`Case IPR2016-00816 (Patent D604,970 S)
`Case IPR2016-00826 (Patent D616,231 S)
`
`
`On March 14, 2017, Patent Owner filed, in IPR2016-00816, a motion for
`Pro Hac Vice Admission of Kyle D. Wallenberg. Paper 15 (“Motion”). The
`Motion is supported by a Declaration of Mr. Wallenberg. Ex. 2009. A similar
`Motion and accompanying Declaration were filed in IPR2016-00826 as Paper 16
`and Exhibit 2009, respectively. Petitioner has not opposed the Motions.
`Upon of review of the record before us, we determine that the requirements
`of 37 C.F.R. § 42.10 have been met and there is good cause to admit Mr.
`Wallenberg pro hac vice.
`It is, therefore,
`ORDERED that Patent Owner’s Motions for Pro Hac Vice admission of
`Kyle D. Wallenberg are granted;
`FURTHER ORDERED that Mr. Wallenberg is authorized to act as back-up
`counsel in the instant proceedings only;
`FURTHER ORDERED that Patent Owner is to continue to have a registered
`practitioner represent it as lead counsel for the instant proceedings;
`FURTHER ORDERED that Mr. Wallenberg 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. Wallenberg 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.
