`
`
`I, the below-named Declarant, state as follows:
`
`1. My name is Justin T. Nemunaitis, and I reside in Dallas, Texas.
`
`2.
`
`3.
`
`I am a member in good standing of the State Bar of Texas;
`
`I have never been suspended or disbarred from practice before
`
`any court or administrative body;
`
`4.
`
`I have never had an application for admission to practice before
`
`any court or administrative body ever denied;
`
`5.
`
`I have never had sanctions or contempt citations imposed by
`
`any court or administrative body;
`
`6.
`
`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 37 C.F.R.;
`
`7.
`
`I understand I will be subject to the USPTO Rules of
`
`Professional Conduct set forth in 37 C.F.R. §§ 11.101 et. seq.
`
`and disciplinary jurisdiction under 37 C.F.R. § 11.19(a);
`
`8.
`
`9.
`
`I am familiar with the subject matter at issue in the proceeding.
`
`I have not applied for admission to appear pro hac vice before
`
`the PTO in the past three years.
`
`10.
`
`I am not registered to practice before the PTO, and am seeking
`
`admission only as backup counsel;
`
`11.
`
`I am an attorney in the pending litigation concerning the ’505
`
`Patent that is mentioned in Rapid Completions’ updated
`
`Mandatory Notice;
`
`12.
`
`I have read the ’505 Patent, including the claims, and I have
`
`read the Petition in this IPR proceeding;
`
`13.
`
`I am familiar with the prosecution history of the ’505 Patent.
`
`2
`
`
`
`14.
`
`I have the appropriate technical background for the ’505 Patent.
`
`Notably, I earned a Bachelor’s of Science degree in
`
`mathematics from University of Texas at Austin, and I have
`
`worked at McKool Smith P.C. where I participated in multiple
`
`patent infringement matters.
`
`15. My legal career has focused on patent litigation, and a number
`
`of patents I have litigated have been in the arts of mechanical
`
`engineering and oil and gas technology.
`
`Further, Declarant sayeth not.
`
`I, the above-named Declarant, 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.
