`
`I have been in private practice primarily litigating patent cases for the full seven
`
`years I have been practicing. Several of these patent litigations concerned Patent Office rules
`
`and regulations. For example, in an investigation by the United States International Trade
`
`Commission where I represented Apple, Inc., the investigation concerned inequitable conduct
`
`and the duty of disclosure. Certain Electronic Devices, Including Mobile Phones, Portable
`
`Music Players, and Computers, 337-TA-701.

`court or administrative body.

`I have never had a court or administrative body deny my application for
`
`admission to practice.
