`Patent 8,023,580
`
`A telephone conference call was held on May 12, 2014, among Judges Lee,
`
`Blankenship, and Busch, and respective counsel for the parties. The subject matter
`discussed was a request by current counsel of Patent Owner, Sharon Fenick, Daniel
`H. Golub, and Brian P. Gordaychik, to file a motion to withdraw, on the basis that
`Patent Owner has decided to retain new counsel from Pepper Hamilton LLP.
`Counsel for Petitioner indicated that Petitioner would not oppose the motion.
`
`We authorized current counsel for Patent Owner to file a motion to
`withdraw, and to indicate in the motion that it is not opposed by Petitioner. We
`required, however, that there be no gap in the representation of Patent Owner.
`Therefore, we suggested that new attorneys be appointed and new lead and backup
`counsel be registered on the Board’s Patent Review Processing System (“PRPS”)
`first, before current counsel for Patent Owner file the motion to withdraw. Counsel
`for Patent Owner indicated agreement with that proposal.
`
`It is
`
`ORDERED that current counsel for Patent Owner are authorized to file a
`motion to withdraw, but only after new counsel for Patent Owner have been
`appointed and registered on PRPS as new lead and backup attorneys for Patent
`Owner.
