`Introduction and Qualifications
`
`1.
`
`I, Timothy D. Dorney, submit the following sworn declaration in
`
`IPR2016-00754 in support of the validity of U.S. Patent No. 8,559,635 (“ ’635
`
`patent”). I am an employee of Patent Owner, Personalized Media
`
`Communications, L.L.C. (“PMC”).
`
`2.
`
`I am currently the Vice President - Intellectual Property of PMC.
`
`where I am responsible for both licensing and litigation support.
`
`3.
`
`I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering from
`
`Texas A&M University, a Master of Science in Electrical Engineering and Applied
`
`Physics from Case Western Reserve University, and Ph.D. in Electrical and
`
`Computer Engineering from Rice University. My doctoral thesis was focused on a
`
`signal processing and imaging techniques in the THz spectrum.
`
`4.
`
`I have nearly 10 years of experience working in product development,
`
`design, and advanced architecture of semiconductor memories. I’ve worked as
`
`both a product development engineer and design engineer in video RAM
`
`development, an IC design engineer in application specific DRAM design, and as a
`
`circuits center of expertise engineer in memory products design at Texas
`
`Instruments Incorporated.

`
`I have over seven years of experience in circuit and product design of
`
`small wattage AC/DC converters and LED lighting systems as President of my
`
`own company.
`
`6.
`
`I am licensed to practice before the United States Patent & Trademark
`
`Office as a patent agent and I have ample experience drafting and prosecuting
`
`patent applications in various technologies, with an emphasis in technical fields
`
`including memory, analog circuits, processors, and digital systems. I am a named
`
`inventor on at least seven U.S. patents and have authored numerous journal and
`
`conference papers.

`
`A copy of my curriculum vitae is attached as Exhibit 2129.
`
`Motion to Amend
`
`8.
`
`I have been informed and understand that if the Patent Trial and
`
`Appeal Board (“Board”) should accept the Petitioner’s arguments and cancel any
`
`of the issued ’635 patent claims as unpatentable, PMC has made a contingent
`
`motion to amend to substitute the canceled claim(s) with corresponding proposed
`
`substitute claims 34-40.
`
`9.
`
`I have reviewed all relevant papers and exhibits in connection with
`
`IPR2016-00754, including PMC’s Contingent Motion to Amend filed concurrently
`
`herewith.
`
`a. The Proposed Substitute Claims are Supported by the Written
`Description of the Parent Application

`
`

`

`10.
`
`I have been informed and understand that to amend the claims, the
`
`Patent Owner must show, among other things, that the substitute claims are
`
`supported by the written description of the original disclosure of the patent, as well
`
`as any patent application to which the claim seeks the benefit of priority.
`
`11. To satisfy the written description requirement, I have been informed
`
`and understand that the substitute claims must be disclosed in sufficient detail such
`
`that a POSA can clearly conclude that the inventor invented the claimed invention
`
`as of the filing date sought.
`
`12. The proposed substitute claims of the ’635 patent are included below:

`
`13.
`
`It is my understanding that the ’635 Patent, and it’s U.S. Application
`
`Serial No. 08/449,413 (“ ’413 application”) (Ex. 2135), is a continuation-in-part
`
`claiming priority to U.S. Application No. 06/317,510 (“ ’510 application”) (Ex.
`
`2050). I have reviewed the ’510 and ‘413 applications and it is my opinion that a
`
`Person of Ordinary Skill in the Art (“POSA”) reading the ’510 and ‘413
`
`applications would have understood that the inventors of the ’635 patent, Mr.
`
`PMC Exhibit 2207
`Apple v. PMC
`IPR2016-01520
`Page 8
`
`

`

`Harvey et al., would have been in possession of the invention as recited in the
`
`substitute claims.
`
`14. Each limitation of the substitute claims is disclosed in the ’510 and
`
`‘413 applications. Support for the proposed substitute ’635 patent claims is shown
`
`below:
