`
`DECISION
`
`Motion for Pro Hac Vice Admission
`37 C.F.R. § 42.10

`IPR2016-00055 (Patent 8,648,717 B2)
`
`
`As authorized by the Notice of Filing Date Accorded to the Petition
`
`(Paper 31), Patent Owner M2M Solutions LLC filed a “Motion for Pro Hac
`
`Vice Admission” (Paper 6) of Michelle Moran.2 Petitioners do not oppose
`
`the Motion. Patent Owner’s Motion is granted. See 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(c);
`
`see also Unified Patents, Inc. v. Parallel Iron, LLC, IPR2013-00639, Order
`
`Authorizing Motion for Pro Hac Vice Admission, Paper 7 (October 15,
`
`2003) (setting forth requirements for pro hac vice admission).3
`
`It is
`
`ORDERED that Patent Owner’s Motion for pro hac vice admission is
`
`granted, and Ms. Moran is authorized to represent Patent Owner as back-up
`
`counsel in IPR2016-00054 and IPR2016-00055;
`
`FURTHER ORDERED that Patent Owner is to continue to have a
`
`registered practitioner as lead counsel in these inter partes review
`
`proceedings; and
`
`FURTHER ORDERED that Ms. Moran is to comply with the Office
`
`Patent Trial Practice Guide and the Board’s Rules of Practice for Trials, as
`
`
`1 All citations are to IPR2016-00054 unless otherwise noted. IPR2016-
`00055 includes the same cited papers and exhibits.
`2 Patent Owner also filed an affidavit of Ms. Moran in support of the Motion
`(Ex. 2001). Although Ms. Moran’s declaration identifies several
`proceedings before the Office in which she has applied to appear pro hac
`vice in the last three years (Ex. 2001 ¶ 9), we are aware that Ms. Moran has
`applied to be admitted before the Office in related proceeding IPR2015-
`01823, which was not identified. As that proceeding is related to this
`proceeding, we hold this omission as a minor typographical oversight and do
`not deny Ms. Moran admission based on this omission.
