`
`
`On August 16, 2022, Petitioner filed motions for Pro Hac Vice
`Admission of Shannon L. Bjorklund (Paper 9) and Geoffrey M. Godfrey
`(Paper 11) (collectively “Motions”) in each of the above-identified
`proceedings. 2 The Motions are supported by Declarations of Ms. Bjorklund
`(Paper 10) and Mr. Godfrey (Paper 12) (collectively “Declarations”). 3
`Patent Owner did not file an opposition to either of the Motions.
`Upon review of the record before us, we determine that all
`requirements for admission pro hac vice have been met and good cause
`exists to admit Ms. Bjorklund and Mr. Godfrey pro hac vice.
`
`It is, therefore,
`ORDERED that Petitioner’s Motions for Pro Hac Vice admission of
`Shannon L. Bjorklund and Geoffrey M. Godfrey are granted; Ms. Bjorklund
`and Mr. Godfrey are authorized to act only as back-up counsel in the above-
`identified proceedings;
`FURTHER ORDERED that Petitioner is to continue to have a
`registered practitioner represent it as lead counsel;
`
`
`2 For expediency, we refer to Paper numbers filed in IPR2022-00543.
`Similar Papers were filed in IPR2022-00544, IPR2022-00545, and IPR2022-
`00546.
`3 Petitioner filed the Declarations as Papers. We remind Petitioner 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.”).
