`11.
`
`I was admitted pro hac vice by the Board in Case IPR2012-00022
`
`(MPT) to represent the Patent Owner as back-up counsel in that proceeding.
`
`12.
`
`l have an established familiarity with the subject matter at issue in this
`
`proceeding.
`
`I have litigated patent cases in the area of nucleic acid analysis since
`
`2002, including several cases about “next generation” sequencing technologies.
`
`I
`
`began representing and advising real party in
`
`interest Sequenom,
`
`Inc.
`
`(“Sequenom”) in matters relating to US. Patent No. 8,195,415 (“the ’415 patent”)
`
`no later than June 2012. Since that time, I have become very familiar with the
`
`’4 1 S patent and with its prosecution file history.
`

`
`I am lead trial counsel for Sequenom in its co—pending district court
`
`litigation against the Patent Owner and its licensee Verinata Health, Inc. That
`
`litigation is captioned Verz'nat‘a Health, Inc, et a]. v. Sequenom, Inc, et cl, Case
`
`No. 12-cv-00865 (SI) (N.D. Cal), and involves the same patent at issue in this
`
`proceeding. As lead trial counsel for Sequenom, I have been actively involved in
`
`all aspects of the co-pending district court litigation. As examples of my work as
`
`lead trial counsel,
`
`I have presented a technology tutorial and argued claim
`
`construction regarding the ”415 patent before the District Court in 2013.
`

`
`In addition, I am lead trial counsel for Sequenom in two other pending
`
`district court cases involving related technology claimed in US. Patent No.
