`DECLARATION OF ANDREW J. DANFORD IN SUPPORT OF
`MOTION FOR ADMISSION PRO HAC VICE
`
`Genentech 2038
`Pfizer v. Genentech
`IPR2017-01489
`
`
`
`
`
`
`I, Andrew J. Danford, declare as follows:
`
`Case No. IPR2017-01489
`Danford Declaration
`
`1.
`
`I was admitted to the Massachusetts Bar in January of 2009 and the New
`
`York Bar in August of 2010 and have been practicing law for over 7 years.
`
`During the entire time that I have been practicing law, my practice has
`
`focused on the field of intellectual property, and particularly, patent
`
`litigation.
`
`2.
`
`I am a member in good standing of the Massachusetts and New York Bars,
`
`and am admitted to practice before the United States District Court for the
`
`District of Massachusetts, the United States Court of Appeals for the First
`
`Circuit, and the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
`
`3. My New York Bar membership number is 4855318. My Massachusetts Bar
`
`membership number is 672342.
`
`4.
`
`Over the course of my career, I have been counsel in numerous patent
`
`litigations. Several of these cases have concerned Patent Office rules and
`
`regulations. For example, I represented Cephalon, Inc. in Apotex Inc. v.
`
`Cephalon, Inc., No. 12-1417 (Fed. Cir.).
`
`5.
`
`I have never been suspended or disbarred from practice before any court or
`
`administrative body.

`
`
`
`
`

`
`Case No. IPR2017-01489
`Danford Declaration
`
`I have never had a court or administrative body deny my application for
`
`admission to practice.
`
`7.
`
`I have never had any sanctions or contempt citations imposed on me by any
`
`court or administrative body.
`
`8.
`
`I have read and will comply with Office Patent Trial Practice Guide and the
`
`Board’s Rules of Practice for Trials, as set forth in 37 C.F.R. Part 42.
`
`9.
`
`I agree to be subject to the United States Patent and Trademark Office Rules
`
`of Professional Conduct set forth in 37 C.F.R. §§ 11.101 et seq. and
`
`disciplinary jurisdiction under 37 C.F.R. § 11.19(a).
`
`10. I represent Patent Owner Genentech, Inc. in a number of pending IPR
`
`proceedings, including IPR2017-00731 (pro hac vice filed June 8, 2017;
`
`institution denied July 27, 2017, request for rehearing filed August 25,
