`I, Stephen M. Ullmer, am more than twenty-one years of age, am
`
`1.
`
`competent to present this affidavit, and have personal knowledge of the facts
`
`below.
`
`2.
`

`
`This affidavit supports Petitioner’s motion for pro hac vice admission.
`
`I am an associate at the law firm Greenberg Traurig, LLP.
`
`I have been a litigating attorney for more than five years. I have been
`
`litigating patent cases for more than five years.
`
`5.
`
`I am a member in good standing in the bar of California, several U.S.
`
`District Courts, and the U.S. Court of Appeals 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 the C.F.R.
`
`9.
`
`I agree
`
`to be subject
`
`to
`
`the USPTO Code of Professional
`
`Responsibility set forth in 37 C.F.R. §§ 11.101 et seq. and disciplinary jurisdiction
`
`under 37 C.F.R. § 11.19(a).

`
`in IPR2017-00770, IPR2017-01193, IPR2018-00114, and IPR2017-02137 for
`
`which the cases was terminated prior to a decision. I have also applied to appear
`

`
`not applied to appear pro hac vice in any other proceedings before the Office in the
`
`last three (3) years.
`
`11.
`
`I have a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering and have
`
`personally reviewed the patent-at-issue, the Petition, and the accompanying
`
`exhibits. I also have reviewed various filings from the underlying litigation
`
`including the claim construction briefing and Markman Order. Through my
`
`experience and analysis of the aforementioned documents, I have acquired
`
`substantial understanding of the underlying technological issues at stake in these
`
`proceedings.
`
`12. My practice focuses on intellectual property issues, and I have an
`
`established familiarity with the legal issues involved in these proceedings based on
`
`my five years of experience litigating patents.
`
`13.
`
`I declare that all statements made herein of my own knowledge are
`
`true and that all statements made on information and belief are believed to be true;
