`
`I, Antonio Sistos, being duly sworn and upon oath, hereby attest to the
`
`following:
`
`1.

`
`I am a member in good standing of the Bar of the State of California.
`
`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.
`
`No sanctions or contempt citations have been imposed against me by
`
`any court or administrative body.
`
`5.
`
`I have read and will 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.
`
`6.
`
`I will be subject to the USPTO Rules of Professional Conduct set

`

`
`This is my first appearance pro hac vice before the Board.

`
`Patent No. 9,055,104, the patent at issue in this proceeding, (ii) the prior art relied
`
`upon by Petitioner, (iii) the legal and factual arguments made by Petitioner in both
`
`its Petition for inter partes review and in the supporting declaration of Dr. Horst
`
`(Ex. 1003), as well as the legal and factual arguments addressed by Alacritech in
`
`its Patent Owner Response, and (iv) the developments and relevant briefs in this

`
`I am counsel for Patent Owner Alacritech, Inc. (“Alacritech”), which
`

`Wistron et al., No. 2:16-cv-00692, and Alacritech v. CenturyLink et al., No. 2:16-
`
`cv-00693), in which the subject patent of this proceeding, U.S. Patent No.

`proceeding as a result of his representation of Alacritech in the related litigation,

`including the alleged prior art that Petitioner presents in this proceeding, as well as
`
`issues of claim construction.
