`DECLARATION OF JEFFREY M. BARRON
`
`
`
`
`
`Declaration of Jeffrey M. Barron
`
`I, Jeffrey M. Barron, hereby declare that:
`
`1.
`
`I am a partner at Barnes & Thornburg LLP. I work closely with
`
`Joshua P. Larsen, USPTO Registration No. 62,761, Lead Counsel for Petitioner,
`
`Google LLC, with respect to the patents involved in and proceedings of IPR2017-
`
`02055, IPR2017-02056, and IPR2017-02059.
`
`2.
`
`I am a member in good standing of the Bars of the States of Indiana
`
`and Illinois. I am also admitted to practice before the Central and Northern
`
`Districts of Illinois, Southern District of Indiana, Western District of Michigan,
`
`Eastern District of Texas, and Eastern District of Wisconsin, as well as the United
`
`States Court of Appeals for the Sixth, Seventh, and Federal Circuits.
`
`3.
`
`I have over 18 years of experience litigating patent cases in various
`
`United States District Courts and Courts of Appeal. My experience includes
`
`several litigation matters involving the fields of telecommunications systems and
`
`components, as well as videoconferencing and imaging systems and components. I
`
`am an experienced patent litigation attorney.
`
`4.
`
`I have never received an imposition of any suspensions or disbarments
`
`from practice before any court or administrative body.
`
`5.
`
`I have never been denied admission for practice before any court or
`
`administrative body.

`

`
`I have never received imposition of any sanctions or contempt
`
`citations by any court or administrative body.
`

`
`I have read and will comply with the Office Trial Practice Guide and

`forth in 37 C.F.R. §§ 11.101 et. seq. and disciplinary jurisdiction under 37 C.F.R. §
`
`11.19(a).
`
`9.
`
`In the last three (3) years, I have not applied to appear pro hac vice in
`
`a proceeding before the Office. I intend to seek appearance, however in each of
`
`the co-pending proceedings of IPR2017-02055, IPR2017-02056, and IPR2017-

`02059.
