`
`I have never had an application for admission to practice before any court or

`
`4.
`
`No sanction or contempt citation has been imposed against me by any court
`
`or administrative body.
`
`5.
`
`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 the Code of Federal

`6.

`
`
`
`Proceeding No.: IPR2016-00309
`Attorney Docket: 40963-0006IP3
`lithium-ion batteries, among other technologies. Between 2012 and 2013, I served
`
`as a law clerk to the Honorable Timothy B. Dyk at the United States Court of
`
`Appeals for the Federal Circuit. I regularly litigate patent cases before federal
`
`district courts and the United States International Trade Commission. Through this
`
`experience, I have substantial experience in trials, discovery, Markman hearings,
`
`and appeals. My biography is attached hereto as Exhibit A. I represent Petitioner
`
`Arista Networks, Inc. in Investigation No. 337-TA-945 at the United States
`
`International Trade Commission, in which Patent Owner asserts U.S. Patent No.
`
`7,224,668 (“the ’668 patent”), among other patents relating to network devices and
`
`technologies, and in which I have been deeply involved in many phases of the
`
`litigation from discovery through trial. As a result, I am very familiar with the
`
`’668 patent and its subject matter.
`
`
`
`I hereby declare 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 application or any patents issued
`
`thereon.
