`
`INTRODUCTION
`
`1.
`
`I, Hans Maag, Sc.D., have been retained by White & Case LLP, counsel
`
`for Patent Owner UCB Pharma GmbH (“UCB”), as an expert witness in the above-
`
`captioned inter partes reviews of United States Patent Nos. 7,384,980 (the ‘"980
`
`patent”), 7,855,230 (the “‘230 patent”), 8,338,478 (the “‘478 patent”), and
`
`7,985,772 (the “‘772 patent”)
`
`(collectively,
`
`the “‘980 patent
`
`family”) and
`
`6,858,650 (the “‘650 patent”).
`
`I understand that Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc. and
`
`Mylan Laboratories Limited (collectively with Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc.,
`
`“Petitioner”) have petitioned for inter partes review of the ‘980 patent family and
`
`the ‘650 patent, and request that the United States Patent and Trademark Office
`
`(“PTO”) cancel as unpatentable certain claims of the ‘980 patent family and the
`
`‘650 patent.
`
`2. This declaration sets forth my analyses and opinions based on the
`
`materials I have considered thus far, as well as the bases for my opinions.
`
`I
`
`understand that this declaration will be used in each of the above mentioned inter
`
`partes reviews, as the subject matter is overlapping.
`
`A.
`
`Background and Qualifications
`
`3.
`
`I am a medicinal chemist with thirty-five (35) years of professional
`
`experience in organic and medicinal chemistry in the pharmaceutical industry.
`
`I
`
`am currently Principal of Chemistry & Drug Discovery Consulting, LLC. A copy
`
`Patent Owner, UCB Pharma GmbH — Exhibit 2021 - 0003
`
`
`
`of my curriculum vitae is attached hereto as Exhibit 2030. My educational
`
`background and my professional experience are summarized below.
`
`4.
`
`I obtained a Diploma degree (equivalent to a Bachelor of Science degree)
`
`in Chemistry in 1969, and a Sc.D. in Organic Chemistry in 1973, from the Federal
`
`Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich, Switzerland.
`
`I then conducted two (2)
`
`years of post-doctoral work at California Institute of Technology (Cal Tech) (1973-
`
`l975), where my research interests included studies on the synthesis of the
`
`steroidal antibiotic fusidic acid. Synthesis is the process by which a molecule is
`
`constructed from commercially available precursors. Synthesis of drug substances
`
`frequently involves the design of a target compound structure,
`
`followed by
`
`synthesis and testing of the compound. Based on the testing results obtained, the
`
`next target structure is designed, synthesized, and tested.
`
`5.
`
`I also have extensive industry experience in medicinal chemistry, which I
`
`obtained at Hoffmann-LaRoche Inc.
`
`(“Hoffman11—LaRoche"), Syntex Discovery
`
`Research (“Syntex”), Roche Bioscience and Roche Palo Alto LLC (collectively,
`
`“Roche”). From 1975 to 1985, I served as Senior Scientist, Assistant Research
`
`Group Chief, and Research Fellow at Hoffmann-LaRoche.
`
`Among other
`
`responsibilities, I was in charge of the synthesis of antibiotics, cardiovascular
`
`agents of the prostaglandin type, and compounds targeting central nervous system
`
`(“CNS”) diseases.
`
`Patent Owner, UCB Pharma GmbH — Exhibit 2021 - 0004
`
`
`
`6.
`
`In 1985, I moved to Syntex, where I served as Research Section Leader
`
`of the Institute of Bio—Organic Chemistry and Principal Scientist of the Institute of
`
`Organic Chemistry.
`
`In 1995, Syntex was acquired by Roche.
`
`I remained at Roche
`
`until
`
`the facility closed in 2010. During that time,
`
`I served as the Principal
`
`Scientist and Program Leader, Senior Research Scientist, Acting Director of
`
`Medicinal Chemistry, Director of Medicinal Chemistry, and Vice President of the
`
`Neurobiology Unit, eventually being named Vice President and Deputy Head of
`
`Chemistry for Roche Palo Alto. There, I led numerous project teams, from early
`
`drug discovery and lead identification stages to preclinical development and
`
`Investigational New Drug Application (“IND”) stages.
`
`7. At Syntex and Roche, a focus of my work in medicinal chemistry was the
`
`design of drug compounds to treat viral infections, incontinence, pain, depression,
`
`cognitive deficits, as well as modulators of the immune system.
`
`In particular, I led
`
`a medicinal chemistry group for the preclinical development of a prodrug of the
`
`antiviral agent ganciclovir.
