`I.
`
`INTRODUCTION
`
`Case No.: IPR2016-01128
`Attorney Docket No.: 13351-0008IP2
`
`
`The Board should deny Petitioner’s request for additional discovery because
`
`the Petitioner has failed to satisfy the Garmin factors. At best, Petitioner is
`
`speculating that something useful regarding its contentions might be uncovered.
`
`Notably absent from the motion is any articulation of what useful information the
`
`production is expected to uncover. Instead, the motion only argues that the
`
`discovery is necessary to allow a “complete evaluation,” whatever that means.
`
`Petitioner’s motion appears to be a prelude for new arguments that are
`
`inconsistent with the petitions and declarations upon which review was instituted.
`
`The petitions relied upon the Sall (Ex. 1007) and Stevenson (Ex. 1015), peer-
`
`reviewed publications that describe the efficacy data of Allergan’s Phase II and
`
`Phase III studies, and stated that these publications contain the necessary
`
`information to answer the question of whether the efficacy results are significant.
`
`Allergan and its declarants (Drs. Sheppard and Loftsson) showed—contrary to
`
`Petitioner’s arguments—that the tear production efficacy data reported in Sall
`
`supported the unexpected results and criticality of the claimed formulation.
`
`Because Sall and Stevenson contradict, rather than support its position, Petitioner
`
`now asks for additional discovery presumably to undercut Sall and Stevenson.
`
`This is a new argument, and prohibited by the Board’s rules.
`
`1
`
`
`
`

`

`Moreover, this is not minor, targeted discovery for particular identified
`
`Case No.: IPR2016-01128
`Attorney Docket No.: 13351-0008IP2
`
`
`documents. Given the statutory time limits and necessarily streamlined IPR
`
`process (as compared to district court litigation), the Board must be conservative in
`
`ordering additional discovery. See 154 Cong. Rec. S9988-89 (daily ed. Sept. 27,
`
`2008). This request deals with complex and voluminous Phase II and Phase III
`
`clinical trials, which were submitted to FDA for approval of RESTASIS®. The
`
`requested discovery would involve the production of more than 60,000 pages of
`
`documents. The request is not tailored to meet a real need and should be denied.
`
`II. BACKGROUND
`
`
`
`During prosecution, Allergan submitted the declarations of Drs. Schiffman
`
`and Attar. The Examiner stated that the declarations showed the claimed
`
`formulation “is surprisingly critical for the therapeutic effectiveness in the
`
`treatment of dry eye or keratoconjunctivitis sicca” and “provide clear and
`
`convincing objective evidence that establishes the claimed formulations, including
`
`0.05% by weight cyclosporine A and 1.25% by weight castor oil, demonstrate
`
`surprising and unexpected results.” Ex. 1004, pp. 276-77. Petitioner
`
`acknowledges that “much of the same data relied upon as demonstrating
`
`unexpected equivalent efficacy of the 0.05% CsA emulsion and the 0.10% CsA
`
`emulsion [in the declarations] appear identical to graphs published more than one
`
`2
`
`
`
`

`

`year before the alleged priority date” in Sall. Petition at 48 (all citations to
`
`Case No.: IPR2016-01128
`Attorney Docket No.: 13351-0008IP2
`
`
`IPR2016-01127).
`
`
`
`Petitioner argued the declarations do not demonstrate unexpected results
`
`because they “failed to provide the necessary parameters for scientific
`
`interpretation, including raw data values and error rates.” Petition at 47-48. In
`
`contrast, Petitioner’s expert Dr. Amiji stated that Sall includes the necessary
`
`information “and can therefore answer the question of whether the results reported
`
`therein are significant.” Amiji at ¶ 131. Petitioner then argues that Sall and
`
`Stevenson do not support a conclusion of unexpected results. Petition at 50-51.
`
`
`
`The declarations also refer to PK studies conducted by Allergan.2 These
`
`studies show that less CsA reaches the relevant tissue for tear production—the
`
`lacrimal gland, conjunctiva, and cornea—with the 0.05% emulsion in comparison
`
`to the 0.10% emulsion. Ex. 1004, pp. 190-242. Petitioner and Dr. Amiji, do not
`
`                                                            
`2 Allergan previously produced the PK study comparing the two formulations in
`
`the Phase III study, which are also the formulations described in the specifications
`
`of the patents at issue in these IPRs, as Ex. 2026, because its experts relied on the
`
`study. Allergan has now produced the second PK study referenced in the
`
`declarations, which relates to the formulations in the Phase II trials.
`
`3
`
`
`
`

