`37 C.F.R. §42.10 – STATEMENT OF RELIEF REQUESTED
`
`I.
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.10, Patent Owner Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson
`
`(“Ericsson”) respectfully requests that the Board withdraw J. Andrew Lowes and
`
`Clint Wilkins of Haynes and Boone, LLP as its counsel and permit substitution of
`
`new counsel.
`
`II. STATEMENT SHOWING GOOD CAUSE FOR THE BOARD TO
`AUTHORIZE WITHDRAWAL AND SUBSTITUTION OF COUNSEL
`
`Patent Owner requests that the current designated lead and back-up counsel,
`
`J. Andrew Lowes and Clint Wilkins, Haynes and Boone, LLP, be deemed
`
`withdrawn from the present proceeding. To the extent not already filed, an
`
`Updated Mandatory Notice Under 37 C.F.R. § 42.8(a)(3) and Power of Attorney
`
`will be filed promptly to reflect new counsel from Noroozi PC. All Haynes and
`
`Boone, LLP counsel will be withdrawn from the present proceeding and counsel
`
`from Noroozi PC will be substituted as counsel to represent Patent Owner.
`
`Counsel meets the requirements of 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(c) and are registered
`
`practitioners. Counsel has conferred with current counsel and reasonable steps
`
`have been taken to “avoid foreseeable prejudice to the rights of the client,
`
`including giving due notice to his or her client, [and] allowing time for
`
`employment of another practitioner.” 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

`
`verifies that no extensions of time will be sought based on substitution of counsel.

`Patent Owner respectfully requests that the Board grant its motion for
`
`withdrawal of counsel and permit substitution of new counsel.
