`ADMISSION OF JASON MCMANIS
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`I, Jason McManis, declare as follows:
`
`IPR2022-00040
`
`1.
`
`2.
`
`3.
`
`I am an experienced litigating attorney with more than nine (9) years of experience.
`
`I have been litigating patent cases for at least nine (9) years.
`
`I am a member in good standing of the Texas State Bar, with no suspensions or
`
`disbarments from practice, and am admitted to practice before several district courts around the
`
`country.
`
`4.
`
`I have never had an application for admission to practice before any court or
`
`administrative body denied.
`
`5.
`
`I am familiar with the subject matter at issue in this proceeding, including the
`
`patent-at-issue. I am counsel in the pending district court cases LoganTree LP, vs. Garmin
`
`International, Inc., and Garmin USA, Inc., Case No. 6:17-cv-01217 (D. Kan.), LoganTree LP, vs.
`
`Apple, Inc., Case No. 3:22-cv-02892 (N.D. Cal.) and LoganTree LP v. Fossil Group, Inc., Case
`
`No. 21-385 (D. Del.), all of which involve the same patent at issue in this proceeding.
`
`6.
`
`I am actively involved in all aspects of the pending district court case, including the
`
`issue of validity of the patent-in-suit and at issue in this proceeding.
`
`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 the C.F.R.
`
`8.
`
`I agree to be subject to the USPTO Code of Professional Responsibility set forth in
`
`37 C.F.R. §§10.20 et seq., and to disciplinary jurisdiction under 37 C.F.R. §11.19(a).
`
`9.
`
`I have not applied to appear pro hac vice in any proceeding before the Office in the
`
`last three (3) years.
`
`10.
`
`I hereby declare that all statements made 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 so made are
`
`IPR2022-00040
`
`punishable by fine or imprisonment, or both, under Section 1001 of Title 18 of the United States
`
`Code and that such willful false statements may jeopardize the validity of U.S. Patent No.
