`I. Relief Requested
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.10, Exclusive Licensee Edgewell Personal Care
`
`Brands, LLC requests that the Board admit Jason C. Kravitz pro hac vice in this
`
`proceeding, IPR2017-00694.
`
`II. Authorization for This Motion
`
`
`
`This motion was authorized pursuant to the Board’s Notice of Filing Date
`
`Accorded to Petition (Paper No. 3, February 2, 2017).
`
`III. Statement of Facts Showing Good Cause for the Board to Recognize
`Counsel Pro Hac Vice During the Proceeding
`
`In accordance with 37 C.F.R. § 42.10 and the Board’s February 2, 2017
`
`Notice of Filing Date (citing “Order -- Authorizing Motion for Pro Hac Vice
`
`Admission” in Case IPR2013-00639, Paper 7), the Board 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. Section § 42.10(c) indicates that, “where the lead
`
`counsel is a registered practitioner, a motion to appear pro hac vice by counsel who
`
`is not a registered practitioner may be granted upon a showing that counsel is an
`
`experienced litigating attorney and has an established familiarity with the subject
`
`matter at issue in the proceeding.” The facts here establish good cause for the
`
`Board to recognize Jason C. Kravitz pro hac vice during the proceeding.
