`Patent RE39,618
`
`I, Peter E. Gratzinger, declare and attest as follows:
`1.
`
`I am of counsel for the firm Munger, Tolles & Olson LLP. I make this
`
`declaration in support of Petitioner The Boeing Company’s Motion for Peter E.
`
`Gratzinger to Appear Pro Hac Vice Under 37 C.F.R. § 42.10, filed in the above-
`
`captioned IPR No. 2015-01341.
`2.
`
`I have more than 12 years of litigation experience and have litigated
`
`numerous patent cases. I have presented technology tutorials and argued Markman
`
`hearings in patent cases in federal district court. I have also published articles
`
`regarding patent law. Attached as Exhibit A is a copy of my professional biography
`
`as provided by Munger, Tolles & Olson LLP.
`3.
`
`I am counsel of record for Petitioner The Boeing Company in concurrent
`
`pending federal district court litigation involving the same U.S. Patent No. RE39,618
`
`(“the ’618 Patent”). See Seymour Levine v. The Boeing Company, Case No. 2:14-cv-
`
`1991-RSL (W.D. Wash.). Attached as Exhibit B is a copy of the docket from that
`
`proceeding, which shows that I have appeared as counsel in that lawsuit on behalf of
`
`The Boeing Company. I am very familiar with the ’618 Patent and the subject matter
`
`of the current inter partes review proceeding as a result of my position as The Boeing
`
`Company’s counsel in the concurrent district court litigation. My role in that case has
`
`included substantial work investigating and analyzing the technology disclosed in the
`
`’618 patent and prior art references related to that technology (including the art cited in
`
`the instant inter partes review).
`4.
`
`I was admitted to practice law in California on December 4, 2003. My
`
`bar number is No. 228764. I remain in good standing as a member of the California
`
`Bar. Attached as Exhibit C is a copy of my bar status from The State Bar of
`
`California.

`
`U.S. Court of Appeals, 9th Circuit
`
`6.
`
`I have never been suspended or disbarred by any court or administrative
`
`body. Nor have I ever been disciplined by a court, bar association, or committee
`
`thereof that would reflect unfavorably upon my conduct, competency or fitness as a
`
`member of the Bar. No sanctions or contempt citations have been imposed upon me
`
`by any court or administrative body. I have never been denied application for
`
`admission to practice before any court or administrative body.
`7.
`
`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 37 C.F.R. I also
`
`understand that I am 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).
`8.
`
`I have not previously applied to appear pro hac vice in any other
`
`proceeding before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board.
`9.
`
`I understand that I would be admitted for the limited purpose of
`
`appearing in the case specified above only.
`
`
`
`I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States of
`
`America that the foregoing is true and correct.
`
`Executed on January 12, 2016 in San Francisco, California.
