`
` GOVERNING LAW, RULES, AND PRECEDENT
` 37 CFR § 42.10(c) provides that “where lead counsel is a registered
`
` practitioner, a motion to appear pro hac vice by counsel who is not a registered
`
` practitioner may be granted upon a showing that counsel is an experienced
`
` litigating attorney and has established familiarity with the subject matter at issue in
`
` the proceeding.”
`
` STATEMENT OF FACTS
` III.
` The facts here satisfy § 42.10(c) and demonstrate good cause for the Board
`
` to recognize Mr. Noroozi pro hac vice in this proceeding.
`
` Lead counsel, Peter C. Knops, is a registered practitioner. Counsel, Kayvan
`
` B. Noroozi, is an experienced patent litigator in good standing with the California

` State Bar, admitted to practice before the United States District Courts for the
`
` 1
`
`
`
` Case No. IPR2022-00648
` U.S. Pat. 9,860,044
`
` Eastern District of Texas and Northern District of California, and has never been
`
` suspended, disbarred, sanctioned, cited for contempt of court, or had a court or
`
` administrative body deny his application for admission to practice. Ex. 2012 ¶¶
`
` 1-5. Mr. Noroozi’s declaration includes a list of the proceedings before the Office
`
` in which he has applied to appear pro hac vice in the last three years. Id. at ¶ 6. Mr.
`
` Noroozi has read and will comply with the Office Patent Trial Practice Guide and
`
` the Board’s Rules of Practice for Trials set forth in part 42 of title 37 of the Code of
`
` Federal Regulations. Id. at ¶ 7. Mr. Noroozi understands and accepts that he will be
`
` subject to the USPTO Rules of Professional Conduct set forth in 37 C.F.R.
`
` §§ 11.101 et. seq. and disciplinary jurisdiction under 37 C.F.R. § 11.19(a). Id. at
`
` ¶ 8. Mr. Noroozi is familiar with the subject matter at issue in this proceeding
`
` through his involvement in a prior Inter Partes Review proceeding involving the
`
` underlying patent, a review of the underlying patent, the record, and discussions
`
` with Patent Owner and its counsel. Id. at ¶ 9.
`
` CONCLUSION

` admit Kayvan B. Noroozi pro hac vice in this proceeding.
