`DISCUSSION
`On April 16, 2021, Masimo Corporation (“Patent Owner”) filed
`motions for pro hac vice admission of Mr. Jeremiah S. Helm and
`Mr. William R. Zimmerman, in the above-captioned proceedings. Papers 11
`and 12 (collectively “Motions”).2 The motions are accompanied by
`declarations from Mr. Helm (Ex. 2001) and Mr. Zimmerman (Ex. 2002).
`Patent Owner indicates the motions are unopposed. Paper 11, 1; Paper 12, 1.
`Having reviewed the motions and declarations, we conclude that
`Mr. Helm and Mr. Zimmerman have sufficient qualifications to represent
`Patent Owner in this proceeding, and that Patent Owner has shown good
`cause for pro hac vice admission of Mr. Helm and Mr. Zimmerman. See
`Unified Patents, Inc. v. Parallel Iron, LLC, IPR2013-00639, Paper 7 (PTAB
`Oct. 15, 2013) (Order Authorizing Motion for Pro Hac Vice Admission)
`(setting forth the requirements for pro hac vice admission). Mr. Helm and
`Mr. Zimmerman will be permitted to appear pro hac vice as back-up counsel
`only. See 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(c).
