`BEFORE THE PATENT TRIAL AND APPEAL BOARD
`
`SAMSUNG DISPLAY CO., LTD.,
`Petitioner,
`
`v.
`
`SOLAS OLED, LTD.,
`Patent Owner.
`
`Case No. IPR2020-00320
`Patent No. 7,446,338
`
`PETITIONER’S UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR ADMISSION
`PRO HAC VICE OF JARED R. FRISCH UNDER 37 C.F.R. § 42.10
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`I.
`
`Relief Requested
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.10, and in accordance with the Board’s Order,
`
`IPR2020-00320
`
`Paper No. 7 in Case IPR2013-00639, and the Notice of Filing Date Accorded to
`
`Petition (Paper No. 5), Petitioner requests that the Board admit Jared R. Frisch pro
`
`hac vice in this proceeding. Counsel for Patent Owner has informed the undersigned
`
`that Patent Owner does not oppose this motion.
`
`II.
`
`Statement of Facts
`37 C.F.R. § 42.10(c) states that the Board “may recognize counsel pro hac
`
`vice during a proceeding upon a showing of good cause, subject to the condition that
`
`lead counsel be a registered practitioner and to any other conditions as the Board
`
`may impose. For example, where the lead counsel is a registered practitioner, a
`
`motion to appear pro hac vice by counsel who is not a registered practitioner may
`
`be granted upon showing that counsel is an experienced litigating attorney and has
`
`an established familiarity with the subject matter at issue in the proceeding.” The
`
`facts, supported by the attached Declaration of Jared R. Frisch in Support of
`
`Petitioner’s Motion for Admission Pro Hac Vice (Ex. 1021, “Frisch Decl.”),
`
`establish good cause to admit Mr. Frisch pro hac vice in this proceeding.
`
`Lead counsel, David A. Garr, is a registered practitioner.
`
`Counsel, Jared R. Frisch, is an experienced litigation attorney with nearly nine
`
`years in private law practice and has substantial experience with patent litigation.

`discovery, trials, appeals, dispositive motions, and Markman hearings. Id.

`
`before the Office within the last three (3) years. Id. at ¶ 8.
`
`III. Analysis
`The facts contained in the Statement of Facts above, and contained in the
`
`Frisch Declaration, establish that there is good cause to admit Mr. Frisch pro hac

`vice in this proceeding, under 37 C.F.R. § 42.10. Lead counsel is a registered
