`1.
`
`I, Charlotte Jacobsen, am more than twenty-one years of age, am
`
`competent to present this declaration, and have personal knowledge of the facts
`
`set forth herein.
`
`2.
`
`This declaration is given in support of Patent Owner Novartis’s
`
`Motion for Pro Hac Vice Admission.
`
`3.
`
`I am a partner at the law firm of Fitzpatrick, Cella, Harper &
`
`Scinto, in the firm’s New York office.
`
`4.
`
`I have been a patent litigation attorney for more than thirteen years.
`
`I have been litigating patent cases for this entire time period and have been
`
`involved in numerous cases involving patent validity and infringement, at both
`
`the District Court and the Federal Circuit. I have extensive experience in bench
`
`trials. I have also been involved in inter partes review proceedings before the
`
`Board. A significant portion of my work has involved biological and chemical
`
`arts, with particular emphasis on pharmaceuticals. I am, therefore, an
`
`experienced litigating attorney.
`
`5.
`
`I am a member in good standing of the State Bar of New York and
`
`the Bar of England and Wales. I have never been suspended or disbarred from
`
`practice before any court or administrative body.

`
`
`
`
`6.
`
`No court or administrative body has ever denied my application for
`
`admission to practice before it.
`
`7.
`
`No court or administrative body has ever imposed sanctions or
`
`contempt citations on me.
`
`8.
`
`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.
`
`9.
`
`I understand that I will be subject to the Office’s 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).
`
`10.
`
`I have applied to appear pro hac vice in two (2) other proceedings
`
`before the Office in the last three (3) years. In Noven Pharm., Inc. v. Novartis
`
`AG et al., Inter Partes Reviews 2014-00549 and 2014-00550, I sought and was
`
`granted permission to appear pro hac vice.
`
`11.
`
`I have an established familiarity with the subject matter at issue in
`
`this proceeding. I have been involved consistently and substantively in the
`
`instant matter since its inception in October 2015 and have been involved
`
`consistently and substantively in District Court litigation involving the same
`
`NOVARTIS EXHIBIT 2215
`Par v Novartis, IPR 2016-00084
`Page 3 of 5
`
`
`
`
`patent for over two (2) years. I have read in detail and understand the Petition
`
`filed by Petitioner and the challenged patent, U.S. Patent 5,665,772 (“the ’772
`
`patent”). I have also reviewed all the exhibits relied upon by Petitioner and
`
`Patent Owner in this proceeding, including each of the references cited in
`
`instituted Grounds 1 and 2.
`
`12.
`
`I have engaged in extensive strategic and substantive discussions
`
`regarding this proceeding with Nicholas N. Kallas, who is the lead counsel for
`
`Patent Owner in this proceeding and a registered practitioner (Reg. No. 31,530).
`
`I have also engaged in extensive substantive discussions with experts
`
`concerning issues relevant to this proceeding.
`
`13. Therefore, I have an established familiarity with the subject matter
`
`at issue in this proceeding.
`
`14.
`
`I declare further 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 were 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, and that such willful false statements may jeopardize the validity
`
`of the ’772 patent.
