`Patent 5,796,183
`
`On May 18, 2017, Patent Owner filed a request for authorization to
`
`bring a motion allowing backup counsel to argue at oral argument in lieu of
`lead counsel. Paper 27. On the same day, Patent Owner filed the proposed
`motion itself. Paper 28.
`
`Our Rules provide, “A motion will not be entered without Board
`authorization.” 37 C.F.R. § 42.20(b). Further, “The Board may expunge any
`paper directed to a proceeding or filed while an application or patent is under
`the jurisdiction of the Board that is not authorized under this part or in a
`Board order or that is filed contrary to a Board order.” 37 C.F.R. § 42.7(a).
`Patent Owner filed its motion on the docket without our prior
`authorization. Pursuant to Sections 7(a) and 20 (b), we expunge the motion
`(Paper 28) and request for authorization (Paper 27). It is our ordinary
`practice and expectation that a party will seek authorization for motion via
`email to the Board. Nevertheless, in the interest of efficiency, we hereby
`authorize Patent Owner to refile its motion within seven days of entry of this
`Order.
`
`
`ORDER
`
`It is, therefore,
`ORDERED that Papers 27 and 28 are EXPUNGED, and
`FURTHER ORDERED that Patent Owner may refile its motion
`within seven (7) days of entry of this Order.
