`
`
`
`
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 1.68, I, Beth D. Jacob, attest to the following:
`
`1.
`
`I am a member in good standing of the New York Bar, and am
`
`admitted to practice in the following Federal Courts:
`
`a.
`
`b.
`
`c.
`
`d.

`
`2.
`
`I have not been suspended or disbarred from practice before any court
`
`or administrative body.
`
`3.
`
`I have never had an application for admission to practice before any
`
`court or administrative body denied.
`
`4.
`

`
`or administrative body imposed against me.

`Exhibit 1013
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`6.
`
`I agree to be subject to the USPTO Code of Professional
`
`Responsibility 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 not applied to appear pro hac vice in the last three years in any
`
`matter before the Board.
`
`8.
`
`I am an experienced litigation attorney and have been involved in
`
`numerous patent infringement cases in federal courts across the country. I have
`
`over three decades of litigation experience, including over two-dozen trials. I have
`
`experience in various aspects of patent infringement matters including trials,
`
`Markman hearings and summary judgment hearings. I have argued in multiple
`
`patent cases in federal courts. I serve as trial counsel for the Petitioner in patent
`
`litigation brought against the Petitioner by Patent Owner concerning the patent
`
`challenged by the Petition. See WAG Acquisition, LLC v. Sobonito Investments,
`
`Ltd. et al., Case No. 2:14-cv-1661-ES-JAD (D.N.J.)). As a result of my
`
`involvement as trial counsel for the Petitioner in the co-pending district court
`
`litigation over the involved patent, I have obtained substantial familiarity with the
`
`involved patent, the prior art, and the various issues raised in this proceeding. I
`
`have reviewed the Petition, and the cited materials, and am familiar with the
`
`subject matter involved in this proceeding.
