`
`
`On July 28, 2022, pursuant to our authorization via email, Patent
`
`Owner filed a Motion to withdraw Andrew Kopsidas as back-up counsel in
`
`each of the proceedings captioned above. Paper 21 (“Motion”).3 The
`
`Motion indicates that Mr. Kopsidas “left the firm Fish & Richardson, P.C.,
`
`and no longer represents the Patent Owner.” Id. at 1. Patent Owner
`
`represents that Petitioner does not oppose the Motion. Id. We note that
`
`Patent Owner’s mandatory notices designate other back-up counsel that
`
`would remain after the requested withdrawal of Mr. Kopsidas. Paper 4, 1.
`
`Counsel may withdraw from an inter partes review proceeding only
`
`with Board authorization. 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(e). Under these circumstances,
`
`we grant Patent Owner’s Motion.
`
`Accordingly, it is:
`
`ORDERED that Patent Owner’s Motion to withdraw counsel in each
`
`of the above-captioned proceedings is granted;
`
`FURTHER ORDERED that Andrew Kopsidas is withdrawn as
`
`counsel for Patent Owner in each of the above-captioned proceedings; and
`
`FURTHER ORDERED that Patent Owner must file updated
`
`mandatory notices in each of the above-captioned proceedings in accordance
`
`with 37 C.F.R. § 42.8.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`3 For efficiency, we cite to the record from IPR2021-01127, unless otherwise
`indicated. Patent Owner filed a similar motion in IPR2021-01166 and
`IPR2021-01167.
