`Motions. Id. Patent Owner provides Declarations from Ms. Nowierski in
`support of its Motions. See, e.g., IPR2017-02028, Ex. 2101.
`Based on the facts set forth in the Motions and the accompanying
`Declarations from Ms. Nowierski, we conclude that Ms. Nowierski has
`sufficient legal and technical qualifications to represent Patent Owner in
`these cases, that Ms. Nowierski has demonstrated the necessary familiarity
`with the subject matter of these cases, and that there is a need for Patent
`Owner to have counsel with experience as a litigation attorney in patent
`matters involved in these cases. Accordingly, Patent Owner has established
`good cause for Ms. Nowierski’s pro hac vice admission. Ms. Nowierski will
`be permitted to appear pro hac vice in these cases as back-up counsel only.
`See 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(c).
`For the foregoing reasons, it is hereby:
`ORDERED that Patent Owner’s Motions for pro hac vice admission
`of Ms. Lauren M. Nowierski (IPR2017-02028, Paper 6; IPR2017-02030,
`Paper 6; IPR2017-02039, Paper 6); IPR2017-02043, Paper 6 are granted;
`Ms. Nowierski is authorized to act as back-up counsel in these cases only;
`FURTHER ORDERED that Patent Owner continue to have a
`registered practitioner as lead counsel in these cases;
