`
`
`The Boeing Company (“Petitioner”) filed a Motion for Admission Pro
`Hac Vice of Edward (Ted) G. Dane (Paper 15, “Motion”), which was
`accompanied by an affidavit of Edward (Ted) G. Dane (Paper 16). Patent
`Owner, Seymour Levine, has not filed an opposition to the Motion.
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(c), we 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 authorizing
`motions for pro hac vice, we require the moving party to provide a statement
`of facts showing there is good cause for us to recognize counsel pro hac
`vice, and an affidavit or declaration of the individual seeking to appear in the
`proceeding.
`Upon review of Petitioner’s Motion and supporting evidence, we
`determine that Petitioner has demonstrated that Mr. Dane has sufficient legal
`and technical qualifications to represent Petitioner in the above-identified
`proceedings. We also recognize that there is a need for Petitioner to have
`him involved in these proceedings.
`Accordingly, Petitioner has established that there is good cause for
`admitting Edward (Ted) G. Dane.
`It is
`ORDERED that Petitioner’s Motion for Pro Hac Vice Admission of
`Edward (Ted) G. Dane is granted; Mr. Dane is authorized to represent
`Petitioner as back-up counsel in the above-identified proceeding;
`FURTHER ORDERED that Petitioner is to continue to have a
`registered practitioner represent it as lead counsel for the proceeding;
`FURTHER ORDERED that Mr. Dane is to comply with the Office
`Patent Trial Practice Guide and the Board’s Rules of Practice for Trials, as
