`
`I, Matthew M. Wilk, do hereby declare as follows:
`
`1.
`
`I am a member in good standing of the New York State Bar, to which I
`
`was admitted on December 10, 2018, and the Massachusetts State Bar, to which I
`
`was admitted on June 24, 2019.
`
`2.
`
`I am a senior associate at the law firm of Arnold & Porter Kaye Scholer
`
`LLP (“Arnold & Porter”). I began working at Arnold & Porter in February 2020. I
`
`have pharmaceutical patent litigation experience, including in United States District
`
`Courts and before the Patent Trial & Appeal Board. My patent litigation experience
`
`includes cases related to biologics and medical devices.
`
`3.
`
`I have never 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.
`
`I have had no sanctions or contempt citations 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 37 C.F.R. § 42.

`
`attorney with whom I have worked in this proceeding and will continue to do so.

`
`I have significant familiarity with the subject matter at issue in this
`
`proceeding and have substantive knowledge of the patent at issue (U.S. Patent No.
`
`11,253,572 (the “’572 Patent”)) by virtue of my preparation for this proceeding. A
`
`significant amount of my time since March 2020 has been spent working on issues
`
`related to the ’572 Patent, related patents, and Patent Owner’s commercial product,
`
`Eylea. Therefore, I have a substantial familiarity with the subject matter of this
`
`proceeding.
`

`
`I hereby declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United
`
`States of America that the foregoing is true and correct, and that all statements made
