`DECISION
`Granting Petitioner’s Motions for Pro Hac Vice
`Admission of Jamie B. Beaber and Michael Maas
`37 C.F.R. § 42.10
`Petitioner, LG Electronics, Inc., moves for pro hac vice admission of
`Mr. Jamie B. Beaber (e.g., IPR2015-00321, Paper 8) and Mr. Michael Maas
`(e.g., IPR2015-00321, Paper 9) in each of the above-captioned cases.
`Petitioner provides declarations from Mr. Beaber (e.g., IPR2015-00321, Ex.

`
`Case IPR2015-00321 (Patent 7,095,945 B1)
`Case IPR2015-00322 (Patent 6,784,879 B1)
`Case IPR2015-00325 (Patent 7,742,053 B2)
`Case IPR2015-00326 (Patent 6,897,871 B1)

`
`1009) and Mr. Maas (e.g., IPR2015-00321, Ex. 1010) in support of its
`motions. Patent Owner, ATI Technologies ULC, has not filed an opposition
`to Petitioner’s motions.
`Based on the facts set forth in the motions and the accompanying
`declarations from Mr. Beaber and Mr. Maas, we conclude that Mr. Beaber
`and Mr. Maas have sufficient legal and technical qualifications to represent
`Petitioner in this case, that Mr. Beaber and Mr. Maas have demonstrated the
`necessary familiarity with the subject matter of these cases,1 and that there is
`a need for Petitioner to have counsel with experience as litigation attorneys
`in patent matters involved in these cases. Accordingly, Petitioner has
`established good cause for Mr. Beaber’s and Mr. Maas’s pro hac vice
`admission. Mr. Beaber and Mr. Maas will be permitted to appear pro hac
`vice in these cases as back-up counsel only. See 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(c).
`In consideration of the foregoing, it is hereby:
`ORDERED that Petitioner’s motions for pro hac vice admission of
`Mr. Jamie B. Beaber and Mr. Michael Maas are granted, and Mr. Beaber
`and Mr. Maas are authorized to represent Petitioner as back-up counsel in
`these cases;
`FURTHER ORDERED that Petitioner continue to have a registered
`practitioner as lead counsel in these cases;
`
`1 There is an inconsistency in the identification of the related litigation.
`Compare, e.g., IPR2015-00321, Paper 8, 2–3 (“5:14-cv-1012”) with, e.g.,
`IPR2015-00321, Paper 3, 2 (“3:14-cv-01012”); see also, e.g., IPR2015-
`00321, Paper 2, 1 (“3:14-cv-01012”). Updated mandatory notices should be
`filed, as appropriate. See 37 C.F.R. § 42.8.
