`
`
`
`On December 16, 2014 we authorized2 Patent Owner’s counsel to file
`
`a motion in each of the above-captioned cases requesting to withdraw and to
`
`enter the appearance of new lead (Michael T. Rosato) and backup counsel
`
`(Matthew A. Argenti), both of whom are registered patent attorneys.
`
`Counsel has now filed a motion3 in each of the above-captioned cases.
`
`Patent Owner indicates that no extension of time will be necessary as
`
`a result of the substitution of counsel. Updated Powers of Attorney and
`
`Mandatory Notices were filed concurrently with each motion.
`
`Petitioner indicates that it does not oppose the substitution.
`
`Given that each of the cases is in its preliminary stage and there is no
`
`opposition, each of Patent Owner’s motions is GRANTED.
