`
`
`Petitioner moves for pro hac vice admission of Mr. Kevin S. Prussia
`(see, e.g., IPR2015-01277, Paper 23)2 and Mr. James M. Dowd (see, e.g.,
`IPR2015-01277, Paper 24). Petitioner provides affidavits in support of its
`motions. See, e.g., IPR2015-01277, Exs. 1017, 1018. Patent Owner does
`not oppose Petitioner’s motions. See, e.g., IPR2015-01277, Paper 23, 1;
`IPR2015-01277, Paper 24, 1.
`Based on the facts set forth in the motions and the accompanying
`affidavits from Mr. Prussia and Mr. Dowd, we conclude that Mr. Prussia and
`Mr. Dowd have sufficient legal and technical qualifications to represent
`Petitioner in these cases, that Mr. Prussia and Mr. Dowd have demonstrated
`the necessary familiarity with the subject matter of these cases, and that
`there is a need for Petitioner to have counsel with experience as litigation
`attorneys in patent matters involved in these cases. Accordingly, Petitioner
`has established good cause for pro hac vice admission of Mr. Prussia and
`Mr. Dowd. Mr. Prussia and Mr. Dowd will be permitted to appear pro hac
`vice in these cases as back-up counsel only. See 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(c).
`In consideration of the foregoing, it is hereby:
`ORDERED that Petitioner’s motions for pro hac vice admission of
`Mr. Prussia and Mr. Dowd are granted, and Mr. Prussia and Mr. Dowd are
`authorized to represent Petitioner as back-up counsel in these cases;
`FURTHER ORDERED that Petitioner continue to have a registered
`practitioner as lead counsel in these cases;
`FURTHER ORDERED that Mr. Prussia and Mr. Dowd comply with
`the Office Patent Trial Practice Guide and the Board’s Rules of Practice for
`
`
