`Patent 10,804,740 B2
`On September 29, 2022, Patent Owner filed a motion requesting pro
`hac vice admission of John Petrsoric. Paper 18 (“Motion”). Patent Owner
`submitted a Declaration from Mr. Petrsoric in support of the
`Motion. Ex. 2022. Patent Owner attests that Petitioner does not oppose the
`Motion. Motion 2.
`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 5,
`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”)).
`Based on the facts set forth in the Motion and the accompanying
`Declaration, we conclude that Mr. Petrsoric has sufficient legal and technical
`qualifications to represent Patent Owner in this proceeding, that Mr.
`Petrsoric has demonstrated sufficient familiarity with the subject matter of
`this proceeding, and that Mr. Petrsoric meets all other requirements for
`admission pro hac vice. See Ex. 2022. Accordingly, Patent Owner has
`established good cause for pro hac vice admission of Mr. Petrsoric.
`
` In consideration of the foregoing, it is hereby
`
`ORDERED that Patent Owner’s Motion (Paper 18) for pro hac
`vice admission of John Petrsoric is granted;

`FURTHER ORDERED that Patent Owner continue to have a
`registered practitioner represent it as lead counsel for the instant proceeding,
`but that Mr. Petrsoric is authorized to act as back-up counsel;
`
`FURTHER ORDERED that Mr. Petrsoric comply with the
`Consolidated Trial Practice Guide1 (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. Petrsoric is 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.
