`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(e), Sony Corporation, Sony Electronics Inc.,
`
`Sony Mobile Communications AB, and Sony Mobile Communications (USA) Inc.
`
`(collectively, “Sony Petitioners”) hereby move to withdraw Lewis V. Popovski
`
`(Reg. No. 37,423) and Michael Sander (Reg. No. 71,667) as counsel in the Inter
`
`Partes Review of U.S. Patent No. 7,296,121. Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.20(b), the
`
`Board has granted authorization for the Sony Petitioners to file this motion. The
`
`other parties to this proceeding, including Patent Owner, do not oppose this
`
`motion.
`
`
`
`Under the Patent Office’s rules, “a practitioner shall not withdraw from
`
`employment until the practitioner has taken reasonable steps to avoid foreseeable
`
`prejudice to the rights of the client, including giving due notice to his or her client,
`
`allowing time for employment of another practitioner, delivering to the client all
`
`papers and property to which the client is entitled, and complying with applicable
`
`laws and rules.” 37 C.F.R. § 10.40(a). The Sony Petitioners move to withdraw
`
`Mr. Popovski and Mr. Sander because these individuals are no longer associated
`
`with Kenyon & Kenyon LLP, the firm which represents the Sony Petitioners in this
`
`action. Kenyon & Kenyon LLP has retained all relevant papers and property
`
`necessary to continue representation of the Sony Petitioners in this action.
`
`Furthermore, the Sony Petitioners are concurrently submitting updated mandatory
`
`notices pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.8(b)(3) identifying Walter E. Hanley, Jr. (Reg.

`
`
`
`Patent No. 7,296,121
`

`
`
`No. 28,720) and Zaed M. Billah (Reg. No. 71,218) as back-up counsel. The Sony
`
`Petitioners acknowledge that W. Karl Renner (Reg. No. 41,265) (counsel for Apple
`
`Inc., HTC Corporation, HTC America, Inc., Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd.,
`
`Samsung Electronics America, Inc., and Amazon.com, Inc.) has been designated as
`
`lead counsel for Petitioners this proceeding. As the Sony Petitioners will
`
`adequately be represented in this action by other practitioners, the Sony Petitioners
`
`will not be prejudiced by the withdrawal of Mr. Popovski and Mr. Sander.

`Respectfully submitted,
