`
`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

`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

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