`B. Ground One: McLeskey ..................................................................... 34
`1. McLeskey describes the fulvestrant formulations as a

`(subcutaneous) with vastly different subjects (genetically
`engineered mice) ...................................................................... 42

`suggestion of the specific blood plasma levels and
`durations claimed ..................................................................... 46

`
`INTRODUCTION
`
`The ’122 Patent claims are method of treatment claims—methods to treat
`
`hormonal dependent breast cancer with the active ingredient (fulvestrant)
`
`administered intramuscularly with a combination of ingredients that interact with
`
`the muscle, to provide and maintain specific blood levels over extended periods of
`
`time. At the time the patent application was filed, the skilled artisan reviewing the
`
`prior art would never have expected it to be a successful treatment—it combined
`
`an active ingredient with then-unproven efficacy administered through the
`
`unpredictable intramuscular route using ingredients that interact with the muscle in
`
`a still-unknown manner to achieve blood plasma levels that differed from then-
`
`conventional wisdom and were maintained for 2-5 weeks.
`
`The Petition uses the patent claims to filter out unknowns, failures, and
`
`critical
