`
`
`I, Don Zhe Nan Wang, declare as follows:
`
`1.
`
`I am a member in good standing of the California State Bar (admitted
`
`2016), and I am admitted to practice in the U.S. District Court for the Northern
`
`District of California (admitted in 2018) and U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth
`
`Circuit (admitted 2022).
`
`2.
`
`I have never been suspended or disbarred from practice before any
`
`court or administrative body.
`
`3.
`
`I have never had an application for admission to practice before any
`
`court or administrative body denied.
`
`4.
`
`I have had no sanctions or contempt citations imposed against me by
`
`any court or administrative body.
`
`5.
`
`I have read and will comply with the Office Patent Trial Guide and
`
`the Board’s Rules of Practice for Trials set forth in part 42 of title 37 Code of
`
`Federal Regulations.
`
`6.
`
`I agree to be subject to the USPTO Rules of Professional Conduct set
`
`forth in 37 C.F.R. §§ 11.101 et seq. and to disciplinary jurisdiction under 37 C.F.R.
`
`§ 11.19(a).
`
`7.
`
`I am familiar with the subject matter of U.S. Patent No. 6,968,248
`
`(“248 patent”) at issue in this proceeding, including its prosecution history and the
`
`technology field to which the ʼ248 patent relates. I have reviewed the parties’

`
`8.
`
`I am a litigation attorney with almost six years of experience in
`
`private practice as an associate at the law firms of White & Case LLP and Axinn,
`
`Veltrop & Harkrider LLP. During this time, I represented clients in complex
`
`patent infringement proceedings before various U.S. District Courts and the U.S.
`
`International Trade Commission and participated in Markman proceedings,
`
`summary judgment pleadings, and other patent-related pleadings and hearings
`
`concerning, inter alia, patent invalidity, infringement, and enforceability issues.
`

`
`I have not previously applied to appear pro hac vice in a proceeding
`
`before the Office. I am concurrently applying to appear pro hac vice in IPR2021-

`
`are true, that all statements made on information and belief are believed to be true,
`
`and further that all statements are made with knowledge that willful false
`
`statements and the like are punishable by fine or imprisonment, or both, under
