`
`
`Petitioner filed a Motion for Pro Hac Vice Admission of Dana O.
`Burwell in this proceeding. Paper 57 (“Motion” or “Mot.”). The Motion is
`unopposed. The Motion is granted.
`In its Motion, Petitioner states that there is good cause for the Board
`to recognize Mr. Burwell during this proceeding because Mr. Burwell “is an
`experienced litigator and has an established familiarity with the subject
`matter at issue in this proceeding.” Mot. 1. A Declaration made by Mr.
`Burwell attests to and sufficiently explains these facts. Ex. 1029. In
`addition, Mr. Burwell acknowledges his understanding that he will be
`subject to the USPTO Rules of Professional Conduct set forth in 37 C.F.R.
`§§ 11.101 et seq. and to disciplinary jurisdiction under 37 C.F.R. § 11.19(a).
`Id. at 2.
`Upon consideration, Petitioner has demonstrated sufficiently that Mr.
`Burwell has sufficient legal and technical qualifications to represent
`Petitioner in this proceeding.
`
`It is
`ORDERED that Petitioner’s unopposed motion for pro hac vice
`admission of Dana O. Burwell is granted; Mr. Burwell is authorized to
`represent Petitioner only as back-up counsel in the instant proceeding;
`FURTHER ORDERED that Petitioner is to continue to have a
`registered practitioner represent it as lead counsel for the instant proceeding;
`FURTHER ORDERED that Mr. Burwell 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
`
`
`
`IPR2017-00429
`Patent 6,775,745
`
`
`FURTHER ORDERED that Mr. Burwell 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.
