`Patent 6,667,061 B2
`
`
`Patent Owner has filed a motion for pro hac vice admission of Ha Kung
`Wong in the above-captioned proceeding. Paper 20. The motion is supported by a
`declaration of Mr. Wong. Ex. 2010. Petitioner did not file an opposition to the
`motion.
`Upon of review of the record before us, we note that a power of attorney in
`accordance with 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(b) has not been submitted for Mr. Wong. In
`view of the above, Patent Owner’s motion is conditionally granted, and is to be
`effective after the aforementioned item is corrected.
`We determine that the requirements of 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(c) have been met
`and there is good cause to admit Mr. Wong pro hac vice.
`It is, therefore,
`ORDERED that Patent Owner’s Motion for pro hac vice admission of Mr.
`Wong is conditionally granted provided that within seven (7) business days of the
`date of this order, Patent Owner must submit a Power of Attorney in accordance
`with 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(b); Mr. Wong is authorized to act as back-up counsel in the
`instant proceeding only;
`FURTHER ORDERED that Patent Owner is to continue to have a registered
`practitioner represent it as lead counsel for the instant proceeding;
`FURTHER ORDERED that Mr. Wong is to comply with the Office Patent
`Trial Practice Guide and the Board’s Rules of Practice for Trials, as set forth in
`Part 42 of Title 37, Code of Federal Regulations; and
`FURTHER ORDERED that Mr. Wong is to be subject to the Office’s
`disciplinary jurisdiction under 37 C.F.R. § 11.19(a), and the USPTO Rules of
`Professional Conduct set forth in 37 C.F.R. §§ 11.101 et seq.
