`
`
`DECISION
`Granting Petitioner’s Motion for
`Pro Hac Vice Admission of Joseph Evall
`37 C.F.R. § 42.10(c)
`
`
`
`1This decision addresses issues common to both proceedings, therefore, we
`issue a single decision that is entered in both case files. For convenience, we
`refer to papers filed in IPR2017-01506.
`
`
`
`IPR2017-01506 (Patent 7,608,436 B2)
`IPR2017-01507 (Patent 8,057,840 B2)
`
`
`On September 18, 2017, Petitioner filed a motion for pro hac vice
`
`admission of Joseph Evall (Paper 9) supported by a declaration of Mr. Evall
`
`(Exhibit 1039). No opposition was filed by Patent Owner. See Paper 5, 2
`
`(citing Unified Patents, Inc. v. Parallel Iron, LLC, Case IPR2013-00639
`
`(PTAB Oct. 15, 2013) (Paper 7) (setting a one week time period for filing an
`
`opposition to a motion for pro hac vice admission)). Based on our review of
`
`Petitioner’s motion and Mr. Evall’s declaration, we determine that Petitioner
`
`establishes “good cause” for the admission.
`
`It is:
`
`ORDERED that Petitioner’s motion for pro hac vice admission of
`
`Mr. Evall is granted; Mr. Evall is authorized to represent Petitioner only as
`
`back-up counsel in the instant proceedings;
`
`FURTHER ORDERED that Petitioner is to continue to have a
`
`registered practitioner represent it as lead counsel in the instant proceedings;
`
`FURTHER ORDERED that Mr. Evall shall comply with the Office
`
`Patent Trial Practice Guide and the Board’s Rules of Practice for Trials, as
`
`set forth in Part 42 of Title 37, Code of Federal Regulations; and
`
`FURTHER ORDERED that Mr. Evall shall 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.
