` EXAMINATION
` BY MR. MALIK:
`
` Q. Q. Good morning, Dr. Williams.
`
` Q. Q.
`
` A. A. Good morning.
`
` A. A.
`
` Q. Q. Let me hand you what has been marked as
`
` Q. Q.
`Senju Exhibit 2082, which is your declaration in
`IPR 903 and the '431 patent.
` Let me also hand you what has been
`marked as Senju Exhibit 2082, which is the -- your
`declaration in the 902 case pertaining to the '290
`patent.
` Finally, let me also hand you the '290
`patent which is marked InnoPharma Exhibit 1001.
` Dr. Williams, I'm going to ask you a
`series of questions in connection with the two
`declarations I've handed you.

`
` Can you confirm the two declarations
`
`that I've handed you are indeed your declarations?
`
`
` A. A. They both are. Yes.
`
` A. A.
`
` Q. Q. And is that your signature at the end of
`
` Q. Q.
`the declarations?
`
`
` A. A. Yes, it is.
`
` A. A.
`
` Q. Q. Okay. A couple of ground rules. I'm going
`
` Q. Q.
`to ask that any question that I pose that you answer
`
`from the perspective of a person of ordinary skill
`
`in the art.
`
` Unless you tell me otherwise, I'm going
`
`to assume that it's from the skilled artisan.
`
` Fair enough?
`
`
` A. A. Yes.
`
` A. A.
`
` Q. Q. Okay. I'm also going to focus most of my
`
` Q. Q.
`deposition on the declaration for the 902 case which
`
`pertains to the '290 case.
`
` But unless you tell me otherwise, I'll
`
`assume that the answer also applies to the '431
`
`patent.
`
` Fair enough?
`
`
` A. A. Yes.
`
` A. A.
`
`Page 17
`
`
` Q. Q. Okay.
`
` Q. Q.
` (Pause in proceedings.)
` BY MR. MALIK:
`
` Q. Q. Let me also hand you what I have marked
`
` Q. Q.
`InnoPharma Exhibit 1067.
` Dr. Williams, you were deposed in this
`case in connection with the corresponding district
`court litigation. Is that correct?
`
` A. A. I've been deposed twice in this case.
`
` A. A.
`
` Q. Q. A couple weeks ago?
`
` Q. Q.
`
` A. A. Yes.
`
` A. A.
`
` Q. Q. Okay. And that deposition was -- the
`
` Q. Q.
`transcript right there -- is that the deposition
`transcript there? Is that the testimony that you
`gave in connection with the district court case you
`gave a couple weeks ago?
`
` A. A. It appears to be. Yes.
`
` A. A.
`
` Q. Q. Okay. And during that deposition you were
`
` Q. Q.
`sworn. Correct?
`
` A. A. Yes.
`
` A. A.
`
` Q. Q. And do you stand by the statements in that
`
` Q. Q.
`declaration?

`
`Page 18
`
`
` A. A. I do.
`
` A. A.
`
` Q. Q. I'm sorry. In the deposition transcript.
`
` Q. Q.
`
` A. A. In this deposition, I do stand by what I
`
` A. A.
`said. Yes.
`
` Q. Q. Thank you. Let me hand you what has
`
` Q. Q.
`previously been marked as Senju Exhibit 2115.
` Dr. Williams, do you recognize Senju
`Exhibit 2115?
`
` A. A. It is -- Exhibit 2115 is a copy of my
`
` A. A.
`curriculum vitae that was current at the time that
`I -- that this went in.
`
` Q. Q. Are there any differences or any changes
`
` Q. Q.
`that you'd like to make since the date you submitted
`your declaration?
`
` A. A. Well, the -- I mean, the parts that would
`
` A. A.
`change that I continually update are the patent
`section and the publication section, the poster
`section.
`
` Q. Q. Okay.
`
` Q. Q.
`
` A. A. And I actually don't quite remember the
`
` A. A.
`date, but I'm sure there's some additions to that.
`
` Q. Q. Fair enough.
`
` Q. Q.
`
`Page 19
`
` You have an appointment to the College
`of Pharmacy. Correct?
`
` A. A. Yes.
`
` A. A.
`
` Q. Q. Not to the Department of Chemistry.
`
` Q. Q.
`
` A. A. That's correct.
`
` A. A.
`
` Q. Q. Will you turn to page 2 of Senju
`
` Q. Q.
`Exhibit 2115. Under Classes Taught, Section IV, you
`teach no classes in the Department of Chemistry.
`Correct?
`
` A. A. That's true.
`
` A. A.
`
` Q. Q. Also on pages 2 through 3 under
`
` Q. Q.
`"Professional" -- under "Professional Memberships,"
`I do not see any membership to any chemical society
`or chemical association. Is that correct?
`
` A. A. I mean, what's listed in Section V is what
`
` A. A.
`I belong to, and there's not one -- the only one I
`know of is American Chemical Society, and I'm not a
`member of that.
`
` Q. Q. So you're not a member of the ACS.
`
` Q. Q.
`
` A. A. I'm not.
`
` A. A.
`
` Q. Q. If you turn to page 3, it talks about your
`
` Q. Q.

