`
`
`PATENT OWNER’S UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR
`COUNSEL TO WITHDRAW
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Patent Owner Global Touch Solutions, LLC (“PO” herein) respectfully
`
`moves for withdrawal of its back-up counsel, Steven B. Kelber (“Kelber” herein),
`
`as counsel for PO in the above-captioned matter, pursuant to 37 C.F.R. §41.5(c).
`
`STATEMENT OF MATERIAL FACTS AND RELIEF REQUESTED
`
`As provided for in 37 C.F.R. §11.116(a)(3), withdrawal is required because
`
`the client, PO, has discharged Kelber and terminated its engagement with Kelber.
`
`Pursuant to the provisions of 37 C.F.R. §11.116(b)(1), withdrawal can be
`
`accomplished without material adverse effect – competent replacement counsel
`
`was designated as Lead Counsel on August 1, 2016, in Patent Owner’s Updated
`
`Mandatory Notices (Paper 37).
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. §11.116(c), PO requested permission from the Board
`
`to file this motion for counsel to withdraw on July 20, 2016, and on July 27, 2016,
`
`via email. The Board granted permission on July 28, 2016, via email.
`
`With respect to the requirements of 37 C.F.R. §11.116(d), Kelber has
`
`conferred with PO, and PO agrees that under the circumstances, withdrawal is
`
`appropriate and will not injure PO’s interests. Other counsel has been notified.
`
`Petitioners have indicated that they have no opposition to this motion.
`
`Therefore, PO respectfully requests that Kelber be withdrawn from further
`
`action in this matter.
