`
`DECLARATION OF MICHAEL B. LEVIN
`IN SUPPORT OF MOTION FOR PRO HAC VICE ADMISSION
`
`BLOOMBERG ET AL – EXHIBIT 1034
`
`
`
`I, Michael B. Levin, state and declare as follows:
`
`1.
`
`2.
`
`I am a member in good standing of the Bar of the State of California.
`
`I have never been suspended or disbarred from practice before any court or
`
`administrative body.
`
`3.
`
`I have never had a court or administrative body deny my application for
`
`admission to practice.
`
`4.
`
`I have never had any sanctions or contempt citations imposed by any court or
`
`administrative body.
`
`5.
`
`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.
`
`6.
`
`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).
`
`7.
`
`In the past three years, I have not appeared pro hac vice in any proceedings before
`
`the United States Patent and Trademark Office
`
`8.
`
`I am an experienced litigator and have an established familiarity with the subject
`
`matter at issue in the proceeding. I have been practicing law since 1994 and have extensive
`
`experience litigating intellectual property disputes across the country, including patent disputes
`
`in district court and before the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC). I have been
`
`recognized in Northern California Super Lawyers every year since 2005. I am familiar with U.S.
`
`Patent No. 7,941,357 (“the ‘357 Patent”) and the issues involved in this case. I have been
`
`1
`
`
`
`representing Bloomberg et al. against Patent Owner Markets-Alert in pending District Court
`
`litigation since June 2012 when Markets-Alert asserted the ‘357 Patent.
`
`I have been actively
`
`involved as lead counsel for Bloomberg et al. throughout the life of the District Court case.
`
`11.
`
`I hereby declare that all statements made herein of my own knowledge are true
`
`and that all statements made on information and belief are believed to be true.

`Date: May 2, 2013
