`
`I, Robert Vlasis, am over eighteen years of age and would be competent to

`
`Courts, and before the Federal Circuit and the U.S. International Trade
`
`Commission. My biography is attached hereto as Ex. 1099.
`
`2.
`
`I am familiar with the subject matter at issue in this proceeding. I am
`
`counsel for Petitioner in the co-pending litigation Novartis Pharma AG, et al., v.
`
`Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc., N.D.N.Y., C.A. No. 3:20-cv-00690, in which
`
`U.S. Patent No. 9,220,631 was asserted in the complaint. I have been intimately
`
`involved with the subject matter at issue since the outset of these proceedings and
`
`the co-pending litigation.
`
`3.
`
`I am a member in good standing of the state bar of Texas, the District
`
`of Columbia, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, and the
`
`United States Supreme Court.
`
`4.
`
`I have not been suspended or disbarred from practice before any court
`
`or administrative body.

`
`
`
`5.
`
`I have never had an application for admission to practice before any
`
`court or administrative body denied.
`
`6.
`
`No sanction or contempt citation has been imposed against me by
`
`any court or administrative body.
`
`7.
`
`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 part 42 of 37 C.F.R.
`
`8.
`
`I will be subject to the USPTO 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).
`
`9.
`
`Within the last three years, I have been admitted pro hac vice before
`
`the Patent Trial and Appeal Board in IPR2018-01670, -01675, -01676, -01678,
`
`-01679, -01680, -01682, -01684, and IPR2019-00122.
