`
`My name is Dr. Eduardo A. Padlan. Counsel for Mylan Pharmaceuticals
`
`Inc. (“Mylan”) retained me to provide my opinion regarding U.S. Patent No.
`
`6,407,213 (the ’213 patent) [Ex. 1001], which is assigned to Genentech, Inc. I
`
`understand that Mylan intends to file a petition for inter partes review of the ’213
`
`patent, and will request that the United States Patent and Trademark Office cancel
`
`certain claims of the ’213 patent as unpatentable in the petition. My opinions in this
`
`expert declaration supports Mylan’s request for inter partes review of the ’213 patent,
`
`and cancellation of the claims.
`
`I.
`
`QUALIFICATIONS AND BACKGROUND
`
`A.
`
`2.
`
`Education and Experience
`
`I completed my undergraduate studies in 1960 at the University of the
`
`Philippines, majoring in Physics. I obtained my Ph.D in Biophysics from Johns
`
`Hopkins University in 1968, working on X-ray crystallography of the hemoglobin
`
`protein from Glycera dibranchiata, a marine annelid worm, in the laboratory of Dr.
`
`Warner E. Love. I continued to work at Johns Hopkins University, first as a Research
`
`Associate from 1969 to 1971, then again as a Research Scientist from 1978 to 1983. I
`
`subsequently completed an M.S. in Computer Science at Johns Hopkins University in
`
`1984.
`
`3.
`
`I was also a scientist at the Laboratory of Molecular Biology, National
`
`Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, National Institutes of Health
`
`PETITIONER'S EXHIBITS
`
`Exhibit 1003 Page 8 of 223
`
`
`
`(NIH) from 1971-1978, as a Visiting Associate and then a Visiting Scientist, where I
`
`first started working on antibodies in the laboratory of Dr. David R. Davies. I
`
`returned to the NIH in 1983, working as an Expert from 1983 to 1987, as a Visiting
`
`Scientist from 1987-1997, and then as a Research Physicist from 1997-2000. I
`
`received tenure-track status at the NIH in 1987, continuing my work on antibody
`
`structure and function. I retired from the NIH in 2000.
`
`4.
`
`I have been an Adjunct and Visiting Professor for various academic
`
`institutions in the United States and the Philippines, teaching structural biology and
`
`protein engineering. From 1960-63, and again from 1968-1969, I was on the Faculty
`
`at the Department of Physics, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the
`
`Philippines, Diliman. I was on the Faculty for the Foundation for Advanced
`
`Education in the Sciences, NIH from 1984-1997. In 1992, I also served as an Adjunct
`
`Professor, Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Medical University of
`
`South Carolina. I served in various positions from 1998 to 2013, including as a
`
`Visiting Professor, College of Science, University of the Philippines (1998-2002),
`
`Affiliate Professor, School of Science and Engineering, Ateneo de Manila University
`
`(2000-2002), Visiting Professor, Graduate School, University of Santo Tomas (2003)
`
`and as Adjunct Professor, Institute of Chemistry, College of Arts and Sciences,
`
`University of the Philippines, Los Banos (2002-2005). From 2002 to 2013, I was an
`
`-2-

`
`Exhibit 1003 Page 9 of 223
`
`
`
`Adjunct Professor at the Marine Science Institute, College of Science at the University
`
`of the Philippines, Diliman.
`
`5.
`
`I have served as an editor or co-editor of several research journals,
`
`including ImmunoMethods (vol. 1, no. 2 (1992)), Protein Engineering Section,
`
`Current Opinion in Biotechnology (vol. 8 (1997)), Selected Essays on Science and
`
`Technology for Securing a Better Philippines (vol. 1 (2008)), and Philippine Science
`
`Letters (2008-2014). I served as a member on Advisory and Editorial Boards of
`
`Molecular Immunology (1980-1999), Macromolecular Structures (1993-1997) and
`
`Receptor (1990-1996). I have been a guest lecturer at many academic institutions
`
`both in the United States and in the Philippines throughout my career.
`
`6.
