`IPR2020-00195 (Patent 6,844,990 B2)
`
`
`Counsel may withdraw from an inter partes review proceeding only
`with authorization from the Board. 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(e). In these
`proceedings, Bradford A. Cangro and Jeremy D. Peterson were designated
`as back-up counsel. IPR2020-00179, Paper 2, 3; IPR2020-00195, Paper 2,
`3. On January 20, 2021, Petitioner filed an Updated Mandatory Notice in
`each proceeding, explaining that Mr. Cangro and Mr. Peterson “no longer
`represent Petitioner in this proceeding and therefore should no longer be
`listed as back-up counsel.” IPR2020-00179, Paper 20; IPR2020-00195,
`Paper 20.
`On February 8, 2021, during the oral hearing, citing 37 C.F.R.
`§ 42.10(e), the Board informed Petitioner’s counsel that additional action
`was required to withdraw Mr. Cangro and Mr. Peterson as counsel.
`On February 9, 2021, by email, Petitioner “request[ed] authorization
`to withdraw Bradford Cangro and Jeremy Peterson as its counsel” in these
`proceedings.2 Ex. 3002. Petitioner further represents, as also set forth in the
`earlier-filed Papers 20, that “Mr. Cangro and Mr. Peterson are no longer
`associated with the law firm representing Petitioner, Morgan, Lewis &
`Bockius.” Id. Petitioner also represents that it “continues to be represented
`by Dion Bregman, Collin Park, Andrew Devkar, and [Alex Stein], all of
`Morgan, Lewis & Bockius.” Id. Petitioner also represents that Petitioner
`has “met and conferred with Patent Owner’s counsel concerning this request
`and Patent Owner’s counsel indicated that they do not oppose this request.”
`Id.
`
`
`2 With the Board’s direction given during the February 8, 2021, oral hearing,
`we deem that the February 9, 2021, email suffices as an authorized motion in
`this particular circumstance. 37 C.F.R. §§ 42.5(a)–(b).

`IPR2020-00195 (Patent 6,844,990 B2)
`
`
`Under these circumstances, we grant Petitioner’s unopposed motion to
`withdraw Mr. Cangro and Mr. Peterson as counsel.
`
`In consideration of the foregoing, it is:
`ORDERED that Petitioner’s motion is granted, and Mr. Cangro and
`Mr. Peterson are withdrawn as counsel from these proceedings.
