`1.
`
`I, Charlotte C. Jacobsen, am more than twenty-one years of age, am
`
`competent to present this declaration, and have personal knowledge of the facts
`
`set forth herein.
`
`2.
`
`This declaration is given in support of Patent Owners’ Motion for
`
`Pro Hac Vice Admission.
`
`3.
`
`I am a partner at the law firm of Fitzpatrick, Cella, Harper & Scinto
`
`in the New York office.
`
`4.
`
`I have been a patent litigation attorney for more than eleven years.
`
`I have been litigating patent cases for this entire time period and have been
`
`involved in numerous cases involving patent validity and infringement in
`
`District Courts across the country as well as at the Federal Circuit. I have
`
`extensive experience in bench trials. A significant portion of my work has
`
`involved biological and chemical arts, with particular emphasis on
`
`pharmaceuticals. I am, therefore, an experienced litigating attorney.
`
`5.
`
`I am a member in good standing of the State Bar of New York and
`
`the Bar of England and Wales. I have never been suspended or disbarred from
`
`practice before any court or administrative body.
`
`6.
`
`No court or administrative body has ever denied my application for
`
`admission to practice before it.

`

`7.
`
`No court or administrative body has ever imposed sanctions or
`
`contempt citations on me.
`
`8.
`
`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.
`
`9.
`
`I understand that I will be subject to the Office’s 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).
`
`10.
`
`I am concurrently seeking pro hac vice admission to appear in a co-
`
`pending case brought by the Petitioner against Patent Owners, Case IPR2014-
`
`00549. I have not applied to appear pro hac vice in another proceeding before
`
`the Office in the last three (3) years.
`
`11.
`
`I have an established familiarity with the subject matter at issue in
`
`this proceeding. I have been involved consistently and substantively in this
`
`inter partes review proceeding since its inception in April 2014 and was
`
`engaged by Patent Owners to work on the proceeding from the outset. I have
`
`read in detail and understand the Petition filed by Petitioner and the challenged
`
`patent, U.S. Patent 6,335,031 (“the ’031 patent”). I have also reviewed in detail
`
`all the exhibits relied upon by Petitioner in this proceeding.

`

`12.
`
`I have engaged in extensive strategic and substantive discussions
`
`regarding this proceeding with Raymond R. Mandra, who is the lead counsel for
`
`Patent Owners in this proceeding and in Case IPR2014-00549, and Nicholas K.
`
`Kallas, who is the back-up counsel for Patent Owners in this proceeding. I have
`
`also engaged in extensive substantive discussions with experts concerning issues
`
`relevant to this proceeding and Case IPR2014-00549.
`
`13.
`
`Since January 2012, I have served as counsel for Patent Owners in
`
`several related lawsuits in which the ’031 patent is or was asserted, including (1)
