`
`
`DECLARATION OF STEVEN G. HILL IN
`
`SUPPORT OF PATENT OWNER’S MOTION FOR ADMISSION
`
`PRO HAC VICE OF STEVEN G. HILL PURSUANT TO 37 C.F.R. §42.10
`
`I, Steven G. Hill, declare as follows:
`
`1.
`
`I am an experienced litigating attorney with more than nineteen (19)
`
`years of experience.
`
`2.
`
`3.
`
`I have been litigating patent cases for at least fifteen (15) years.
`
`I am a member in good standing of the Georgia State Bar and am
`
`admitted to practice in the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit,
`
`the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, the United States Court of
`
`Appeals for the Tenth Circuit, the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh
`
`Circuit and the United States District Courts for the Northern and Middle Districts
`
`of Georgia, among others.
`
`4.
`
`I have never been suspended or disbarred from practice before any
`
`court or administrative body.
`
`5.
`
`I have never had an application for admission to practice before any
`
`court or administrative body denied.
`
`
`
`6.
`
`I have had no sanctions or contempt citations imposed against me by
`
`any court or administrative body.
`
`7.
`
`I am familiar with the subject matter at issue in this proceeding,
`
`including the patent-at-issue. I served as lead counsel in the following district court
`
`cases:
`
`Project Paperless, LLC v. UAVCommunicatz'ons, Inc. and Bosh Global Systems,
`Case No. 3 : 12-cv-39 filed January 18, 2012 in the U.S. District Court for the
`Eastern District of Virginia.
`
`Project Paperless, LLC v. BlueWave Computing, LLC, et al., Case No. 1:12-cv-
`00995—SCJ filed March 23, 2012 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern
`District of Georgia.
`
`These cases involved the same patent at issue in this proceeding.
`
`8.
`
`I was actively involved in all aspects of these district court cases,
`
`including the issue of validity of the patents-in-suit, which included the patent at
`
`issue in this proceeding.
`
`9.
`
`I have read and will comply with the Office Patent Trial Practice
`
`Guide and the Board’s Rules of Practice for Trials set forth in part 42 of the C.F.R.
`
`10.
`
`I agree to be subject to the USPTO Code of Professional
`
`Responsibility set forth in 37 C.F.R. §§10.20 et seq., and to disciplinary
`
`jurisdiction under 37 C.F.R. §1l.19(a).
`
`
`
`11.
`
`I have not applied to appear pro hac vice in any proceeding before the
`
`Office in the last three (3) years.
`
`12.
`
`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; and further that these statements are made with the knowledge
`
`that willful false statements and the like so made are punishable by fine or
`
`imprisonment, or both, under Section 1001 of Title 18 of the United States Code
`
`and that such willful false statements may jeopardize the validity of US. Patent
`
`No. 7,986,426.
