`
`1.
`
`I, Bas de Blank, am competent to present this affidavit, and have
`
`personal knowledge of the facts set forth herein.
`
`2. This affidavit is given in support of Patent Owner Robert Bosch
`
`Healthcare Systems, Inc.’s Motion for Pro Hac Vice Admission of Bas de Blank.
`
`3.
`
`I am a partner at the law firm of Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe. I
`
`am an experienced litigating attorney and have been a litigating attorney for more
`
`than 15 (fifteen) years.
`
`4.
`
`5.
`
`I have been litigating patent cases for over 15 (fifteen) years.
`
`I have litigated patent cases in the area of computerized information
`
`systems, the same subject matter as U.S. Patent No. 7,516,192, at issue in this inter
`
`partes review proceeding.
`
`6.
`
`I have an established familiarity with the subject matter at issue in
`
`this proceeding. I am counsel for Bosch in a co-pending district court litigation
`
`against Petitioner Cardiocom, LLC (“Cardiocom”). That litigation is captioned
`
`Robert Bosch Healthcare Systems, Inc. v. Cardiocom, LLC, Civil Action No. 2:13-
`
`cv-349 (E.D. Tex.) and involves U.S. Patent No. 7,516,192 also at issue in this
`
`inter partes review proceeding. As counsel for Bosch, I have been actively
`
`involved in preparing the technical aspects of the case relating to infringement and
`
`validity of the ‘192 Patent, including detailed analysis of the ‘192 Patent and its
`
`file history. As such, I have an in-depth familiarity with the ‘192 Patent and its file
`
`OHSUSA:754581073.2
`
`Page 2 of 5
`
`
`
`Orrick Docket No.: 12833.2003
`
`history, as well as the references asserted as prior art by Cardiocom. I also have an
`
`in-depth familiarity with Bosch’s related U.S. Patent Nos. 7,921,186, 7,587,469,
`
`7,870,249, and their file histories, which are also asserted in this co-pending
`
`litigation.
`
`7.
`
`I am also counsel for Bosch in a second co-pending district court
`
`litigation against Cardiocom. That litigation is captioned Robert Bosch Healthcare
`
`Systems, Inc. v. Cardiocom, LLC, Case No. 5:12-CV-3864-EJD (N.D. Cal.) and
`
`involves U.S. Patent Nos. 6,368,273; 6,968,375; 7,252,636; and 8,140,663, which
`
`are related to the patent at issue, and U.S. Patent Nos. 7,941,327 and 8,015,025,
`
`which involve similar computerized information systems technology as the ‘192
`
`Patent.
`
`8.
`
`9.
`
`I am a member in good standing of the State Bar of California.
`
`I have never been suspended or disbarred from practice before any
`
`court or administrative body.
`
`10. No court or administrative body has ever denied my application for
`
`admission to practice before it.
`
`11. No court or administrative body has ever imposed sanctions or
`
`contempt citations on me.
`
`12. 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 Section 37
`
`OHSUSA:754581073.2
`
`Page 3 of 5
`
`
`
`Orrick Docket No.: 12833.2003

`of the Code of Federal Regulations.

`13. I understand that I will be subject to the USPTO Rules of
`
`Professional Conduct set forth in 37 C.F.R. §§ 11.101 et seq. and disciplinary
`
`jurisdiction under 37 C.F.R. § 11.19(a).
