`Based on the facts set forth in the motions and the accompanying

`Mr. Tarud has demonstrated the necessary familiarity with the subject matter
`of these cases, and that there is a need for Patent Owner have counsel with
`experience as a litigation attorney in patent matters involved in these cases.
`Accordingly, Patent Owner has established good cause for Mr. Tarud’s pro
`hac vice admission. Mr. Tarud 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 Patent Owner’s motions for pro hac vice admission
`of Mr. Fabio E. Tarud are granted, and Mr. Tarud is authorized to represent
`Patent Owner as back-up counsel in these cases;
`FURTHER ORDERED that Patent Owner continue to have a
`registered practitioner as lead counsel in these cases;