`

`not.
`

`

`solution formulations and suspension formulations

` So the characteristics are the same,
`but my application at the current time is not
`necessarily for the eye but for the lungs and nasal.
` So the properties of the materials, I
`mean, to me -- to a person of skill in the art would
`be quite similar.
`
` Q. Q. Okay. Under "Editorial Responsibilities,"
`
` Q. Q.
`
`Page 21
`
`that would be on page 6 -- 5 of 60. I don't see any
`chemical journals listed there; mostly
`pharmaceutical journals. Is that fair?
`
` A. A. That's -- yeah. I mean, these are the
`
` A. A.
`journals that I have reviewed for or served some
`kind of an editorial editorship or -- and I don't
`think -- there's one that -- I mean, the one I know
`is from AC -- one of the journals from the American
`Chemical Society, and I don't think I've reviewed
`for them.
`
` Q. Q. Okay. You haven't formulated with ascetic
`
` Q. Q.
`drug and BAC. Is that correct?
` MR. HASFORD: Objection. Vague and
`ambiguous.
`
` A. A. Sitting right here, I don't recall.
`
` A. A.
` BY MR. MALIK:
`
` Q. Q. So you don't ever recall formulating with
`
` Q. Q.
`an acetic NSAID and BAC.
` MR. HASFORD: Same objection.
`
` A. A. I mean, I've worked with NSAIDs, but I
`
` A. A.
`don't recall formulating them with benzalkonium
`chloride --

`
` Q. Q.
`
` A. A. Yes.
`
` A. A.
`
` Q. Q. In what context?
`
` Q. Q.
`
` A. A. For -- I do a lot of work in solubilization
`
` A. A.
`of water-insoluble drugs, and so polysorbate 80 is
`one of the non-ionic surfactants that I've looked at
`in solubilization and trying to control
`precipitation into making small particles.
` So -- and then I've looked at it in
`solution formulations as a wetting agent. So that's
`generally the context.
`
` Q. Q. Have you ever -- you have ever worked with
`
` Q. Q.
`tyloxapol before. Correct?
`

`BHT, it was there as a stabilizer for the active
`ingredient.
` BY MR. MALIK:
`
` Q. Q. How do you stabilize the active ingredient?
`
` Q. Q.
`
` A. A. In -- I think it was against oxidation in
`
` A. A.
`the particular example that I was using it.
`
` Q. Q. In connection with your work you use
`
` Q. Q.
`Remington's. Correct?
`
` A. A. Yes.
`
` A. A.
`
` Q. Q. How often do you use it?
`
` Q. Q.
`
` A. A. It's -- Remington's is one of the
`
` A. A.
`references that -- that I have. And I use -- and I
`consult with several references like Remington's,
`but I use it quite frequently.
`
` Q. Q. Do you also consult the Merck Index?
`
` Q. Q.
`
` A. A. Not so much.
`
` A. A.
`
` Q. Q. What about the Handbook of Pharmaceutical
`
` Q. Q.
`Excipients?
`
` A. A. I do. Yes.
`
` A. A.
`

`
` Q. Q. Turn to page -- Paragraph 4 of your
`
` Q. Q.
`declaration that is exhibit -- again, this is the
`902 case, Senju Exhibit 2082.
`
` A. A. Okay.
`
` A. A.
`
` Q. Q. It says you have experience with ophthalmic
`
` Q. Q.
`dosage forms including solutions.
` Do you see that?
`
` A. A. Yes.
`
` A. A.
`
` Q. Q. What is the nature of your experience?
`
` Q. Q.
`
` A. A. I have worked on ophthalmic -- there was an
`
` A. A.
`ophthalmic suspension, developing the formulation
`for it at one point.
`
` Q. Q. Do you recall the active pharmaceutical
`
` Q. Q.
`ingredient?
`
` A. A. I'm under a confidentiality agreement with
`
` A. A.
`that, so I do recall it, but ...
`
` Q. Q. Perhaps I can ask it a different way.
`
` Q. Q.
` I assume the active pharmaceutical --
`was the active pharmaceutical agreement an NSAID?

