`
`
`On August 28, 2018, Patent Owner filed an “Unopposed Motion for
`
`Pro Hac Vice Admission of Mr. Stephen A. Marshall” (Paper 22), supported
`
`by a Declaration of Mr. Marshall (Ex. 2016). Patent Owner represents that
`
`Petitioner does not oppose the Motion. Paper 22, 3.
`
`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
`
`proceedings. I have reviewed Mr. Marshall’s declaration and the unopposed
`
`motion, and determine that good cause is shown.
`
`Accordingly, it is:
`
`ORDERED that Patent Owner’s Motion for Pro Hac Vice Admission
`
`of Mr. Marshall is granted; Mr. Marshall is authorized to represent Patent
`
`Owner only as back-up counsel in the above-identified proceeding;
`
`FURTHER ORDERED that Patent Owner shall within 10 business
`
`days file a Power of Attorney for Mr. Marshall pursuant to 37 C.F.R.
`
`§ 42.10, and shall file an updated Mandatory Notice identifying Mr.
`
`Marshall as back-up counsel in accordance with 37 C.F.R. § 42.8(b)(3).
`
`FURTHER ORDERED that Patent Owner is to continue to have a
`
`registered practitioner as lead counsel in this proceeding;
`
`FURTHER ORDERED that Mr. Marshall is to 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 as
