`Patent No. 9,254,338 B2
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(c) Patent Owner Regeneron Pharmaceuticals,
`
`Inc. (“Patent Owner”) hereby files this motion for Mr. Jeremy Cobb to appear pro
`
`hac vice on its behalf before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board in this proceeding.
`
`As required by the Board’s Notice of Filing Date Accorded to Petition (Paper 3)
`
`this motion for pro hac vice admission under 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(c) is being “filed in
`
`accordance with the ‘Order -- Authorizing Motion for Pro Hac Vice Admission’ in
`
`Case IPR2013-00639” (“IPR2013-00639 Order”). (Paper 3 at 2.). Patent Owner
`
`conferred with Petitioner Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“Petitioner”) and Petitioner
`
`does not oppose the Motion for Admission pro hac vice.
`
`I.
`
`STATEMENT OF FACTS
`
`The following facts, along with the attached Declaration of Jeremy Cobb
`
`(Cobb Decl.) support admission of Mr. Cobb pro hac vice in this proceeding.
`
`1.
`
`Lead Counsel Deborah E. Fishman (Reg. No. 48,621) and Back-up
`
`Counsel Alice S. Ho (Lim. Rec. No. L1162) are the counsel of record for Patent
`
`Owner. Ms. Fishman and Ms. Ho are experienced patent attorneys and have
`
`worked closely with Mr. Cobb since they became involved in these proceedings,
`
`and will continue to do so.
`
`2.
`
`Mr. Cobb has significant familiarity with the subject matter in this
`
`proceeding and has substantive knowledge of the patent-at-issue (Patent No.
`
`9,254,338 B2 (the “’338 Patent”)) by virtue of his preparation for this
`
`2
`
`

`

`Case IPR2021-00881
`Patent No. 9,254,338 B2
`
`proceeding. (Cobb Decl. ¶ 11). Mr. Cobb has conducted a detailed review of the
`
`‘338 Patent, the relevant prior art, and the prosecution history and related patents.
`
`In fact, a significant amount of Mr. Cobb’s time since October 2021 has been
`
`spent working on issues related to the ’338 Patent and Patent Owner’s
`
`commercial product, Eylea®. Therefore, Mr. Cobb has significant experience
`
`with the subject matter of this proceeding.
`
`II. REASONS FOR GRANTING THE MOTION
`
`The Board may recognize counsel pro hac vice during a proceeding “upon a
`
`showing of good cause, subject to the condition that lead counsel be a registered
`
`practitioner and to any other conditions as the Board may impose.” 37 C.F.R. §
`
`42.10(c). As set forth above, lead counsel in this proceeding, Deborah E. Fishman,
`
`is a registered practitioner. Moreover, as set forth above and in the accompanying
`
`Cobb declaration, Mr. Cobb is a patent litigation attorney and has an established
`
`familiarity with the subject matter at issue in the proceeding. (Cobb Decl. ¶¶ 3,
`
`11).