`
`
` A. A. It was not.
`
` A. A.
`
` Q. Q. Can you disclose what kind of compound,
`
` Q. Q.
`generally speaking, it is?
`
` A. A. It was antihistamine-type drug.
`
` A. A.
`
` Q. Q. Okay. Did the formulation include BAC?
`
` Q. Q.
`
` A. A. You know, it's been a while. I don't
`
` A. A.
`recall.
`
` Q. Q. Okay. Can you disclose when you were
`
` Q. Q.
`working on this formulation?
` And I'm not asking you to breach any
`confidentiality --
`
` A. A. Sure.
`
` A. A.
`
` Q. Q. -- obligation.
`
` Q. Q.
`
` A. A. I mean, it's been at least ten years. I
`
` A. A.
`actually don't remember. It's been a few years. I
`say ten because it's not in my -- it's been a while.
`
` Q. Q. Other than this one example -- other than
`
` Q. Q.
`the example you just gave us, do you recall any
`other ophthalmic dosage forms that you formulated?
`
` A. A. Yes, I do.
`
` A. A.
`
` Q. Q. What were those other dosage forms?
`
` Q. Q.
`
` A. A. That -- well, the one I just said with the
`
` A. A.
`
`Page 27
`
`antihistamine, as I recall, is a suspension.
` The next one was a solution.
`
` Q. Q. Okay. What was the nature of the active
`
` Q. Q.
`pharmaceutical ingredient?
`
` A. A. That one was sildenafil citrate.
`
` A. A.
` I was working with an ophthalmologist
`at one of our medical schools.
`
` Q. Q. Did that formulation have BAC in it?
`
` Q. Q.
`
` A. A. I don't recall.
`
` A. A.
`
` Q. Q. Other than the two examples you just gave,
`
` Q. Q.
`are there any other examples?
`
` A. A. Not that I recall sitting here.
`
` A. A.
`
` Q. Q. And the second example -- because I can't
`
` Q. Q.
`pronounce because the realtime is not working --
`when was that?
` When did you make that formulation?
`
` A. A. That was -- it was sometime in the early
`
` A. A.
`2000s.
`
` Q. Q. Okay. Let's see.

` In your declaration you have a section

`
` Q. Q. In connection with your declaration in the

`that correct?
`
` A. A. Yes.
`
` A. A.
`
` Q. Q. And also Dr. Myers. Is that correct?
`
` Q. Q.
`
` A. A. Yes.
`
` A. A.
`
` Q. Q. Sawa?
`
` Q. Q.
`
` A. A. Yes.
`
` A. A.
`
` Q. Q. And Mr. Paulson?
`
` Q. Q.
`
` A. A. Yes.
`
` A. A.
`
` Q. Q. Did you speak to any of these individuals?
`
` Q. Q.
`
` A. A. I have not.
`
` A. A.
`
` Q. Q. Have you read any of their deposition
`
` Q. Q.
`transcripts?
`
` A. A. Yes, I have.
`
` A. A.
`
` Q. Q. Which ones?
`
` Q. Q.
`
` A. A. Oh, wait. Let's see. Deposition
`
` A. A.
`transcripts?
`
` Q. Q. We can break it down.
`
` Q. Q.
` Have you read Dr. Davies -- have you
`read any deposition transcripts from Dr. Davies?
`
`Page 29
`
`
` A. A. I don't think I have.
`
` A. A.
`
` Q. Q. Okay.
`
` Q. Q.
`
` A. A. I don't recall.
`
` A. A.
`
` Q. Q. What about from Dr. Myers?
`
` Q. Q.
`
` A. A. I don't recall reviewing -- or reading his
`
` A. A.
`deposition transcript.
`
` Q. Q. Mr. Sawa?
`
` Q. Q.
`
` A. A. I don't recall, sitting here.
`
` A. A.
` I mean, if I've cited to it in my --
`cited any of their deposition transcripts, it would
`be in my report. I just don't -- it doesn't stand
`out right now, sitting here.
`
` Q. Q. And just for completion Mr. Paulson --
`
` Q. Q.
`Dr. Paulson. I'm sorry.
` Do you recall Dr. Paulson's -- reading
`a deposition transcript from Dr. Paulson?
`
` A. A. I do not.
`
` A. A.
`
` Q. Q. So the opinions in connection with your
`
` Q. Q.
`declaration labeled Senju Exhibit 2082 are based on
`the declarations submitted by Dr. Davies,
`Dr. Paulson, Dr. Myers, and Mr. Sawa. Is that fair?

