`
`
`
`PETITIONERS’ UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR PRO HAC VICE
`ADMISSION OF RYAN E. DORNBERGER UNDER 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(C)
`
`
`
`IPR2020-01343
`Patent RE46,116
`
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(c) and the Notice of Filing Date Accorded to
`
`Petition and Time for Filing Patent Owner Preliminary Response entered on
`
`August 27, 2020 (Paper 6) in this proceeding, Petitioners, Medtronic, Inc. and
`
`Medtronic Vascular, Inc., respectfully request pro hac vice admission of Ryan E.
`
`Dornberger in this proceeding. Petitioners seek Mr. Dornberger’s assistance
`
`because of his familiarity with the substantive and technical issues involved in this
`
`proceeding. The parties have conferred, and Patent Owner does not oppose this
`
`Motion.
`
`1.
`
`Statement of Facts
`
`Pursuant to the requirements of 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(c), Cyrus A. Morton, a
`
`registered practitioner, will remain as lead counsel in this matter.
`
`Mr. Dornberger is an experienced patent litigation attorney with over six
`
`years of experience in fact and expert discovery, Markman hearings, and oral
`
`arguments in patent infringement matters before Federal district courts, the
`
`United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, and the PTAB.
`
`Mr. Dornberger has established familiarity with the subject matter at issue
`
`in this proceeding. Robins Kaplan LLP represents Petitioners in this proceeding,
`
`as well as other related IPR proceedings and Mr. Dornberger is actively involved
`
`in all aspects of Petitioners’ submissions in this proceeding. If this motion was
`
`denied, Petitioners would be prejudiced because they would have to undertake
`
`1
`
`
`
`IPR2020-01343
`Patent RE46,116
`
`
`the burdensome and costly task of educating another attorney regarding the
`
`patent at issue in this proceeding, and the related evidence. Petitioners
`
`respectfully request that the Board avoid this prejudice and grant this Motion.
`
`2. Affidavit or Declaration of Individual Seeking to Appear
`
`This Motion for Pro Hac Vice Admission is accompanied by the required
`
`Declaration of Mr. Dornberger. In the Declaration of Ryan E. Dornberger (Ex.
`
`1125), Mr. Dornberger attests that he has read and will comply with the Patent
`
`Office Trial Practice Guide and the Board’s Rules of Practice set forth in 37 C.F.R.
`
`§ 42. Mr. Dornberger further attests that he agrees to be subject to the USPTO’s
`
`Rules of Professional Conduct as set forth in 37 C.F.R. §§ 11.101 et seq. and
`
`disciplinary jurisdiction under 37 C.F.R. § 11.19(a).

`
`of Ryan E. Dornberger and respectfully requests that the Board grant this motion.
