`
`1.

`
`San Francisco, California 94111, which has been retained by Patent Owner
`
`Rosetta-Wireless Corporation in this inter partes review.
`

`
`I make this affidavit in support of Patent Owner’s application for my
`
`admission pro hac vice.
`
`3.
`
`I am a member in good standing of the bars in California and New
`
`York. I am a member in good standing, in inactive status, of the bar of
`
`Mississippi. I am also duly admitted and authorized to practice law before the
`

`
`4.
`
`I have not had any application denied for admission to practice, nor
`
`
`
`have I been sanctioned, cited for contempt, suspended or disbarred from practice,
`
`before any court or administrative body.
`
`5.
`
`If admitted pro hac vice in this matter, I will serve as counsel with
`
`Miranda Y. Jones and Michael F. Heim of the law firm of Heim, Payne &
`
`Chorush, L.L.P. Ms. Jones is lead counsel on this case and is registered to practice
`
`before the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”).
`
`6.
`
`I understand that, upon admission pro hac vice, I will be subject to the
`
`USPTO Rules of Professional Conduct set forth in 37 C.F.R. §§ 11.101 et seq. and
`
`to disciplinary jurisdiction under 37 C.F.R. § 11.19(a).
`
`7.
`
`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 the C.F.R.
`
`8.
`
`I hereby agree to notify the Board immediately of any matter affecting
`
`my standing at the bar of any other Court.
`
`9.
`
`I have applied to appear pro hac vice before the Office in the last
`
`three years in Apple Inc., Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., and Samsung Electronics
`
`America, Inc., Petitioner, v. Rosetta-Wireless Corporation, Patent Owner
`
`(IPR2016-00616) and in Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., Samsung Electronics
`
`America, Inc., and Apple Inc., Petitioners, v. Rosetta-Wireless Corporation, Patent
`
`Owner. (IPR 2016-00622), proceedings concerning the same patent at issue.
`
`10.
`
`I have an established familiarity with the subject matter at issue in this
`1
`
`
`
`
`
`proceeding, having represented Patent Owner as lead counsel in District Court
`
`proceedings involving the same technology (Rosetta-Wireless Corp. v. Apple Inc.
`
`et al., Lead Case No. 15-cv-00799, (N.D. Ill) and Rosetta-Wireless Corp. v. LG
`
`Electronics Co. and LG Electronics USA Inc., No. 15-cv-10608, (N.D. Ill)). I have
`
`carefully studied the patent-in-suit, including its prosecution history, and have
`
`conducted many interviews with the inventors regarding their invention, the
`
`prosecution history and the patent. I am intimately familiar with the positions
`
`taken by the petitioners and the other defendants in the above litigation, and have
`
`provided counsel to the inventors in connection with litigation involving a foreign
`
`counterpart in the United Kingdom. More generally, I am an experienced patent
`
`litigator, having litigated dozens of patent infringement cases, for both plaintiffs
`
`and defendants, at both the district court and Federal Circuit levels. I have, for
`
`example, served as lead trial and appellate counsel for the Australian national
`
`science agency, Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation,
`
`including in the currently pending CSIRO v. Cisco, Eastern District of Texas Case
`
`No. 6-11-cv-343.
`
`11.
`
`I hereby respectfully request that the Board grant Patent Owner
`
`Rosetta-Wireless Corporation’s application to permit me to appear and participate
`
`pro hac vice in this proceeding.
`
`12.
`
`I understand that willful false statements and the like are punishable
`2
`
`
`
`
`
`by fine or imprisonment, or both, under 18 U.S.C. § 1001, and may jeopardize the
`
`validity of the application or any patent issuing thereon. I declare under penalty of
`
`perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.
