`INTRODUCTION
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(c) and the Notice of Filing Date Accorded to
`
`Petition (Paper 7), Petitioner Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC. (“Petitioner”), respectfully
`
`requests that the Board recognize Damon M. Lewis as counsel pro hac vice in this
`
`proceeding. Petitioner is not seeking to replace either its current lead or back-up lead
`
`counsel with Mr. Lewis. Petitioner has conferred with Patent Owner’s counsel, who
`
`stated Patent Owner does not oppose this motion.
`
`Where the lead counsel is a registered practitioner, a non-registered
`
`practitioner may be permitted to appear pro hac vice “upon a showing that counsel
`
`is an experienced litigating attorney and has established familiarity with the subject
`
`matter at issue in the proceeding.” 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(c); Unified Patents, Inc. v.
`
`Parallel Iron, LLC, Case IPR2013-00639 (P.T.A.B. Oct. 15, 2013) (Paper 7) (setting
`
`forth requirements for pro hac vice admission).
`
`As set forth in the accompanying Declaration (EX1036), Damon M. Lewis is
`
`a Partner at Hogan Lovells US LLP and an experienced patent litigation attorney
`
`with significant experience representing clients in patent matters before the courts.
`
`Based on the facts detailed below and in his declaration, Mr. Lewis has significant
`
`familiarity with the particular subject matter in this IPR proceeding.
`
`This unopposed motion is authorized by the Notice of Filing Date Accorded
`
`- 1 -

`U.S. Patent No. 10,049,080
`
`that was mailed on August 29, 2023. See Paper 4, 2.
`
`II.
`
`STATEMENT OF FACTS
`Mr. Lewis has focused his practice on patent law since 2006 and has extensive
`
`experience representing clients in patent matters before courts and agencies,
`
`including U.S. District Courts, the International Trade Commission, and the U.S.
`
`Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. EX1036, ¶8.
`
`Mr. Lewis has significant knowledge and experience in patent litigation,
`
`including through litigating invalidity defenses, defending and deposing witnesses,
`
`handling evidentiary issues, and arguing issues of claim construction. Id., ¶9.
`
`Mr. Lewis has previously been involved in proceedings before the Board, and
`
`has worked on such matters since 2018. Id., ¶10. This experience includes: assisting
`
`with the preparation of petitions and other submissions and preparing witnesses for
`
`deposition. Id. He has not applied to appear pro hac vice in any other proceedings
`
`before the Board in the last three (3) years. Id.
`
`Based on his involvement to date, Mr. Lewis has developed an established
`
`familiarity with the subject matter of this proceeding, including a close familiarity
`
`with the arguments and evidence in the petition. Id., ¶11. He has gained this
`
`familiarity through review and analysis of the challenged patent, the prosecution
`
`history of the challenged patent, technical literature, the expert declaration, and other
`
`- 2 -
`
`
`
`Case IPR2023-01333
`U.S. Patent No. 10,049,080
`
`sources of information. Id.
`
`Petitioner is concurrently filing a motion for pro hac vice admission of Mr.
`
`Lewis in related proceeding IPR2023-01335.
`
`Mr. Lewis is a member in good standing of the bars of Virginia, the District
`
`of Columbia, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, U.S. District Court for
`
`the Eastern District of Virginia, and the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District
`
`of Michigan. Id., ¶2.
`
`Mr. Lewis has never been suspended or disbarred from practice before any
`
`court or administrative body (id., ¶3), has never been denied admission to practice
`
`before any court or administrative body (id., ¶4), and has never received sanctions
`
`or contempt citations against him from any court or administrative body (id., ¶5).
`
`Mr. Lewis certifies that he has read and will comply with the Office Patent
`
`Trial Practice Guide and the Board’s Rules of Practice for Trials set forth in part 42
`
`of 37 C.F.R. EX1036, ¶6. Mr. Lewis certifies that he understands that he will be
`
`subject to the Rules of Professional Conduct under 37 C.F.R. §§ 11.101 et seq. and
`
`disciplinary jurisdiction under 37 C.F.R. § 11.19(a). EX1036, ¶7.
`
`Mr. Lewis certifies that in this proceeding he will work in coordination with
`
`lead counsel Celine Jimenez Crowson, who is a registered practitioner. Id., ¶12.
`
`III. GOOD CAUSE EXISTS FOR THIS MOTION
`
`- 3 -
`
`
`
`Case IPR2023-01333
`U.S. Patent No. 10,049,080
`The Board may recognize counsel pro hac vice during a proceeding upon a
`
`showing of good cause. Based on the facts above, as supported by Mr. Lewis’s
`
`declaration (EX1036), there is good cause to admit Mr. Lewis pro hac vice in this
`
`proceeding given his extensive experience and qualifications (EX1036 ¶¶2, 8-10)
`
`and established familiarity with the subject matter at issue in this proceeding
`
`(EX1036 ¶11).
`
`In addition, Mr. Lewis has significant knowledge and experience in patent
`
`litigation, including defending and deposing witnesses, handling evidentiary issues,
`
`and arguing issues of claim construction. Id., ¶8-10. These skills are readily
`
`applicable to post-grant proceedings and favor admitting Mr. Lewis to represent
`
`Petitioner.
`
`Petitioner will maintain a registered practitioner as lead counsel for at least as
`
`long as Mr. Lewis is admitted pro hac vice. Mr. Lewis certifies that he will
`
`coordinate and associate with the designated lead counsel for Petitioner, Celine
`
`Jimenez Crowson, who is a registered practitioner, for the duration of his
`
`involvement. EX1036 ¶12.
