`
`

`EXHIBIT 2007
`
`
`
`
`
`I, Cecil E. Key, declare as follows:
`
`1. My name is Cecil E. Key, and my professional address is 1750
`
`Tysons Blvd., Suite 1500, Tysons Corner, Virginia. I am over the age of 18,
`
`and I make this declaration based on my personal knowledge.
`
`2.
`
`I am an attorney licensed and admitted
`
`to practice in
`
`the
`
`Commonwealth of Virginia, and the District of Columbia, where I have been
`
`admitted since 1996 and 1997, respectively. I am a member in good standing of
`
`both the Virginia Bar and the Bar of the District of Columbia. I practice in the field
`
`of intellectual property, including patent litigation, and have done so for over
`
`twenty (20) years.
`
`3.
`
`I am admitted to practice before the Courts of Appeal for the First,
`
`Fourth and Federal Circuits, the United States District Courts for the Eastern
`
`District of Virginia, the District of Columbia and the District of Colorado, and all
`
`state courts in Virginia and the District of Columbia. I have also been admitted to
`
`practice and have appeared pro hac vice before, among others, the United States
`
`District Courts for the District of Massachusetts, the Southern and Western Districts
`
`of New York, the Southern District of California, the District of Maryland, the
`
`District of Delaware and the Eastern and Western Districts of Texas.
`
`4.
`
`I have also appeared before the United States International Trade
`
`Commission, and have practiced and continue to practice regarding trademark
`
`2
`
`EXHIBIT 2007
`
`
`
`
`
`matters before the United States Patent and Trademark Office, and the
`
`Trademark Trial and Appeal Board.
`
`5.
`
`I am a member of the American Bar Association and the American
`
`Intellectual Property Law Association.
`
`6.
`
`I have extensive experience in litigating patent infringement
`
`matters. I have been litigating patent infringement cases since my admission to
`
`the bar in 1996. I have served as lead counsel in such cases, including recent
`
`cases in the Eastern District of Texas and the District of Delaware, and have
`
`appeared before the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit numerous times
`
`regarding appeals in patent infringement cases.
`
`7.
`
`I have never been suspended, disbarred, sanctioned or cited for
`
`contempt by any court or administrative body.
`
`8.
`
`I have never had a court or administrative body deny my
`
`application for admission to practice.
`
`9.
`
`I have read and will comply with the Office Patent Trial Practice
`
`Guide and the Board’s Rules of Practice for Trials, as set forth in Part 42 of the
`
`C.F.R.
`
`10.
`
`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).
`

`
`EXHIBIT 2007
`
`
`
`
`
`11.
`
`I have previously been granted admission pro hac vice in the
`
`matter of Salesforce.com, Inc. v. VirtualAgility Inc., CBM2013-00024 and
`
`participated in trial in that matter before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board. I
`
`have not applied to appear pro hac vice before the Office in any other
`
`proceeding in the last three (3) years.
`
`12.
`
`I am familiar with the subject matter at issue in this proceeding. I
`
`served as lead counsel to Vilox in the following matters in which the Vilox
`
`patents were asserted: Vilox Technologies LLC v. The Priceline Group, Inc., et
`
`al., No. 2:15-cv-01460 (E.D. Tex.); Vilox Technologies LLC v. Orbitz
`
`Worldwide, Inc., et al., No. 2:15-cv-01459 (E.D. Tex.); Vilox Technologies LLC

`v. Expedia, Inc. et al., No. 2:15-cv-01457 (E.D. Tex.); Vilox Technologies LLC

`
`v. Costco Wholesale Corp., No. 2:15-cv-02019 (E.D. Tex.); and Vilox
`
`Technologies LLC v. Mindgeek USA, Inc., 2:16-cv-01278 (E.D. Tex.). I have
`
`also represented Vilox in patent license negotiations regarding its patent
`
`portfolio.
`
`13. As a result, I have read and am familiar with the patent at issue in
`
`this proceeding and its file history, as well as the prior art and other arguments
`
`that have been asserted by petitioner.
`
`14.
`
`I declare, under penalty of perjury pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1746,
`
`4
`
`EXHIBIT 2007
`
`
`
`
`
`
`

`
`made on information and belief are believed to be true.
