`Board authorize withdrawal of its current lead counsel, Stephen Schaefer, Reg. No.
`
`37,927, formerly of Fish & Richardson, P.C.
`
`Patent Owner further requests that the Board authorize registered
`
`practitioner and current backup counsel Neil Warren, Reg. No. 63,582 of Fish &
`
`Richardson, P.C. to appear as lead counsel for Patent Owner in this proceeding.
`
`Patent Owner requests that the Board authorize the addition of John C.

`On September 1, 2016, Patent Owner filed a Power of Attorney designating
`
`the practitioners associated with Customer No. 26171 (Fish & Richardson, P.C.) as
`
`its counsel in this proceeding. (Paper No. 5.). Patent Owner identified Stephen
`
`Schaefer, Reg. No. 37,927 as its lead counsel and Neil Warren, Reg. No. 63,582 as
`
`back-up counsel in its Mandatory Notices (Paper No. 4).

`
`Case IPR2016-01600
`Attorney Docket No: 10256-0021IPC
`
`Lead counsel Stephen Schaefer, Reg. No. 37,927 has since left the firm Fish
`
`& Richardson, P.C. Therefore, Patent Owner respectfully submits that good cause
`
`exists for the withdrawal of Mr. Schaefer as its lead counsel in this proceeding.
`
`Patent Owner further requests that Mr. Warren be designated as its new lead
`
`counsel, Mr. Phillips be added as new first backup counsel and Mr. Pollack be
`
`added as backup counsel.
`
`In designating the Patent Owner’s chosen registered practitioner as new lead
`
`counsel, in maintaining Fish & Richardson P.C. as its counsel in this proceeding,
`
`adding Mr. Philips as first back-up counsel and in adding Mr. Pollack as backup
`
`counsel, reasonable steps have been taken to avoid foreseeable prejudice to the
`
`rights of the client. See 37 C.F.R. § 10.40(a). Further, Patent Owner believes that
`
`granting this motion will not hinder the economy, the integrity of 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).
`
`Petitioner has indicated that it does not oppose the requested withdrawal and
`
`substitution of counsel for Patent Owner. The Board authorized the filing of this
`
`motion via email on September 13, 2017.
