`
`Based on the facts set forth in the motion and the accompanying
`declaration from Ms. Hansen, we conclude that Ms. Hansen has sufficient
`legal and technical qualifications to represent Petitioner in this case, that

`pro hac vice admission. Ms. Hansen will be permitted to appear pro hac
`vice in this case 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 motion for pro hac vice admission of
`Ms. Melody Drummond Hansen is granted, and Ms. Hansen is authorized to
`represent Petitioner as back-up counsel in this case;
`FURTHER ORDERED that Petitioner continue to have a registered
`practitioner as lead counsel in this case;
`FURTHER ORDERED that Ms. Hansen comply with the Office
`Patent Trial Practice Guide and the Board’s Rules of Practice for Trials, as

`disciplinary jurisdiction under 37 C.F.R. § 11.19(a), and to the USPTO
