`37 C.F.R. § 42.10 – STATEMENT OF RELIEF REQUESTED
`
`Case IPR2016-00980 of
`U.S. Patent No. 7,378,992
`
`
`I.
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(e), Petitioner parties respectfully request that
`
`two of the currently named back-up counsel (those specifically representing
`
`Petitioners SAP America, Inc. and Sybase, Inc.), be allowed to withdraw as backup
`
`counsel in this inter partes review proceeding.
`
`Petitioner has conferred with Patent Owner, who does not oppose this
`
`motion.
`
`II.
`
`STATEMENT OF FACTS
`SUPPORTING WITHDRAWAL OF COUNSEL
`
`On October 6, 2016, the undersigned counsel contacted the Board by email
`
`seeking permission to file this motion. On October 11, 2016, the Board responded
`
`by email with authorization.
`
`Patent Owner and SAP America, Inc. and Sybase have reached a settlement
`
`of their disputes concerning the subject patent and, concurrently with this motion,
`
`have filed a motion to be removed from this proceeding. John Vandenberg and
`
`Garth Winn, two of the backup counsel in this proceeding, specifically represent
`
`SAP and Sybase. Since the parties represented by Messrs. Vandenberg and Winn
`
`no longer have an interest in this proceeding, it is appropriate to allow them to
`
`withdraw as backup counsel.
`
`The currently named lead counsel and several other backup counsel will
`
`remain in this proceeding. As a result, it is believed that granting this Motion will
