`
`RELIEF REQUESTED
`As authorized by the Board’s email of July 22, 2022, Patent Owner
`
`respectfully requests that the Board authorize the withdrawal of Andrew Kopsidas
`
`as Back Up Counsel of record in this proceeding1. Counsel for Petitioner has
`
`indicated that Petitioner does not oppose this motion.
`
`II.
`
`SHOWING OF GOOD CAUSE
`On July 15, 2021 Patent Owner filed its Mandatory Notices listing Andrew
`
`Kopsidas as Back Up Counsel of record in this proceeding (Paper 3). Mr.
`
`Kopsidas has since left the firm Fish & Richardson, P.C., and no longer represents
`
`the Patent Owner. Therefore, Patent Owner respectfully submits that good cause
`
`exists for the withdrawal of Mr. Kopsidas as backup counsel in this proceeding.
`
`Counsel for Patent Owner respectfully requests that Mr. Kopsidas be
`
`permitted to withdraw as counsel of record in this proceeding. The withdrawal of
`
`backup counsel will not cause any material prejudice to any party or any delay in
`
`this proceeding. See 35 U.S.C. § 316(b).
`
`
`
`
`
`
`1 Mr. Kopsidas is listed as Back Up Counsel of record in IPR2021-01165,
`
`IPR2021-01166, IPR2021-01167, IPR2021-01127 and IPR2021-01116. Similar
`
`motions are being filed in each proceeding.
`
`1
`
`
`
`Case No. IPR2021-01166

`Patent Owner will file an Updated Mandatory Notice within the timeframe
`
`set by the Board.
`
`III. CONCLUSION

`
`authorize the withdrawal of Andrew Kopsidas as counsel.
