`DECLARATION OF COSMIN MAIER IN SUPPORT OF
`UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR ADMISSION PRO HAC VICE
`
`I, Cosmin Maier, declare as follows:
`
`1.
`
`I have been practicing law for over eight years, and have been
`
`practicing in the field of intellectual property, and particularly, patent litigation, for
`
`the entire eight years.
`
`2.
`
`I am a member in good standing of the State of New York, and am
`
`admitted to practice before the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal
`
`Circuit, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and
`
`the Eastern District of New York, and all New York State courts. I have been

`
`admitted pro hac vice in many district courts including the Eastern District of
`
`Texas, the Northern and Central Districts of California, and the Western District of

`
`3. My New York Bar membership number is 4632204.
`
`4.
`
`I have been in private practice primarily litigating patent cases for the
`
`full eight years I have been practicing. Several of these patent litigations
`
`concerned Patent Office rules and regulations. For example, in an investigation by
`
`the United States International Trade Commission where I represented Apple Inc.,
`
`the investigation concerned inequitable conduct and the duty of disclosure.
`
`Certain Electronic Devices, Including Mobile Phones, Portable Music Players,
`
`and Computers, 337-TA-701.
`
`5.
`
`I have never been suspended, disbarred, sanctioned or cited for
`
`contempt by 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 read and will comply with Office Patent Trial Practice Guide
`
`and the Board’s Rules of Practice for Trials, as set forth in 37 C.F.R. Part 42.
`
`8.
`
`I agree to be subject to the United States Patent and Trademark Office
`
`Code of Professional Responsibility set forth in 37 C.F.R. §§ 11.101 et. seq. and
`
`disciplinary jurisdiction under 37 C.F.R. §11.19(a).
