`I am a litigation attorney who has been involved in multiple patent
`
`infringement cases in federal district courts. I have experience in various aspects
`
`of patent infringement matters and have participated in multiple patent cases in
`
`federal courts. I serve as trial counsel for Petitioner in patent litigation against
`
`Patent Owner concerning the patent challenged by the Petition. See Abraxis
`
`Bioscience, LLC et al. v. Actavis LLC, No. 2:16-cv-01925-JMV-MF (D.N.J.). As a
`
`result of my involvement as trial counsel for 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.
`
`I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.