`
`I have also worked as a consultant since 1989 (i.e., before my retirement
`
`from the NIH) up to the present. As a consultant, I helped to design humanized
`
`antibodies for various biotechnology companies, including Merck Sharpe and Dohme,
`
`Biogen Inc., MedImmune Inc., T Cell Sciences Inc., IDEC Pharmaceuticals Corp.,
`
`SmithKline Beecham, Medarex Inc., Tanox Biosystems, System Research Inc.,
`
`Biogen Idec, BioMedicas, Inc., NeoGenix Oncology, Inc., PharMab Inc., A&G
`
`Pharmaceutical Inc., Synthetic Biologics Inc., Bio-Technology General, Ltd. (Israel)
`
`and Tanabe Research Laboratories.

`
`I have many granted patents and pending applications, as well as primary
`
`references and review articles published in the field of molecular biology,
`
`computational biosciences and antibody humanization, totaling more than 200
`
`scientific patents, papers and references. Many of my research articles have received
`
`recognition from the scientific community, including my first research article on the
`
`crystal structure of Glycera dibranchiata hemoglobin, that was published in the
`
`scientific journal NATURE, and which was featured in the “Science Report” section of
`
`THE TIMES OF LONDON shortly after its publication in 1968.
`
`9.
`
`Other research articles, many before June 1991, highlight our
`
`crystallography and structural emphasis of antibodies, including several PROCEEDING
`
`OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCE (PNAS) journal articles (see Segal et al.

`
`Previous Litigation Experience
`
`I have served as an expert witness in two patent proceedings:
`

`
`
`

`
`I have been retained by Mylan as a technical expert in this matter to
`
`provide various opinions regarding the ’213 patent. I receive $400 per hour for my
`
`services. No part of my compensation is dependent upon my opinions given or the
`
`outcome of this case. I do not have any current or past affiliation with Genentech, Inc.,
`
`or any of the named inventors on the ’213 patent.
`
`II.
`
`Legal Standards
`
`14.
`
`For my opinions in this declaration, I understand that it requires applying
`
`various legal principles. As I am not an attorney, I have been informed about various
`
`legal principles that involve my analysis. I have used my understanding of those
`
`principles in forming my opinions. I can summarize those principles as I understand
`
`them below.
`
`15.
`
`For example, I have been told that Mylan bears the burden of proving
`
`unpatentability in this proceeding by a preponderance of the evidence. I am informed
`
`that this preponderance of the evidence standard means that Mylan must show that
`
`unpatentability is more probable than not.
`
`16.
`
`I have also been told that when I review and consider the claims, the
`
`claims should be construed to be given what is called their broadest reasonable
`
`interpretation in light of the specification, when those claims are further viewed from
`
`-6-
`
`PETITIONER'S EXHIBITS
`
`Exhibit 1003 Page 13 of 223
`
`
`
`the perspective of a person of ordinary skill in the art. (I discuss who qualifies as the
`
`person of ordinary skill in the art in more detail below).
`
`17.
`
`I have been asked to consider the question of anticipation, namely,
`
`whether the claims cover something that is new, novel. I am told that the concept of
`
`anticipation requires that each and every element of a challenged claim is present in or
`
`otherwise taught by a single reference. I also understand that an anticipatory reference
`
`does not need to explicitly describe each element because anticipation can occur when
`
`a claimed limitation is necessarily inherent or otherwise implicit in the relevant
`
`reference.
`
`18.
`
`I have been asked to consider the question of obviousness/non-
`
`obviousness. Again, I am told that this analysis must be from the perspective of the
`
`person of ordinary skill in the art, and whether the skilled artisan would consider any
`
`differences between the prior art and what is claimed to have been obvious. To make
`
`this assessment, I have been informed that the concept of patent obviousness involves
`
`four factual inquiries: (1) the scope and content of the prior art; (2) the differences
`
`between the claimed invention and the prior art; (3) the level of ordinary skill in the
`
`art; and (4) secondary considerations of non-obviousness. I further note that I have
`
`been instructed that one cannot use an existing patent as a guide to select from prior
`
`art elements, or otherwise engage in hindsight. Rather, the better approach is to
`
`-7-
`
`PETITIONER'S EXHIBITS
`
`Exhibit 1003 Page 14 of 223
`
`
`
`consider what the person of ordinary skill in the art knew, and what the art taught;
`
`suggested; or motivated the person of ordinary skill in the art to further pursue; and to
`
`differentiate between steps that were routinely done (such as in response to known
`
`problems, steps or obstacles), and those which, for example, may have represented a
`
`different way of solving existing or known problems.
