`
`
`
`LKQ Corporation and Keystone Automotive Industries, Inc.
`(collectively “Petitioner”) filed a Motion for Admission Pro Hac Vice of Mr.
`Iftekhar A. Zaim under 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(c) in the above-captioned
`proceeding. Paper 17. The Motion was previously authorized by the Notice
`of Filing Date. Paper 3, 2. Petitioner’s Motion is accompanied by a
`Declaration executed by Mr. Zaim. Ex. 1020. Petitioner’s Motion states
`that Patent Owner “does not oppose this motion.” Paper 17, 1.
`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. A motion for pro
`hac vice admission must contain a statement of facts showing there is good
`cause for us to recognize counsel pro hac vice during the proceeding and be
`accompanied by an affidavit or declaration of the individual seeking to
`appear. See Paper 3, 2 (citing Unified Patents, Inc. v. Parallel Iron, LLC,
`IPR2013-00639, slip op. at 3–4 (PTAB Oct. 15, 2013) (Paper 7) (setting
`forth the requirements 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 that there is good
`cause to admit Mr. Zaim pro hac vice.
`It is, therefore,
`ORDERED that the Motion for Admission Pro Hac Vice of Iftekhar
`A. Zaim is granted;
`FURTHER ORDERED that Petitioner is to continue to have a
`registered practitioner as lead counsel in this proceeding, but Mr. Zaim is
`authorized to be designated as backup counsel;
`
`
`
`PGR2020-00055
`Patent D855,508 S
`
`
`
`FURTHER ORDERED that Petitioner must submit, within ten (10)
`business days of this order, a Power of Attorney for Mr. Zaim in accordance
`with 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(b);
`FURTHER ORDERED that Petitioner shall file updated mandatory
`notices, pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.8(b)(3), providing updated information
`regarding back-up counsel;
`FURTHER ORDERED that Mr. Zaim shall comply with the Office
`Patent Trial Practice Guide, as updated by the Consolidated Office Patent
`Trial Practice Guide (84 Fed. Reg. 64,280 (Nov. 21, 2019)) and the Board’s
`Rules of Practice for Trials, as set forth in Part 42 of Title 37, Code of
`Federal Regulations; and
`FURTHER ORDERED that Mr. Zaim is subject to the USPTO’s
`Rules of Professional Conduct set forth in 37 C.F.R. §§ 11.101 et seq. and to
`the USPTO’s disciplinary jurisdiction under 37 C.F.R. § 11.19(a).
