`
`
`
`PLAINTIFFS’ PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
`
`Pursuant to Local Rule 56.1 (“Rule 56.1”), Teva responds to each “statement of fact”
`
`asserted by Lilly in its L.R. 56.1 Statement of Material Facts In Support of Defendant Eli Lilly and
`
`Company’s Motion for Summary Judgment of Invalidity for Lack of Enablement (“Lilly’s 56.1
`
`Statement”). As a preliminary matter, Lilly’s 56.1 Statement violates both the letter and the spirit
`
`of Rule 56.1 and on that basis alone the Court should deny Lilly’s motion. The 101-page Statement
`
`comprising 411 “facts” and attaching 93 exhibits is far from concise. L.R. 56.1 (requiring motions
`
`for summary judgment include a “concise statement of material facts” that the moving party
`
`contends are not subject to a genuine dispute) (emphasis added). Instead, Lilly’s 56.1 Statement
`
`wastefully forces Teva to respond to a myriad of “facts” that are neither material nor undisputed.1,2
`
`
`1 For example, Lilly’s Rule 56.1 Statement fails to acknowledge that the majority of the material
`fact issues it addresses are actually disputed. Lilly instead presents a one-sided view of these issues
`that cites only to evidence that supports Lilly’s view without admitting to the existence of either a
`dispute or contrary evidence in the record. Disputed factual issues discussed but not recognized
`as such by Lilly include, among others: (i) whether generating and humanizing antibodies was
`routine and predictable; (ii) the amount of effort and expense required for a POSA to make and
`identify antibodies for use in the claimed methods, and whether the effort would be “undue”;
`(iii) the size of the class of anti-CGRP antagonist antibodies; (iv) the applicability of the claimed
`methods to headache generally; (v) the need for preclinical testing in non-human primates and
`clinical trials for a POSA to practice the claimed methods, and whether such studies would be
`“undue.” See, e.g., Rule 56.1 Statement ¶¶ 24–27, 75–82, 88, 93–100, 110–17, 118–41, 185–87,
`248–59, 275–92, 343–70.
`
`2 Lilly’s 56.1 statement relies on inadmissible hearsay statements from Teva’s experts in the IPR
`proceedings who are not offering opinions in this case, including from the Antibody IPRs, in which
`Lilly was successful and in which the PTAB adopted the opinions of Lilly’s experts, including Dr.
`Charles, who is also Lilly’s expert in these proceedings. See Lilly’s 56.1 Statement ¶¶ 51, 76, 110,
`115–17, 119, 121, 131–32 (Dr. Tomlinson’s IPR declaration and testimony); id. ¶¶ 324–25 (Dr.
`Ferrari’s IPR declaration); id. ¶¶ 350–51 (Dr. Foord’s IPR testimony); id. ¶¶ 26, 36 (Dr. Rapoport’s
`IPR testimony).

`
`Case 1:18-cv-12029-ADB Document 440 Filed 07/27/22 Page 9 of 271
`
`
`
`Lilly’s inclusion of dozens of facts that are clearly not material also masks what material facts are
`
`in dispute.3
`
`This type of “needle in a haystack” statement is exactly what the rules prohibit because it
`
`does not clarify the disputed issues, and impermissibly shifts the burden to organize evidence from
`
`Lilly to both Teva, which must respond to every fact regardless of its materiality, and to this Court,
`
`which would be saddled with judging each and every one of Teva’s responses to Lilly’s assertions.
`
`See, e.g., Cataldo v. Moses, 361 F. Supp. 2d 420, 426 (D.N.J. 2004) (faulting plaintiff for violating
`
`the spirit of an analogous rule by “submitting wholesale immaterial information” in the form of “a
`
`106-page statement with 363 paragraphs of ‘undisputed material facts.’”); Resol. Tr. Corp. v. Fid.
`
`& Deposit Co., 1998 WL 2030798, at *1 n.3 (D.N.J. Jan. 27, 1998) (reprimanding plaintiff for
`
`submitting a 130-page statement of facts that provides “much information irrelevant to this
`
`motion” including “reproduce[ing] pages of deposition testimony already provided to the Court”).
`
`The First Circuit has upheld courts that have struck Rule 56.1 statements for less egregious
`
`violations. In Alsina-Ortiz v. Laboy, for example, the First Circuit affirmed the District Court for
`
`striking a moving parties’ statement of material facts when it spanned “60 pages and 130 facts—
`
`many being irrelevant, repetitive or unsupported by record citation” and therefore failed to comply
`
`with a local rule analogous to Rule 56.1 in this jurisdiction. 400 F.3d 77, 80–81 (1st Cir. 2005).
`
`Even recognizing that “a case could have a great many material contested facts,” the court found
`
`that the moving party “simply dumped an undigested record on the judge, expecting him to do
`
`
`3 Lilly’s 56.1 statement contains many “facts” that are not material, and in many instances are cited
`only in string cites for assertions that are, at most, tangentially related. For example, for the simple
`factual assertion that “[n]or does [the specification] disclose galcanezumab,” Lilly cites 19
`paragraphs of its 56.1 Statement, most of which are cited for nothing else and do not relate at all
`to the contents of the specification. Mot. at 6 (citing Lilly’s 56.1 Statement ¶¶ 167–68, 294–309,
`314).

