`Patent 7,480,694 B2
`In this inter partes review, Brett J. Davis is currently designated as
`lead counsel for Patent Owner. Paper 7. On March 28, 2018, Mr. Davis, on
`behalf of Patent Owner, filed Patent Owner’s Unopposed Motion for
`Withdrawal and Substitution of Lead Counsel. Paper 21 (“Mot.”). Patent
`Owner requests that William B. Chadwick be appointed as lead counsel in
`place of Mr. Davis.1 Mot. 1.
`Counsel may withdraw from an inter partes review proceeding only
`with authorization from the Board. 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(e). Patent Owner
`indicates that there will be no prejudice to the client and the withdrawal and
`substitution of lead counsel will not affect the schedule and efficiency of this
`proceeding. Id. at 1–2. Patent Owner represents also that Petitioner does
`not object to withdrawal of Mr. Davis or the substitution of Mr. Chadwick.
`Id. at 2. We are aware of no prejudice to either party that would result from
`such withdrawal. Accordingly, we grant Patent Owner’s Motion.
` For the reasons given, it is
`ORDERED that Mr. Brett J. Davis is no longer recognized as counsel
`for Patent Owner in this proceeding; and
`FURTHER ORDERED that Mr. William B. Chadwick is recognized
`as lead counsel in this proceeding and that a respective updated mandatory
`notice be filed indicating the same.
`
`
`
`
`
`1 Patent Owner notes it its Mandatory Notice and Power of Attorney, Joseph
`Pia (pro hac vice to be filed). Papers 6–7. The Board has no record of a
`request for Mr. Pia to be admitted pro hac vice.
