`
`
`
`I, Robert J. Kent, declare as follows:
`
`1.
`
`I have been in private practice and litigating patent cases in particular
`
`for almost seven years, since my admission to the bar in November of 2007.
`
`2.
`
`I have represented clients at all stages of the patent litigation process,
`
`from pre-filing investigations and drafting pleadings, to discovery and depositions,
`
`to motion practice, and jury trial. In many cases I have addressed specialized patent
`
`litigation topics such as claim construction briefing and infringement or invalidity
`
`contentions, as well as expert discovery including depositions and preparation of
`
`reports.
`
`3.
`
`I also have four years of experience in the computer science industry,
`
`including positions in both software engineering and customer-facing technical
`
`advising and training. During my time in industry, I gained expertise in a wide
`
`variety of standard languages and tools relevant to the technologies of the ’ 843
`
`patent, including the Microsoft Windows API, Visual Studio and the Windows
`
`Software Development Kit, C++, web application programming, SQL, and object-
`
`oriented access to relational databases.
`
`4.
`
`I am a member in good standing of the Bar of the State of California
`
`and am admitted to practice before the following Courts:
`
`
`
`United States District Courts for the Northern and Central Districts of
`
`California

`
`United States District Court for the District of Colorado
`
`I have never been suspended, disbarred, sanctioned, or cited for
`
`contempt by and court or administrative body.
`
`6.
`
`I have never had a court or administrative body deny my application
`
`for admission to practice.
`
`7.
`
`I have read and will comply with Office Patent Trial Practice Guide
`
`and the Board’s Rules for 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
`
`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).
`
`9.
`
`In the past three (3) years, I have not appeared pro hac vice in any
`
`proceedings before the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
`
`10.
`
`I am familiar with the subject matter at issue in this proceeding, as
`
`follows.
`
`11.
`
`I have read the ’ 843 patent that is subject to Inter Partes Review in
`
`this proceeding, and I have also read all of the prior art references that are
`
`asserted by petitioners to invalidate that patent.
`
`12.
`
`I have also reviewed the IPR petition filed by counsel for Apple in
`
`this matter and I am familiar with its contents.
