`I. RELIEF REQUESTED
`
`
`
`
` Case IPR2015-00321 of
`U.S. Patent No. 7,095,945
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(e), and as authorized by the Board in its Order
`
`dated March 16, 2015 (see 37 C.F.R. § 42.20(b)), counsel for Patent

`in this inter partes review proceeding in favor of appointment of new counsel for
`
`Patent Owner. Withdrawing counsel includes Cyrus A. Morton (lead counsel), J.

`
`STATEMENT OF REASONS FOR SUBSTITUTION OF COUNSEL
`
`Patent Owner wishes for new counsel, Michael B. Ray (Registration No.
`
`33,997), Lestin Kenton (Registration No. 72,314) and Michael D. Specht
`
`(Registration No. 54,463) of Sterne, Kessler, Goldstein & Fox, P.L.L.C., to be
`
`designated as lead and back-up counsel, respectively, and represent Patent Owner
`
`going forward in this proceeding. Patent Owner’s new counsel meet the
`
`requirements of 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(c) as registered practitioners.
`
`A decision on whether to institute this inter partes review has not yet issued,
`
`and no extensions of time will be needed upon grant of this Motion. Furthermore,
`
`
`
`- 2 -
`
`
`
`
`
`
`it is believed that granting this Motion will not hinder the economy, the integrity of
`
` Case IPR2015-00321 of
`U.S. Patent No. 7,095,945
`
`
`
`
`the patent system, the efficient administration of the Office, or the ability of the
`
`Office to timely complete this proceeding. See 35 U.S.C. § 316(b).
`
`An executed updated Power of Attorney is being filed concurrently.
`
`Updated Mandatory Notices Under 37 C.F.R. §42.8(b)(3) and (b)(4) will be
`
`filed upon grant of the present motion.
