`
`I am a partner with the law firm of Goodwin Procter LLP.
`
`I am an experienced litigation attorney. I have been litigating patent
`
`cases for nearly nineteen years. I have been practicing law since 1997 and have
`
`extensive experience litigating patent infringement cases in many different courts
`
`across the United States.
`
`5.
`
`My experience in patent litigation matters includes patent jury trials,
`
`including opening statements, closing arguments, presentation of non-expert and
`
`expert—testimony, arguing Markman hearings, patent summary judgment
`
`proceedings, and other patent-related hearings and pleadings concerning, inter alia,
`
`patent validity and infringement issues. I have also represented clients’ appeals
`
`before the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit resulting from cases I tried and
`
`in other cases.
`
`6.
`
`I have an established familiarity with the subject matter at issue in this
`
`proceeding. I have reviewed the Petition and accompanying exhibits filed in this
`
`proceeding and all other papers associated with this proceeding. As part of this

`proceeding, I have studied U.S. Patent 9,095,559 (“the ’559 patent”).
`
`I am also

`counsel of record in litigation in which the ’559 patent, as well as patents related to
`
`the ’559 patent, and other patents owned by Horizon Therapeutics, Inc. relating to
`
`methods of using glyceryl tri—[4—phenylbutyrate] to treat subjects with urea cycle
`
`disorders are being asserted. Horizon Therapeutics, Inc. v. Lupin Ltd., l—l5—cv-

`07624, l—l6—cv-04438(D.N.J.) (currently stayed).
`

`
`I am a member in good standing of the Bar of the State of New York
`
`and am admitted to practice before the United States District Court for the
`
`Southern District of New York and the United States Court of Appeals for the
`
`Federal Circuit.
`
`8.
`
`I have never been suspended or disbarred from practice before any
`
`court or administrative body.
`
`9.
`
`No application of mine for admission to practice before any court or
`
`administrative body has ever been denied.
`
`10. No sanctions or contempt citations have been imposed against me by
`
`any court or administrative body.
`
`ll.
`
`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.
