`
`
`Patent Owner Zond, LLC (“Zond”) filed a Motion for Pro Hac Vice
`Admission of Dr. Maria Granovsky (Paper 222), supported by an Affidavit
`of Dr. Granovsky (Ex. 2001), in each of the above-identified proceedings.
`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.
`Upon review of Zond’s Motions and supporting evidence, we
`determine that Zond has demonstrated that Dr. Granovsky has sufficient
`legal and technical qualifications to represent Zond in these proceedings.
`We also recognize that there is a need for Zond to have Dr. Granovsky be
`involved in the proceedings at issue. Accordingly, Zond has established that
`there is good cause for admitting Dr. Granovsky.
`Accordingly, it is
`ORDERED that Zond’s Motions for Pro Hac Vice Admission of
`Dr. Maria Granovsky are granted; Dr. Granovsky is authorized to represent
`Zond as back-up counsel in the above-identified proceedings;

`practitioner represent it as lead counsel for these proceedings;
`FURTHER ORDERED that Dr. Granovsky is 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.
