`
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. §§ 42.10(b) and (c), Petitioner, Sandoz Inc., hereby
`
`moves for the admission of Christopher L. McArdle, a member of the Bar of the
`
`State of New York, as co-counsel for Petitioner in this inter partes review (“IPR”)
`
`proceeding. An appropriate power of attorney from Petitioner so appointing Mr.
`
`McArdle was filed with the Petition. See Paper 1.
`
`
`
`Mr. McArdle holds a B.A. degree in Chemistry from Washington University
`
`in St. Louis and a J.D. degree from Tulane University. Exhibit 1023 ¶ 1. Mr.
`
`McArdle is a member in good standing with the Bar of the State of New York.
`
`Exhibit 1023 ¶ 2. He has never been suspended, disbarred, sanctioned, denied
`
`admission to practice, or cited for contempt by any court or administrative body. Id.
`
`at ¶¶ 3–5.
`
`
`
`Mr. McArdle has become intimately familiar with the patent at issue in this
`
`proceeding and the prior art, including Petitioner’s arguments as to why the claims
`
`at issue are invalid in view of Petitioner’s prior art. Mr. McArdle’s technical
`
`experience will aid Petitioner in this proceeding. He also satisfies the remaining
`
`conditions for admissibility identified by the Board. Exhibit 1023 ¶¶ 6–9.
`
`
`
`Petitioner moves for the admission of Mr. McArdle to designate him as back-
`
`up counsel in this IPR, in view of his knowledge, familiarity, and experience with
`
