`
`Dear Tony, 
`
`  I write to request that PO provide “US_ _ _ 20170531(2).xlsx” and “012617 Jublia 4mEq Commercial Market 
`Comparison.xlsx,” in addition to any other document or information underlying the preparation of Exhibits 2093‐2095 
`and 2098‐2099, to Petitioners immediately.  PO’s commercial success expert, Mr. Vincent A. Thomas, has relied upon 
`Exhibits 2098 and 2099 in his analysis.  According to Mr. Thomas’ Declaration, these exhibits are “based on” the 
`underlying documents which were not provided with the POR.  See EX. 2028, n.3‐4 (Exhibit 2098 is “based on US_ _ _ 
`20170531(2).xlsx” and Exhibit 2099 is “based on 012617 Jublia 4mEq Commercial Market Comparison.xlsx.)  In light of 
`the fact that the witness himself states the exhibits he relied upon in order to form his opinions are “based on” some 
`other withheld information, Petitioners request the specified spread sheets be provided immediately, as well as any 
`other as yet withheld document or information either used in the preparation of Exhibits 2093‐2095 and 2098‐2099 or 
`relied upon by Mr. Thomas in forming his opinions (either directly or indirectly).  37 C.F.R. § 42.51(b)(i).   
`
`  In addition, given Mr. Thomas’ testimony that “the marketing spend for Jublia is consistent with other companies’ 
`advertising costs on comparable branded topical onychomycosis treatments such as Lamisil (more than $100 million in 
`advertising to date) and Penlac (more than 10 million annually)” (EX. 2028, ¶25), Petitioners request PO provide a 
`document or documents sufficient to show the quarterly total of the marketing spend attributable to Jublia from the 4th 
`quarter of 2013 (just prior to Jublia’s launch) through the 2nd quarter of 2017.  37 C.F.R. § 42.51(b)(ii). 
`
`  As it is Petitioners’ position that this information qualifies as routine discovery and/or information that is inconsistent 
`with the positions taken by the declarant under the Board rules, it should have been provided with the POR.  If PO 
`refuses to provide the information, please let us know your availability for a meet‐and‐confer to discuss these issues.  In 
`the absence of an agreement, Petitioners intend to contact the Board to request authorization to file a motion to obtain 
`the information.     
`
`Thank you,
