`Patent 6,239,614 B1
`
`On October 19, 2020, Patent Owner filed a Motion for Pro Hac Vice
`Admission of Joshua L. Young. Paper 24 (“Motion”). The Motion is
`supported by a Declaration of Mr. Young. Paper 25.1 Petitioner has not
`opposed the Motion.
`Upon review of the record before us, we determine that the
`requirements of 37 C.F.R. § 42.10 have been met and there is good cause to
`admit Mr. Young pro hac vice.
`
`It is, therefore,
`ORDERED that Patent Owner’s Motion for Pro Hac Vice Admission
`of Joshua L. Young is granted; Mr. Young is authorized to act only as back-
`up counsel;
`FURTHER ORDERED that Patent Owner is to continue to have a
`registered practitioner represent it as lead counsel;
`FURTHER ORDERED that Mr. Young is to comply with the
`Consolidated Trial Practice Guide2 (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
`
`
`1 Patent Owner filed the Declaration as a Paper. We deem this to be
`harmless error. Patent Owner is reminded, however, that affidavits and
`declarations must be filed as exhibits. See 37 C.F.R. § 42.63(a) (“Evidence
`consists of affidavits, transcripts of depositions, documents, and things. All
`evidence must be filed in the form of an exhibit.”).

`Patent 6,239,614 B1
`
`FURTHER ORDERED that Mr. Young is to be subject to the Office’s
`disciplinary jurisdiction under 37 C.F.R. § 11.19(a), and the USPTO Rules
`of Professional Conduct set forth in 37 C.F.R. §§ 11.101 et seq.3
`
`
`
`
`3 Mr. Young declares he “will be subject to the USPTO Code of Professional
`Responsibility set forth in 37 C.F.R. §§ 11.101 et seq.,” rather than the
`USPTO Rules of Professional Conduct set forth in 37 C.F.R. §§ 11.101 et
`seq. Paper 25, 2. We deem this to be harmless error.
