`
`2.
`
`I have never been suspended or disbarred from practice before any court or
`
`administrative body.

`
`8.
`
`I am an experienced litigation attorney, with particular experience in patent
`
`infringement litigations in District Courts across the country, including experience
`
`with fact and expert deposition discovery, claim construction, Markman hearings,
`
`motion practice, trials, and hearings.
`
`9.
`
`I am counsel for PayPal, Inc. (“PayPal”), Petitioner and the defendant in a
`
`related pending litigation in the United States District Court for the Northern
`
`District of California,
`
`in which U.S. Patent Nos. 7,590,602, 8,051,011, and
`
`8,195,578 are asserted by the Patent Owner (MoneyCat, Ltd. v. PayPal, Inc., Case
`
`No. 14—cV-02490-JST (N.D. Cal.)). U.S. Patent No. 8,712,918 (the “918 patent”)
`
`is a continuation of U.S. Patent No. 8,195,578 (the “578 patent”).
`
`In
`
`CBM2014-00093, a proceeding in which I was admitted pro hac vice as
`
`backup counsel for the petitioner eBay Inc., the Board entered a final written
`
`PayPal Ex.1027, p.4
`
`
`
`
`decision that claims 1-3, 5-11, and 13-23 of the 578 patent are unpatentable.
`
`Additionally, I was admitted pro hac vice as backup counsel for eBay in
`
`CBM2014-00091
`
`and CBM2014-00092,
`
`concerning U.S. Patent Nos.
`
`8,051,011 and 7,590,602, Which are also related to the 918 patent.
`
`I am
`
`familiar with the subject matter at issue in this proceeding as a result of my
`
`representation of PayPal in the related pending litigation, my representation of
`
`eBay in CBM2014-00091, CBM2014-00092, and CBM2014-00093, and my
`
`representation of eBay in MoneyCat’s appeal of the Board’s final Written decisions
`
`in those CBM proceedings to the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals (see Fed. Cir.
`
`Nos. 2016-1399, 2016-1405, and 2016-1408).
`
`I am familiar with the invalidity
`
`defenses raised and prior art asserted in the related pending litigation and in the
`
`related CBM proceeding, and am familiar with the prior art raised in this
`
`proceeding,
`
`including: Canadian Patent No. 2,221,399 (“Teramura”); Michael
`
`Peirce and Donal O’Mahony, “Scalable, Secure Cash Payment
`
`for WW
`
`Resources With the PayMe Protocol Set,” World Wide Web Journal, Nov. 1995, at
`
`587-601 (“Peirce”); WIPO Pub. No. W0 97/ 19414 (“Haynes”); and U.S. Patent
`
`No. 5,715,402 (“Popolo”).
`
`I have reviewed the briefs and papers filed in this
`
`proceeding
`
`and
`
`in
`
`IPR2017-00541, CBM2014—0009l, CBM20l4-00092,
`
`CBM2014-00093, and CBM20l7—00030.
