`Declaration Of Kenneth Liebman In Support Of Motion For Pro Hac Vice Admission
`
`7.
`
`I have read and will comply with the 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.
`
`In the past three years, I have applied for and been granted the right to
`
`appear pro hac vice in IPR2014-00321. I am concurrently applying to appear pro
`
`hac vice in IPR2014-00311. Both of the proceedings referred to in this paragraph
`
`relate to patents at issue in the litigation identified below in paragraph 11.
`
`10.
`
`I have been in private practice for over 33 years, and litigating patent
`
`cases for over 20 years. Several of these patent litigations involve USPTO post-
`
`grant procedures. For example, I currently represent Honeywell International, Inc.
`
`in an action pending before the United States District Court for the District of
`
`Minnesota, Honeywell International, Inc. v. Nest Labs, et al, No.0:12-cv-00299
`
`(SRN-JSM) (D. MN). The patents in suit in that action are the subject of inter
`
`partes reexamination requests: ‘958 Patent – 95/002,042, ‘948 Patent – 95/002,037,
`
`790 Patent – 95/002,043, ‘789 Patent – 95/002,039, ‘504 Patent – 95/002,041, ‘899
`
`Patent – 95/002,040, ‘988 Patent – 95/002,038. I have litigated other cases
`
`involving related reexamination proceedings as well.
