`Granting Patent Owner’s Motion for

`37 C.F.R. § 42.10(c)
`
`
`
`IPR2016-01370
`Patent 8,664,231 B2
`
`
`medac Gesellschaft für klinische Spezialpräparate mbH (“Patent
`Owner”) moves for an Order allowing Mr. Henry Huang of Ropes & Gray
`LLP to appear pro hac vice on behalf of Patent Owner. Paper 47; see also
`Ex. 2101 (corrected declaration of Mr. Huang in support of pro hac vice
`admission).1 Patent Owner represents that the motion is unopposed. Paper
`47, at 1.
`Patent Owner’s motion is granted. Patent Owner shall file a power of
`attorney and update its mandatory notices in accordance with 37 C.F.R.
`§§ 42.8 and 42.10. Counsel recognized pro hac vice shall comply with
`37 C.F.R. Parts 11 and 42 and the Office Patent Trial Practice Guide,
`77 Fed. Reg. 48,755 (Aug. 14, 2012), and are subject to disciplinary
`jurisdiction under 37 C.F.R. § 11.19(a).
`
`Accordingly, it is
`ORDERED that Patent Owner’s motion for pro hac vice admission of
`Mr. Huang is granted; Mr. Huang may represent Patent Owner only as
`backup counsel in the instant proceeding;
`FURTHER ORDERED that Patent Owner shall continue to have a
`registered practitioner represent it as lead counsel in the instant proceeding;
`
`
`1 Patent Owner initially filed a declaration (Ex. 2100) that did not attest to no
`sanctions or contempt citations having been imposed by any court or
`administrative body and incorrectly referred to the “USPTO Rules of
`Professional Conduct” as the “USPTO Code of Professional Responsibility.”
`The corrected declaration rectifies those issues. Ex. 2101 ¶¶ 6, 8. This order
`directs the original declaration (Ex. 2100) to be expunged from the record.

`Patent Trial Practice Guide and the Board’s Rules of Practice for Trials, as
`set forth in Part 42 of the C.F.R.;
`FURTHER ORDERED that Mr. Huang shall 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. §§ 11.101–11.901; and
`FURTHER ORDERED that Exhibit 2100 shall be expunged from the
`record.
