`IPR2020-00583 (Patent 7,606,983 B2)
`
`
`DISCUSSION
`Intel Corporation (“Petitioner”) filed a motion for pro hac vice
`admission of Mr. S. Calvin Walden in each of the above-captioned
`proceedings. Paper 14.2 Each motion is accompanied by a declaration from
`Mr. Walden. Ex. 1023.3 Each motion states that “Patent Owner indicates
`that it does not oppose this motion.” See, e.g., IPR2020-00582, Paper 14 at
`1.
`
`Having reviewed the motion and declaration4 in each proceeding, we
`conclude that Mr. Walden has sufficient qualifications to represent Petitioner
`in each proceeding and that Petitioner has shown good cause for pro hac
`vice admission of Mr. Walden. See Unified Patents, Inc. v. Parallel Iron,
`LLC, IPR2013-00639, Paper 7 (PTAB Oct. 15, 2013) (Order Authorizing
`Motion for Pro Hac Vice Admission) (setting forth the requirements for pro
`hac vice admission). Mr. Walden will be permitted to appear pro hac vice in
`each proceeding as back-up counsel only. See 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(c).
`
`ORDER
`
`It is:
`ORDERED that Petitioner’s motion for pro hac vice admission of
`Mr. S. Calvin Walden in each proceeding is granted, and Mr. Walden is
`authorized to represent Petitioner only as back-up counsel in each
`proceeding;
`
`
`2 The Motion is Paper 17 in IPR2020-00583.
`3 Mr. Walden’s Declaration is Exhibit 1023 in each proceeding.
`4 The Declaration refers to “part 42 of the C.F.R.,” which omits reference to
`Title 37. Ex. 1023 ¶ 15. We deem this harmless error.
