`
`DECISION GRANTING MOTION TO WITHDRAW AS COUNSEL AND
`SUBSTITUTE NEW COUNSEL
`37 C.F.R § 42.10
`
`
`
`
`
`Case IPR2014-01195
`Patent 7,787,431
`
`
`
`Patent Owner has filed a Motion to Withdraw as Counsel and Substitute
`
`New Counsel, in which Patent Owner states that its counsel Michael D. Specht,
`
`Lori A. Gordon, and other practitioners of PTO Customer No. 26111 are
`
`withdrawing from this matter and shall be substituted for by new counsel Herbert
`
`D. Hart III and Sharon A. Hwang of PTO Customer No. 23446. Paper 6; Paper 7.
`
`In accordance with 37 C.F.R. § 111, Patent Owner consents to the
`
`withdrawal of counsel Michael D. Specht, Lori A. Gordon, and other practitioners
`
`of PTO Customer No. 26111, as evidenced by Patent Owner’s filing of a new
`
`power of attorney (Paper 6), which revokes all previous powers of attorney and
`
`appoints registered practitioners of PTO Customer No. 23446. In view of the
`
`circumstances, Mr. Specht, Ms. Gordon, and other practitioners of PTO Customer
`
`No. 26111 have been discharged from this matter by Patent Owner, their
`
`withdrawal will not have a material adverse effect on the interests of Patent Owner,
`
`and good cause for withdrawal exists. See 37 C.F. R. § 111.
`
`In consideration of the above,
`
`it is ORDERED that the Patent Owner’s Motion to Withdraw as Counsel
`
`and Substitute New Counsel is GRANTED.
