`Patent 7,585,140 B1
`
`
`Patent Owner, Cottrell, Inc. (“Cottrell”), filed a Motion for Pro Hac
`Vice Admission of Kyle M. Amborn (Paper 12) (the “Motion”). Cottrell
`also filed the Declaration of Mr. Amborn in support of the Motion. Ex. 2001
`(the “Declaration”). Cottrell’s lead counsel, Ryan J. McBrayer, is a
`registered practitioner. Paper 12, 1. The Motion and Declaration establish
`that Mr. Amborn is an experienced litigating attorney, has familiarity with
`the subject matter at issue in this proceeding, and otherwise satisfies all
`requirements for pro hac vice admission to a proceeding before the Board.
`See Paper 12; Ex. 2001. Petitioner, Boydstun Equipment Manufacturing,
`LLC, does not oppose the Motion. Paper 12, 1.
`After considering Cottrell’s Motion and the Declaration, it is
`ORDERED that Cottrell’s Motion for pro hac vice admission of Kyle
`M. Amborn is granted;
`FURTHER ORDERED that Cottrell is to continue to have a registered
`practitioner as lead counsel in the instant proceedings, but Mr. Amborn is
`authorized to be designated as backup counsel; and
`FURTHER ORDERED that Mr. Amborn is to comply with the Office
`Patent Trial Practice Guide and the Board’s Rules of Practice for Trials, as
`set forth in Title 37, Part 42 of the C.F.R., and is subject to the USPTO’s
`disciplinary jurisdiction under 37 C.F.R. § 11.19(a) and the USPTO Rules of
`Professional Conduct as set forth in 37 C.F.R. §§ 11.101 et seq.
