`
`
`
`PETITIONERS’ MOTION FOR ADMISSION PRO HAC VICE OF
`JAMES M. DOWD
`
`
`
`IPR2015-01279
`Petitioners’ Motion for Admission Pro Hac Vice Of James M. Dowd
`
`Statement of Precise Relief Requested
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(c) and Paper No. 6 authorizing the parties to
`
`
`I.
`
`
`
`file motions for pro hac vice admission under 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(c), Petitioners
`
`ASML Netherlands B.V., Excelitas Technologies Corp., and Qioptiq Photonics
`
`GmbH & Co., KG (“Petitioners”) request that the Patent Trial and Appeal Board
`
`(the “Board”) admit James M. Dowd pro hac vice in this proceeding, IPR2015-
`
`01279. Patent Owner Energetiq Technology, Inc. (“Patent Owner”) does not
`
`oppose this motion.
`
`II.
`
`
`
`Statement of Facts Showing Good Cause for the Board to Recognize
`Counsel Pro Hac Vice During the Proceeding
`
`In accordance with 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(c), 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. Section 42.10(c) indicates that “where 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 James M. Dowd pro hac vice in this proceeding.
`

`
`
`
`IPR2015-01279
`Petitioners’ Motion for Admission Pro Hac Vice Of James M. Dowd
`
`1.
`
`Lead counsel, Donald R. Steinberg, is a registered practitioner.
`
`
`
`
`Backup counsel, David L. Cavanaugh and Michael H. Smith, are also registered
`
`practitioners.
`
`
`
`2. Counsel, James M. Dowd, is an experienced litigator and has an
`
`established familiarity with the subject matter at issue in the proceeding.
`
`Accompanying this motion as Exhibit 1017 is the Declaration of James M. Dowd
`
`in Support of this Motion for Admission Pro Hac Vice (“Dowd Decl.”). In his
`
`declaration, Mr. Dowd asserts:
`
`I am a member in good standing of the Virginia State Bar, the District
`of Columbia Bar, and the State Bar of California, and am admitted to
`practice before the Supreme Court of the United States, the U.S.
`Courts of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, the Ninth Circuit, and the
`Fourth Circuit, and U.S. District Courts for the Central District of
`California, the Northern District of California, the Southern District of
`California, the Eastern District of California, and the Eastern District
`of Virginia.
`Dowd Decl. ¶ 2 (Ex. 1017). Mr. Dowd also states that he has a long-standing
`
`relationship with real-party-in-interest ASML Netherlands B.V. (“ASML”) and has
`
`represented ASML in numerous patent cases:
`
`Beginning in 2002 and continuing until the present, I have represented
`ASML Netherlands B.V., a real-party-in-interest in this proceeding, in
`several patent and patent-related litigations and arbitrations. Patent
`
`
`
`2
`
`
`
`IPR2015-01279
`Petitioners’ Motion for Admission Pro Hac Vice Of James M. Dowd
`
`
`
`and patent-related cases in which I represent or have represented
`include: Certain
`ASML Netherlands B.V. or
`its affiliates
`Microlithographic Machines and Components Thereof, Inv. No. 337-
`TA-468 (USITC 2003), Nikon Corp. v. ASML Netherlands B.V., Civ.
`No.: 3:02-cv-05081 (N.D. Cal. 2004), and ASML Netherlands B.V. v.
`Nikon Corp., Civ. No.: 3:02-cv-05601 (N.D. Cal. 2004).
`Dowd Decl. ¶ 11 (Ex. 1017). Mr. Dowd also asserts that he has been a part of
`
`numerous patent litigations that have concerned PTO rules and regulations:
`
`Over the course of my career, I have been counsel in dozens of patent
`litigations. Several of these cases have concerned Patent Office rules
`and regulations. For example, I have litigated a number of cases
`concerning the duty of candor to the Patent Office embodied in 37
`C.F.R. § 1.56. Cases that I have been involved in which implicate this
`rule include Energetiq Tech., Inc. v. ASML Netherlands B.V. et al.,
`Civ. No.: 1:15-cv-10240-LTS (D. Mass.) (the “Energetiq litigation”,
`which is a related matter to this proceeding); Cal. Inst. Of Tech. v.
`Hughes Communs., Inc., Civ. No: 2:13-cv-07245 (C.D. Cal. 2014);
`ASML Netherlands B.V. v. Nikon Corp., Civ. No.: 3:02-cv-05601
`(N.D. Cal. 2004); SanDisk Corp. v. STMicroelectronics, Inc., Civ.
`No.: 5:06-cv-00194 (N.D. Cal. 2006); In the Matter of Certain NAND
`Flash Memory Circuits and Products Containing Same, Inv. No. 337-
`TA-526 (USITC 2006); and In the Matter of Certain NOR and NAND
`Flash Memory Devices and Products Containing Same, Inv. No. 337-
`TA-560 (USITC 2006). In addition, the Energetiq litigation also
`
`
`
`3
`
`
`
`IPR2015-01279
`Petitioners’ Motion for Admission Pro Hac Vice Of James M. Dowd
`
`
`
`concerned Patent Office rules and regulations embodied in 37 C.F.R.
`§ 1.27 regarding the definition and treatment of small entities.
`Dowd Decl. ¶ 4 (Ex. 1017). Furthermore, Mr. Dowd also demonstrates that he has
`
`a detailed working knowledge of the relevant subject matter:
`
`I am familiar with the subject matter at issue in this proceeding. I
`have reviewed U.S. Patent No. 7,786,455 (the “’455 patent”), which is
`being challenged in this proceeding, and I have reviewed the relevant
`prior art. Beginning in 2015 and continuing until the present, I have
`represented Petitioners ASML Netherlands B.V., Excelitas
`Technologies Corp., and Qioptiq Photonics GmbH & Co. KG in the
`Energetiq litigation, which is a related matter to this proceeding. The
`validity of the ’455 patent over the prior art raised in this proceeding
`is a contested issue in the Energetiq litigation. The validity of other
`patents in the same patent family as the ’455 patent over some of the
`prior art raised in this proceeding are also contested issues in the
`Energetiq litigation.
`Dowd Decl. ¶ 12 (Ex. 1017).
`
`3.
`In his declaration, Mr. Dowd also attests to each of the listed items
`
`required by the Order – Authorizing Motion for Pro Hac Vice Admission – 37
`
`C.F.R. § 42.10 in IPR2013-00639. See Dowd Decl. ¶¶ 2-12 (Ex. 1017). Mr.
`
`Dowd attests 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 35 C.F.R. § 42. Mr.
`
`Dowd further attests that he agrees to be subject to the United States Patent and
