`
`
`
`

`cases. The parties, however, are not authorized to use this style of filing in
`subsequent papers.

`IPR2014-00578
`Patent 6,896,775 B2
`
`
`Petitioner The Gillette Company (“Gillette”) filed the following
`Motions in each of the proceedings identified in the Appendix: (1) a Motion
`for Pro Hac Vice Admission of Mr. Mark Matuschak (Paper 222), supported
`by a Declaration of Mr. Matuschak (Ex. 1026); (2) a Motion for Pro Hac
`Vice Admission of Mr. Cosmin Maier (Paper 23), supported by a
`Declaration of Mr. Maier (Ex. 1027). The motions are unopposed.
`Paper 22, 2; Paper 23, 2.
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(c), we 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. In authorizing
`motions for pro hac vice, we require the moving party to provide a statement
`of facts showing there is good cause for us to recognize counsel pro hac
`vice, and an affidavit or declaration of the individual seeking to appear in the
`proceedings identified in the Appendix. Paper 4, 2.
`Upon review of Gillette’s Motions and supporting evidence, we
`determine that Gillette has demonstrated that Messrs. Matuschak and Maier
`have sufficient legal and technical qualifications to represent Gillette in the
`proceedings identified in the Appendix. We also recognize that there is a
`need for Gillette to have them be involved in the proceedings at issue.
`Accordingly, Gillette has established that there is good cause for admitting
`Messrs. Matuschak and Maier.
`
`2 For the purpose of clarity and expediency, we treat IPR2014-00578 as
`representative, and all citations are to IPR2014-00578 unless otherwise
`noted.

`
`
`Accordingly, it is
`ORDERED that Gillette’s Motions for Pro Hac Vice Admission of
`Messrs. Mark Matuschak and Cosmin Maier are granted; they are authorized
`to represent Gillette as back-up counsel in the proceedings identified in the
`Appendix, except in IPR2014-00799 and IPR2014-00803;
`FURTHER ORDERED that Gillette is to continue to have a registered
`practitioner represent it as lead counsel for those proceedings; and
`FURTHER ORDERED that Messrs. Matuschak and Maier are to
`comply with the Office Patent Trial Practice Guide and the Board’s Rules of
`Practice for Trials, as set forth in Part 42 of Title 37, Code of Federal
`Regulations; and they are to be subject to the Office’s disciplinary
`jurisdiction under 37 C.F.R. § 11.19(a), and the USPTO Rules of
`Professional Conduct set forth in 37 C.F.R. §§ 11.101 et. seq.
