`
`other patent-related motion practice, hearings and proceedings. In addition, l have

`participated in patent trials in several different venues, including the Northern

`presenting and cross-examining lay and expert witnesses.

`I have an established familiarity with U.S. Patent No. 8,265,096 (“the
`
`’096 Patent”) and the subject matter of this inter partes review proceeding. I have

`
`captioned UNM Rainforest Innovations v. Dell Technologies Inc. et al., No. 6:20-
`
`cv-00468 (W.D. Tex.) (“the Dell litigation”), which also involves the ’096 Patent.
