`
`

`
`

`
`
`
`6.
`
`I have never had any court impose sanctions or contempt citations
`
`against me.
`
`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 USPTO 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 years, I have applied and been admitted to appear pro
`
`hac vice in the following proceedings before the Office: IPR2013-00196 (granted

`
`

`
`
`
`10.
`
`I have been in practice for over twelve years, and I have been
`
`litigating patent cases for over nine years.
`
`11.
`
`I have an established familiarity with the subject matter at issue in this
`
`proceeding. I have read in detail and understand the papers and evidence
`
`submitted by Petitioner in this proceeding, and am very familiar with the invalidity
`
`grounds and legal theories advanced from my years of experience litigating patent
`
`cases. I have reviewed in detail the patent challenged in this proceeding, U.S.
`
`Patent No. RE42,678 (“the ’678 Patent”). I have also reviewed in detail the
`
`exhibits to the Petition, including the file history of the ‘678 Patent and the prior
`
`art references and excerpts that are the basis for Petitioner’s obviousness and
`
`anticipation grounds in this proceeding.
`
`12.
`
`I have invested significant time in strategic and substantive discussion
`
`regarding this proceeding with lead counsel for Petitioner, Walter C. Linder. As a
`
`result of these discussions and reviewing written materials, including the exhibits
`
`filed with the Petition, I have a detailed understanding of the subject matter at issue
`
`in this proceeding.
`
`13.
`
`I hereby declare that all statements herein of my own knowledge are
`
`true and that all statements made on information and belief are believed to be true;
`
`and further that these statements are made with the knowledge that willful false
`
`
`
`4
`
`

`
`
`
`statements and the like are punishable by fine, imprisonment, or both, under
`
`section 1001 of Title 18 of the United States Code.
`
`
`
`Respectfully Submitted,
`
`
`
