`
`“Arista”) respectfully requests that the Board recognize Christopher W. Dryer as

`Accorded to Petition and Time for Filing Patent Owner Preliminary Response that
`
`was mailed on December 15, 2015.

`Patent Owner had indicated that it will not oppose this motion.

`Mr. Dryer is a patent litigation attorney with more than two years of
`
`experience representing clients in cases involving network devices and protocols,
`
`computer software, graphical user interfaces, liquid crystal display devices, and
`
`lithium-ion batteries, among other technologies. Between 2012 and 2013, Mr.
`
`Dryer also served as a law clerk to the Honorable Timothy B. Dyk at the United
`
`States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. Mr. Dryer regularly litigates
`
`patent cases before federal district courts and the United States International Trade
`

`
`devices and technologies. As part of his work in that Investigation, Mr. Dryer was
