`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(c) and Paper No. 7, Patent Owner Straight Path IP Group,

`
`II.
`
`STATEMENT OF FACTS SHOWING GOOD CAUSE FOR THE BOARD TO
`RECOGNIZE COUNSEL PRO HAC VICE DURING THIS PROCEEDING
`

`
`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 Mr. Fisch pro
`
`hac vice in this proceeding.
