`STATEMENT OF THE PRECISE RELIEF REQUESTED
`
`Pursuant to the Board’s December 8, 2022 Notice of Filing Date Accorded
`
`(Paper 3) and 37 C.F.R. §§ 42.10(c) and 42.22, Petitioner Amazon.com, Inc., hereby
`
`moves for an order allowing Mark Lezama of Knobbe, Martens, Olson & Bear, LLP,
`

`with Patent Owner, and Patent Owner stated it does not oppose this motion.
`
` LIST OF EXHIBITS RELIED UPON FOR THIS MOTION
`
`Exhibit 1014 - Declaration of Mark Lezama in Support of Motion to Appear Pro
`
`Hac Vice on Behalf of Petitioner.
`
` REASONS THE REQUESTED RELIEF SHOULD BE GRANTED
`
`As set forth below in the Statement of Material Facts, Petitioner has made all
`
`of the showings required under 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(c) for recognizing Mr. Lezama
`
`pro hac vice. In particular, Mr. Lezama is an experienced litigation attorney who
`
`has represented clients in numerous patent-related cases in various United States
`
`district courts and on appeal, including technically and legally complex matters such
`
`as will be present in this proceeding. Accordingly, allowing Mr. Lezama to appear
`
`pro hac vice on behalf of Petitioner is appropriate in this proceeding.
`
` STATEMENT OF MATERIAL FACTS
`
`1.
`
`37 C.F.R. § 42.10(c) provides: “The Board may recognize counsel pro
`
`hac vice during a proceeding upon a showing of good cause, subject to the condition
`
`-1-
`
`
`
`Amazon.com, Inc. v. Jawbone Innovations, LLC
`IPR2023-00251
`
`
`that lead counsel be a registered practitioner and to any other conditions as the
`
`Board may impose. For example, where the lead counsel is a registered practitioner,
`
`a motion to appear pro hac vice by counsel who is not a registered practitioner may
`
`be granted upon showing that counsel is an experienced litigating attorney and has
`
`an established familiarity with the subject matter at issue in the proceeding.”
`
`2.
`
`Lead counsel for Petitioner in this inter partes review proceeding is
`
`Colin B. Heideman. Mr. Heideman is registered to practice before the United States
`
`Patent and Trademark Office and holds Registration No. 61,513.
`
`3.
`
`As set forth in Exhibit 1014, Mr. Lezama is an experienced litigating
`
`attorney and has an established familiarity with the subject matter at issue in this
`
`proceeding. (Ex. 1014 ¶¶ 2-5.) In particular, Mr. Lezama is admitted to practice
`
`before the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, and over the past
`
`16 years, he has represented clients in numerous patent litigations across the United
`
`States. (Id. ¶ 2.) Mr. Lezama is counsel of record for Petitioner in the parallel dis-
`
`trict-court litigation and has been involved in developing invalidity contentions for
`
`the ’357 patent in that case. (Id. ¶ 5.) In addition, Mr. Lezama has experience in
`
`inter partes review proceedings, having previously been admitted before the Board
`
`pro hac vice in Amazon.com, Inc. and Amazon Web Services, LLC v. Personalized
`
`-2-
`
`
`
`Amazon.com, Inc. v. Jawbone Innovations, LLC
`IPR2023-00251
`
`
`Media Communications, LLC, Case IPR2014-01528, and Guest Tek Interactive En-
`
`tertainment Ltd. v. Nomadix, Inc., Cases IPR2019-00211 and IPR2019-00253. (Id.
`
`¶ 3.)
`
`4.
`
`Further, Mr. Lezama holds a bachelor’s degree in mathematics from
`
`Harvard College. (Id. ¶ 4.)
`
`5. Mr. Lezama is familiar with U.S. Patent 11,122,357 and with the legal
`
`subject matter, technical subject matter, and cited art discussed in the petition for
`
`inter partes review of the ’357 patent. (Id. ¶ 5.) In view of his legal experience,
`
`technical background, and familiarity with the issues in the present matter, Petitioner
`
`has requested his services in the present matter. (Id.) Denial of his appearance in
`
`this case would create an undue burden on Petitioner. (Id.)
`
`6. Mr. Lezama has read and will comply with the Office Patent Trial Prac-
`
`tice Guide and the Board’s Rules of Practice for Trials set forth in Part 42 of Title
`
`37 of the Code of Federal Regulations. (Id. ¶ 10.) Mr. Lezama also agrees to be
`
`subject to the United States Patent and Trademark Office Rules of Professional Con-
`
`duct set forth in 37 C.F.R. §§ 11.101 et seq., and disciplinary jurisdiction under 37
`
`C.F.R. § 11.19(a). (Id. ¶ 11.)
`
`7.
`
`Finally, Mr. Lezama has attested to the remaining elements of Para-
`
`graph 2(b) of the representative “Order – Authorizing Motion for Pro Hac Vice Ad-
`
`mission” in Case IPR2013-00639, Paper 7. (Id. ¶¶ 6-12; see Notice of Filing Date