`
`19.
`
`I am also informed that when there is some recognized reason to solve a
`
`problem, and there are a finite number of identified, predictable and known solutions,
`
`a person of ordinary skill in the art has good reason to pursue the known options
`
`within his or her technical grasp. If such an approach leads to the expected success, it
`
`is likely not the product of innovation but of ordinary skill and common sense. In
`
`addition, when a patent simply arranges old elements with each performing its known
`
`function and yields no more than what one would expect from such an arrangement,
`
`the combination is obvious.
`
`20.
`
`I understand that before reaching any final conclusion on obviousness,
`
`the obviousness analysis requires consideration of objective indicia of non-
`
`obviousness, if it is offered. These must be considered to ensure that, for example,
`
`there were not some unanticipated problems, obstacles or hurdles that may seem easy
`
`to overcome in hindsight, but which were not readily overcome prior to the relevant
`
`invention date of the patents/claims at issue here. I understand that these objective
`
`-8-
`
`PETITIONER'S EXHIBITS
`
`Exhibit 1003 Page 15 of 223
`
`
`
`indicia are also known as “secondary considerations of non-obviousness,” and may
`
`include long-felt but unmet need and unexpected results, among others. I also
`
`understand, however, that any offered evidence of secondary considerations of non-
`
`obviousness must be comparable with the scope of the challenged claims. This means
`
`that for any offered evidence of secondary considerations of non-obviousness to be
`
`given substantial weight, I understand the proponent of that evidence must establish a
`
`“nexus” or a sufficient connection or tie between that evidence and the merits of the
`
`claimed invention, which I understand specifically incorporates any novel element(s)
`
`of the claimed invention. If the secondary consideration evidence offered actually
`
`results from something other than the merits of the claim, then I understand that there
`
`is no nexus or tie to the claimed invention. I also understand it is the patentee that has
`
`the burden of proving that a nexus exists.
`
`21. With respect to long-felt need, I understand that the evidence must show
`
`that a particular problem existed for a long period of time. More specifically, I
`
`understand that for a “need” to be long-felt and unmet 1) the need must be persistent
`
`and recognized by those of ordinary skill in the art, 2) the need must not be satisfied
`
`by another before the alleged invention, and 3) the claimed invention itself must
`
`satisfy the alleged need. I also understand that long-felt need is analyzed as of the
`
`date that the problem is identified. Furthermore, I understand that long-felt need
`
`-9-
`
`PETITIONER'S EXHIBITS
`
`Exhibit 1003 Page 16 of 223
`
`
`
`should be based upon alleged inadequacies in the technical knowledge of those skilled
`
`in the art, not due to business-driven market forces.
`
`22. With respect to failure of others, I understand that the focus of the
`
`analysis is on the prior failure of others in the relevant industry, not the inventors. I
`
`further understand that, absent a showing of a long-felt, unmet need or the failure of
`
`others, the mere passage of time without the claimed invention is not evidence of non-
`
`obviousness.
`
`23. With respect to unexpected results, I understand that any results upon
`
`which a patentee wishes to rely as an indicator of non-obviousness must be based on a
`
`comparison of the purported inventions with the closest prior art.
`
`24.
`
`I also understand that the concept of simultaneous invention may provide
`
`evidence of obviousness, particularly where an invention was arrived at independently
`
`within a comparatively short space of time. I further understand that such evidence
`
`may indicate that the claimed invention was the product only of ordinary engineering
`
`skill.
`
`25. However, I understand that secondary considerations will not overcome a
`
`strong showing of obviousness.

`
`III. Person of Ordinary Skill in the Art
`
`26. As above, I have been informed by counsel that the analysis is to be
`
`conducted from the perspective of a person of ordinary skill in the art (a “person of
`
`ordinary skill”) at the time of the invention.
