`
`AFFIDAVIT OF MS. LAUREN M. NOWIERSKI IN SUPPORT OF
`
`MOTION FOR PRO HAC VICE ADMISSION
`
`1, Lauren M. Nowierski, being duly sworn and upon oath, hereby attest to
`
`the following:
`
`1.
`
`I am more than twenty—one years of age, am competent to present this
`
`affidavit, and have personal knowledge of the facts set forth herein.
`
`I am a member in good standing of the State Bars of New York and
`
`New Jersey.
`
`I am also admitted to practice before the United States
`
`District Court for the Southern District of New York.
`
`I have not been suspended or disbarred from practice before any court
`
`or administrative body.
`
`I have never had an application for admission to practice before any
`
`court or administrative body denied.
`
`No sanction or contempt citation has been imposed against me by any
`
`court or administrative body.
`
`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 37 C.F.R.
`
`I will be subject to the USPTO Rules of Professional Conduct set
`
`forth in 37 C.F.R. § ll.l0l et seq. and disciplinary jurisdiction under
`
`37 C.F.R. § ll.l9(a).
`
`
`
`I have not sought pro hac vice admission in any previous proceedings
`
`before the USPTO in the last three (3) years.
`
`I have established familiarity with the subject matter at issue in this
`
`proceeding.
`
`I have reviewed U.S. Patent No. 8,754,090 and its
`
`prosecution file history.
`
`I have also reviewed the Petition filed in
`
`Case IPR20l5-01076 and the exhibits attached thereto.
`
`10.
`
`I am an experienced patent litigation attorney, with experience in
`
`numerous lawsuits involving patent infringement in District Courts
`
`across the United States. That experience includes, but is not limited
`
`to, experience with fact discovery, expert discovery, dispositive
`
`motions, Markman briefing, and Markman hearings.
`
`I have
`
`experience litigating patents in the pharmaceutical and life sciences
`
`fields.
`
`11.
`
`I have practiced litigation, including patent litigation, for five and a
`
`half (5.5) years. During that time, over 90% of my practice has
`
`included patent litigation.
`
`I am currently an associate at the law firm
`
`of Desmarais LLP, an intellectual property litigation firm in New
`
`York, New York, where I have worked as an associate for over three
`
`years (from 2012-2015).
`
`Prior to working at Desmarais LLP,
`
`I
`
`worked as an associate in the patent litigation group at Goodwin
`
`
`
`Procter LLP for over two years (from 2010-2012), as a summer
`
`associate at Goodwin Procter LLP in New York in 2008, and as a
`
`summer associate at Sughrue Mion, PLLC in Washington D.C.
`
`in
`
`2007.
