`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Case IPR2017-01306
`Patent 8,775,661 B2
`
`
`Petitioner, Akamai Technologies, Inc., moves for admission pro hac
`
`vice of Jordan Hirsch. Paper 16. Petitioner filed a supporting declaration of
`
`Mr. Hirsch. Ex. 1010.
`
`Patent Owner, Limelight Networks, Inc., moves for admission pro hac
`
`vice of Stephen Ullmer. Paper 17. Patent Owner filed a supporting
`
`declaration of Mr. Ullmer. Ex. 2006.
`
`Neither party opposes the other’s motion.
`
`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
`
`condition that lead counsel be a registered practitioner. In authorizing
`
`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
`
`proceeding.
`
`Upon review of the motions and supporting evidence, we determine
`
`that the parties have demonstrated, in their respective motions, that Jordan
`
`Hirsch and Stephen M. Ullmer have sufficient legal and technical
`
`qualifications to represent Petitioner and Patent Owner, respectively, in this
`
`proceeding. We also recognize the need to have them involved as backup
`
`counsel. Accordingly, the parties have established good cause for admitting
`
`Jordan Hirsch and Stephen M. Ullmer.
`
`It is
`
`ORDERED that Petitioner’s Unopposed Motion for Admission Pro
`
`Hac Vice of Jordan Hirsch is granted;

`Pro Hac Vice Admission of Stephen M. Ullmer Under 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(c)
`
`is granted;
`
`FURTHER ORDERED that Petitioner and Patent Owner are each to
`
`continue to have a registered practitioner represent it as lead counsel for the
`
`proceedings; and
`

`
`to comply with the Office Patent Trial Practice Guide and the Board’s Rules
