`
`
`
`PETITIONER’S UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR PRO HAC VICE
`ADMISSION OF EMILY J. TREMBLAY UNDER 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(C)
`
`
`
`IPR2020-01343
`Patent RE 46,116
`
`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, Petitioner Medtronic, Inc., and
`
`Medtronic Vascular, Inc., respectfully request pro hac vice admission of Emily J.
`
`Tremblay in this proceeding. Petitioner seeks Ms. Tremblay’s assistance because
`
`of her 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
`
`Petitioner’s lead counsel in this proceeding, Cyrus A. Morton, is a registered
`
`practitioner. Ms. Tremblay has been a practicing patent litigation attorney for about
`
`four years. Before that, Ms. Tremblay spent four years clerking for federal judges,
`
`experiencing fact and expert discovery, dispositive motions, oral arguments, and
`
`trial in patent infringement matters.
`
`Ms. Tremblay has established familiarity with the subject matter at issue in
`
`this proceeding as well as the other related proceedings. She is supporting
`
`Petitioner’s ongoing work in opposition to the conception and reduction to practice
`
`briefing that Patent Owner filed on May 14, 2021, and Petitioner’s reply in support
`
`of its Petition. If this motion were denied, Petitioner would be prejudiced because
`
`they would have to undertake the burdensome and costly task of educating another

`
`
`
`IPR2020-01343
`Patent RE 46,116
`
`attorney regarding the patent at issue in this proceeding, and the related evidence.
`
`Petitioner respectfully requests 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 Ms. Tremblay. In the Declaration of Emily J. Tremblay, Ms.
`
`Tremblay attests that she has read and will comply with the Patent Office Trial
`
`Practice Guide and the Board’s Rules of Practice set forth in 35 C.F.R. § 42. Ms.
`
`Tremblay further attests that she 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).
`
`For the foregoing reasons, and in view of the Declaration submitted
`
`herewith, Petitioner submits that good cause exists for the pro hac vice admission
`
`of Emily J. Tremblay and respectfully requests that the Board grant this motion.
`
`Dated: July 21, 2021
