`
`ASML v. Energetiq
`IPR2015-01368
`ASML 1026
`
`
`
`IPR2015-01368
`Prussia Declaration
`
`I, Kevin S. Prussia, declare as follows:
`
`1.
`
`I was admitted to the Massachusetts Bar in November of 2006 and
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`have been practicing law for over 9 years. During the entire time that I have been
`
`practicing law, my practice has focused on the field of intellectual property, and
`
`particularly, patent litigation.
`
`2.
`
`I am a member in good standing of the Bar of Massachusetts and the
`
`Bar of New York, and am admitted to practice before the U.S. District Court for
`
`the District of Massachusetts, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit, and
`
`the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. I am also admitted to practice
`
`before the Supreme Judicial Court for Suffolk County, Massachusetts, and the
`
`State of New York Supreme Court Appellate Division, Third Judicial Dept.
`
`3. My New York Bar membership number is 4498539.
`
`4.
`
`Over the course of my career, I have been counsel in dozens of patent
`
`litigations. Several of these cases have concerned Patent Office rules and
`
`regulations. For example, I have litigated a number of cases concerning the duty
`
`of candor to the Patent Office embodied in 37 C.F.R. § 1.56. Cases that I have been
`
`involved in which implicate this rule include Energetiq Tech., Inc. v. ASML
`
`Netherlands B.V. et al., Civ. No.: 1:15-cv-10240-LTS (D. Mass.); In the Matter of
`
`Certain Laser-Driven Light Sources, Subsystems Containing Laser-Driven Light
`
`2
`
`
`
`
`Sources, and Products Containing Same, Inv. No. 337-TA-983 (U.S. International
`
`IPR2015-01368
`Prussia Declaration
`
`Trade Commission); Summit 6 LLC v. Apple Inc., Civ. No.: 7:14-cv-00106 (N.D.
`
`Tex.); and St. Clair Intellectual Property Consultants Inc. v. Research in Motion
`
`Ltd. et al., Civ. No: 1:08-cv-00371 (D. Del.). In addition, Energetiq Tech., Inc. v.
`
`ASML Netherlands B.V. et al., Civ. No.: 1:15-cv-10240-LTS (D. Mass.) also
`
`concerned Patent Office rules and regulations embodied in 37 C.F.R. § 1.27
`
`regarding the definition and treatment of small entities.
`
`5.
`
`I have never been suspended or disbarred from practice before any
`
`court or administrative body.
`
`6.
`
`I have never had a court or administrative body deny my application
`
`for admission to practice.
`
`7.
`
`I have never had any sanctions or contempt citations imposed on me
`
`by any court or administrative body.
`
`8.
`
`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 37 C.F.R. Part
`
`42.
`
`9.
`
`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).
`
`3
`
`
`
`10.
`
`In the last three (3) years, I have not appeared pro hac vice in any
`
`IPR2015-01368
`Prussia Declaration
`
`
`
`proceedings before the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
`
`11.
`
`I am familiar with the subject matter at issue in this proceeding. I
`
`have reviewed U.S. Patent No. 8,525,138 (the “’138 patent”), which is being
`
`challenged in this proceeding, and I have reviewed the relevant prior art.
`
`Beginning in 2015 and continuing until the present, I have represented Petitioners
`
`ASML Netherlands B.V., Excelitas Technologies Corp., and Qioptiq Photonics
`
`GmbH & Co. KG in Energetiq Tech., Inc. v. ASML Netherlands B.V. et al., Civ.
`
`No.: 1:15-cv-10240-LTS (D. Mass.) (the “Energetiq litigation”), which is a related
`
`matter to this proceeding. The validity of the ’138 patent over the prior art raised in
`
`this proceeding is a contested issue in the Energetiq litigation. The validity of other
`
`patents in the same patent family as the ’138 patent over some of the prior art
`
`raised in this proceeding are also contested issues in the Energetiq litigation.
`
`
`
`
`

`
`
`
`12.
`
`I hereby declare that all statements made herein of my own
`
`IPR2015-01368
`Prussia Declaration
`
`
`
`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 statements and the like are punishable by fine, imprisonment, or
`
`both, under Section 1001 of Title 18 of the United States Code.