`
`
`counsel’s job.” Id.; see also Brown v. Armstrong, 957 F. Supp. 1293, 1297 (D. Mass. 1997), aff’d,
`
`129 F.3d 1252 (1st Cir. 1997) (explaining that the rule is intended to “expedite the process of
`
`determining which facts are genuinely in dispute, so that the court may turn quickly to the usually
`
`more difficult task of determining whether the disputed issues are material”); CMI Capital Market
`
`Inv., LLC v. González-Toro, 520 F.3d 58, 62 (1st Cir. 2008) (describing that Rule 56.1, also known
`
`as an “anti-ferret” rule, is intended to “relieve the district court of any responsibly to ferret through
`
`the record to discern whether any material fact is genuinely in dispute”). Here, it is impossible to
`
`tell from Lilly’s 56.1 Statement which facts Lilly considers material to its Motion and, of those,
`
`which are genuinely undisputed. Accordingly, the Court should deny the motion that relies on
`
`Lilly’s 56.1 Statement.

`patents related to the patents in suit. Ex. BH (’1422 Petition); Ex. BI (’1424 Petition). The
`
`“composition of matter” patents had claims directed to classes of anti-CGRP antagonist antibodies.
`
`In the IPRs, Lilly argued that the claims were invalid because they were obvious in view of the art
`
`existing at the time of the invention. Ex. B (’1422 FWD) at 11–12, 20; Ex. C (’1424 FWD) at 11–
`
`12, 20; (Eli Lilly & Co. v. Teva Pharms. Int’l GmbH, 2020 WL 806932 (PTAB Feb. 18, 2020); Eli
`
`Lilly & Co. v. Teva Pharms. Int’l GmbH, 2020 WL 808240 (PTAB Feb. 18, 2020))
`
`P2.
`
`The central issues in the Composition of Matter IPRs were whether a POSA would
`
`have been motivated to combine prior art references that disclosed non-human anti-CGRP

`
`
`
`antagonist antibodies with other prior art references that discussed humanized antibodies
`
`generally, and whether a POSA would have had a reasonable expectation of successfully making
`
`a humanized antibody that antagonized the biological function of CGRP based on the prior art.
`
`Ex. B (’1422 FWD) at 54–55, 103; Ex. C (’1424 FWD) at 64, 101.
`
`P3.
`
`The challenged claims were directed to the class of antibodies that are used to
`
`perform the claimed methods in the asserted claims. See, e.g., Ex. B (’1422 FWD) at 9 (claim 1
`
`of the ’210 patent); Ex. C (’1424 FWD) at 9 (claim 1 of the ’211 patent).
`
`P4.
`
`The PTAB held that all of the challenged claims in Teva’s six Composition of
`
`Matter patents were unpatentable as obvious. Ex. B (’1422 FWD) at 2; Ex. C (’1424 FWD) at 2.
`
`P5.
`
`Lilly argued and the PTAB found that by 2005, antibodies that antagonize CGRP,
`
`i.e. anti-CGRP antagonist antibodies, “were well known in the art,” and that the methods of
`
`preparing them were “routine.” For these arguments, Lilly relied on the Tan 1995 and
`
`Wimalawansa references, among others. Ex. B (’1422 FWD) at 40–41, 55–56, 59, 94–95, 102;
`
`Ex. C (’1424 FWD) at 27, 52, 102.
`
`P6.
`
`The PTAB found that it was “well established” by 2005 that one could determine
`
`whether an antibody inhibits the CGRP pathway by a screening process that involved measuring
`
`“cAMP activation in SK-N-MC cells.” Ex. B (’1422 FWD) at 29–30.
`
`P7.
`
`The PTAB found that the step of humanizing anti-CGRP antagonist antibodies
`
`would have been “routine” by 2005, and that a POSA could humanize an anti-CGRP antagonist
`
`antibody without reducing its ability to bind to its target CGRP. See Ex. B (’1422 FWD) at 95–
`
`96, 98; Ex. C (’1424 FWD) at 28, 36, 40, 59–60, 103–04, 105–06.
`
`P8.
`
`The PTAB adopted Lilly’s argument that “by 2005, conventional humanization
`
`techniques were routinely used that preserved the affinity and specificity of the donor antibody.”

