`
`I. DISCUSSION
`
`Intellectual Ventures I LLC, the exclusive licensee for Patent Owner
`(“Exclusive Licensee”), has filed an authorized motion to withdraw its
`current lead counsel and to substitute counsel.1 Paper 39. Lori A. Gordon
`(Registration No. 50,633), current lead counsel for Exclusive Licensee and
`Patent Owner, is no longer associated with the law firm Sterne Kessler
`Goldstein & Fox, P.L.L.C. (Customer No. 26111), to whom Patent Owner
`granted power of attorney. Papers 18 and 19. The motion indicates that
`Petitioner does not oppose the motion to withdraw. Paper 39, 1. The motion
`also indicates that current backup counsel, Byron L. Pickard (Registration
`No. 65,172), also of Sterne Kessler Goldstein & Fox, P.L.L.C. and named in
`the power of attorney (Paper 19, 1), will assume the role of lead counsel
`(Paper 39, 1). Thus, Exclusive Licensee and Patent Owner will be
`represented by lead counsel, who is a registered patent attorney, after
`withdrawal of its current lead counsel.
`Pursuant to the Trial Hearing Order, we remind the parties that:
`The Board expects lead counsel for each party to be
`present in person at oral argument. If a party anticipates that its
`lead counsel will not be attending oral argument, the parties
`should request a joint telephone conference with the Board no
`later than seven (7) business days prior to the oral argument to
`discuss the matter.
`Paper 36, 4.
`On the basis of the foregoing, the motion is granted.
`
`
`1 Although the Exclusive Licensee filed this motion pursuant to 37 C.F.R.
`§ 11.116, the motion is properly pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(e). See
`Office Trial Practice Guide, 77 Fed. Reg. 48756, 48758, 48759 (Aug. 14,
`2012).
