`
`I.
`
`STATEMENT OF FACTS
`
`As required by § 42.10(c), the following statement of facts demonstrates
`
`that there is good cause for the Board to recognize Messrs. Fenster and Tsuei
`
`pro hac vice.
`
`Messrs. Fenster and Tsuei are both experienced patent litigation attorneys.
`
`Mr. Fenster has practiced patent litigation since 1995, and Mr. Tsuei since
`
`2012. Mr. Fenster is a partner at Russ August & Kabat and co-chair of the
`
`Litigation Department and head of the Intellectual Property Department. Both
`
`have experience litigating numerous patent infringement litigation matters be-
`
`fore U.S. district courts. U.S. Patent No. 10,330,897 and numerous related
`
`patents are currently asserted by Patent Owner in pending district court litiga-
`
`tion against Petitioner, (Corephotonics, Ltd. v. Apple, Inc., Case Nos. 17-6457,
`
`18-2555, and 19-4809 (Northern District of California). Messrs. Fenster and
`
`Tsuei are among the principal attorneys responsible for the representation of
`
`Patent Owner in those co-pending litigations. Through their roles as attorneys
`
`in the co-pending litigations, both attorneys have an established familiarity
`
`with the subject matter at issue in this IPR proceeding. Both are heavily in-
`
`volved with issues such as claim construction and invalidity present in those

`
`
`Case No. IPR2020-00878
`U.S. Patent No. 10,330,897
`
`litigations, many of which overlap with the grounds presented in this IPR pro-
`
`ceeding. Patent Owner has expended significant resources in the co-pending
`
`litigation with Messrs. Fenster and Tsuei as counsel, and it wishes to continue
`
`using them as counsel in this IPR proceeding. Patent Owner has executed a
`
`Power of Attorney authorizing Messrs. Fenster and Tsuei to serve as backup
`
`counsel in this IPR proceeding. (Paper 5.)