`
`Ex. B (’1422 FWD) at 96, 148; Ex. C (’1424 FWD) at 59–60, 104–06; Ex. BH (’1422 Petition) at
`
`35.
`
`P9.
`
`In the IPR proceedings, Lilly argued that a POSA “would have had a reasonable
`
`expectation of successfully making a humanized anti-CGRP antagonist antibody.” Ex. B (’1422
`
`FWD) at 95, 98; Ex. C (’1424 FWD) at 103–05. The PTAB agreed with Lilly’s argument and
`
`adopted it in its findings of fact. Ex. B (’1422 FWD) at 100; Ex. C (’1424 FWD) at 106–06.
`
`P10.
`
`In the IPR proceedings, Lilly argued that a POSA “would have had a reasonable
`
`expectation of successfully making a humanized anti-CGRP antagonist antibody.” Ex. B (’1422
`
`FWD) at 95, 98; Ex. C (’1424 FWD) at 103–06. The PTAB agreed with Lilly’s argument and
`
`adopted it in its findings of fact. Ex. B (’1422 FWD) at 100; Ex. C (’1424 FWD) at 105–06.
`
`P11.
`
`In the IPR proceedings, Lilly argued, and the PTAB found, that pharmaceutically
`
`acceptable excipients and formulations for human administration of antibodies were known. Ex. B
`
`(’1422 FWD) at 150–51; Ex. C (’1424 FWD) at 158–59.
`
`P12.
`
`Lilly argued that the class of humanized anti-CGRP antagonist antibodies would
`
`have been obvious to a POSA and were known in the art, and the PTAB accepted Lilly’s argument.
`
`See, e.g., Ex. B (’1422 FWD) at 28–29, 48–49. For example, Lilly argued that the Wimalawansa
`
`article “proposed the use of humanized anti-CGRP monoclonal antagonistic antibodies as
`
`therapeutic agents for CGRP-related diseases.” Ex. B (’1422 FWD) at 28.
`
`P13.
`
`In the IPRs, Lilly did not identify any particular anti-CGRP antagonist antibody
`
`that was within the scope of any of the challenged claim as being obvious. The PTAB also did not
`
`identify any particular embodiment as being obvious, but rather concluded that the claims were
`
`obvious generally. See generally Ex. B (’1422 FWD); Ex. C (’1424 FWD) at 102–03, 106, 149–
`
`50. In response to Teva’s argument that Lilly had not identified a particular anti-CGRP antagonist
`
`5
`
`
`
`Case 1:18-cv-12029-ADB Document 440 Filed 07/27/22 Page 13 of 271
`
`
`
`antibody as obvious, the PTAB relied on a prior art reference that “refers to ‘humanized anti-
`
`CGRP monoclonal antibodies’ without limitation to any particular anti-CGRP monoclonal
`
`antibody.” Ex. B (’1422 FWD)at 93; Ex. C (’1424 FWD)at 101–02.
`
`P14.
`
`During the IPRs Lilly did not identify any prior art anti-CGRP antagonist antibodies
`
`belonging to the IgG4 class. See generally Ex. BH (’1422 Petition); Ex. BI (’1424 Petition).
`
`Lilly’s experts testified that there were no such antibodies in the prior art. Ex. CH (McDonnell
`
`Dep. Tr.) 167:2–6, 167:21–168:1.
`
`P15.
`
`Although Lilly did not identify any disclosure IgG4 anti-CGRP antagonist
`
`antibodies in the prior art, the PTAB held that claims directed to IgG4 class anti-CGRP antagonist
`
`antibodies were invalid as obvious over the prior art. Ex. B (’1422 FWD) at 154; Ex. C (’1424
`
`FWD) at 151–52.
`
`P16.
`
`Lilly also filed petitions for Inter Partes Review (“IPR”) challenging the validity of
`
`the patents in suit in which Lilly argued that the patents in suit are also obvious over the prior art.
`
`Ex. D (’1710 FWD) at 2.
`
`P17.
`
`The PTAB found that Lilly had not shown that the challenged claims in the Method
`
`of Treatment patents at issue in this case were unpatentable. Ex D (’1710 FWD) at 2. Lilly’s
`
`arguments and the PTAB’s findings were based solely on obviousness in view of the prior art. The
`
`teachings of the specification of the patents in suit was not considered. Ex D (’1710 FWD) at 13,
`
`150–51.
`
`P18.
`
`The PTAB found that the challenged claims in the Method of Treatment patents
`
`were not obvious because uncertainty about whether antibodies would need to cross the blood-
`
`brain barrier weighed against finding a reasonable expectation of success in using the claimed
`
`6
`
`
`
`Case 1:18-cv-12029-ADB Document 440 Filed 07/27/22 Page 14 of 271
`
`
`
`methods. Ex. D (’1710 FWD) at 138–40. The Federal Circuit affirmed the PTAB’s decision. See
`
`Eli Lilly & Co. v. Teva Pharms. Int’l GmbH, 8 F. 4th 1331 (Fed. Cir. 2021).

`
`A POSA would have had experience using therapeutic monoclonal antibodies.
`
`Ex. S (Hale Resp. Rpt.) ¶¶ 97–102.
`

`
`A POSA would have been experienced with the well-known class of monoclonal
`
`anti-CGRP antagonist antibodies as well as the routine techniques involved in generating and
`
`humanizing antibodies. Ex. E (’045 patent) at 25:59-60 (“Anti-CGRP antagonist antibodies are
