`
`
`ENERGETIQ TECHNOLOGY, INC.’S MOTION FOR
`PRO HAC VICE ADMISSION OF FABIO E. TARUD
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`I.
`
`Statement of Precise Relief Requested
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.10, Patent Owner Energetiq Technology, Inc.
`
`(“Energetiq”) requests that the Board admit Fabio E. Tarud pro hac vice in this
`
`proceeding.
`
`II. Good Cause Exists 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. More specifically, 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(c) indicates that
`
`“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 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 Fabio E. Tarud pro hac vice during this proceeding.
`
`Lead Counsel, Steven M. Bauer, is a registered practitioner, having USPTO
`
`Registration No. 31,481.
`
`Counsel, Fabio E. Tarud, is an experienced patent litigator and has an
`
`established familiarity with the subject matter at issue in the proceeding.
`
`Accompanying this motion is the Declaration of Fabio E. Tarud in Support of
`
`Motion for Admission Pro Hac Vice (Ex. 2103). Mr. Tarud is a litigating attorney
`
`
`
`2
`
`
`
`
`
`with over 5 years of patent litigation experience. Ex. 2103 at ¶¶ 9-10. He is a
`
`member in good standing with the Bar of the State of New York. Id. at ¶ 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. Tarud is
`
`familiar with the subject matter at issue, and his technical experience will aid
`
`Energetiq in this proceeding. Id. at ¶ 11. He also satisfies the remaining
`
`conditions for admissibility identified by the Board. See Id. at ¶¶ 6-8.
`
`III. Conclusion
`For the foregoing reasons, Energetiq respectfully requests that the Board
`
`admit Fabio E. Tarud pro hac vice in this proceeding.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Respectfully submitted,
