`IPR2017-00477
`Patent 8,387,132 B2
`
`
`Patent Owner moves to withdraw Lori A. Gordon as back-up counsel
`because she “is no longer associated with the law firm STERNE, KESSLER,
`GOLDSTEIN & FOX, P.L.L.C.” Paper 30. Petitioner does not oppose the
`Motion. Id.
`Our Rules provide that “[c]ounsel may not withdraw from a
`proceeding before the Board unless the Board authorizes such withdrawal.”
`37 C.F.R. § 42.10(e). In this proceeding, Patent Owner has designated
`additional individuals as back-up counsel (Paper 7, 1–2), and, therefore,
`Patent Owner will continue to have lead and back-up counsel following
`withdrawal of Ms. Gordon as required by our Rules. See 37 C.F.R.
`§ 42.10(a) (“If a party is represented by counsel, the party must designate a
`lead counsel and at least one back-up counsel who can conduct business on
`behalf of the lead counsel.”). Accordingly, we grant Patent Owner’s
`Motion.
`It is
`ORDERED that Lori A. Gordon is no longer recognized as counsel in
`this proceeding; and
`FURTHER ORDERED that Patent Owner shall file updated
`mandatory notices removing Ms. Gordon as back-up counsel.