`
`In addition, from 1996 to 2003,
`
`I headed a lead
`
`optimization program directed at an incontinence target and a preclinical
`
`overactive bladder (“OAB”) drug development effort.
`
`In this role, I directed an
`
`OAB team that researched lead compounds for the development of novel anti-
`
`muscarinic compounds, two (2) of which made it to the clinical phase. As a part of
`
`Patent Owner, UCB Pharma GmbH — Exhibit 2021 - 0005
`
`
`
`this project,
`
`I familiarized myself with the scientific literature on OAB and
`
`attended conferences on OAB drug development.
`
`8. In 2010,
`
`I founded Chemistry & Drug Discovery Consulting, LLC,
`
`through which I have advised, and continue to advise, biotech and pharmaceutical
`
`companies in the United States and in Europe on all aspects of medicinal
`
`chemistry.
`
`I provide advice on wide—ranging aspects of medicinal chemistry and
`
`synthetic chemistry to companies engaged in preclinical drug discovery and
`
`development, with a particular focus on identifying successful lead compounds for
`
`drug development.
`
`9.
`
`I have taught organic chemistry at Stanford University, serving as a
`
`Consulting Professor of Chemistry from 1995 to 1997.
`
`In addition,
`
`I have
`
`authored or co—authored over twenty (20) original papers pertaining to medicinal
`
`and synthetic chemistry, including prodrug chemistry.
`
`1 also served as one (1) of
`
`the editors of the two (2)-volume book entitled PRODRUGS: CHALLENGES AND
`
`REWARDS (Valentino J. Stella et al. eds., 2007). More recently, I authored a paper
`
`on the role of prodrugs for oral drug delivery. Maag, H., Overcoming Poor
`
`Permeability — The Role 0fPr'0drugs for Oral Drug Delivery, DRUG DISCOVERY
`
`TODAY: TECHS., 9, 121-30 (2012).
`
`I am also an inventor or co—inventor on over
`
`twenty (20) patents,
`
`including patents covering prodrugs and drugs targeting
`
`Patent Owner, UCB Pharma GmbH — Exhibit 2021 - 0006
`
`
`
`muscarinic receptors.
`
`The patents and publications are fully listed in my
`
`curriculum vitae attached as Exhibit 2030.
`
`B. Materials Considered

`10. The opinions that
`
`I express in this declaration are based on the
`
`information and evidence Currently available to me. The following table lists the
`

`
`SUMMARY OF OPINIONS
`
`11.
`
`I have reviewed the Declaration of Steven E. Patterson, Ph.D.
`
`(the
`
`“Patterson Decl.”), Petitioner’s Petition for inter partes review of U.S. Patent Nos.
`
`7,384,980, 7,855,230, 8,338,478, 7,985,772, and 6,858,650,
`
`the specifications,
`
`claims, and file histories of the ‘980 patent family, as well as the ‘650 patent and
`
`its associated file history, and the PTAB’s Decisions on Institution.
`
`I disagree with
`
`a number of the opinions expressed in the Patterson Declaration and the positions
`
`taken in the Petitions regarding the obviousness of the challenged claims of the
`
`‘980 patent family and the ‘650 patent. The Petitions alleges that the challenged
`
`claims would have been obvious because the fumarate salt form of fesoterodine
`
`would have been obvious.
`
`I disagree.
`
`It is my opinion that fesoterodine fumarate
`
`would not have been obvious to a person of ordinary skill in the art.
`
`In particular,
`
`it is my opinion that it would not have been obvious to develop a prodrug of 5-
`
`hydroxymethyltolterodine (“5-HMT”), tolterodine’s active metabolite, for use as
`
`an improved OAB drug.
`
`10
`
`Patent Owner, UCB Pharma GmbH — Exhibit 2021 - 0012
`
`
`
`12.
`
`I disagree that a person of skill in the art likely would have selected 5-
`
`HMT as a lead compound over the many, other available options as of the relevant
`
`date; a skilled artisan would have been just as likely, if not more likely, to select
`
`one of the many other compounds known in the art as promising leads for a new
`
`OAB drug candidate.
`
`13. Additionally, there is nothing in the prior art that would have suggested
`
`to a person of skill in the art that a prodrug of 5-I-IMT would provide any favorable
`
`or improved properties over tolterodine or any other OAB drug.
`
`If anything,
`
`highly relevant prior art suggested that a 5—HMT prodrug would be inferior to
`
`tolterodine, at least as to side effects, and particularly at doses escalated above the
`
`then-approved dosages of tolterodine.
