`Patent 7,706,778
`
`
`On July 21, 2015, Patent Owner filed a Motion for pro hac vice
`admission of Ronald P. Oines along with a supporting declaration by Mr.
`Oines. See Paper 6; Declaration of Ronald P. Oines in Support of Patent
`Owner’s Motion (“Oines Decl.”) attached thereto. Petitioner has not
`opposed the Motion.
`Patent Owner’s lead counsel, Benjamin Deming, is a registered
`practitioner. Paper 6, 3. Patent Owner has shown by its Motion and Mr.
`Oines’s declaration that Mr. Oines is an experienced litigating attorney and
`has an established familiarity with the subject matter at issue in the
`proceedings. See Paper 6, 3; Oines Decl., ¶¶ 1–8. Mr. Oines therefore has
`satisfied the requirements for pro hac vice admission in this proceeding.
`In consideration of the foregoing, it is
`ORDERED that Patent Owner’s unopposed Motion for pro hac vice
`admission of Mr. Oines is granted; Mr. Oines is authorized to represent
`Patent Owner only as back-up counsel in this proceeding;
`FURTHER ORDERED that Patent Owner is to continue to have a
`registered practitioner represent it as lead counsel for this proceeding;
`FURTHER ORDERED that Mr. Oines is to comply with the Office
`Patent Trial Practice Guide and the Board’s Rules of Practice for Trials, as
`set forth in Part 42 of Title 37, Code of Federal Regulations; and
`FURTHER ORDERED that Mr. Oines is to be subject to the Office’s
`disciplinary jurisdiction under 37 C.F.R. § 11.19(a), and the USPTO Rules
`of Professional Conduct set forth in 37 C.F.R. §§ 11.101 et. seq.
