`
`I, R. Scott Tewes, declare as follows:
`
`1.
`
`I am the founding member of the Tewes Law Group in Duluth, GA. I
`
`graduated with a B.S. in Mathematics Education, from Bob Jones University in
`
`1978, received a M.S. in Educational Administration, from Bob Jones University
`
`in 1980, and received a J.D. degree, from the University of South Carolina School
`
`of Law in 1983.
`
`2.
`
`I am a member in good standing of the South Carolina Bar, the State Bar of
`
`Georgia, and The District of Columbia Bar and am also admitted to practice in the
`
`United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and the Supreme Court of
`
`the United States. I am currently admitted to practice pro hac vice in the U.S.
`
`District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. I have been in private
`
`practice since 1983, and have litigated many civil cases since that time, including a
`
`number involving patent infringement.
`
`3.
`
`I have never been suspended or disbarred from practice before any court or
`
`administrative body.
`
`4.
`
`I have never had a court deny my application for admission to practice.
`
`
`
`I have never had an administrative body deny my application for admission
`
`Case CBM2012-00005

`

`
`to practice.
`
`6.
`
`No sanctions or contempt citations have ever been imposed against me by
`
`any court or administrative body.
`
`7.
`
`I have read and will comply with Office Patent Trial Practice Guide and the
`
`Board’s Rules of Practice for Trials, as set forth in Part 42 of the C.F.R.
`
`8.
`
`I agree to be subject to the United States Patent and Trademark Office Code
`
`of Professional Responsibility set forth in 37 C.F.R. § 10.20 et seq. and
`
`disciplinary jurisdiction under 37 C.F.R. § 11.19(a).
`
`9.
`
`I have never previously appeared pro hac vice in any proceedings before the
`
`United States Patent and Trademark Office.
`
`10.
`
`I am very familiar with the subject matter at issue in this proceeding. I am
`
`counsel for Plaintiff Frontline Technologies, Inc. in the Frontline Technologies,
`
`Inc. v. CRS, Inc. patent infringement litigation, Civil Action No. 2:07-cv-2457
`
`(E.D. Pa.), which involves the same patent at issue in this proceeding. Since that
`
`lawsuit was filed in 2007, I have been involved in the day-to-day management and
`
`conduct of that litigation for my client. I have drafted portions of many of the
`
`substantive papers filed in that litigation, defended depositions of Frontline’s
`
`witnesses and experts, and personally deposed CRS witnesses and experts.
