`Prior to my current position I was employed as the CTO of AVG Technologies
`
`(2009–2015); Finjan Software, Ltd., (2005–2009); KaVaDo Inc. (2000–2004);
`
`Ness Technologies. I was also employed from 1994–1996 an engineer at Intel
`
`Corp. From 1988–1992 I was a member of the Intelligence Services of the Israeli
`

`In 1998, I obtained a Bachelor in Science in Industrial Engineering
`
`and Management and Information Systems from Ben Gureon University in Israel.

`
`included responsibility over Finjan’s Malicious Code Research Center, Technology
`
`development and innovation, intellectual property, strategy.
`
`5.
`
`David Gruzman and I developed the invention claimed in U.S. Patent
`
`No. 8,141,154. We had identified a need to scan dynamically generated code,
`
`which could not be scanned with known static analysis tools, to determine whether
`
`it was malicious.
`

`
`In October 2005, I prepared a draft patent application for the invention
`

`
`Patent Owner Finjan, Inc. - Exhibit 2011, p. 2
`
`
`
`application to Dr. Marc Berger, who worked for Finjan and drafted Finjan’s patent
`
`applications at the time. Ex. 2007 at pg. 2. It was my understanding that Dr.
`
`Berger was working with the Eitan Law Group to file patent applications for
`
`Finjan.
`
`7.
`
`From October 31 through December 12, 2005, I worked diligently
`
`with Dr. Berger to finalize the application. For example, on November 13, 2005, I
`
`emailed Dr. Berger regarding the patent application. Ex. 2007 at pg. 2. Dr. Berger
`
`responded on December 6, 2005 via email regarding the application. We also had
`
`several phone conversations between November 13, 2005 and December 12, 2005
`
`regarding the patent application. In each of these conversations, we communicated
`
`regarding work to be done on the draft patent application.

`
`The patent application for U.S. Patent Application Serial No.
`
`11/298,475 was filed on December 12, 2005. Ex. 2006.
