`Patent 7,296,121 B2
`
`
`
`
`
`
`On October 19, 2015, Petitioners Sony Corp., Sony Electronics Inc.,
`Sony Mobile Communications AB, and Sony Mobile Communications
`(USA) Inc. (collectively, “Sony Petitioners”) filed a motion to withdraw
`counsel. Paper 36 (“Mot.”). The Motion seeks withdrawal of Lewis V.
`Popovski and Michael Sander as counsel in this proceeding. Id. at 1. Along
`with the Motion, Sony Petitioners filed updated mandatory notices, which
`identify Walter E. Hanley, Jr. and Zaed M. Billah as new back-up counsel
`for Sony Petitioners in this proceeding. Paper 35. No opposition has been
`filed, and Sony Petitioners indicate in the Motion that the other parties in
`this proceeding do not oppose the Motion. Mot. 1.
`In the Motion, Sony Petitioners seek to “withdraw Mr. Popovski and
`Mr. Sander because these individuals are no longer associated with Kenyon
`& Kenyon LLP, the firm which represents . . . Sony Petitioners.” Id. Sony
`Petitioners assert that “Kenyon & Kenyon LLP has retained all relevant
`papers and property necessary to continue representation of . . . Sony
`Petitioners.” Id. Sony Petitioners’ updated mandatory notices indicate that
`the new back-up counsel—Mr. Hanley and Mr. Billah—are associated with
`Kenyon & Kenyon LLP and are registered to practice before the U.S. Patent
`& Trademark Office. Paper 35, 1. Having considered the Motion, we are
`persuaded that withdrawal of Mr. Popovski and Mr. Sander is warranted.
`ORDER
`
`Accordingly, it is:
`ORDERED that Sony Petitioners’ Motion to Withdraw Counsel
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(e) (Paper 36) is granted;
`FURTHER ORDERED that Lewis V. Popovski and Michael Sander
`
`are permitted to withdraw as counsel in this proceeding; and
`

`
`
`
`

`
`Patent 7,296,121 B2
`
`FURTHER ORDERED that Walter E. Hanley, Jr. and Zaed M. Billah
`are recognized as back-up counsel for Sony Petitioners in this proceeding.
