`
`
`INTRODUCTION
`I.
`Petitioner filed a motion for pro hac vice admission of Talin Gordnia
`in this proceeding. Paper 12 (“Motion” or “Mot.”). Patent Owner does not
`oppose the Motion. Mot. 4. For the following reasons, the Motion is
`granted.
`
`II. ANALYSIS
`Counsel may be admitted pro hac vice upon a showing of good cause,
`subject to the condition that lead counsel is a registered practitioner. 37
`C.F.R. § 42.10(c). Specifically, if lead counsel is a registered practitioner,
`back-up counsel may be permitted to appear pro hac vice “upon showing
`that counsel is an experienced litigating attorney and has an established
`familiarity with the subject matter at issue in the proceeding.” Id. For the
`reasons set forth in the Motion and the accompanying affidavit of Ms.
`Gordnia (Ex. 1018), we find that good cause exists to admit Ms. Gordnia pro
`hac vice in this proceeding.
`
`III. ORDER
`In consideration of the foregoing, it is hereby:
`ORDERED that the Motion is granted, and Talin Gordnia is
`authorized to represent Petitioner as back-up counsel in the above-listed
`proceeding;
`FURTHER ORDERED that a registered practitioner will continue to
`represent Petitioner as lead counsel in the above-listed proceeding; and
`FURTHER ORDERED that Ms. Gordnia is to comply with the
`Board’s Rules of Practice for Trials set forth in Part 42 of Title 37, Code of
`Federal Regulations, and the Office Patent Trial Practice Guide, and is
`subject to the USPTO’s Rules of Professional Conduct set forth in 37 C.F.R.
