`DECISION
`Granting Petitioner’s Unopposed Motion for
`Pro Hac Vice Admission of Sharick Naqi
`37 C.F.R. § 42.10
`
`
`1 IPR2017-01239 and IPR2017-01240, respectively, have been joined to
`these cases. This Order addresses substantially identical motions filed in the
`identified cases. We exercise our discretion to issue one Order to be filed in
`each case. The parties are not authorized to use this style of heading.

`Patent 6,407,213 B2
`
`
`Petitioner filed motions for pro hac vice admission of Sharick Naqi.
`Paper 77.2 The motions are supported by declarations of Mr. Naqi.
`Ex. 1212. Petitioner avers that Patent Owner does not oppose the motions.
`Paper 77, 4.
`The Board has reviewed the submissions and determined that the
`requirements of 37 C.F.R. § 42.10 have been met and there is good cause to
`admit Mr. Naqi pro hac vice. Mr. Naqi will be permitted to appear pro hac
`vice as back-up counsel only. See 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(c).
`
`It is, therefore,
`
`ORDERED that Patent Owner’s motions for admission of Sharick
`Naqi pro hac vice are granted;
`FURTHER ORDERED that Petitioner is to continue to have a
`registered practitioner as lead counsel;
`FURTHER ORDERED that Sharick Naqi comply with the Office
`Patent Trial Practice Guide and the Board’s Rules of Practice for Trials, as
`set forth in Title 37, Part 42 of the Code of Federal Regulations; and
`FURTHER ORDERED that Sharick Naqi is subject to the Office’s
`disciplinary jurisdiction under 37 C.F.R. § 11.19(a), and to the USPTO
`Rules of Professional Conduct set forth in 37 C.F.R. §§ 11.101 et seq.
