`U.S. Patent No. 8,315,619 Petition for Inter Partes Review
`
`
`
`The Patent Owner respectfully requests that the Board recognize Anton
`
`Nasri Handal as counsel pro hac vice during this proceeding. Notwithstanding the
`
`filing of this Motion, the Patent Owner reserves all objections related to the
`
`timeliness of service or other filing defects related to the Petition.
`
`Mr. Handal has served as litigation counsel for the Patent Owner e.Digital
`
`Corporation for over three years. He is an experienced litigation attorney and has
`
`been and is actively involved in patent infringement lawsuits involving the patent-
`
`at-issue. His role would be that of back-up counsel together with the Patent
`
`Owner’s counsel of record, the undersigned, Robert E. Purcell. Mr. Handal is
`
`familiar with the relevant technology, the products-at-issue, and the patent-at-issue
`
`and has obtained first-hand knowledge of related proceedings involving the patent-
`
`at-issue as lead litigation counsel for the patent owner for over a year, including a
`
`deep familiarity with the file history, claim construction issues, and validity issues.
`
`Therefore, Patent Owner respectfully submits that there is good cause for the
`
`Board to recognize Mr. Handal as counsel pro hac vice during this proceeding.
`
`This Motion for Pro Hac Vice Admission is accompanied by the attached
`
`Declaration of Anton Nasri Handal.
