`INTRODUCTION
`I.
`Petitioner filed a motion for pro hac vice admission of Ms. Karon N.
`Fowler in this proceeding. Paper 7 (“Motion” or “Mot.”). Patent Owner
`does not oppose the Motion. Mot. 2. 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 Ms.
`Fowler (Ex. 1047), good cause exists to admit Ms. Fowler pro hac vice in
`this proceeding.
`
`III. ORDER
`
`It is hereby
`ORDERED that the Motion is granted, and Ms. Karon N. Fowler 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. Fowler 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. §§ 11.101 et