`

`argue these results are inaccurate but, rather, that because the declarations report
`
`Case No.: IPR2016-01128
`Attorney Docket No.: 13351-0008IP2
`
`
`“no raw values for CsA measured in the eye tissue, it entirely possible that all
`
`emulsions satisfy the concentration threshold for therapeutic efficacy, and that any
`
`increased delivery is immaterial.” See, e.g, Petition at 54; Amiji at ¶ 145.
`
`Petitioner’s argument goes to the conclusion drawn rather than the data itself.
`
`III. LEGAL STANDARD
`
`The Board applies an “interest of justice” standard when deciding whether to
`
`grant additional discovery. 35 U.S.C. §316(a)(5). As outlined in the Garmin case,
`
`the Board typically weigh five factors when considering additional discovery. The
`
`first Garmin factor, most important here, is “more than a possibility and mere
`
`allegation:”
`
`The mere possibility of finding something useful, and mere allegation
`that something useful will be found are insufficient. Thus, the party
`requesting discovery already should be in possession of a threshold
`amount of evidence or reasoning tending to show beyond speculation that
`something useful will be uncovered. “Useful” does not mean merely
`“relevant” or “admissible,” but rather means favorable in substantive
`value to a contention of the party moving for discovery.

`

`IV. ARGUMENT
`
`Case No.: IPR2016-01128
`Attorney Docket No.: 13351-0008IP2
`
`
`A. The Requested Discovery Will Not Uncover Anything Useful
`Petitioner has failed to articulate anything “more than a possibility and mere
`
`allegation” that the requested additional discovery will uncover anything useful.
`
`The petitions do not challenge the results of the conclusion that less CsA makes its
`
`way to the relevant ocular tissues when using the claimed 0.05% emulsion as
`
`compared to the 0.1% emulsion. Nonetheless, Allergan has produced both
`
`pharmacokinetic studies referenced in the declarations. Petitioner requests the
`
`underlying data, but has not shown that the studies are insufficient for its argument.
`
`With respect to the efficacy data, the motion makes only a conclusory
`
`argument. For example, “the absence of the underlying data for the Sall figures
`
`and PK studies precludes a complete evaluation of whether the data support
`
`Allergan’s contentions.” Motion at 6. No specifics of what is to be uncovered is
`
`provided.3 And, as noted above, this argument is inconsistent with arguments
`
`                                                            
`3 During the telephone conference with the Board, Petitioner referenced a court
`
`order to wrongly suggest that the court agreed with its position here. Circuit Judge
`
`Bryson, sitting by designation, denied the motion stating: “the fact that Dr.
`
`Schiffman drew his data from the Phase 3 Study and may have obtained several of
`
`his figures from the Sall Article does not necessarily establish that the Sall Article
`
`5
`
`
`
`

`

`made in the petitions, which explicitly argued that Sall includes the necessary
`
`Case No.: IPR2016-01128
`Attorney Docket No.: 13351-0008IP2
`
`
`information to answer whether the reported results are significant.
`
`This change in tactic is apparently in response to the Patent Owner Response
`
`proving that the claimed emulsion is more effective at increasing tear production
`
`than the prior art formulations. Patent Owner Response at 28-30. The reported
`
`Schirmer results show that the claimed 0.05% emulsion was statically significant
`
`better than placebo at three months while the 0.10% emulsion was not. At all times
`
`the claimed emulsion was numerically superior to the 0.10% emulsion. Based on
`
`thermodynamic principles and the PK data, this result was completely unexpected.
`
`Id. The Board should not allow additional discovery to support the injection of a
`
`new and improper argument into the IPRs.
`
`B. Petitioner’s Reliance On Corning Is Misplaced
`
`In Corning, the petitioner relied upon expert declarations concerning
`
`samples of the prior art compositions prepared for the IPR and tested the samples
`
`for the properties recited in the claims. IPR2013-0043, Paper 27 at 1-2. The
`
`request related to compositions synthesized for the case and explained that the
`
`                                                            
`anticipates (or renders obvious) the formulation that is recited in many of the
`
`claims of the patent in suit.” Ex. 2076 at 14.
`
`6
`
`
`
`

`

`declarations were missing information required to confirm that the compositions
`
`Case No.: IPR2016-01128
`Attorney Docket No.: 13351-0008IP2
`
`
`were those in the alleged prior art and to evaluate the reliability of the tests
`
`performed. Id. On those facts, the Board ordered production of the lab notebooks.
`
`Id. Here, the requested information was not generated by Allergan for this case.
`
`
`
`Even if this request was similar to the request in Corning—which it is not,
`
`because the requested information was not generated by Allergan for this case—
`
`this request is more like the request for samples. But the Board denied that request
`
`because the moving party argued only that samples “are important and useful for
`
`DSM to independently evaluate” and did not explain why cross-examination and
`
`review of documents was insufficient. Id. Here, Petitioner similarly has made
`
`only conclusory arguments that the documents are needed to allow a “complete
`
`evaluation,” does not explain why all of the technical experts in these IPRs—Drs.
`
`Amiji, Sheppard, and Loftsson—were all able to offer opinions without reviewing
`
`the underlying data, and has not explained why it cannot obtain the information it
`
`seeks through cross-examination using the declarations, PK study reports, and the
`
`Phase II and III results reported in Sall and Stevenson.
`
`V. CONCLUSION
`
`For all of these reasons, the Board should deny Petitioner’s motion for
`
`additional discovery.
