`
`Patent Owner filed Patent Owner’s Motions for Withdrawal and
`
`Substitution of Counsel in each of the above-identified proceedings. See,
`e.g., IPR2018-01245, Paper 9 (“Motion”). 2 The Motion requests withdrawal
`of lead counsel Joseph M. Sauer, and backup counsel David B. Cochran,
`Matthew W. Johnson, David M. Maiorana, Joshua R. Nightingale, and
`Richard A. Gram, each of the Jones Day firm, and the substitution of new
`lead and backup counsel as identified in Patent Owner’s Updated Mandatory
`Notices (Paper 7) and Power of Attorney (Paper 8), pursuant to 37 C.F.R.
`§ 42.10. Motion 2. Patent Owner’s Updated Mandatory Notices identifies
`Chad Walters (Reg. No. 48,022) of Baker Botts LLP as substitute lead
`counsel and Charles Yeh, Brian W. Oaks, Eliot Williams, Joseph Akalski,
`and Jessica Lin, each of Baker Botts LLP, as substitute backup counsel.
`Paper 7, 2. Petitioner did not file an opposition.
`Counsel may withdraw from an inter partes review proceeding only
`with Board authorization. 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(e). Under these circumstances,
`the Board grants Patent Owner’s Motions.
