`Granting Petitioner’s Motion for Pro Hac Vice Admission of

`37 C.F.R. § 42.10
`

`
`
`On August 26, 2021, Petitioner filed motions for pro hac vice
`admission of Jared Bobrow in each of the above-listed proceedings. Paper 7
`(“Motion”).2 Petitioner also filed a supporting declaration from Mr. Bobrow
`in each proceeding. Ex. 1020 (“Declaration”). Patent Owner has not
`opposed the Motion.
`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 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”).
`Lead counsel for Petitioner, Don Daybell, a registered practitioner,
`filed each Motion. Motion, 1. In the Motion, Petitioner contends there is
`good cause for the Board to recognize Mr. Bobrow pro hac vice during these
`proceedings because Mr. Bobrow “is an experienced litigation attorney” and
`“has familiarity with the subject matter at issue in this proceeding” and the
`patents at issue. Motion, 2; see also, Ex. 1020 ¶¶ 8, 9. Mr. Bobrow’s
`Declaration also complies with the requirements for pro hac vice admission.
`Ex. 1020 ¶¶ 1–10; see Unified Patents, slip op. at 3–4.

`

`00830. Similar Papers and Exhibits were filed in IPR2021-00831 and
`IPR2021-00832.

`
`
`Having reviewed the Motion and supporting Declaration, we find that
`good cause exists for granting admission pro hac vice to Mr. Bobrow in each
`of the above-listed proceedings.
`
`In consideration of the foregoing, it is hereby:
`ORDERED that the Motion is granted, and Jared Bobrow is
`authorized to represent Petitioner only as back-up counsel in the above-
`identified proceedings;
`FURTHER ORDERED that a registered practitioner will continue to
`represent Petitioner as lead counsel in the above-identified proceedings;
`FURTHER ORDERED that Mr. Bobrow shall comply with the Office
`Patent Trial Practice Guide3 (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. Bobrow shall be subject to the
`USPTO’s Rules of Professional Conduct set forth in 37 C.F.R. §§ 11.101 et
`seq. and to the USPTO’s disciplinary jurisdiction under 37 C.F.R. §
`11.19(a).
