`
`
`
`state of Nevada, provides translation and interpretation services to companies in
`
`the United States and around the world. Under my guidance, every month our
`
`company delivers hundreds of written translations from Japanese to English to the
`
`World Intellectual Property Organization in Geneva and numerous intellectual
`
`property law llI'1‘I'1S in Japan.
`
`2.
`
`3.
`
`I am fluent in the Japanese and English languages.
`
`I have been translating Japanese patents since 1978. and have been
`
`working as a Japanese translator in the United States since 1990.
`
`4.
`
`Prior to emigrating to the United States, I was employed in the Former
`
`Soviet Union at GIPRONICKEL Research Institute in Saint Petersburg, where my
`
`role was to translate technical scientific papers from Japanese to Russian.
`
`I was a
`
`translator there for 1 1 years.
`
`5.
`
`I requested that Technical Language Services employee James
`
`Dowdle, one of our company's translators who is fluent in the Japanese and
`
`English languages, provide a translation that is a true and accurate translation of
`
`the Japanese Patent Application No. 56-l22328A (Kawakami), Crystalline Amine
`
`Salt of Methanoprostacyclin Derivative, Manufacturing Method Thereof, and
`
`Purifying Method Thereof.

`
`
`
`6.
`
`Mr. Dowdle is a Japanese-to-English translator who is competent to
`
`translate this patent application and who has been receiving continuous training as
`
`a Japanese translator since joining the company in 2012.
`
`7.
`
`I personally checked, using my expertise in Japanese and English, that
`
`the English translation that Mr. Dowdle created is a true and accurate translation of
`
`the Japanese Patent Application No. S6-122328A (Kawakami), Crystalline Amine
`
`Salt of Methanoprostacyclin Derivative, Manufacturing Method Thereof, and
`
`Purifying Method Thereof, and provided a declaration dated September 22, 2015,
`
`to the Board.
`
`(BX. 101]).
`
`8.
`
`It is the practice in our industry that the relevant company officer, not
`
`the original translator, provides the certification that the translation is true and
`
`accurate. That is why I, and not Mr. Dowdle, provided the declaration of
`
`September 22, 2015.
`
`9.
`
`I again confirm, based on my personal knowledge of the Japanese and
`
`English languages, that the translation my ISO-certified company provided at Ex.
`
`1007 is a true and accurate translation of the Japanese Patent Application No. 56-
`
`l22328A (Kawakarni), Crystalline Amine Salt of Methanoprostacyclin Derivative,
`
`Manufacturing Method Thereof, and Purifying Method Thereof.
`
`I hereby declare that all statements made herein are of my own personal
`
`knowledge; all statements made on information and belief are believed to be true;
