`Patent 7,214,506 B2
`
`
`Petitioner filed an unopposed motion for pro hac vice admission of
`William A. Rakoczy. Paper 94. Petitioner’s motion is supported by the
`Declaration of Mr. Rakoczy. Paper 92.2
`We have reviewed the submissions and determine that the
`requirements of 37 C.F.R. § 42.10 have been met, and there is good cause to
`admit Mr. Rakoczy pro hac vice in this proceeding.
`
`It is
`
`ORDERED that Patent Owner’s Motion for Admission Pro Hac Vice
`
`of Mr. Rakoczy is granted;
`
`FURTHER ORDERED that Mr. Rakoczy shall comply with the
`Office Patent Trial Practice Guide and the Board’s Rules of Practice for
`Trials, as set forth in Part 42 of 37 C.F.R.;
`FURTHER ORDERED that Mr. Rakoczy shall be subject to the
`Office’s disciplinary jurisdiction under 37 C.F.R. § 11.19(a), and the
`Office’s Rules of Professional Conduct set forth in 37 C.F.R. §§ 11.01–
`11.901.
`
`
`2 We note that the better practice is to file a declaration as an exhibit and not
`a paper. See 37 C.F.R. § 42.63 (stating “[a]ll evidence must be filed in the
`form of an exhibit”).