`
`The reasons that Dr. Patterson offers for
`
`why a person of skill in the art would have pursued a prodrug of 5-HMT are
`
`factually inaccurate, unsupported by the prior art, and,
`
`in my view, hindsight-
`
`driven in order to mirror the same design approach taken by the Inventors of the
`
`‘98O patent family and the ‘650 patent.
`
`14. The true state of the art was that there was considerable and diverse
`
`research being undertaken in furtherance of developing new and improved OAB
`
`drugs as of 1998, including in my group at Roche, yet I am not aware of any other
`
`scientist or research team that considered a prodrug of 5—HMT, of any other
`
`tolterodine analog, or of any other non-specific antimuscarinic, which both
`
`11
`
`Patent Owner, UCB Pharma GmbH — Exhibit 2021 - 0013
`
`
`
`tolterodine and 5-HMT are.
`
`Instead, the state of the art was focused on identifying
`
`agents
`
`that had new or
`
`improved mechanisms of action, or
`
`identifying
`
`antimuscarinic agents that exhibited improved “tissue selectivity” for the bladder
`
`over other organs, with the ultimate goal of providing a more effective drug. Dr.
`
`Patterson has not identified, and I am not aware of, any reason why a person of
`
`skill in the art would have suspected that a prodrug of 5—HMT would have met
`
`either of those goals.
`
`15.
`
`It
`
`is also my opinion that
`
`fesoterodine was a surprisingly and
`
`unexpectedly superior compound.
`
`In particular, fesoterodine was surprisingly and
`
`unexpectedly superior
`
`to novel
`
`structural analogs
`
`that were designed and
`
`synthesized by the Inventors.
`
`It was also surprisingly and unexpectedly superior
`
`relative to the prior art compounds tolterodine and the active metabolite of
`
`tolterodine, 5-HMT. These unexpected results of fesoterodine are demonstrated by
`
`numerous data, including the data reported in the ‘65O patent and the ‘980 patent
`
`families, and preclinical and clinical
`
`testing conducted in the development of
`
`fesoterodine by Schwarz Pharma AG (“Schwarz”) and Pfizer.
`
`l6. Notably, it is my opinion that fesoterodine achieved an ideal balance of
`
`properties in terms of metabolic conversion, permeability, bioavailability, off-
`
`target effects, stability, and safety. This optimal balance of properties is extremely
`
`difficult to achieve; that any compound would achieve this balance of properties
`
`12
`
`Patent Owner, UCB Pharma GmbH — Exhibit 2021 - 0014
`
`
`
`could not have been predicted by a person skilled in the art at
`
`the time of
`
`fesoterodine’s
`
`invention.
`
`Nor could a skilled person have predicted that
`
`fesoterodine, in particular, would achieve this balance, especially as compared to
`
`the numerous other
`
`structurally similar prodrug compounds
`
`the Inventors
`
`synthesized and tested.
`
`lll. LEGAL STANDARDS
`
`17.
`
`I am not an attorney, and therefore, my understanding of patent law and
`
`the legal standards set forth in this report is based on explanations provided by
`
`counsel.
`
`18.
`
`I understand that even if an alleged claimed invention is not identically
`
`disclosed or described in a single piece of prior art, the patent claim may still be
`
`unpatentable if the differences between the claimed invention and the prior art
`
`(alone or in combination) are such that the claimed invention as a whole would
`
`have been obvious to a person having ordinary skill
`
`in the art at the time the
`
`invention was made.
`
`I understand that the level of ordinary skill in the pertinent
`
`art is evaluated as of the time of the invention, here the effective filing date of the
`
`‘980 patent family.
`
`19.
`
`I also understand that, in addressing obviousness, the following factors
`
`must be considered from the perspective of a hypothetical person of ordinary skill
`
`in the relevant art: (1) the scope and content of the prior art; (2) the differences
`
`13
`
`Patent Owner, UCB Pharma GmbH — Exhibit 2021 - 0015
`
`
`
`between the claimed invention and the prior art; (3) the level of ordinary skill in
`
`the art; and (4) any other indications (“objective indicia”) of non—obviousness, such
`
`as commercial success,
`
`long—felt but unsolved needs, failure of others, industry
`
`acclaim, and unexpected results.
`
`20.
`
`I understand that if an experiment
`
`leads to unexpected results or a
`
`compound exhibits unexpected properties, that result or compound likely would
`
`not have been obvious to a person of ordinary skill in the pertinent art. In that
`
`instance, such unexpected results or properties suggest that the compound would
`
`not have been obvious.
