`
`DECLARATION OF GREER N. SHAW IN SUPPORT OF
`PATENT OWNER SMART MOBILE TECHNOLOGIES LLC’S
`UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR PRO HAC VICE ADMISSION OF GREER N.
`SHAW UNDER 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(c)
`
`
`
`
`
`I, Greer N. Shaw, declare as follows:
`
`1.
`
`I am a partner with Graves & Shaw LLP (“G&S”). Lead counsel in
`
`the inter partes review proceeding is Kenneth J. Weatherwax, a Partner at
`
`Lowenstein & Weatherwax LLP, who, on information and belief, is registered to
`
`practice before the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office (“USPTO”) and holds
`
`Registration No. 54,528. With respect to these proceedings, I will work closely
`
`with Mr. Weatherwax.
`
`2.
`
`I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of California,
`
`Berkeley, and a Doctor of Jurisprudence degree in Law from Boston University
`
`School of Law.
`
`3.
`
`I have 25 years of experience as a litigation attorney and representing
`
`clients in patent litigation matters in various United States District Courts and the
`
`United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. My experience includes
`
`several matters in the electrical and computer science arts. I have experience
`
`relevant to the technological and legal matters at issue in this proceeding and the
`
`related proceedings, including representing the Smart Mobile Technologies LLC
`
`(“Smart Mobile”) in a number of other related matters. In particular, I represent
`
`Smart Mobile in co-pending district court litigation, involving U.S. Patent No.
`
`9,756,168, in Smart Mobile Technologies LLC v. Apple Inc., 6:21-cv-00603
`
`(W.D.Tex.) and Smart Mobile Technologies LLC v. Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd.
`
`
`
`
`
`and Samsung Electronics America, Inc., 6:21-cv-00701 (W.D.Tex.). I am,
`
`therefore, an experienced patent litigation attorney with expertise that is pertinent
`
`to the inter partes review proceeding. Smart Mobile desires, and has a need, to be
`
`represented in certain aspects of these proceedings by an experienced patent
`
`litigation attorney who has expertise that is relevant to the issues involved.

`
`technical subject matter, and prior art discussed in the Petitioner’s Request for Inter
`
`Partes Review of these patents. I have personally reviewed the patents at issue, as
`
`well as their prosecution history and the above-referenced petitions with
`
`accompanying declarations and exhibits. I have been and continue to be actively
`
`involved with strategic, factual, and technical aspects of this matter.
