`
`Plaintiffs,
`
`Vv.
`
`Civil Action No.

`Defendant.
`
`ELI LILLY AND COMPANY,
`
`DECLARATION OF DR. GEOFFREY HALE IN SUPPORT OF PLAINTIFFS TEVA
`PHARMACEUTICALS INTERNATIONAL GMBH
`AND TEVA PHARMACEUTICALSUSA, INC.’S OPPOSITION TO
`MOTION TO EXCLUDE DR. GEOFFREY HALE AS AN EXPERT
`
`I, Dr. Geoffrey Hale, declare as follows:
`
`1.
`
`I am an expert in the field of antibody development, including the humanization
`
`of antibodies. My current posts include serving as a freelance scientist and consultant, the CEO
`
`of mAbsolve, and the managing director of Bioarchitech. All of my work relates to some extent
`
`to antibody development, including the humanization of antibodies.
`
`2.
`
`Over the last 10 years as a freelance consultant, I have consulted on over 60
`
`projects for approximately 45 different companies, most of which are pharmaceutical companies.
`
`All of this work related to antibody development, including the humanization of antibodies. This
`
`work has been my main source of earned income for the past 10 years.
`
`I have never been
`
`engaged by Lilly or any other client on terms which indefinitely limit my ability to act as a
`
`consultant for other companies, including in the area of humanization of antibodies.
`
`

`
`
`
`3.
`
`I understand that the defendant, Eli Lilly and Company (“Lilly”), has objected to
`
`me serving as an expert for Teva in this case based on
`
`
`
`asserted that
`
`. I understand Lilly has
`
` and that the
`
`confidential information related to the issues in this case because they also pertained to
`
`. I also understand Lilly has asserted that
`
`
`
`. I also understand Lilly has asserted that
`
`a company,
`
`, was also involved in
`
`
`
`4.
`
`While I don’t have any reason to dispute that
`
`have no recollection of the content of
`
`. As far as I can recall,
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`, I
`
`
`
`. I do not have any such documents in my
`
`possession.
`
`5.
`
`Regarding the work done by
`
`, I
`
`have no specific recollection of what, if anything,
`
`
`
` Indeed, I
`
`would not have typically been involved in work that the company did. Instead, what would have
`
`typically occurred if I was engaged to work on a project where
`
` was also
`
`engaged would be that I would be paid separately as a consultant to provide input on
`
`
`
`. Those experiments would then be conducted by
`
` without
`
`further input or supervision from me (my role with
`
` at the relevant times was
`
`as a
`
` and I did not have any executive responsibilities).
