`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(c), the Board may recognize counsel

`Inc. v. Parallel Iron, LLC, Case IPR2013-00639 (PTAB Oct. 15, 2013)
`(Paper 7) (representative “Order – Authorizing Motion for Pro Hac Vice
`Admission”)).
`The Board has reviewed the submission and determined that the
`requirements of 37 C.F.R. § 42.10 have been met, and that there is good
`cause to admit Mr. Petrsoric pro hac vice.

`Owner only as back-up counsel in this proceeding;
`FURTHER ORDERED that a registered practitioner will continue to
`represent Patent Owner as lead counsel in the above-listed proceeding;