`
`21.
`
`I understand that prior art references may be combined to render a claim
`
`obvious if a person of ordinary skill
`
`in the art would have been motivated to
`
`combine those teachings to derive the claimed subject matter with a reasonable
`
`expectation of success.
`
`I also understand that the use of hindsight to select or
`
`combine prior art references is improper for purposes of an obviousness analysis.
`
`22.
`
`I understand that in considering obviousness, it is relevant to consider
`
`whether the art includes references that “teach away” from the claimed invention.
`
`1 have been informed that a reference teaches away from the claimed invention if a
`
`person of ordinary skill,
`
`reading the reference, would be discouraged from
`
`following the path of the claimed invention or would be led in a divergent
`
`direction.
`
`14
`
`Patent Owner, UCB Pharma GmbH — Exhibit 2021 - 0016
`
`
`
`23.
`
`I also understand that for a chemical compound to be unpatentable as
`
`obvious, generally there is identified a lead compound (or compounds) in the prior
`
`art that would have reasonably been the subject of further development work by a
`
`person of skill in the art seeking to discover a new and improved drug.
`
`I also
`
`understand that for a chemical compound to be unpatentable as obvious there must
`
`be some reason why a person of ordinary skill in the art would have made the
`
`specific molecular modifications necessary to convert the lead compound(s) into
`
`the claimed compound.
`
`I also understand that for a chemical compound to be
`
`unpatentable as obvious a person of skill
`
`in the art would have a reasonable
`
`expectation that the compound would be successful, in that it would work for its
`
`intended purpose.
`
`IV.
`
`THE CHALLENGED CLAIMS
`
`24.
`
`I understand that Petitioner has petitioned for review and cancellation of
`
`the following claims (collectively, the “challenged claims”):
`
`0 Claims 1-16 of the ‘980 patent;
`
`0 Claims 1-5 of the ‘230 patent;
`
`0 Claims 1-3, 5-8, and 10-12 ofthe ‘478 patent;
`
`I Claims 1, 3, 4, and 6-8 ofthe ‘772 patent; and
`
`0 Claims 1-5 and 21-24 of the ‘65O patent.
`
`15
`
`Patent Owner, UCB Pharma GmbH — Exhibit 2021 - 0017
`
`
`
`25.
`
`I understand that the challenged claims cover the chemical compound
`
`fesoterodine, which is the active ingredient in Toviaz®, salt forms of fesoterodine,
`
`pharmaceutical compositions containing fesoterodine, or methods of treating
`
`overactive bladder (“OAB”) with fesoterodine.
`
`26.
`
`I understand that Petitioner alleges that the challenged claims are invalid
`
`because fesoterodine and the use of fesoterodine to treat OAB would have been
`
`obvious as of the priority date of the ‘980 patent family and/or the ‘650 patent.
`
`27.
`
`I understand that the priority date of the ‘980 patent family is May 12,
`
`1998.
`
`I understand that the priority date of the ‘650 patent is November 16, 1999.
`
`I note that Dr. Patterson assessed the prior art as of May 11, 1998 in his
`
`Declaration. Patterson Decl. at fl 24.
`
`I have conducted my analysis on the basis of
`
`May 12, 1998 for the ‘980 patent family and November 16, 1999 for the ‘650
`
`patent, but I note that my opinion would not change if I assessed the prior art for
`
`all patents as of May 11, 1998.
`
`28.
`
`I understand that between July 20-26, 2016,
`
`the PTAB instituted an
`
`inter partes review of the challenged claims on the following grounds:
`
`0
`
`Obviousness over the combination of Postlind (Exhibit 1010),
`
`the
`
`Bundgaard Publications (Exhibits 1012 and 1020), the Detrol® Label
`
`(Exhibit 1009), and Berge (Exhibit 1013); and
`
`16
`
`Patent Owner, UCB Pharma GmbH — Exhibit 2021 - 0018
`
`
`
`0
`
`Obviousness over the combination of Brynne (Exhibit 1011),
`
`the
`
`Bundgaard Publications (Exhibits 1012 and 1020), and Johansson
`
`(Exhibit 1005).
`
`Paper 12 (July 20, 2016) (‘“980 Decision”) at 29; Paper 12 (July 22, 2016) (“‘230
`
`Decision”) at 29; Paper 12 (July 26, 2016) (“‘478 Decision”) at 30; Paper 12 (July
`
`20, 2016) (“‘772 Decision”) at 29; Paper 12 (July 20, 2016) (“‘650 Decision”) at
`
`29.
