`
`I, Michael A. Amon, hereby declare to the following:
`
`1.
`
`I am a member in good standing of the state Bar of California (SBN:
`
`226221), as well as the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, and
`
`the Supreme Court of the United States, among other courts.
`
`2.
`
`I have not 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.
`
`No sanction or contempt citation has been imposed against me by any
`
`court or administrative body.
`
`5.
`
`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.
`
`6.
`
`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).
`
`7.
`
`In the past three years, I have applied for admission pro hac vice in
`
`IPR2018-01250, IPR2018-01251, IPR2018-01276, IPR2021-00970, IPR2021-

`00971, IPR2021-00972, IPR2022-00872, and IPR2022-01186.

`
`
`
`Proceeding No.: IPR2022-00651
`Attorney Docket: 00035-0029IP1
`
`8.
`
`I am an experienced patent litigation attorney with more than 18 years
`
`of experience representing clients in cases involving medical devices, computer
`
`software, chemical formulations, and electrical products. I regularly litigate patent
`
`cases before the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, various
`
`federal district courts, and before the International Trade Commission.
`
`9.
`
`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.
`
`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 were made with the
`
`knowledge that willful false statements and the like so made are 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 the application
`
`or any patents issued thereon.
