`
`STATEMENT OF PRECISE RELIEF REQUESTED
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(c) and Paper No. 3, Petitioner Valve
`
`Corporation respectfully requests that the Board admit Nathan R. Speed pro hac
`
`vice in this proceeding, IPR2024-00556. Petitioner is concurrently seeking
`
`admission of Mr. Speed pro hac vice in related proceeding IPR2024-00557. Patent
`

`
`hac vice in this proceeding.
`
`II.
`
`STATEMENT OF FACTS SHOWING GOOD CAUSE FOR THE
`BOARD TO RECOGNIZE COUNSEL PRO HAC VICE DURING
`THE PROCEEDING
`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 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 a showing that counsel is
`an experienced litigating attorney and has an established familiarity
`with the subject matter at issue in the proceeding.
`
`The facts here establish good cause for the Board to recognize Mr. Speed pro
`
`hac vice in this proceeding.
`
`1
`
`
`
`
`
`First, as set forth in Mr. Speed’s declaration (Ex. 1081), Mr. Speed has an
`
`established familiarity with the subject matter at issue in these proceedings. He has
`
`worked on preparing and reviewing the materials submitted in this proceeding.
`
`Second, Mr. Speed has extensive patent litigation experience and is expected
`
`to use his experience to support Lead Counsel during the proceeding, including
`
`during depositions. Good cause exists to have Petitioner appoint as counsel Mr.
`
`Speed, as a litigator, to assist Lead Counsel.
`
`Furthermore, as set forth in his declaration, Mr. Speed attests to all of the
`
`representations set forth in part 2(b) of Paper No. 7 from Unified Patents v. Parallel
`
`Iron, Case IPR2013-00639 (PTAB Oct. 15, 2013).
`
`III. CONCLUSION
`For the foregoing reasons, Petitioner respectfully requests that the Board
`
`admit Nathan R. Speed pro hac vice in this proceeding.
