`his experience in patent litigation matters, Mr. Batchelder has been lead counsel in
`
`multiple trials, Markman hearings, patent summary judgment proceedings, and

`
`and infringement issues. Mr. Batchelder has also been recognized as a leading
`
`patent litigation attorney by several different organizations, including The Best