`it mischaracterizes the witness's testimony.
`
` A. A. Unless I particularly cited to a passage
`
` A. A.
`from their deposition, I definitely relied on
`their -- on their declarations or expert reports.
` BY MR. MALIK:
`
` Q. Q. Okay. If I can direct your attention to
`
` Q. Q.
`Paragraph 45 of your declaration, you make reference
`to Dr. Laskar.
` Do you see that? 45 and 46.
`
` A. A. Yes.
`
` A. A.
`
` Q. Q. I assume in connection with your
`
` Q. Q.
`declaration you read Dr. Laskar's deposition -- I
`mean, declaration. I'm sorry.
`
` A. A. I did. Yes.
`
` A. A.
`
` Q. Q. Did you review his deposition transcript?
`
` Q. Q.
`
` A. A. Sitting here right now, I don't recall.
`
` A. A.
`But if I've cited to it in my report, then I have
`seen it. I just don't remember sitting here.
`
` Q. Q. Okay. Let me turn your attention to
`
` Q. Q.
`Section C which is on the same page, 18 of 126, in
`Senju Exhibit 2082 which addresses -- which is
`labeled "Claim Construction for 'Stable' and 'Amount
`
`Page 31
`
`Sufficient to Stabilize.'"
` Do you see that?
`
` A. A. Yes.
`
` A. A.
`
` Q. Q. Why did you include this section in your
`
` Q. Q.
`declaration?
`
` A. A. To give background on what the Court had
`
` A. A.
`decided for "Stable" and "Amount Sufficient to
`Stabilize."
`
` Q. Q. In rendering your opinion as contained in
`
` Q. Q.
`your declaration, did you use these constructions?
` MR. HASFORD: Objection. It's vague
`and ambiguous.
` BY MR. MALIK:
`
` Q. Q. And please feel free to look at your
`
` Q. Q.
`report, however you wish.
`
` A. A. I mean, my opinion is consistent with how
`
` A. A.
`the Court has construed "Stable" and "in an amount
`Sufficient to Stabilize" in the context of the '290
`patent and the other patents-in-suit.

`
` BY MR. MALIK:
`
`
` Q. Q. In what context, have you heard it before?
`
` Q. Q.
`
` A. A. Just in working with patents. That's the
`
` A. A.
`context.
`
`
` Q. Q. Do you know if there's any discussion of
`
` Q. Q.
`the broadest reasonable construction in your
`
`declaration marked Senju Exhibit 2082?
`
`
` A. A. I don't believe there is, but -- anyway,
`
` A. A.
`not that I'm aware of.
`
`
` Q. Q. Let me direct your attention to
`
` Q. Q.
`Paragraph 52 of your report. And please feel free
`
`to read the paragraph while we get the exhibit.
`
` Let me hand you what has been marked as
`
`Exhibit 2014.
`
` Dr. Williams, is Exhibit 2014 what is
`
`cited in Paragraph 53?
`
`
` A. A. Oh, I'm on 52.
`
` A. A.
`
` Q. Q. I'm sorry. 53 of your declaration.
`
` Q. Q.
`
`Page 33
`
`
` A. A. It is. Yes.
`
` A. A.
`
` Q. Q. Exhibit 2014 is the Rowe patent. Is that
`
` Q. Q.
`correct?
`
` A. A. Yes. That's right.
`
` A. A.
`
` Q. Q. And you cited it for the proposition of
`
` Q. Q.
`sodium sulfite is a well-known antioxidant.
` Do you see that?
`
` A. A. Yes.
`
` A. A.
`
` Q. Q. Can I -- can you please turn your attention
`
` Q. Q.
`to column 3, line 41.
`
` A. A. Okay.
`
` A. A.
`
` Q. Q. Do you see that this patent also identifies
`
` Q. Q.
`that, "The formulation may also contain a
`preservative, for example, benzalkonium
`chloride ..."?
`
` A. A. I mean, in this passage that I cite,
`
` A. A.
`there's several preservatives that are mentioned.
`Benzalkonium chloride is one of them. Plus a list
`here.
`
` Q. Q. Okay. Is there any discussion here about
`
` Q. Q.
`any dangers associated with benzalkonium chloride?
`
` A. A. Not in that passage. It's just listing
