`
`
`
`1.
`
`I am a Partner in the law firm Feinberg Day Alberti & Thompson LLP. Lead
`
`counsel in this inter partes review proceeding is Andrew S. Ehmke, who is a
`
`Partner in the law firm Haynes and Boone, LLP, and is registered to practice
`
`before the USPTO and holds Registration No. 50,271. With respect to this
`
`proceeding, I will work closely with Mr. Ehmke.
`
`2.
`
`I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree in History from the University of California
`
`at San Diego. I hold a Juris Doctor degree from the University of California,
`
`Hastings College of Law.
`
`3.
`
`I have nearly 15 years of experience as a litigation attorney who specializes
`
`in patent litigation and represents clients in patent litigation matters in
`
`various United States District Courts and before the International Trade
`
`Commission. My experience includes several matters in the electrical and
`
`computer science arts, and I have particular experience relevant to the
`
`technological and legal matters at issue in this proceeding. I am, therefore,
`
`an experienced patent litigation attorney with particular expertise that is
`
`pertinent to this proceeding. Apple desires, and has a need, to be represented
`
`in certain aspects of these proceedings by an experienced patent litigation
`
`attorney who has particular expertise that is relevant to the issues in this
`
`proceeding.
