`
`
`Petitioner filed Motions for Pro Hac Vice Admission of Gregory H.
`Lantier (“Motions”) in the above-listed proceedings. Paper 14 (“Mot.”).2
`The Motions are unopposed. Upon review of the record before us, and for
`the reasons set forth below, Petitioner’s Motions are granted.
`In accordance with 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(c), we may recognize counsel
`pro hac vice during a proceeding upon a showing of good cause. In
`authorizing a motion for pro hac vice admission, the Board requires the
`moving party to provide a statement of facts showing that there is good
`cause for the Board to recognize counsel pro hac vice and an affidavit or
`declaration of the individual seeking to appear in the proceeding. See
`Unified Patents, Inc. v. Parallel Iron, LLC, IPR2013-00639, Paper 7 (PTAB
`Oct. 15, 2013) (representative “Order – Authorizing Motion for Pro Hac
`Vice Admission”)).
`Lead Counsel for Petitioner is David L. Cavanaugh, a registered
`practitioner. Mot. 1. In the Motions, Petitioner states that there is good
`cause for the Board to recognize Mr. Lantier pro hac vice in these
`proceedings. Id. The Motions further assert that Mr. Lantier has experience
`and familiarity with the subject matter of the patent at issue. Id.
`Declarations of Gregory H. Lantier attesting to, and sufficiently
`explaining, the required facts accompany the Motions. Ex. 1038. The
`Declarations comply with the requirements for pro hac vice admission and
`establish that Mr. Lantier is an experienced attorney with an established
`familiarity with the subject matter at issue in these proceedings. Id. ¶¶ 2,
`13–14. The Declarations further acknowledge that Mr. Lantier is subject to

`
`the USPTO Rules of Professional Conduct set forth in 37 C.F.R. §§ 11.101
`et seq. and disciplinary jurisdiction under 37 C.F.R. § 11.19(a). Id. ¶ 11.
`
`Upon consideration of the circumstances of these proceedings,
`Petitioner has demonstrated sufficiently that Mr. Lantier has sufficient legal
`and technical qualifications to represent Petitioner. Accordingly, Petitioner
`has established that there is good cause for admitting Mr. Lantier. Mr.
`Lantier may only be designated as backup counsel.
`We also note that Petitioner should update its mandatory notices for
`each of the above-identified proceedings, as required by 37 C.F.R. § 42.8,
`and update its counsel information in the PTAB E2E filing system.
`
`Petitioner’s Motions are granted.
