`
`
`
`
`PATENT OWNER’S MOTION FOR PRO HAC VICE ADMISSION OF
`PERRY M. GOLDBERG UNDER 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(c)
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`1
`
`
`
`Under 37 CFR § 42.10(c) and in response to the authorization provided by
`
`the United States Patent and Trademark Office’s Patent Trial and Appeal Board
`
`(“Board”) in the Notice of Filing Date Accorded to Petition (Paper Number 3,
`
`entered July 11, 2019) (“Notice”) and by email dated March 10, 2020, Patent
`
`Owner DoDots Licensing Solutions LLC (“DoDots”) respectfully moves for Perry
`
`M. Goldberg to appear pro hac vice on its behalf, as back-up counsel, before the
`
`Board in IPR2019-01279. This motion follows the guidelines set forth in
`
`IPR2013-00639, Paper 7, entered October 15, 2013 (“Order”).
`
`I.
`
`Statement of Facts
`
`Under the Order, the following statement of facts shows that good cause
`
`exists for the Board to recognize Mr. Goldberg pro hac vice.
`
`Lead counsel for this proceeding, Lewis E. Hudnell, III, is a registered
`
`practitioner (Registration No. 51,185).
`
`Mr. Goldberg is an experienced litigation attorney, and has been involved in
`
`numerous patent infringement cases in federal District Courts across the country.
`
`He has experience in various aspects of patent infringement matters including
`
`trials, Markman hearings, and summary judgment hearings. Mr. Goldberg is a
`
`member in good standing of the California Bar, and is admitted to practice before
`
`the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, and the United States
`
`District Courts for the Northern and Central District of California. Mr. Goldberg
`
`
`
`2
`
`
`
`has not been suspended or disbarred from practice, never had any application for
`
`admission to practice denied, nor had any sanctions or contempt citations imposed
`
`against him.
`
`Mr. Goldberg is lead counsel for DoDots in a co-pending litigation DoDots
`
`Licensing Solutions LLC v. Lenovo Holding Company Inc., Case No. 1:18-cv-
`
`00098-MN, pending in the United States District Court for the District of
`
`Delaware. This litigation involves U.S. Patent No. 8,510,407 (“the ’407 Patent”),
`
`the same patent at issue in this proceeding, as well as two other patents in the same
`
`family as the ’407 Patent. In his role as lead litigation counsel in that case, Mr.
`
`Goldberg has reviewed and is familiar with the ’407 Patent and the related patents,
`
`and is familiar with the legal and factual issues in that case. He also has studied
`
`the Petition and the prior art references relied upon by the Petitioners. As such,
`
`Mr. Goldberg has established familiarity with the subject matter at issue in this
`
`proceeding.
`
`Mr. Goldberg has read and will comply with the Office Patent Trial Practice
`
`Guide and the Board’s Rules of Practice for Trials set forth in part 42 of 37 C.F.R.,
`
`and he agrees to be subject to the USPTO Rules of Professional Conduct set forth
`
`in 37 C.F.R. §§ 11.101 et. seq. and disciplinary jurisdiction under 37 C.F.R. §
`
`11.19(a).
`
`
`
`3
`
`
`
`Mr. Goldberg is concurrently applying to appear pro hac vice in IPR2019-
`
`00988 and IPR2019-01278. Mr. Goldberg has not applied to appear pro hac vice
`
`before the Board in connection with any other proceedings.
`
`DoDots has expended significant financial resources in the co-pending
`
`litigation with Mr. Goldberg as counsel, and DoDots wishes to continue using Mr.
`
`Goldberg in this proceeding.
`
`As such, DoDots respectfully submits that there is good cause for the Board
`
`to recognize Mr. Goldberg as counsel pro hac vice during this proceeding.
`
`II. Affidavit or Declaration of Individual Seeking to Appear
`
`This Motion for pro hac vice admission is accompanied by a Declaration of
`
`Mr. Goldberg as required by the Order (Ex. 2001).
`
`
`
`

`
`
