`
`ORDER
`Denying Patent Owner’s Unopposed Motions for
`Pro Hac Vice Admission of Justin Chen
`37 C.F.R. § 42.10
`
`1 Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., and Samsung Electronics America, Inc., were
`terminated from this proceeding. See, e.g., IPR2015-01500, Paper 28.
`2 This Order addresses issues pertaining to all three cases. Therefore, we exercise
`our discretion to issue one Order to be filed in each case. The parties are not
`authorized to use this style heading for any subsequent papers.

`
`
`IPR2015-01500 (Patent 7,321,368 B2)
`IPR2015-01501 (Patent 7,777,753 B2)
`IPR2015-01502 (Patent 7,542,045 B2)
`
`
`As explained in the Notice According Filing Date (Paper 3), any motion for
`
`pro hac vice admission “shall be filed in accordance with the ‘Order – Authorizing
`
`Motion for Pro Hac Vice Admission’ in Case IPR2013-00639, Paper 7.” That
`
`Order states that a motion for pro hac vice must be accompanied by an affidavit or
`
`declaration attesting that “The individual will be subject to the USPTO Rules of
`
`Professional Conduct set for in 37 C.F.R. §§ 11.101 et. seq. and disciplinary
`
`jurisdiction under 37 C.F.R. § 11.19(a).” Unified Patents Inc. v. Parallel Iron,
`
`LLC, Case IPR2013-00639, Paper 7, 3 (PTAB Oct. 15, 2013).
`
`In our Order Granting Patent Owner’s Unopposed Motions for Pro Hac Vice
`
`Admission of Mr. Michael McBride and Mr. Amir Alavi, we observed that the
`
`declarations of Messrs. Alavi and McBride referred to the wrong rules, and we
`
`encouraged Patent Owner to refer to the correct rules in its next pro hac vice
`
`motion. Paper 20, 2 n.2. The Declaration of Mr. Justin Chen does not, however,
`
`refer to the correct rules. Ex. 2011 ¶ 7 (“I will be subject to the USPTO Code of
`
`Professional Responsibility set forth in 37 C.F.R. 10.20 et seq. and disciplinary
`
`jurisdiction under 37 C.F.R. 11.19(a)).
`
`
`
`Accordingly, it is:
`
`ORDERED that Patent Owner’s unopposed motions for pro hac vice
`
`admission of Mr. Justin Chen is denied without prejudice.3
`
`
`
`
`
`
`3 We now caution both parties that further failures to comply with our orders shall
`result in the denial of motions such as this, with prejudice. See 37 C.F.R.
`§ 42.12(a)(1), (b)(2).
