`
`
`
`I.
`
`QUALIFICATIONS
`
`1. My name is Dr. Suzanne Budge. I have been retained by counsel for
`
`Respondents Aker BioMarine AS to testify as an expert in this inter partes review.
`
`2.
`
`I am currently an Associate Professor in the Food Science Program, in
`
`the Department of Process Engineering and Applied Science at Dalhousie
`
`University. I obtained a B.Sc. in Chemistry from Acadia University in 1993 and a
`
`Ph.D. in Analytical and Marine Chemistry from Memorial University of
`
`Newfoundland in 1999. My Ph.D. research primarily involved preparing extracts
`
`of marine animals and analyzing the components of these extracts using various
`
`analytical techniques. Upon obtaining my Ph.D., I joined Dalhousie University as
`
`a Post-Doctoral Fellow, and in 2004 became an Assistant Professor. In 2009, I was
`
`promoted to Associate Professor.
`
`3.
`
`Throughout my career, I have published numerous papers and given
`
`numerous presentations related to the chemistry of marine animals, including many
`
`related to marine oil extraction. As an Associate Professor, my research is focused
`
`primarily on the preparation and analysis of marine oils. I have more than fifteen
`
`years of experience in performing extractions of marine animals, and analyzing
`
`marine extracts. I consider myself an expert in this field. My curriculum vitae is
`
`attached as Exhibit A.
`
`000002
`
`
`
`4.
`
`In forming my opinions, I have considered and relied upon my
`
`education, background, and experience in marine chemistry, as well as the
`
`documents and information cited herein.
`
`II.
`
`INTRODUCTION
`
`5.
`
`I have been asked to review PCT Publication No. WO 00/23546
`
`(“Beaudoin I”) and Canadian Patent Application No. CA 2,251,265 (“Beaudoin
`
`II”) and to prepare krill extracts in accordance with the extraction procedure
`
`described in those references, .
`
`6.
`
`I reviewed Beaudoin I and Beaudoin II from the perspective of a
`
`person of ordinary skill in the art as of July 27, 2001. I understand that
`
`Respondents have proposed that a person of ordinary skill in the art as of that date
`
`is:
`
`A person with an advanced degree in a field such as chemical engineering,
`
`food engineering, pharmacology, analytical chemistry, biochemistry, organic
`
`chemistry, biology, marine biology, or food chemistry, and at least (i)
`
`several years of experience in preparing lipid extracts from biological or
`
`natural products, for example in an industrial or research setting and/or (ii)
`
`several years of experience in analytical chemistry. A person of ordinary
`
`skill in the art may consist of a team of individuals with the foregoing
`
`education and experience. The more education one has, for example post-
`
`000003
`
`
`
`graduate degrees and/or study, the less industry experience is needed to
`
`attain an ordinary level of skill.
`
`
`
`I interpreted Beaudoin I and Beaudoin II from the perspective of a person or team
`
`who meets this criteria, and carried out the extractions described in this report
`
`based on my understanding of Beaudoin I and Beaudoin II’s disclosures as viewed
`
`from this perspective. I note that based on my education and experience, I met the
`
`above criteria as of July 27, 2001.1
`
`III. EXTRACTIONS
`
`7.
`
`I received two blocks of frozen krill identified as Euphausia pacifica
`
`and Euphausia superba, on or about August 13, 2013, and August 16, 2013,
`
`respectively. I received a third block of frozen krill, identified as Euphausia
`
`superba, on September 6, 2013. Upon receipt, each of these lots was stored in a
`
`freezer at -30°C until the extraction was performed.
`
`8.
`
`I repeated the Beaudoin I (pages 5-6 and Table 19) and Beaudoin II
`
`(page 2 and Table 11) acetone extractions. Separate extractions were conducted
`
`for the Euphausia pacifica sample and for the Euphausia superba samples. I used
`
`the following procedure:
`
`1
`I understand that Complainants have proposed that a person of ordinary skill in the art is “a person with at
`least a bachelor’s degree (or equivalent) who has studied or worked in the life sciences for at least 5 years and who
`has concentrated for at least 1 year on natural marine products.” As of July 27, 2001, I met this criteria as well.
`
`000004
`
`
`
`1.
`
`The frozen krill were removed from storage and ground
`
`in a blender at 4oC to reduce particle size to < 5 mm.
`
`2.
`
`Approximately 300 g of ground krill was placed in a 4 L
`
`Erlenmeyer flask and 1800 mL of cold acetone (0oC) was
`
`added. The Erlenmeyer flask was placed in an ice water bath at
`
`0oC and swirled for 20 min. The flask was then left to sit in the
`
`ice water bath for an additional 100 min, for a total of two
`
`hours.
`
`3.
`
`The acetone-krill mixture was filtered through an 18 cm
`
`diameter Buchner funnel containing filter paper using a partial
`
`vacuum created with an aspirator. After filtration, 600 mL of
`
`cold acetone (0oC) was added to the Erlenmeyer flask. The
`
`flask was then gently swirled and the acetone was used to rinse
`
`the krill material remaining on the filter. A partial vacuum was
`
`again applied. The filtration was considered complete when
`
`filtrate no longer dripped from the funnel.
`
`4.
`
`The filtrate was transferred to a 3 L round bottom flask
`
`and attached to a rotary evaporator. A partial vacuum was
`
`applied using an aspirator and the sample was heated to 38oC in
`
`000005
`
`
`
`a water bath. Evaporation was carried out until acetone was no
`
`longer condensing.
`
`5.
`
`The liquid remaining after evaporation was transferred to
`
`a 250 mL separatory funnel and allowed to separate into two
`
`layers at 4oC. The top layer was collected and placed in a 15
`
`mL test tube. When the collected material contained obvious
`
`traces of water, it was centrifuged at approximately 275 g at
`
`4oC and the top layer was again collected. Recovered extract
`
`was stored at 4oC.
`
`6.
`
`The extracts generated by each individual extraction from
`
`a given sample were pooled with the other extracts from that
`
`same block of krill. The pooled extract was stored at 4°C.
`
`9.
`
`Respondents requested that I handle the resulting extracts in three
`
`different ways: (1) no further treatment; (2) heat the extract to 60°C for 5
`
`minutes as described at page 3 of Beaudoin II; and (3) heat the extract to
`
`125°C for 15 minutes as described at pages 7 and 10 of Beaudoin I. I
`
`carried this out as follows:
`
`1.
`
`The pooled extract was mixed well and then distributed
`
`into three portions in test tubes.
`
`000006
`
`
`
`2.
`
`3.
`
`One portion was stored at 4°C.
`
`A second portion was heated in a hot water bath
`
`maintained at 60oC. Nitrogen was blown on the surface of the
`
`extract as it was heated to create an inert atmosphere. The
`
`temperature of the extract was monitored using a thermometer.
`
`When the extract reached 60oC, it was held there for 5 min.
`
`The extract was then immediately returned to storage at 4oC.
`
`4.
`
`A third portion was heated in an oil bath maintained at
`
`125oC.2 Nitrogen was blown on the surface of the extract as it
`
`was heated to create an inert atmosphere. The temperature of
`
`the extract was monitored using a thermometer. When the
`
`extract reached 125oC, it was held there for 15 min. The extract
`
`was then immediately returned to storage at 4oC.
`
`10. Upon completion of the heat treatments, the extracts were distributed
`
`into test tubes and labeled. I sent samples to Avanti Polar Lipids, Chemir
`
`Analytical Services, and Dr. Richard Van Breemen, in accordance with the table
`
`below. All samples were shipped on dry ice.
`
`2
`I note that the extract took over one hour to reach 125°C. For the majority of the time,
`the sample temperature was over 100°C.
