`
`
`1 HTC Corporation, HTC America, Inc., ZTE Corporation, and ZTE (USA), Inc. filed a petition
`in (now terminated) IPR2017-01081, and have been joined to the instant proceeding.
`
`
`
`IPR2016-01493
`Patent 8,457,676
`I, Jonathan H. Rastegar, make the following declaration based on my own
`
`personal knowledge and, if called to testify before the Board, could and would
`
`testify as follows:
`
` I am an attorney at the law firm Bragalone Conroy PC, located at
`
`Chase Tower, 2200 Ross Avenue, Suite 4500W, Dallas, Texas 75201.
`
` I am a member in good standing of the Texas State Bar.
`
` I have never been subject to any suspensions or disbarments from
`
`practice before any court or administrative body.
`
` None of my applications for admission to practice before any court or
`
`administrative body has ever been denied.
`
` I have never been sanctioned nor had contempt citations imposed by
`
`any court or administrative body.
`
` 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 37
`
`C.F.R. pt. 42.
`
` 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).
`
` This is my first application to appear pro hac vice in a proceeding
`
`before the Board.
`
`
`
`IPR2016-01493
`Patent 8,457,676
` I have familiarity with the subject matter at issue in this proceeding. I
`
`have represented Cellular Communications Equipment LLC (“CCE”)
`
`in a number of pending matters before the U.S. District Court for the
`
`Eastern District of Texas, which include litigations involving U.S.
`
`Patent No. 8,457,676 from final written decisions in inter partes
`
`review proceedings before the Board. See, e.g., Cellular
`
`Communications Equipment LLC v. AT&T Inc., et al., C.A. No. 2:15-
`
`cv-576 (E.D. Tex. 2015) (asserting U.S. Patent No. 8,457,676);
`
`Cellular Communications Equipment LLC v. HTC Corp., et al., C.A.
`
`No. 2:17-cv-078 (E.D. Tex. 2017) (asserting U.S. Patent No.
`
`8,457,676); Cellular Communications Equipment LLC v. ZTE Corp.,
`
`et al., C.A. No. 2:17-cv-079 (E.D. Tex. 2017) (asserting U.S. Patent
`
`No. 8,457,676). As counsel for CCE, I have become very familiar
`
`with patents that cover technology that is similar to the technology at
`
`issue in this proceeding (e.g., cellular telephone systems). Further, I
`
`assisted in the development of arguments in support of the Patent
`
`Owner’s Response and Preliminary Response in this matter, including
`
`spending time preparing and reviewing the filings themselves.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`IPR2016-01493
`Patent 8,457,676
`I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.
`
`Executed this 30th day of October, 2017.
