`
` 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 Petitioners Samsung Bioepis Co., Ltd., Celltrion Inc., and Biocon
`
`Biologics Inc. (“Petitioners”), and Petitioners do 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 Adam Brausa (Reg. No. 60,287) is the counsel of record
`
`for Patent Owner. Mr. Brausa is an experienced patent attorney who has worked with
`
`Mr. Cobb in this proceeding, and will continue to do so.
`
`2
`
`
`
`
`
`IPR2023-00884
`
`2. Mr. Cobb has significant familiarity with the subject matter in this
`
`proceeding and has substantive knowledge of the patent-at-issue (Patent No.
`
`11,253,572 (the “’572 Patent”)) by virtue of his preparation for this proceeding. (Cobb
`
`Decl. ¶ 10). Mr. Cobb has conducted a detailed review of the ’572 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
`
`’572 Patent, related patents, and Patent Owner’s commercial product, Eylea®. (Cobb
`
`Decl. ¶ 11). 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, Adam Brausa, 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).

`III. CONCLUSION

`
`requirements, Patent Owner respectfully requests that the Board admit Mr. Jeremy
`
`Cobb pro hac vice, in this proceeding.
