`
`BEFORE THE PATENT TRIAL AND APPEAL BOARD
`
`RESHAPE MEDICAL LLC
`
`Petitioner,
`
`v.
`
`FULFILLIUM, INC.
`
`Patent Owner.
`
`Case No. IPR2018-00958
`
`U.S. Patent No. 9,445,930
`
`DECLARATION OF W. COOK ALCIATI
`
`1
`
`Fulfillium Exhibit 2017, Page 1
`ReShape v. Fulfillium
`Case IPR2018-00958
`
`
`
`I, W. Cook Alciati, declare and state as follows:
`
`1.
`
`I am attorney at law duly licensed in the State of New York. I intend
`
`to seek admission in this proceeding pro hac vice after conferring with counsel for
`
`Petitioner. I make this declaration based upon my personal knowledge.
`
`2.
`
`On August 14, 2018, I met and conferred with Petitioner’s counsel,
`
`Messrs. Bolten and Pisano. During that meet and confer, Petitioner’s counsel did
`
`not suggest that its failure to name ReShape Lifesciences, Inc. was a mistake or
`
`typographical error. Instead, Petitioner counsel bristled at the notion that ReShape
`
`Lifesciences is a real party in interest and asserted that Patent Owner’s arguments to
`
`the contrary were based on rank speculation. Petitioner counsel further indicated
`
`that Patent Owner’s real party in interest argument was without merit because the
`
`one-year time bar under 35 U.S.C. § 315(b) was reset when the United States District
`
`Court for the Central District of California dismissed Patent Owner’s complaint
`
`without prejudice for lack of standing.
`
`I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct to the
`
`best of my knowledge.
