`
`ORDER
`Petitioner’s Unopposed Motion for Admission Pro Hac Vice of
`Austin Zuck
`37 C.F.R. § 42.10
`
`
`
`
`IPR2018-01151
`Patent 7,537,662 B2
`
`
`On June 13, 2019, Petitioner filed a Motion for Admission Pro Hac
`Vice of Austin Zuck. Paper 29 (“Motion”). The Motion is supported by a
`Declaration of Mr. Zuck. Ex. 1028. Petitioner represents that Patent Owner
`does not oppose the Motion. Paper 29, 3.
`Upon review of the record before us, we determine that the
`requirements of 37 C.F.R. § 42.10 have been met and there is good cause to
`admit Mr. Zuck pro hac vice.
`It is
`ORDERED that Petitioner’s unopposed motion for pro hac vice
`admission of Mr. Zuck is conditionally granted, provided that within ten
`(10) business days of the date of this order, Petitioner must submit a Power
`of Attorney for Mr. Zuck in accordance with 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(b);
`FURTHER ORDERED that Mr. Zuck is authorized to represent
`Petitioner only as back-up counsel in the instant proceeding;
`FURTHER ORDERED that Petitioner must file an updated
`mandatory notice identifying Mr. Zuck as back-up counsel in accordance
`with 37 C.F.R. § 42.8(b)(3);
`FURTHER ORDERED that Petitioner is to continue to have a
`registered practitioner represent it as lead counsel for the instant proceeding;
`FURTHER ORDERED that Mr. Zuck is to comply with the Office
`Patent Trial Practice Guide, including the August 2018 Update, 83 Fed. Reg.
`39,989 (Aug. 13, 2018), and the Board’s Rules of Practice for Trials, as set
`forth in Part 42 of Title 37, Code of Federal Regulations; and
`
`
`
`
`2
`
`
`
`IPR2018-01151
`Patent 7,537,662 B2
`
`
`FURTHER ORDERED that Mr. Zuck 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.1
`
`
`1 Mr. Zuck declares he will be “subject to the USPTO Code of Professional
`Responsibility set forth in 37 C.F.R. § 10.20 et seq.,” rather than the USPTO
`Rules of Professional Conduct set forth in 37 C.F.R. §§ 11.101 et seq. Ex.
`1028 ¶ 9. We deem this to be harmless error.
