`Patent 6,072,450
`
`
`On August 20, 2020, Samsung Display Co., Ltd. (“Petitioner”) filed
`motions for admission pro hac vice of Jared R. Frisch, Robert T. Haslam,
`and Jeffrey H. Lerner in the above-captioned proceeding (collectively
`“Motions”). Papers 13–15. In each of the Motions, Petitioner states that
`“[c]ounsel for Patent Owner has informed the undersigned that Patent
`Owner does not oppose this motion.” Paper 13, 1; Paper 14, 1; Paper 15, 1.
`The 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 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 Paper 4, 2 (citing
`Unified Patents, Inc. v. Parallel Iron, LLC, Case IPR2013-00639 (PTAB
`Oct. 15, 2013) (Paper 7) (representative “Order – Authorizing Motion for
`Pro Hac Vice Admission”)) (“Notice”).
`In its Motions, Petitioner states that there is good cause for the Board
`to recognize Jared R. Frisch, Robert T. Haslam, and Jeffrey H. Lerner
`pro hac vice during these proceedings because each individual “is an
`experienced litigation attorney,” “has substantial experience with patent
`litigation,” and “has familiarity with the subject matter and patent at issue in
`this proceeding.” Paper 13, 1–2; Paper 14, 1–2; Paper 15, 1–2. The Motions
`are supported by Declarations of Mr. Frisch (Ex. 1013), Mr. Haslam (Ex.
`1015), and Mr. Lerner (Ex. 1014) that attest to the facts above and comply
`with the requirements set forth in the Notice. See, e.g., Ex. 1013 ¶¶ 1–11;
`Ex. 1014 ¶¶ 1–11; Ex. 1015 ¶¶ 1–11.

`Patent 6,072,450
`
`
`Upon consideration, Petitioner has demonstrated that Mr. Frisch,
`Mr. Haslam, and Mr. Lerner have sufficient legal and technical
`qualifications to represent Petitioner in these proceedings, and has
`established good cause for admitting Mr. Frisch, Mr. Haslam, and
`Mr. Lerner. See, e.g., Ex. 1013 ¶¶ 9–10; Ex. 1014 ¶¶ 9–10; Ex. 1015 ¶¶ 9–
`10; Paper 13, 1–3; Paper 14, 1–3; Paper 15, 1–3.
`Accordingly, it is
`ORDERED that Petitioner’s Motions for admission pro hac vice of
`Jared R. Frisch, Robert T. Haslam, and Jeffrey H. Lerner for this proceeding
`are granted; Mr. Frisch, Mr. Haslam, and Mr. Lerner are authorized to act as
`back-up counsel in the instant proceedings only;
`FURTHER ORDERED that Petitioner must file, within ten (10)
`business days, updated mandatory notices in this proceeding, identifying
`Mr. Frisch, Mr. Haslam, and Mr. Lerner as back-up counsel in accordance
`with 37 C.F.R. § 42.8(b)(3);
`FURTHER ORDERED that Petitioner must file, within ten (10)
`business days, a power of attorney in this proceeding for Mr. Frisch,
`Mr. Haslam, and Mr. Lerner in accordance with 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(b);
`FURTHER ORDERED that Petitioner is to continue to have a
`registered practitioner represent it as lead counsel for these proceedings;
`FURTHER ORDERED that Mr. Frisch, Mr. Haslam, and Mr. Lerner
`shall comply with the Consolidated Trial Practice Guide, 84 Fed. Reg.
`64,280 (Nov. 21, 2019), 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. Frisch, Mr. Haslam, and Mr. Lerner
