`
`
`
`
`
`On May 22, 2018, Petitioner filed a Pro Hac Vice Motion to Admit Vickie
`L. Feeman in each of the above-referenced proceedings (collectively, “Motions”).
`IPR2017-01605 Paper 17.2 The Motions are supported by the Declarations of
`Ms. Feeman. IPR2017-01605 Paper 18.3 Petitioner represents in the Motions that
`Ms. Feeman is an experienced patent litigation attorney and that there is good
`cause for the Board to recognize Ms. Feeman pro hac vice. Paper 17, 5–6.
`Ms. Feeman represents that she has sufficient familiarity with the subject matter of
`this proceeding. Paper 18, 1. Petitioner represents that counsel for Patent Owner
`does not oppose the Motions. Paper 17, 6.
`In accordance with 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(c), we may recognize counsel pro hac
`vice during a proceeding upon a showing of good cause. In authorizing a motion
`for pro hac vice admission, the Board requires the moving party to provide a
`statement of facts showing there is good cause for the Board to recognize counsel
`pro hac vice and an affidavit or declaration of the individual seeking to appear in
`the proceeding. See Paper 3, 2 (citing Unified Patents, Inc. v. Parallel Iron, LLC,
`
`
`2 The Motions for Ms. Feeman that Petitioner filed in these proceedings are
`substantively the same. Accordingly, we refer to the papers filed in IPR2017-
`01605 unless otherwise noted.
`3 Petitioner filed the Declarations as Papers. Petitioner is reminded that affidavits
`and declarations must be filed as exhibits so that they may be referenced
`individually by exhibit number. See 37 C.F.R. § 42.63. Further, Exhibits should
`be given a title in PTAB-E2E more descriptive than the exhibit number (i.e.,
`Exhibit 1002, or Exhibit 2002). For example, Exhibit 1001 could have been titled
`“The ’253 patent,” or similar.

`
`Case IPR2013-00639 (PTAB Oct. 15, 2013) (Paper 7) (representative “Order –
`Authorizing Motion for Pro Hac Vice Admission”)).
`The Board has reviewed the submissions and determined that the
`requirements of 37 C.F.R. § 42.10 have been met and there is good cause to admit
`Ms. Feeman pro hac vice in these proceedings.
`
`It is, therefore,
`ORDERED that the Petitioner’s Motion seeking admission pro hac vice for
`Vickie L. Feeman in each of these proceedings is GRANTED;
`FURTHER ORDERED that Ms. Feeman is authorized to represent
`Petitioner as back-up counsel only, and that Petitioner is to continue to have a
`registered practitioner represent it as lead counsel;
`FURTHER ORDERED that Ms. Feeman 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 37 C.F.R.; and
`FURTHER ORDERED that Ms. Feeman 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., which took effect on
`May 3, 2013.
