`
`
`I, Karineh Khachatourian, declare the following:
`
`Case No. IPR2019-01108
`U.S. Patent No. 9,258,698
`
`
`1.
`
` I am a partner in the law firm of Rimon P.C., working as the
`
`managing partner of the firm’s office in Palo Alto, California.
`
`2.
`
`I am a member in good standing of the California Bar.
`
`3. My California Bar member number is 202634.
`
`4.
`
`I have never been suspended or disbarred from practice before any
`
`court or administrative body.
`
`5.
`
`I have never had a court or administrative body deny my application
`
`for admission to practice.
`
`6.
`
`I have never had any court or administrative body impose sanctions or
`
`contempt citations against me.
`
`7.
`
`I have applied to appear pro hac vice in the following Patent Trial and
`
`Appeal Board (“PTAB”), or United States Patent and Trademark Office
`
`(“USPTO”), proceedings in at least the last three years: IPR2015-01078, IPR2015-
`
`01080, IPR2017-01070, IPR2017-01071, IPR2017-01391, IPR2017-01392,
`
`IPR2017-01393, IPR2017-01405, IPR2017-01406, IPR2017-01409, IPR2017-
`
`01410, IPR2018-00401, and IPR2019-01107.
`
`8.
`
`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 Title
`
`37 of the C.F.R.

`
`
`
`Case No. IPR2019-01108
`U.S. Patent No. 9,258,698
`
`I agree to be subject to the United States Patent and Trademark Office
`
`9.
`
`Code of Professional Responsibility set forth in 37 C.F.R. §§ 10.20 et seq., the
`
`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).
`
`10.
`
`I am an experienced litigation attorney, with over twenty years of
`
`experience in many patent infringement litigations in District Courts across the
`
`country, including experience with fact and expert document and deposition
`
`discovery, claim construction, Markman hearings, motion practice, and trials and
`
`hearings. I have represented Petitioner GoPro, Inc. (“GoPro” or “Petitioner”) in
`
`patent litigation and IPR matters for approximately six years.
`
`11.
`
`I have been lead counsel for Petitioner GoPro, Inc. in the ongoing
`
`litigation captioned Cellspin Soft, Inc., v. GoPro Inc., Case No. 4:17-cv-05939
`
`(N.D. Cal.) (filed Mar. 2, 2018) (“the co-pending litigation”) since its inception
`
`and have been actively involved in all aspects of the co-pending litigation, which
`
`relates to and involves the same patent at issue in this proceeding. I am familiar
`
`with the subject matter of the claimed invention and was involved in a validity
`
`challenge at the district court level based on 35 U.S.C. § 101 (“Section 101”). I
`
`have also been involved in Cellspin’s appeal of the district court order invalidating
`
`the patent at issue based on Section 101. Moreover, Petitioner has hired me to
`
`represent it in this Petition because of my litigation and PTAB experience. I also
`
`
`

`
`GoPro/Garmin
`EX. 1022, Page 3
`
`
`
`participated in the preparation of GoPro’s Petition, and I am familiar with the prior
`
`Case No. IPR2019-01108
`U.S. Patent No. 9,258,698
`
`
`art references based on that preparation.
`
`12. Attached as Exhibit A is a true and correct copy of an email exchange
`
`I had with John Edmonds, counsel for Patent Owner, wherein he stated that
`
`Cellspin does not oppose my application.
`
`13.
`
`I hereby declare that all statements herein of my own knowledge are
`
`true and that all statements made on information and belief are believed to be true;
`
`and further that these statements are made with the knowledge that willful false
`
`statements and the like are punishable by fine, imprisonment, or both, under
`
`Section 1001 of Title 18 of the United States Code.
`
`Dated: July 15, 2019
`

`
`
`Respectfully Submitted,

`
`Hello:
`
`We plan on filing my pro hac vice application in the Panasonic IPR. I presume there is no opposition, but please let me
