`
`
`Patent Owner, Cellular Communications Equipment LLC, filed a
`
`Motion for Admission Pro Hac Vice of Donald Puckett (Paper 6, “Motion,”
`
`or “Mot.”). The Motion was accompanied by a Declaration of Donald
`
`Puckett (Ex. 2001). The Motion represents that Petitioner does not oppose

`the Motion. Mot. 2.
`
`
`
`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 Patent Owner’s Motion and supporting evidence, we
`
`determine that Patent Owner has demonstrated that Donald Puckett has
`
`sufficient legal and technical qualifications to represent Patent Owner in the
`
`above-identified proceeding. We also recognize that there is a need for
`
`Patent Owner to have him involved in this proceeding.
`
`Accordingly, Patent Owner has established that there is good cause
`
`for admitting Donald Puckett.
`
`It is
`
`ORDERED that Patent Owner’s Motion for Pro Hac Vice Admission
`
`of Donald Puckett is granted; Mr. Puckett is authorized to represent Patent
`
`Owner as back-up counsel in the above-identified proceeding;
`
`FURTHER ORDERED that Patent Owner is to continue to have a
`
`registered practitioner represent it as lead counsel for the proceeding; and
`
`2
`
`
`
`Case IPR2016-01486

`
`Trials, as set forth in Part 42 of Title 37, Code of Federal Regulations, and to
`
`be subject to the Office’s disciplinary jurisdiction under 37 C.F.R.
