`ORDER
`Granting Patent Owner’s Unopposed Motion for Pro Hac Vice Admission of
`Joseph A. Herriges
`37 C.F.R. § 42.10
`
`
`
`GM Global Technology Operations LLC (“Patent Owner”) filed
`
`motions for pro hac vice admission of Joseph A. Herriges in the above-listed
`
`proceedings (“Motions”). Paper 9.2 Patent Owner also filed supporting
`
`declarations from Mr. Herriges. Ex. 2002. Patent Owner states that the
`
`Motions are unopposed. Paper 9, 1.
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(c), the Board may recognize counsel
`
`pro hac vice during a proceeding upon a showing of good cause, subject to
`
`the condition that lead counsel be a registered practitioner. In its notice
`
`authorizing motions for pro hac vice admission, the Board requires a
`
`statement of facts showing there is good cause for the Board to recognize
`
`counsel pro hac vice, and an affidavit or declaration of the individual
`
`seeking to appear in this proceeding. See Paper 3, 2 (citing Unified Patents,
`
`Inc. v. Parallel Iron, LLC, Case IPR2013-00639 (PTAB Oct. 15, 2013)
`
`(Paper 7) (representative “Order – Authorizing Motion for Pro Hac Vice
`
`Admission”)).

`
`Owner only as back-up counsel in these proceedings;

`
`Board’s Rules of Practice for Trials, as set forth in Part 42 of Title 37, Code
`
`of Federal Regulations;3 and
`
`FURTHER ORDERED that that Mr. Herriges is subject to the
`
`USPTO’s Rules of Professional Conduct set forth in 37 C.F.R. §§ 11.101 et
`
`

`Patent Trial Practice Guide and the Board’s Rules of Practice for Trials set
`forth in part 42 of the Code of Federal Regulations.” Ex. 2002 ¶ 5. The
`Office Patent Trial Practice Guide and the Board’s Rules of Practice for
`Trials are set forth in Part 42 of Title 37, Code of Federal Regulations. We
