`PATENT OWNER’S MOTION FOR ADMISSION PRO HAC VICE OF
`IAN R. WASHBURN
`

`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Case IPR2019-01067
`Patent 9,958,107
`I. Statement of Relief Requested
`Patent Owner PopSockets LLC requests that the Patent Trial and Appeal
`
`Board (the “Board”) recognize Ian R. Washburn pro hac vice in this proceeding,
`
`IPR2019-01067, pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(c).
`
`The Board may recognize counsel pro hac vice in a proceeding upon a
`
`showing of good cause, so long as lead counsel is a registered practitioner and any
`
`other conditions that the Board may impose are met. 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(c). “[W]here
`
`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.” Id. The facts here establish good
`
`cause for the Board to recognize Ian R. Washburn pro hac vice in this proceeding.
`
`II. Statement of Facts Showing Good Cause
`First, lead counsel Michael R. Fleming is a registered practitioner.
`
`Second, counsel Ian R. Washburn is an experienced litigator and has
`
`established familiarity with the subject matter at issue in this proceeding. Filed
`
`herewith as Exhibit 2001 is the May 15, 2019 declaration of Ian R. Washburn in
`
`support of this motion (“Washburn Decl.”). For example, Mr. Washburn asserts
`
`therein:
`
`
`
`
`
`
`- 1 -
`
`

`I am a member in good standing of the State Bar of California,
`
`and am admitted to practice before the United States Court of
`
`Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, the United States District Court for
`
`the Central District of California, and the United States District
`
`Court for the Northern District of California.
`
`Washburn Decl. ¶ 3. Mr. Washburn also asserts:
`I am familiar with and knowledgeable about the subject matter at
`
`issue in this proceeding. I am also acquainted with and
`
`knowledgeable about U.S. Patent No. 9,958,107, which is the
`
`subject of this proceeding.
`
`Id.¶ 11.
`
`Mr. Washburn attests to each of the items set forth in “Order – Authorizing
`
`Motion for Pro Hac Vice Admission” in Case IPR2013-00639, Paper 7. See
`
`Washburn Decl. ¶¶ 3-12.
