`ORDER
`Pro Hac Vice Admission of Mr. Andrew J. Bramhall
`37 C.F.R. § 42.10(c)
`
`
`
`
`1 This Order addresses issues that are identical in both proceedings. We
`exercise our discretion to issue one Order to be filed in each proceeding.
`The Parties, however, are not authorized to use this style heading in any
`subsequent papers.

`

`
`
`IPR2017-01389 (Patent 6,896,959 B2)
`IPR2017-01390 (Patent 7,115,331 B2)
`
`
`
`Patent Owner filed a Motion for pro hac vice admission of
`Andrew J. Bramhall in each of the above-identified proceedings
`(collectively “Motions”). Paper 19.2 The Motions are supported by
`Declarations of Mr. Bramhall (collectively “Declarations”). Paper 19, 4–5.3
`Patent Owner indicates that Petitioner does not oppose the pro hac vice
`admission of Mr. Bramhall. Paper 19, 2. We note that Powers of Attorney
`in accordance with 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(b) have not been submitted for
`Mr. Bramhall.
`Having reviewed the Motions and supporting Declarations, we
`determine that good cause exists for granting admission pro hac vice to Mr.
`Bramhall.
`
`Accordingly, it is:
`ORDERED that Patent Owner’s Motions for pro hac vice admission
`of Mr. Bramhall are granted; Mr. Bramhall is authorized to represent Patent
`Owner only as back-up counsel in the instant proceedings;
`FURTHER ORDERED that Patent Owner is to continue to have a
`registered practitioner represent it as lead counsel for the instant
`proceedings;
`
`
`2 For purposes of expediency, we cite to the paper filed in IPR2017-01389.
`A similar paper was filed in IPR2017-01390. See Paper 19.
`3 Patent Owner filed the Declarations as part of the Motions (Paper 19, 4–5)
`in the Patent Trial and Appeal Board End to End (PTAB E2E) system. The
`parties are reminded that affidavits and declarations must be filed as
`exhibits, so they may be referenced individually by exhibit number. See
`37 C.F.R. § 42.63.

`Trials, as set forth in Part 42 of Title 37, Code of Federal Regulations;
`FURTHER ORDERED that Mr. Bramhall 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.;

`of the date of this Order, submit Powers of Attorney identifying
`Mr. Bramhall in accordance with 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(b); and
`FURTHER ORDERED that Patent Owner shall, within seven (7) days
`of the date of this Order, file updated mandatory notices identifying
`Mr. Bramhall as back-up counsel in accordance with 37 C.F.R. § 42.8(b)(3).
