`

`
`
`
`
`I, Mark A. Chapman, declare as follows:
`
`
`1.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`I am a partner at the firm Kenyon & Kenyon LLP, where my practice
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`focuses on patent—related matters, and in particular, patent litigation in a variety of
`
`
`
`
`
`technical fields.
`
`
`2.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`I am a member in good standing of the State Bar of New York and am
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`also admitted to practice in the U.S. District Courts for the Eastern and Southern
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Districts of New York, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, and the U.S.
`
`
`
`
`Supreme Court.
`
`
`
`
`

`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`

`
`
`and a partner at Kenyon & Kenyon LLP. My practice focuses on patent litigation in
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`

`
`district courts around the country, appeals at the Federal Circuit, and assisting with
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`

`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`several years, I have been involved in, inter alia, the following district court patent
