`
`I, David A. Skeels, declare as follows:
`

`
`I am an experienced litigating attorney in my tenth year of law practice.
`
`I have been litigating patent cases during the entirety of my law practice, and,
`
`since 2007, approximately 90% of my law practice has focused on patent infringement litigation.
`
`I have served as trial counsel in more than two dozen patent infringement lawsuits.
`
`3.
`
`I am a member in good standing of the State Bar of Texas and am admitted to
`
`practice in the United States District Court for the Northern, Southern, and Eastern Districts of
`
`Texas, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, and the United States Court of
`
`Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
`
`4.
`
`I have never been suspended or disbarred from practice before any court or
`
`administrative body.
`
`5.
`
`I have never had an application for admission to practice before any court or
`
`administrative body denied.
`
`6.
`
`I have had no sanctions or contempt citations imposed against me by any court or
`
`administrative body.
`
`7.
`
`I am familiar with the subject matter at issue in this proceeding and, more
