`
`
`
`1.
`
`I, Michael B. Cottler, am more than twenty-one years of age, am
`
`competent to present this declaration, and have personal knowledge of the facts
`
`set forth herein.
`
`2.
`
`This declaration is given in support of Petitioner West-Ward
`
`Pharmaceuticals International Limited’s (“Petitioner” or “West-Ward”) Motion
`
`for Pro Hac Vice Admission.
`
`3.
`
`I am a partner at the law firm of Goodwin Procter LLP, in the
`
`firm’s New York office.
`
`4.
`
`I have been a patent litigation attorney for more than eleven years.
`
`A significant portion of my work has involved biological and chemical arts, with
`
`particular emphasis on pharmaceuticals. Since I began practicing law, I have
`
`been involved in numerous cases involving patent validity and infringement, in
`
`District Courts and before the Federal Circuit. I also have extensive experience
`
`in bench trials. I have also been involved in several inter partes review
`
`proceedings, although I have never made a pro hac appearance in one. In view
`
`of the above, I am an experienced litigating attorney.
`
`5.
`
`I am a member in good standing of the State Bars of Connecticut
`
`and New York. I am also admitted to the United States District Court for the
`
`Eastern and Southern Districts of New York, and United States Court of Appeals
`
`
`
`1
`
`West-Ward Pharm.
`Exhibit 1162
`Page 002
`
`
`
`for the Federal Circuit. I have never been suspended or disbarred from practice
`
`before any court or administrative body.
`
`6.
`
`No court or administrative body has ever denied my application for
`
`admission to practice before it.
`
`7.
`
`No court or administrative body has ever imposed sanctions or
`
`contempt citations on me.
`
`8.
`
`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.
`
`9.
`
`I understand that I will be subject to the Office’s 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 have an established familiarity with the subject matter at issue in
`
`this proceeding. First, I was substantively involved in the district court litigation
`
`filed against West-Ward involving, among other things, the challenged patent
`
`here, U.S. Patent 8,410,131 (“the ’131 patent”), and am involved in the appeal of
`
`the decision arising out of that case. Second, I have reviewed and understand all
`
`filings in IPR2017-01592 and IPR2018-00507.
`
`11.
`
`I hereby declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the
`
`
`
`2
`
`West-Ward Pharm.
`Exhibit 1162
`Page 003
`
`
`
`United States of America that the foregoing is true and correct to the best of my
`
`knowledge.
