`Declaration of Geoffrey R. Miller ISO Motion for Pro Hac Vice Admission
`
`
`I, Geoffrey R. Miller, declare as follows:
`
`1.
`
`I am more than twenty-one years of age, am competent to present this
`
`declaration, and have personal knowledge of the facts set forth herein.
`
`2.
`
`This declaration is made in support of Petitioner Supercell Oy’s
`
`Motion for Pro Hac Vice Admission of Geoffrey R. Miller Pursuant to 37 C.F.R.
`
`§ 42.10(c).
`
`3.
`
`4.
`
`I am an associate at the law firm of Fenwick & West LLP.
`
`I have been a litigating attorney for more than three years. I have
`
`been litigating patent cases during that entire time period, prior to which I
`
`completed a one-year term clerkship for The Honorable John D. Love, United
`
`States Magistrate Judge for the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of
`
`Texas, in which I primarily assisted Judge Love with patent litigation cases.
`
`5.
`
`I am a member in good standing of the state bars of California and
`
`New York. I am a member in good standing of the State Bars of Massachusetts
`
`and Texas on inactive status. I am not suspended and have never been disbarred
`
`from practice before any court or administrative body. I was suspended once for
`
`seven days from the State Bar of Texas for late payment of annual bar dues. I have
`
`not been suspended from practice before any other court or administrative body at
`
`any other time.

`
`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 37 C.F.R.
`
`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 applied to appear pro hac vice in one post grant review
`
`proceeding before the Office within the last three (3) years, PGR2018-00008,
`
`which was conditionally granted on September 20, 2018. Petitioner is also
`
`concurrently moving for me to appear pro hac vice in PGR2018-00036,
`
`PGR2018-00039, PGR2018-00047, PGR2018-00050, PGR2018-00055,
`
`PGR2018-00060, and PGR2018-00061.
`
`11.
`
`I have established familiarity with the subject matter at issue in this
`
`proceeding. I am serving as a consulting attorney in a related, co-pending action
`
`before the Tokyo District Court. U.S. Patent No. 9,636,583 B2 is a continuation of
`
`U.S. Ser. No. 14/291,358 that claims the benefit of Japanese Patent Application

`
`No. 2013-116039 filed on May 31, 2013, which published as JP 6,125,128.
`
`JP 6,125,128 is asserted by GREE against Supercell Oy and Supercell K.K. in the
`
`following patent infringement lawsuit: GREE, Inc. v. Supercell K.K., Case 2017
`
`(Yo) No. 22165 Petition for Provisional Disposition before Civil Department 29 of
`
`the Tokyo District Court.
`
`12.
`
`I have also reviewed in detail the ’583 patent, which is the patent
`
`involved in this proceeding, its prosecution history, as well as the Petition. I am
`
`thus very familiar with the ’583 patent and the issues in this case.
`
`13.
`
`I hereby declare that all statements made herein of my own
`
`knowledge are true and that all statements made on information and believe 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.
`
`
`
`EXECUTED at Mountain View, California, on January 17, 2019.
