`
`PETITIONERS’ MOTION FOR ADMISSION PRO HAC VICE OF KEVIN
`S. PRUSSIA
`
`
`
`IPR2015-01362
`U.S. Patent No. 8,969,841
`
`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 Kevin S. Prussia pro hac vice in this proceeding, IPR2015-
`
`01362. 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 Kevin S. Prussia pro hac vice in this proceeding.
`
`
`
`1
`
`
`
`1.
`
`Lead counsel, Donald R. Steinberg, is a registered practitioner.
`
`IPR2015-01362
`U.S. Patent No. 8,969,841
`
`
`
`
`Backup counsel, David L. Cavanaugh and Michael H. Smith, are also registered
`
`practitioners.
`
`
`
`2. Counsel, Kevin S. Prussia, is an experienced litigator and has an
`
`established familiarity with the subject matter at issue in the proceeding.
`
`Accompanying this motion as Exhibit 1026 is the Declaration of Kevin S. Prussia
`
`in Support of this Motion for Admission Pro Hac Vice (“Prussia Decl.”). In his
`
`declaration, Mr. Prussia asserts:
`
`I am a member in good standing of the Bar of Massachusetts
`and the Bar of New York, and am admitted to practice before
`the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, the
`U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit, and the U.S. Court
`of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. I am also admitted to
`practice before the Supreme Judicial Court for Suffolk County,
`Massachusetts, and the State of New York Supreme Court
`Appellate Division, Third Judicial Dept.
`Prussia Decl. ¶ 2 (Ex. 1026). Mr. Prussia also states 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

`

`U.S. Patent No. 8,969,841
`
`
`
`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.); In the Matter of Certain Laser-Driven Light
`Sources, Subsystems Containing Laser-Driven Light Sources,
`and Products Containing Same, Inv. No. 337-TA-983 (U.S.
`International Trade Commission); Summit 6 LLC v. Apple Inc.,
`Civ. No.: 7:14-cv-00106 (N.D. Tex.); and St. Clair Intellectual
`Property Consultants Inc. v. Research in Motion Ltd. et al.,
`Civ. No: 1:08-cv-00371 (D. Del.). In addition, Energetiq Tech.,
`Inc. v. ASML Netherlands B.V. et al., Civ. No.: 1:15-cv-10240-
`LTS (D. Mass.) also concerned Patent Office rules and
`regulations embodied in 37 C.F.R. § 1.27 regarding the
`definition and treatment of small entities.
`Prussia Decl. ¶ 4 (Ex. 1026). Mr. Prussia also asserts:
`
`I am familiar with the subject matter at issue in this proceeding.
`I have reviewed U.S. Patent No. 8,969,841 (the “‘841 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 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. The validity of the ’841 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

`
`
`
`IPR2015-01362
`U.S. Patent No. 8,969,841
`
`
`
`family as the ’841 patent over some of the prior art raised in
`this proceeding are also contested issues in the Energetiq
`litigation.
`Prussia Decl. ¶ 11 (Ex. 1026).
`
`3.
`In his declaration, Mr. Prussia 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 Prussia Decl. ¶¶ 2-11 (Ex. 1026). Mr.
`
`Prussia 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. Prussia further attests that he agrees to be subject to the United States
`
`Patent and Trademark Office’s Rules of Professional Conduct as set forth in 37
`
`C.F.R. §§ 11.101 et seq. and disciplinary jurisdiction under 37 C.F.R. § 11.19(a).
