`I.
`
`37 C.F.R. § 42.10 – STATEMENT OF RELIEF REQUESTED
`
`Petitioners respectfully request that the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (the
`
`“Board”) hereby permit David Saunders, back-up counsel of record, to withdraw
`
`from this action. Concurrently, Petitioners shall designate Mr. Richard Zhang as
`
`back-up counsel.
`
`II.
`
`STATEMENT OF FACTS SUPPORTING WITHDRAWAL
`OF COUNSEL
`
`On August 7, 2017, Petitioners’ counsel contacted the Board by email
`
`seeking permission to file this motion. On August 8, 2017, the Board responded
`
`by email with authorization to file this Motion to Withdraw.
`
`Mr. Saunders has accepted an in-house position at Immersion Corporation.
`
`As such, he is transitioning out of Fisch Sigler LLP, and Petitioners hereby move
`
`to withdraw him as a counsel of record in this matter.
`
`37 C.F.R. § 42.10(a) requires each party to designate a lead counsel and at
`
`least one back-up counsel who can conduct business on behalf of the lead counsel.
`
`If Mr. Saunders were permitted to withdraw, Petitioners retain lead counsel and at
`
`least one back-up counsel in this proceeding:
