`DECLARATION OF DAVID L. ANSTAETT IN SUPPORT OF MOTION
`FOR PRO HAC VICE ADMISSION OF DAVID L. ANSTAETT
`
`
`1 This Declaration of David L. Anstaett In Support of Motion for Pro Hac Vice
`
`Admission addresses all above referenced cases. The word-for-word identical
`
`paper is filed in each proceeding identified in the caption.
`
`
`
`
`
`

`
`
`
`
`
`I, David L. Anstaett, declare as follows:
`
`1.
`
`2.
`
`I am a litigation partner at Perkins Coie LLP.
`
`I am a member in good standing of the Bar of the Commonwealth of
`
`Virginia and the State of Wisconsin. I am also admitted to practice before the
`
`United States Courts of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, D.C. Circuit and Federal
`
`Circuit, and the United States Supreme Court.
`
`3. My Bar membership numbers are VA 46614 and WI 1037884.
`
`4.
`
`I have been practicing law for 14 years, including litigating patent
`
`cases for the last 11 years.
`
`5. More generally, I represent Mylan in litigating significant
`
`pharmaceutical patent cases, including the following infringement cases:
`
`•
`
`AstraZeneca AB et al. v. Mylan Laboratories Ltd., Civil Action No.
`
`3:12-cv-01378-MLC-TJB (U.S. District Court for the District of New
`
`Jersey, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit)
`
`•
`
`Teva Pharmaceuticals USA Inc., et al. v. Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc.,
`
`et al., Civil Action No.1:09-cv-08824-WHP (U.S. District Court for
`
`the Southern District of New York, U.S. Court of Appeals for the
`
`Federal Circuit, U.S. Supreme Court)
`
`
`
`- 1 -
`
`

`
`•
`
`Teva Pharmaceuticals USA Inc., et al. v. Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc.,
`
`et al., No. 10-cv-7246 (KBF) (U.S. District Court for the Southern
`
`District of New York)
`
`•
`

`
`03695 (U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois)

`
`Action No. 1:15-cv-06039-RMB-KMW (U.S. District Court for the

`Teva Pharmaceutical USA Inc., et al. v. Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc.,
`
`et al., Civil Action No. 1:14-cv-01278-GMS (U.S. District Court of
`
`District of Delaware)
`
`•
`
`•
`

`

`
`8:14-cv-02662-GJH (U.S. District Court District of Maryland, U.S.
`
`Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit)
`
`6.
`
`I have never been suspended, disbarred, sanctioned or cited for
`
`contempt by any court or administrative body.
`
`7.
`
`I have never had a court deny my application for admission to
`
`practice.
`
`- 2 -
`
`

`
`8.
`
`I am familiar with the subject matter of this proceeding. In addition to
`
`U.S. Patent Nos. 8,232,250 (“the ’250 patent”), 8,399,413 (“the ’413 patent”), and
`
`8,969,302 (“the ’302 patent”) and their prosecution histories, I am familiar with the
`
`technology at issue and with Copaxone, the pharmaceutical product for which the
`
`’250, ’413 and ’302 patents are listed in the Orange Book. I have been litigating
`
`issues surrounding Copaxone since 2009. I was counsel in a long-running case
`
`involving patents related to Copaxone, Teva v. Mylan, No. 1:09-cv-08824-WHP
`
`(S.D.N.Y.) and a litigation related to markers for measuring the molecular weight
`
`of glatiramer acetate, Teva v. Mylan, No. 10-cv-7246 (KBF) (S.D.N.Y.). In
`
`addition, I am counsel in the following pending district court cases related to
`
`methods of treatment with Copaxone:
`
`•
`
`Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. et al. v. Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc.
`
`et al., Civil Action No. 1:14-cv-01278-GMS (U.S. District Court for
`
`the District of Delaware); and
`
`•
`
`Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. et al. v. Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc.
`
`et al., Civil Action No. 1:14-cv-00167-IMK (U.S. District Court for
`
`the Northern District of West Virginia).
`
`9.
`
`In connection with my work on Copaxone litigations, I have become
`
`familiar with the prior art references that are the subject of this proceeding.
`
`- 3 -
`
`

`
`10. Given my familiarity with the underlying facts and my litigation
`
`experience with the Federal Rules of Evidence, I have experience and expertise
`
`important to representing Mylan’s interests in this matter.
`
`11.
`
`I have read and will comply with the Office Patent Trial Practice
`
`Guide and the Board’s Rules of Practice for Trials, as set forth in Part 42 of 37
`
`C.F.R.
`
`12.
`
`I agree to be subject to the United States Patent and Trademark Office
`
`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).
`
`13.
`
`I have not previously applied for admission pro hac vice before the
`
`United States Patent and Trademark Office.
`
`14.
`
`I hereby declare that all statements made herein of my own
`
`knowledge are true and that all statements made on information and belief are
`
`believed to be true; and further that these statements are made with the knowledge
`
`that willful false statements and the like are punishable by fine, imprisonment, or
`
`both, under Section 1001 of Title 18 of the United States Code.
