`
`I, Jeffrey B. Elikan, declare as follows:
`
`1.
`
`2.
`
`I am a partner in the law firm Covington & Burling LLP.
`
`I am a member in good standing of the New York State Bar (admitted
`
`1992) and the District of Columbia Bar (admitted 2000).
`
`I am also admitted to
`
`practice in the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, the United
`
`States District Court for the District of Maryland, the United States District Court
`
`for Southern District of New York, and the United States District Court of the
`
`Eastern District of New York.
`
`3.
`
`I have never been suspended or disbarred from practice before any
`
`court or administrative body.
`
`4.
`
`I have never had an application for admission to practice before any
`
`court or administrative body denied.
`
`5.
`
`I have had no sanctions or contempt citations imposed against me by
`
`any court or administrative body.
`
`6.
`
`I have read and will comply with the Office Patent Trial Guide and
`
`the Board’s Rules for Practice for Trials set forth in part 42 of the Code of Federal
`
`Regulations.

`CFAD v. Anacor, IPR2015-01776
`ANACOR EX. 2204 - 2/4
`
`
`
`IPR2015—O1776
`
`7.
`
`I agree to be subject to the USPTO Rules of Professional Conduct set
`
`forth in 37 C.F.R. §§ 11.100 et seq. and disciplinary jurisdiction under 37 C.F.R.
`
`§ 11.19(a).
`
`8.
`
`I have not previously applied to appear pro hac vice in any other
`
`proceedings before the Office, although I am contemporaneously submitting pro
`
`hac vice applications on behalf of Patent Owner in the co—pending proceedings
`
`IPR2015-01780 and IPR2015-01785.
`
`9.
`
`I am an experienced litigating attorney in my twenty-fifth year of law
`
`practice.
`
`I have been litigating patent cases since approximately 1997 and have
`
`served as trial counsel in more than thirty patent infringement lawsuits.
`
`10.
`
`I am familiar with the subject matter and U.S. Patent No. 7,582,621
`
`(“the ’62l Patent”) at issue in this proceeding, including its prosecution history, the
`
`related U.S. Patent No. 7,767,657, and the scientific field to which the ’62l Patent
`
`is addressed. Over the past several months, I have worked with Anacor
`
`Pharmaceuticals, Inc., the Patent Owner in this proceeding, and lead counsel to
`
`develop the responses to Petitioner’s invalidity challenges. Specifically, I was
`
`involved with retaining experts and working with those experts, whose declarations
`
`support the Patent Owner Response.
`
`I was also involved in developing the strategy
`
`relating to Anacor’s Patent Owner Response. All of the above activities required

`CFAD v. Anacor, IPR2015—O1776

`IPR2015—01776
`
`developing a thorough understanding of the patent at issue in this proceeding, the
`
`prior art, and the relevant scientific field.
`
`11.
`
`I hereby declare that all statements made 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 statements and the like so made are punishable by fine or
`
`imprisonment, or both, under Section 1001 of Title 18 of the United States Code.
