`
`[Each of the Motions avers that the individual is “trial. counsel for Petitioners
`
`in patent litigation against Patent Owner concerning the patent challenged in the
`
`Petition,” with Mr. Hurst being denoted as “lead” trial counsel. Paper l l, p. 3,
`
`Paper 12, p. 3, and "Paper l3, p 3. The l.\/lotions merely provide a general statement
`
`about each counse1’s role, stating that “as a result of [counsel’s] involvement as
`
`trial counsel for Petitioners in co~—pendi:ng district court litigation over the involved
`
`patent, [counsel] has obtained liamiliarity with the involved patent, the prior art,

`
`Moreove_i*, eaelrt oi’ the Motions notes that the trial eounsel “has not applied

`to appear pm /‘7cf'lC! ‘vice in the last three years in any matter before the Board.”
`
`Paper 1.1, p. 4, Paper 12, p. 4, and Paper "l3, p 3. Therefore, none of the trial
`
`counsel has any particularized expertise in inter parres review or other proceedings
`
`before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board that would provide a unique reason why
`
`that counsel. should be admitted into the present: proceeding.
`
`The recognition ofcounsel pro /vac vice during a proceeding is within the
`
`discretion of the Board, based upon a showing of good cause. 37 C.F.R. §
`
`42. 10(0). Here, Petitioners have not established good cause for admission of three
`
`trial counsel whose individual contributions would be virtually the same.
`
`'l‘here‘fore, the Motions should be denied, or, in the alternative, Petitioners should
`
`be limited to one qualified trial counsel.