`
`29.
`
`I provided expert testimony in the action, Pfizer Inc. et al., v. Sandoz
`
`Inc., CA. No. 13-1110-GMS (D. Del.), also related to the “980 patent family and
`
`the ‘650 patent.
`
`I was cited by the Court for a number of facts relevant to the
`
`Court’s determination that the asserted claims of the ‘980 patent family and the
`
`‘650 patent were not obvious. See Exs. 2001, 2006 at 13-15, 18. The Court
`
`determined that
`
`1 am an expert
`
`in the fields of medicinal chemistry and drug
`
`design, including OAB drug design and prodrug design. See Ex. 2006 at 523:11-
`
`17 (July 15, 2015).
`
`30.
`
`1 have also provided expert
`
`testimony in the form of reports and
`
`deposition testimony in the pending action between the parties to this proceeding,
`
`Pfizer Inc. and UCB Pharma GmbH 12. Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc, No. 1:15-Cv-
`
`000079(GMS) (D. Del.), also related to the ‘980 patent family and the ‘650 patent.
`
`17
`
`Patent Owner, UCB Pharma GmbH — Exhibit 2021 - 0019
`
`
`
`31. In view of my work as an expert in the above cases and my review of
`
`materials in connection with this declaration,
`
`I am knowledgeable about
`
`the
`
`chemical and biological properties of tolterodine and its metabolite 5—HMT as well
`
`as about the compound fesoterodine and the fumarate salt form of that compound.
`
`I am also knowledgeable about OAB drug design at and around the time of the
`
`priority date since I was working in this very field at the relevant time.
`
`V.
`
`PERSON HAVING ORDINARY SKILL IN THE ART
`
`32.
`
`It is my view that a person having ordinary skill in the art to which the
`
`‘980 patent family and the ‘650 patent pertain would have at least a Ph.D. or Sc.D.
`
`degree in Chemistry or Pharmacology, or would be a highly skilled scientist
`
`lacking a Ph.D. or Sc.D., but with several years of experience working with
`
`pharmaceutical compound synthesis or pharmacology. Such a person would be
`
`familiar with the
`
`synthesis, optimization,
`
`and testing of pharmaceutical
`
`compounds; with the desired and favorable characteristics of pharmaceutical
`
`compounds; and with the tests and data designed to discern those characteristics.
`
`Because the patents relate to the field of treatment of OAB with pharmaceuticals,
`
`the person of ordinary skill in the art would review the prior art regarding the
`
`physiology of the bladder,
`
`the causes and symptoms of OAB, and the
`
`pharmaceuticals used to treat OAB.
`
`18
`
`Patent Owner, UCB Pharma GmbH — Exhibit 2021 - 0020
`
`
`
`33.
`
`I have reviewed Dr. Patterson’s definition of a person of ordinary skill
`
`in the art. See, e.g.,
`
`‘650 Pet. at 6 (citing Patterson Decl. at W 22-23).
`
`I also
`
`understand that the PTAB has accepted Petitioner’s definition for purposes of
`
`institution. See, e. g., ‘650 Decision at 6.
`
`34.
`
`l have applied my definition in forming my opinions. However, my
`
`opinions do not change if I apply Petitioner’s definition of a person of ordinary
`
`skill in the art.
`
`V1. OAB DRUGS AND DRUG DEVELOPMENT AS OF 1998
`
`A.
`
`Antimuscarinic and Mixed Action Drugs
`
`35. Antimuscarinic compounds block the action of acetylcholine, preventing
`
`abnormal detrusor contractions
`
`from occurring and hopefully relieving the
`
`patient’s symptoms.
`
`Because they block these contractions, antimuscarinic
`
`compounds have long been used to treat OAB. However, muscarinic receptors are
`
`present in a variety of tissues in addition to the bladder, such as the heart, brain,
`
`gut, and salivary glands. Administration of antimuscarinic compounds to patients
`
`can therefore have effects other than preventing bladder contractions;
`
`they can
`
`increase heart rate, produce central nervous system (“CNS”) side effects like
`
`dizziness or confusion, cause constipation, or prevent secretion of saliva, resulting
`
`in dry mouth. See, e.g., A. R. Wein et al., Pharmacologic Treatment of Voiding
`
`Dysfunction, in URODYNAMICSZ PRINCIPLES, PRACTICE AND APPLICATION, at 53 (A.
