`DECLARATION OF WILLIAM R. ZIMMERMAN IN SUPPORT OF

`Mylan v. Novartis
`
`
`I, William R. Zimmerman, do hereby declare:
`1.
`
`I am a partner in the law firm of Knobbe Martens Olson & Bear,
`
`LLP. Lead counsel in this inter partes review proceeding is Joseph M. Reisman,
`
`who is also a partner in the law firm of Knobbe Martens Olson & Bear, LLP. Mr.
`
`Reisman is registered to practice before the United States Patent and Trademark
`
`Office and holds Registration No. 43,878. With respect to this proceeding, I will
`
`work closely with Mr. Reisman.
`2.
`
`I have over 16 years of experience as a patent litigator and have
`
`represented clients in numerous patent litigation cases in various United States
`
`District Courts and the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. I also have
`
`experience in inter partes review proceedings, for example, IPR2013-00024,
`
`IPR2013-00128, IPR2013-00266, IPR2013-00517, IPR2013-00518, and IPR2014-
`
`01093.
`3.
`
`I am comfortable and experienced with technically and legally
`
`complex matters, such as will be present in this proceeding. In particular, I am
`
`experienced with technically and legally complex matters in the field of chemistry
`
`and biotechnology. In addition to my experience with technically and legally
`
`complex patent matters, I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemical
`
`Engineering from the University of Notre Dame. I also served as a law clerk to the
`
`Honorable Alvin A. Schall, Circuit Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for
`
`the Federal Circuit.

`
`
`
`IPR2015-00268
`Mylan v. Novartis
`
`
`4.
`
`I am familiar with U.S. Patent No. 6,335,031 and with the legal
`
`subject matter, technical subject matter, and prior art discussed in Petitioner’s
`
`request for inter partes review of U.S. Patent No. 6,335,031, which forms the basis
`
`for this proceeding. In view of my legal experience, technical background, and
`
`familiarity with the issues in the present matter, Petitioner has requested my
`
`services in the present matter. Denial of my appearance in this case would create
`
`an undue burden on Petitioner.
`5.
`
`I am a member in good standing of the Bar of the State of California
`
`and the Bar of the District of Columbia. I am admitted to practice before the
`
`Supreme Court of the United States and before the United States Court of Appeals
`
`for the Federal Circuit.
`
`6.
`
`I have never been suspended or disbarred from practice before any
`
`court or administrative body.
`7.
`
`I have never had a court or administrative body deny my application
`
`for admission to practice.
`
`8.
`
`I have never been sanctioned or cited for contempt by any court or
`
`administrative body.
`
`9.
`
`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.
`10.
`
`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).
