`
`INTRODUCTION
`I.
`Petitioner filed a motion for pro hac vice admission of Jonathan
`Kagan in the above-listed proceedings. See, e.g., IPR2016-01391, Paper 21
`(“Motion” or “Mot.”). Patent Owner does not oppose the Motion. Mot. 3.
`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 declaration of Mr.
`Kagan (see, e.g., IPR2016-01391, Ex. 1019), we find that good cause exists
`to admit Mr. Kagan pro hac vice in the above-listed proceedings.
`III. ORDER
`In consideration of the foregoing, it is hereby:
`ORDERED that the Motion is granted, and Jonathan Kagan is
`authorized to represent Petitioner as back-up counsel in the above-listed
`proceedings;
`FURTHER ORDERED that a registered practitioner will continue to
`represent Petitioner as lead counsel in the above-listed proceedings;
`FURTHER ORDERED that Mr. Kagan 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
