`
`
`
`I, Matthew J. Levinstein, declare as follows:
`
`1.
`
`2.
`
`3.
`
` I am an attorney licensed to practice law in the state of Illinois.

` I am also admitted to practice before the United States District Court
`
`for the Northern District of Illinois and the United States Courts of

`
`4.
`

`admitted to practice.
`
`5.
`
` I have never been suspended or disbarred from practice before any court
`
`or administrative body.
`
`6.
`
` I have never had an application denied for admission to practice before
`
`any court or administrative body.
`
`7.
`
` I have never had any sanctions or contempt citations imposed by any
`

`

`
` 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.
`
`9.
`
` I agree to be subject to the USPTO Rules of Professional Conduct

`
`C.F.R. §11.19(a).
`
`
`

`
`
`
`10.
`
` I am a Shareholder at the law firm of Greenberg Traurig, LLP
`
`(“Greenberg”). I joined Greenberg as an Associate in March 2010.
`
`11.
`
` I am an experienced litigating attorney and have specific experience in
`
`patent law and patent law litigation. I have represented clients in
`
`numerous patent infringement actions across the country. I have
`
`litigated matters through trial and appeal.
`
`12.
`
` I have sought pro hac vice admission in the following matters filed by
`
`Universal Remote Control, Inc.: IPR Nos. 2014-01082, 01084, 01102,
`
`01103, 01104, 01106, 01109, 01111, 01112, and 01146. I have also

`
`the last three (3) years. (Id.)
`
`13.
`
` I have an established familiarity with the subject matter at issue in this
`
`proceeding. I regularly represent Chervon (HK) Limited in matters
`
`relating to its patents. For example, I represent Chervon (HK) Limited
`
`in Chervon (HK) Limited et al. v. One World Technologies, Inc. et al.,
`
`Case No. 1:19-cv-01293 (D. Del.), which involves the same patent at
`
`issue in this IPR. As a result of my representation of Chervon (HK)
`
`
`
`3
`
`
`
`Limited in that matter, I have acquired substantial understanding of the
`
`underlying technological issues at stake in this matter.
`
`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 punishable by fine or imprisonment, or both,
`
`under Section 1001 of Title 18 of the United States Code and that such willful false
