`DECLARATION OF MICHAEL W. SHORE
`IN SUPPORT OF MOTION FOR ADMISSION PRO HAC VICE
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`I, Michael W. Shore, declare as follows:
`
`1.
`
`I am more than twenty-one years of age, competent to present
`
`this affidavit, and have personal knowledge of the facts set forth herein.
`
`2.
`
`3.
`
`I am a partner at the law firm of Shore Chan DePumpo LLP.
`
`I have been litigating patent cases for twenty years.
`
`4. My experience in patent litigation matters includes being lead counsel
`
`in multiple trials, arguing multiple Markman hearings, and many other patent-
`
`related hearings concerning various issues, such as validity and infringement.
`
`5.
`
`I am a member in good standing of the Bar of Texas (admitted 1990),
`
`as well as the following Federal Courts: U.S. District Court for the Eastern
`
`District of Texas, U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, U.S.
`
`District Court for the Southern District of Texas, U.S. District Court for the
`
`Western District of Texas, U.S District Court for New Mexico, Fifth Circuit
`
`Court of Appeals, United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, U.S.
`
`District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas, U.S. District Court for the
`
`Western District of Arkansas, U.S. District Court for the Central District of
`
`California, U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California, U.S.
`
`District Court for the Northern District of California, U.S. District Court for the
`
`District of Delaware, U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Florida, U.S.
`
`District Court for the District of Massachusetts, U.S. District Court for the
`
`2
`
`
`
`
`
`Southern District of New York and U.S. District Court for the Northern District
`
`of New York.
`
`6.
`
`I have never been suspended or disbarred from practice before any
`
`court or administrative body.
`
`7.
`
`No court or administrative body has ever denied my application for
`
`admission to practice before it.
`
`8.
`
`No court or administrative body has imposed sanctions or contempt
`
`citations related to my conduct in my 26-year legal career other than one instance
`
`where I was instructed not to send opposing counsel emails for a limited period
`
`during a hotly contested trial due to the Court's belief that prior emails were not
`
`professional in tone. I do not believe this instruction qualifies as a "sanction" but
`
`include this disclosure nonetheless. If this incident is of concern to the Board, I
`
`am willing to provide a copy of the emails and the transcript of the Court's
`
`instruction during trial.
`
`9.
`
`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 in 37 C.F.R. § 42.
`
`10.
`
`I understand that I will be subject to the USPTO Code of Professional
`
`Responsibility set forth in 37 C.F.R. §§ 10.20 et seq. and disciplinary jurisdiction
`
`under 37 C.F.R. § 11.19(a).
`
`11.
`
`I have previously been granted admission pro hac vice in Mylan
`
`3

`
`
`
`
`Pharmaceuticals Inc. v. St. Regis Mohawk Tribe et al., IPR2016-01127, IPR2016-
`
`01128, IPR2016-01129, IPR2016-01130, IPR2016-01131, and IPR2016-01132. I
`
`have not applied to appear pro hac vice before the Office in any other proceeding
`
`in the last three (3) years.
`
`12.
`
`I currently represent Patent Owner, CyWee Group Ltd. in several
`
`district court proceedings as lead counsel, including: CyWee Group, Ltd. v.
`

`
`and 8,552,978, including their prosecution histories, as well as alleged prior art
`
`and arguments that have been asserted by Petitioner.
