`
`Petitioner filed a motion for pro hac vice admission of Mr. Kevin
`Wheeler in each of the identified pending reviews. Paper 26.2 Each motion
`was accompanied by a declaration from Mr. Wheeler in support of the
`motion. Exhibit 1028. Petitioner does not indicate whether Patent Owner
`opposes Petitioner’s motions. Patent Owner, however, has not filed any
`opposition to the motions in the time period set forth in the Notice of Filing
`Date Accorded. Paper 3, 2 (authorizing filing a motion for Pro Hac Vice in
`accordance with the “Order–Authorizing Motion for Pro Hac Vice
`Admission” in Case IPR2013-00639, Paper 7); see Unified Patents, Inc. v.
`Parallel Iron, LLC, Case IPR2013-00639 (PTAB Oct. 15, 2013) (Paper 7)
`(“Parties seeking to oppose a motion for pro hac vice admission must file
`their opposition no later than one week after the filing of the underlying
`motion.”).
`Having reviewed the motions and the declarations of Mr. Wheeler, we
`conclude that Mr. Wheeler has sufficient qualifications to represent
`Petitioner in these proceedings and that Petitioner has shown good cause for
`Mr. Wheeler pro hac vice admission. See Case IPR2013-00639, Paper 7
`(setting forth the requirements for pro hac vice admission). Mr. Wheeler
`will be permitted to appear pro hac vice in these proceedings as back-up
`counsel only. See 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(c).
