`
`
`
`IPR2020-00587
`Patent No. 9,591,104
`
`
`
`I, Dennis J. Courtney, declare as follows:
`
`
`
`
`1.
`
`I am more than twenty-one years of age, am competent to present this
`
`
`
`
`
`affidavit, and have personal knowledge of the facts set forth herein.
`
`2.
`
`This affidavit is given in support of Petitioner Juniper Networks Inc.’s
`
`3.
`
`4.
`
`Motion for Pro Hac Vice Admission.
`
`I am an Associate at the law firm Irell & Manella LLP.
`
`I have been a litigating attorney for more than four (4) years. I have
`
`been litigating patent cases during that entire time period.
`
`5.
`
`I am a member in good standing of the Bar of the State of California. I
`
`have never been suspended or disbarred from practice before any court
`
`or administrative body.
`
`6.
`
`No court or administrative body has ever denied my application for
`
`admission to practice before it.
`
`7.
`
`No court or administrative body has ever imposed sanctions or
`
`contempt citations on me.
`
`8.
`
`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 Title
`
`37, Code of Federal Regulations.

`
`
`
`
`
`IPR2020-00587
`Patent No. 9,591,104
`
`9.
`I understand that I will be subject to the USPTO Code of Professional
`
`
`
`
`
`Responsibility set forth in 37 C.F.R. §§ 11.101 et seq. and disciplinary
`
`jurisdiction under 37 C.F.R. § 11.19(a).
`
`10.
`
`I have not previously sought pro hac vice admission before the United
`
`States Patent and Trademark Office.
`
`11.
`
`I am also concurrently applying for pro hac vice admission in IPR2020-
`
`00585, IPR2020-00586, IPR2020-00590, IPR2020-00591 and
`
`IPR2020-00592.
`
`12.
`
`I am familiar with the subject matter at issue in this proceeding. While
`
`I have not yet entered an appearance in the co-pending civil action (No.
`
`2:19-CV-00037-JRG-RSP in the United States District Court for the
`
`Eastern District of Texas, currently ordered transferred to the District of
`
`Delaware) involving the patent, U.S. Patent No. 9,591,104 (“the ‘104
`
`patent”) at issue in this proceeding, I have been involved in this action
`
`and acquired substantial understanding of the underlying legal and
`
`technological issues at stake through my involvement including in
`
`issues related to validity of the ‘104 patent. Juniper Networks, Inc. has
`
`expended significant time and resources on this participation and
`
`wishes to continue using me as backup counsel in this IPR proceeding
`
`as appropriate.
