`Case IPR2021-00591
`Patent No. 7,868,880
`
`
`I. RELIEF REQUESTED
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. §42.10, Patent Owner’s Solas OLED Ltd. respectfully
`
`requests that the Board authorize withdrawal of Neil A. Rubin and Philip Wang
`
`and substitute Brett Cooper as its lead counsel and Antonio Papageorgiou as its
`
`back up counsel in this inter partes review proceeding.
`
`II. STATEMENT OF REASONS FOR WITHDRAWAL OF COUNSEL
`
`Patent Owner wishes to withdraw Neil A. Rubin (Reg. No. 67,030) as lead
`
`counsel and Philip Wang (Reg. No. 74,621) as back-up counsel, and substitute
`
`Brett Cooper (Reg. No. 55,085) of BC Law Group, P.C. (US), 200 Madison
`
`Avenue, 24th Floor, New York, NY 10016 as lead counsel and Antonio
`
`Papageorgiou (Reg. No. 53,431) of Lombard & Geliebter LLP (US), 230 Park
`
`Avenue, 4th Floor, New York, NY 10169 as back-up counsel in this proceeding.
`
`Neil A. Rubin and Philip Wang of Russ August & Kabat no longer represent Patent
`
`Owner. So, substitute lead and backup counsel is necessary. Patent Owner’s new
`
`lead and backup counsel meet the requirements of 37 C.F.R. §42.10(a) as
`
`registered practitioners. Patent Owner has executed a new Power of Attorney to
`
`appoint the above new counsel in this inter partes review proceeding. The Power
`
`of Attorney and Updated Mandatory Notices are being filed with the Patent Trial
`
`and Appeals Board concurrently herewith.

`
`
`III. THE MOTION IS NOT OPPOSED
`
`Petitioners do not oppose this Motion and no extension of time will be needed
`
`upon grant of this Motion.
`
`In addition, it is believed 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).
`
`IV. CONCLUSION
`
`Patent Owner respectfully requests that the Board grant its motion to authorize
`
`withdrawal of counsel and permit substitution of counsel.
