`
`
`
`Case IPR2016-00822
`U.S. Patent No. 7,064,197
`
`
`
`
`
`
`I, Barry W. Weiner, a resident of New York, New York over 18 years of
`
`age, hereby declare as follows:
`
`
`1.
`
`I have personal knowledge of all of the matters about which I testify
`
`in this declaration.
`
`
`2.
`
`I am currently a Vice President of Enzo Life Sciences, Inc. (“Enzo”)
`
`and have been the President of its parent company, Enzo Biochem, Inc., since
`
`1996. From 1976 until 1996 I was a Vice President of Enzo Biochem, Inc. As
`
`Vice President, I was responsible for managing the operations of Enzo, and I was
`
`aware of Enzo’s program to develop technologies involving nucleic acid
`
`hybridization and detection using non-porous solid supports in the early 1980s.
`
`
`3.
`
`During the period spanning January of 1982 to September of 1982, I
`
`was knowledgeable about the research and development activities of Enzo
`
`scientists Dollie Kirtikar, Ph.D., Barbara Thalenfeld, Ph.D., Elazar Rabbani, Ph.D.,
`
`Jannis Stavrianopoulos, Ph.D., and Kenneth Johnston, Ph.D.—the co-inventors
`
`identified on U.S. Patent No. 7,064,197 (“the ‘197 Patent”). I will hereinafter refer
`
`to those particular scientists collectively as “the Co-Inventors”. During that period,
`
`Dr. Rabbani was Chief Executive Officer of Enzo Biochem and each of the other
`
`Co-Inventors was an employee of Enzo Biochem.
`
`
`4.
`
`From January of 1982 to September of 1982, the Co-Inventors
`
`conducted research and development activities related to nucleic acid hybridization
`
`
`
`Exhibit 2143 Page 2
`
`
`
`Case IPR2016-00822
`U.S. Patent No. 7,064,197
`
`
`
`
`
`
`and detection in Enzo BioChem’s facility located at 325 Hudson Street, New York,
`
`New York, 10113. Among the research and development activities conducted by
`
`the Co-Inventors were efforts to develop technologies involving nucleic acid
`
`hybridization and detection using non-porous solid supports. Those efforts
`
`resulted in the inventions that are now claimed in the ‘197 Patent.
`
`
`5.
`
`During the period from January of 1982 to September of 1982, it was
`
`the regular practice of all Enzo scientists to keep laboratory notebooks that
`
`recorded the procedures and results of the experiments they performed. Each entry
`
`in those laboratory notebooks was made at or near the time of the experiment and
`
`was recorded by the Enzo scientists performing or overseeing the experiment.
`
`Each entry in those laboratory notebooks was made in the course of Enzo’s
`
`regularly conducted activities, namely research and development of nucleic acid
`
`technologies.
`
`
`6.
`
`The Co-Inventors followed this regular practice of recording their
`
`research and development activities regarding nucleic acid hybridization and
`
`detection technology using non-porous solid supports (that led to the inventions of
`
`the ‘197 Patent) in laboratory notebooks and other documents. Among those
`
`laboratory notebooks and other documents are Exhibits 2135 and 2137-2141
`
`attached to this Declaration.

`U.S. Patent No. 7,064,197
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`7.
`
`Since at least January 1982, Enzo has maintained the laboratory
`
`notebooks of Enzo scientists in the ordinary course of business, storing those
`
`laboratory notebooks at Enzo facilities.
`
`
`8.
`
`Exhibits 2135 and 2137-2141 are documents, including lab notebooks
`
`of certain Co-Inventors, that were created in 1982 and stored at either Enzo’s
`
`facilities or its counsel’s office since that time. Those exhibits were provided to
`
`Enzo’s counsel in connection with an on-going litigation regarding the ‘197 Patent
`
`in approximately August of 2013.
