`
`I. DISCUSSION
`Motion for Pro Hac Vice Admission
`Petitioner entities Campbell Soup Company and Campbell Sales
`Company (collectively, “Campbell”) filed a Motion for Tracy Zurzolo
`Quinn to Appear Pro Hac Vice (“Motion”) in each of the above-captioned
`proceedings. Paper 22, “Mot.”2 Campbell indicates that Patent Owner
`Gamon Plus, Inc. would not oppose the Motion. Id. at 4. Campbell also
`filed a Declaration of Tracy Zurzolo Quinn in Support of Motion for
`Admission Pro Hac Vice. Ex. 1064 (referred to as “Exhibit A” in the
`Motion).
`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 and to any other conditions as the Board may
`impose.” 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(c). In authorizing motions for pro hac vice
`admission, we require the moving party to provide a statement of facts
`showing that there is good cause for us to recognize counsel pro hac vice
`and an affidavit or declaration of the individual seeking to appear. Paper 22,
`2 (referencing IPR2013-00639, Paper 7).
`Campbell’s Motion and Ms. Quinn’s Declaration show sufficiently
`good cause for us to recognize her as counsel pro hac vice.

`counsel for Petitioner entities Campbell Soup Company and Campbell Sales
`Company (collectively, “Campbell”) in each of the above-captioned
`proceedings. Paper 24. The Motions state that Campbell has retained new
`counsel, Reed Smith, to act on Campbell’s behalf in each of these inter
`partes review proceedings. Id. at 2.
`The Motions indicate that new counsel will be in charge of filing
`Petitioner’s Reply and making Petitioner’s arguments in each of these
