`
`
`
`
`
`I, Korula T. Cherian, declare as follows:
`
`1.
`
`I am a legal resident of the United States of America over the age of
`
`eighteen.
`
`2.
`
`3.
`
`I am a member in good standing of the Bar of the State of California.
`
`I have never been suspended or disbarred from practice before any
`
`court or administrative body.
`
`4.
`
`I have never had an application for admission to practice before any
`
`court or administrative body denied.
`
`5.
`
`I have had no sanctions or contempt citations imposed against me by
`
`any court or administrative body.
`
`6.
`
`I am a partner at the law firm of RuyakCherian LLP. I have over
`
`twenty-five (25) years of experience in patent litigation.
`
`7.
`
`I have read and agree to comply with the Office Patent Trial Practice
`
`Guide and the Board’s Rules of Practice for Trials set forth in part 42 of 37 C.F.R.
`
`I understand that I will be subject to the USPTO Rules of Profession Conduct set
`
`forth in 37 C.F.R. §§ 11.101 et. seq. and disciplinary jurisdiction under 37 C.R.F. §
`
`11.19(a).
`
`
`
`8.
`
`Concurrent with this application, I am applying to appear pro hac vice
`
`in two other inter partes review proceedings before the United States Patent and
`
`Trademark Office (“Office”) involving U.S. Patent Nos. 5,590,403 and 5,915,210

`Juniper Ex 1020
`Juniper v MTel
`IPR2017-00640
`
`
`
`
`
`(IPR2017-00642 and IPR2017-00637 respectively). Otherwise, I have not applied
`
`to appear pro hac vice in any other proceeding before the Office in the last (3)
`
`years.
`
`
`
`9.
`
`I am lead counsel for Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. and
`
`Ruckus Wireless, Inc. (collectively, “Petitioners”) in concurrent multi-district
`
`litigation in the District of Delaware (Civil Action Nos. 1:16-cv-697-LPS-CJB and
`
`1:16-cv-699-LPS-CJB respectively, collectively “Concurrent Litigation”)
`
`involving the patent-at-issue in this proceeding, U.S. Patent No. 5,659,891 Patent
`
`(“’891 Patent”).
`
`
`
`10.
`
`I am familiar with the subject matter of this proceeding as I have been
`
`actively involved in all aspects of the Concurrent Litigation, including the
`
`development of Petitioners’ invalidity positions regarding the claims of the ‘891
`
`Patent being challenged in this proceeding. I have also served in an advisory
`
`capacity in this proceeding. As such, I am familiar with the specific prior art
`
`references submitted with the petition, along with the filings and actions in this
`
`proceeding.
`
`
`
`11.
`
`I hereby declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United
`
`States of America that the foregoing is true and correct, and that all statements
`
`made of my own knowledge are true and that all statements made on information
`
`
