`
`I, Robert 0. Williams, III, Ph.D., submit this declaration at the request of Senju
`
`Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., Bausch & Lomb Incorporated and Bausch & Lomb Pharma Holdings
`
`Corp. as an expert in the field of the design and evaluation of drug products. My qualifications
`
`in these areas, as well as other areas, are established below and by my curriculum vitae, which is
`
`attached as Appendix A.
`
`2.
`
`I am currently the Johnson & Johnson Centennial Chair of Pharmaceutics at the
`
`University of Texas at Austin College of Pharmacy in Austin, Texas, where I have been teaching
`
`and conducting research for over fifteen years. Also, I am the Division Head of Pharmaceutics.
`
`3.
`
`I received a B.S. degree in biology from Texas A&M University in 1979, a BS.
`
`degree in pharmacy from the University of Texas at Austin in 1981, and a Ph.D. degree in
`
`pharmaceutics from the University of Texas at Austin in 1986.
`
`I am a licensed pharmacist.
`

`
`I have extensive experience and expertise in pharmaceutical formulation and the
`
`use of excipients in formulating various types of drug dosage forms, including aqueous liquid
`
`preparations.
`
`I have experience with ophthalmic dosage forms including solutions.
`
`I am an
`
`expert in the field of pharmaceutical development, and I have worked almost exclusively in the
`
`field of pharmaceutical development since 1986.
`

`
`Prior to becoming a professor, I worked in the pharmaceutical industry for several
`
`companies including Rhone-Poulenc Rorer Pharmaceuticals, Duramed Pharmaceuticals and Eli
`
`Lilly and Company. Additionally, from 1996 to 2007 I was co-founder and President of
`

`
`I have authored or co—authored over 400 published papers, abstracts and book
`
`chapters related to my Work in the pharmaceutical sciences. A significant number of my papers
`
`are directed specifically to pharmaceutical formulation techniques and drug dosage forms.
`
`I am
`
`a co-inventor on over 35 patents and/or patent applications that deal with drug formulation
`
`technology.
`
`8.
`
`Over the course of my career, I have earned numerous prestigious professional

`
`DOCUMENTS AND INFORMATION CONSIDERED IN FORMING OPINIONS
`
`11.
`
`I have been asked to provide my opinion on various terms and phrases in the
`
`claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 8,129,431 (“the ’43l patent”), 8,669,290 (“the ’290 patent”),
`
`8,754,131 (“the ’l3l patent”), 8,871,813 (“the ’813 patent”), and 8,927,606 (“the ’606 patent”)
`
`(collectively, “the patents-in-suit”) as of the January 21, 2003, priority date of the patents-in-suit,
`
`based on the knowledge and understanding of a person of ordinary skill in the art, and to respond
`
`to certain proposed claim interpretations of Defendants.
`
`12.
`
`In forming my opinions, I have reviewed the patents-in-suit and their prosecution
`
`histories.
`
`I also have considered the Joint Claim Construction and Prehearing Statement and the
`
`documents cited therein.
`
`I also have reviewed the declaration of Dr. Thomas Green.
`
`(Ex. I 37.)
`
`I additionally have based my opinions on my professional and academic experience in the areas
`
`of pharmaceutical development.
`
`I reserve the right
`
`to testify about
`
`these materials and
`
`experience. To the extent I am provided additional documents or information, including any
`
`declarations produced by Defendants, I may offer further opinions.
`
`In addition to these materials,
`
`I may consider additional documents and infomiation in forming any rebuttal opinions.
`
`1 “Ex. _” refers to the exhibits to the declaration of Bryan Diner in support of Plaintiffs’
`Opening Markman brief.

`
`III.
`
`LEGAL PRINCIPLES
`
`13.
`
`I have been informed and understand that the patent claims, and their terms and
`
`phrases, are interpreted by the Court according to their ordinary and customary meaning to a
`
`person of ordinary skill in the art at the time of invention. Iunderstand that interpreting a term or
`
`phrase contained in a patent claim involves reading the language of the claim and considering
`
`other materials relevant
`
`to the claim,
`
`including the patent specification and the prosecution
`
`history.
`
`I understand that evidence extrinsic to the patent and its prosecution history may also
`
`be consulted, but that such materials should only be considered so long as they are not
`
`inconsistent with the claim language, the patent specification and the prosecution history.
`
`14.
`
`I have been informed and understand that an independent patent claim does not
`
`itself refer to any other patent claim.
`
`I understand that a dependent patent claim refers to another
`
`patent claim and incorporates all of the elements of the claim to which it refers, and also adds
`
`further elements.
`
`15.
`
`I have been informed and understand that
`
`the transition phrase “consisting
`
`essentially of” as it is used in a patent claim means that the claim encompasses the recited
`
`elements and only those non-recited elements that do not materially affect the basic and novel
`
`properties of the claimed composition. As such, any non-recited element that materially affects
`
`the basic and novel properties of the composition is excluded from the claim’s scope.
`
`I further
`
`understand that the transition phrase “consisting essentially of‘ differs from the open transition
`
`term “comprising,” which means that the claimed composition is open to non-recited elements.

`16.
`
`I understand that this litigation involves the ’431, ’290, ’13l, ’8l3, and ’606

`(Ex. 6 at 2
`
`(“Description”).)
`
`17.
`
`I understand that Defendants have each filed Abbreviated New Drug Applications
`
`(“ANDAs”) with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) to sell generic versions of
`
`Prolensa® prior to expiration of the patents—in-suit. (Exs. 8-16.)
