`IPR2014-00799
`Patent 7,808,184 B2
`
`
`Patent Owner Zond, LLC (“Zond”) filed the following Motions in
`each of the proceedings identified in the Appendix: (1) a Motion for Pro
`Hac Vice Admission of Dr. Maria Granovsky (Paper 232), supported by an
`Affidavit of Dr. Granovsky (Ex. 2006); and (2) a Motion for Pro Hac Vice
`Admission of Mr. Etai Lahav (Paper 24), supported by an Affidavit of
`Mr. Lahav (Ex. 2005). The Motions are unopposed.
`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 3, 2.
`Upon review of Zond’s Motions and supporting evidence, we
`determine that Zond has demonstrated that Dr. Granovsky and Mr. Lahav
`each have sufficient legal and technical qualifications to represent Zond in
`the proceedings identified in the Appendix. We also recognize that there is a
`need for Zond to have them be involved in the proceedings at issue.
`Accordingly, Zond has established that there is good cause for admitting
`Dr. Granovsky and Mr. Lahav.
`
`
`2 For the purpose of clarity and expediency, we treat IPR2014-00799 as
`representative, and all citations are to IPR2014-00799 unless otherwise
`noted.

`represent Zond as back-up counsel in the proceedings identified in the
`Appendix;
`FURTHER ORDERED that Zond is to continue to have a registered
`practitioner represent it as lead counsel for those proceedings;
`FURTHER ORDERED that Dr. Granovsky and Mr. Lahav 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