`
`27.
`
`I have also been informed by counsel that in defining a person of
`
`ordinary skill in the art the following factors may be considered: (1) the educational
`
`level of the inventor; (2) the type of problems encountered in the art; (3) prior art
`
`solutions to those problems; (4) rapidity with which innovations are made; and (5)
`
`sophistication of the technology and educational level of active workers in the field.
`
`28. A person of ordinary skill in the art related to the ’213 patent would have
`
`held a Ph.D. or equivalent in molecular biology, structural biology or a closely related
`
`field, or an M.D. with practical academic or industrial experience in antibody
`
`development, including humanization of antibodies for therapeutic development. For
`
`example, a person of ordinary skill in the art would have the educational background
`
`above with experience in humanizing antibodies. This experience is also consistent
`
`with the types of problems encountered in the art, which would have included
`
`performing three-dimensional computer modeling of immunoglobulin structures,
`
`antibody domain and sequence manipulation and swapping, CDR grafting and
`
`framework substitution in humanizing antibodies, construction and expression of
`
`-11-
`
`PETITIONER'S EXHIBITS
`
`Exhibit 1003 Page 18 of 223
`
`
`
`recombinant antibodies, antibody binding assays (for specificity and affinity),
`
`immunogenicity testing and the like. The experience may come from the person of
`
`ordinary skill in the art’s own experience, or may come through research or work
`
`collaborations with other individual(s) with experience in the medical, pharmaceutical
`
`or biotech industry, e.g., as members of a research team or group. For example, the
`
`person of ordinary skill in the art may work as part of a team or collaboration to
`
`develop a humanized monoclonal antibody for therapeutic use, including consulting
`
`with others to select non-human monoclonal antibodies (such as a mouse monoclonal
`
`antibody) for humanization, as well as subsequent testing of the humanized antibody
`
`and its intermediates. I should further note that in the prior art, computer modeling for
`
`humanization was a known methodology. The field was advancing rapidly, and
`
`individuals working in the field were highly sophisticated and using the most
`
`advanced scientific techniques.
`
`IV.
`
`Summary of Opinions
`
`29.
`
`For the reasons below, which includes my extensive experience well
`
`prior to June 1991 in the antibody structure and humanization field, it is my opinion
`
`that claims 1, 2, 25, 29, 63, 66, 71, 75, 76, 78, 80 and 81 are anticipated over EP
`
`0403156 to Kurrle et al. [Ex. 1071; “Kurrle”]. Kurrle provided a detailed roadmap in
`
`disclosing the humanization of mouse monoclonal antibody against the human
`
`-12-
`
`PETITIONER'S EXHIBITS
`
`Exhibit 1003 Page 19 of 223
`
`
`
`alpha/beta T-cell receptor, which included the substitution of claimed human
`
`framework residues 4L, 69H, 71H, 73H and 76H, for the non-human mouse
`
`monoclonal antibody framework residue.
`
`30.
`
`It is also my opinion that Queen 1990 [Ex. 1050], in also providing a
`
`detailed roadmap for humanizing any non-human monoclonal antibody, anticipated
`
`claims 1, 2, 4, 29, 62, 63, 64, 80 and 81 of the ’213 patent. Queen 1990 characterized
`
`critical framework residues, including neighboring non-human antigen-specific
`
`Complementarity Determining Region (CDR) amino acid residues. From the well-
`
`known teachings of Kabat 1987 [Ex. 1052] and Kabat 1991 [Ex. 1055], as well as
`
`Chothia & Lesk [Ex. 1062], claimed framework residues 98L and 36H are
`
`immediately adjacent to the CDRs according to the Kabat numbering system.
`
`31.
`
`From the discussion below, it is also my opinion that claims 1, 2, 4, 25,
`
`29, 62-67, 69 and 71, 72, 74, 75, 76, 78 and 80-81 are obvious over Queen 1990 [Ex.
`
`1050] in view of Kurrle [Ex. 1071]. Claims 12, 73, 77 and 79 are also obvious over
`
`Queen 1990 and Kurrle, in view of Furey [Ex. 1125] or Chothia & Lesk [Ex. 1062].
