`Attorney Docket: 49335-0002IP1
`
`
`I, Jeffrey Shneidman, hereby attest to the following:
`
`
`
`
`
`1.
`
`I am a litigation attorney with the law firm of Fish & Richardson P.C. I
`
`represent Configit A/S (“Configit”).
`
`2.
`
`I am a member in good standing of the State Bar of Massachusetts and have
`
`been since 2011. My Massachusetts State Bar number is 681612. I have practiced
`
`before multiple federal courts, and am admitted to practice in the United States
`
`District Court for the District of Massachusetts and the United States District Court
`
`for the Eastern District of Michigan, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit,
`
`and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
`
`3.
`
`I have not been suspended or disbarred from practice before any court or
`
`administrative body.
`
`4.
`
`I have never had an application for admission to practice before any court or
`
`administrative body denied.
`
`5.
`
`No sanction or contempt citation has been imposed against me by any court
`
`or administrative body.
`
`6.
`
`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 the Code of Federal
`
`Regulations 32.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`2
`
`
`
`
`
`I will be subject to the USPTO Rules of Professional Conduct set forth in 37
`
`Proceeding No.: IPR2021-01055
`Attorney Docket: 49335-0002IP1
`
`
`7.
`
`C.F.R. §§ 11.101 et seq. and disciplinary jurisdiction under 37 C.F.R. § 11.19(a).
`
`8.
`
`I am an experienced litigation attorney who has represented clients in patent
`
`litigation cases involving computer science including patents such as the subject
`
`matter at issue in this inter partes review. For example, I have represented clients
`
`in such computer science patent litigation proceedings in: ByteDance Inc. v. Triller,
`
`Inc., 20-cv-07572 (N.D. Cal.); American Well Corp. v. Teladoc, Inc., 15-cv-12274,
`
`Carl Zeiss AG v. Nikon Inc., 17-cv-07083 (C.D. Cal.); and Carl Zeiss AG v. Nikon
`
`Inc., 337-TA-1059 (I.T.C.). I regularly litigate such cases as part of my practice at
`
`Fish & Richardson, P.C.
`
`9.
`
`Prior to my career as a lawyer, I trained as an electrical engineer and computer
`
`scientist, and have scientific and technical knowledge related to the patent in this
`
`inter partes review. I received my B.S. in Electrical Engineering and Computer
`
`Science from the University of California at Berkeley in 1999, and my Ph.D. in
`
`Computer Science from Harvard University in 2008.
`
`10.
`
`I am intimately familiar with the issues and subject matter presented in this
`
`above-captioned inter partes review proceeding. For example, I have extensively
`
`reviewed the above identified patent, its prosecution history, the Petition for IPR
`
`(including the invalidity grounds therein, and the cited references) and all exhibits
`
`filed in this case.
`
`
`
`
`

`
`
`
`
`
`
`11. Configit has identified me in Petitioner’s Power of Attorney as one of the
`
`Proceeding No.: IPR2021-01055

`
`attorneys that Configit would like to represent Configit in this inter partes review.
`
`See Paper 1.
