` A I can't remember how many. About three or
`four.
` Q Okay. And were they all in connection with
`expert witness work?
` A Yes.
` Q Okay. How many times have you previously
`served as an expert witness in a litigation or
`patent office proceeding?
` A Could you explain?
` Q Sure. Well, let's start with a
`district court action.
` Have you ever served as an expert in a court
`action?
` A One. One time.
` Q Okay. And who were you retained by in that
`case?
` A WilmerHale.
` Q Okay. And who was the --
` Well, first of all, was Genentech the party
`that you were representing there?
` A I don't think so.
` Q Okay. Do you know who the party was?
` A I can't remember.
` Q Okay. Was the party the patent owner?
` Well, strike that.

`
` Was this a patent case?
` A It's such a long time ago, I can't -- I
`don't actually remember the details of the case. I
`actually destroy the documents, and I destroy it from
`my memory, too. So --
` Q Fair enough.
` Do you know what the issues were that you
`were giving an opinion on in that case?
` A It had to do with epitopes on -- on a
`receptor.
` Q And was it relating to a therapeutic
`product?
` A As far as I -- I recall, yes.
` Q Do you recall what the product was?
` A No.
` Q Okay. And you were deposed in that case?
` A Yes.
` Q Okay. Other than that case, have you ever
`been involved in a case in the district court or in
`any court?
` A No.
` Q All right. Have you ever served as an
`expert witness previously in an action before the
`U.S. Patent and Trademark Office?
` A In what sense? I don't really --

` You -- I'm not understanding some of the
`questions.
` Q Okay. Sure. So you understand that the
`proceeding that you're here for today is an
`inter partes review in the U.S. Patent and Trademark
`Office?
` Do you understand that?
` A I understand it now.
` Q Oh, okay. Okay. Well, why don't you tell
`me. What other cases have you been involved in as an
`expert witness?
` A They've -- they'e largely been to do -- to
`do with -- cases to do with -- with patents. By and
`large, I think it's been patents.
` I had one other case that had noth- -- that
`was -- that was a separate issue that was just a
`dispute between parties on some scientific grounds.
` Q Okay. Have you ever previously been
`retained by Genentech in a legal matter?
` A Yes.
` Q And -- and what -- what did that involve?
` A That involved -- similar to dealing with
`patents.
` Q And was it relating to the product
`Herceptin?

` Q For your lab.
` A No.
` Q Okay. And personally?
` A No.
` Q Okay. The declarations --
` I've handed you two documents, Dr. Wilson.
`One is marked Exhibit 2041 in IPR2017-01488, and one
`is marked Exhibit 2041 in IPR2017-01489.
` These are the two declarations that you've
`submitted in these proceedings?
` A I just wanted to make sure my signature is
`on there.
` Yes, they are.
` Q Okay. Is it fair to say that the two
`declarations are substantively identical in terms of
`their content?
` A As far as I remember, yes.
` Q Okay. At the time you signed them, you
`believed them to be true and accurate to the best of
`your knowledge; is that right?
` A Yes, I did.
` Q Okay. Is there anything that you now
`realize is -- was in error or that you want to
`change?
` A No. I -- I -- there's one or two typos,

`are concerned, no.
` Q Okay. Well, as we go through, if there's
`anything you see that you --
` A Sure.
` Q -- need to change in terms of typos --
` A Sure.
` Q -- please let me know.
` Now, at the back of each of your

`the materials that -- well, it's a "Materials
`Considered" list.
` Do you see that?
` A Exhibit B?
` Q Exhibit B. Yes.
` A I see that.
` Q Okay. And did you review and consider each
`of the documents in that "Materials Considered" list
`in each of your declarations?
` A I don't -- I don't remember every single one
`of them, but I recognize most of these, yes.
` Q Okay. And you read and understood all of
`these references before providing your declaration;
`is that right?

` A I -- to the extent that I was required to --
`that I was required to for my deposition, yes -- for
`my declaration.
` Q Okay. Do you know if there's any documents
`here that you didn't review completely?
` A "Completely" meaning --
` Q Like, read it from start to finish.
` A I think I've -- I've opened most of the
`documents, whether -- and -- and skimmed through
`them. I -- I can't -- there's so many documents
`here, I can't -- I can't recall every single document
`that's in this particular list as to when I reviewed
`it.
` Q Okay. Is it fair to say, though, if it's
`listed here, it's something that you opened,
`considered relevant enough to consider it, and place
`it on your "Materials Considered" list?
` MR. DANFORD: Objection to form.

`right away, and --
` Yes.

` Q Okay. Do you know how much time you spent
`reviewing that patent?
` A Again, it -- it would -- it's hard to
`estimate because I've reviewed it multiple times. So
`I've read --
` It would be a number of hours.

` A No.
` Q I've handed you a copy of what's been marked

` Is this the '213 patent that's at issue in

` A Was that a question?
` Q Yeah. Is it -- yeah.
` Just for the record, is this the '213 patent
`that you considered for this case?
` A It says '213 at the top, so I'll take it as
`'213. Yes.
` Q Okay. Do you recognize it, though, as
`the -- as the patent that you have provided opinions
`on in this case?
` A Yes.
` Q Okay. I just want to -- you've -- you've
`provided some opinions that you disagree with
`Dr. Foote and Dr. Riechmann and their opinions
`regarding the '213 patent; right?
` A Correct.

`before the invention that's described in the '213
`patent. And I know there's some dispute about that
`date. So I just want to focus on the time before the
`invention was made. Is that okay? I'm going to ask
`you questions about that.
` A Yeah. Sure.
` Q Okay. Now, before that invention date of
`the '213 patent, you would agree that it was known
`that overexpression of the HER2 protein led to a poor
`prognosis in cancer, including breast cancer; right?
` MR. DANFORD: Objection. Outside the scope.
` THE WITNESS: If you're asking if there were
`papers on that protein, the answer would be yes.
`BY MR. LASKY:
` Q Right. You don't dispute, though, that it
`was known that overexpression of HER2 led to a
`particularly poor prognosis in breast cancer prior to
`the '213 patent invention; right?
` MR. DANFORD: Objection. Outside the scope.
` THE WITNESS: I believe that there was some
`correlation. Yes.
`BY MR. LASKY:
` Q And prior to the '213 patent invention, work
`had been done to identify murine antibodies that
`would target the HER2 receptor; is that right?

` A I believe that is the case. Yes.
` Q And so, for example, in the Hudziak,
`H-u-d-z-i-a-k, reference, the authors described the
`generation of a number of antibodies, mouse
`antibodies, against the HER2 receptor; is that right?
` A That is correct.
` Q And Hudziak and co-authors, prior to the
`'213 patent invention, had tested those mouse
`antibodies for their ability to stem cell
`proliferation; right?
` A Could you show me the patent to -- show me
`the paper to refresh my memory.
` Q Okay. Sorry.
` Dr. Wilson, I've handed you a copy of what's
`been marked as Pfizer Exhibit 1021 in the 01488 IPR,
`and this is the Hudziak reference I was referring to.
` Have you reviewed this for purposes of this
`case?
` A Yes, I have.
` Q Okay. And it's published in March 1989; is
`that right?
` A That is correct.
` Q And that's before the '213 patent invention;
`is that right?
` A Yes.

` Q Okay. And -- and if you -- if you look at
`the introduction, Hudz- -- in the last paragraph of
`the introduction, the authors note that, to
`facilitate investigation of the normal role of the
`HER2 gene product --
` Oh, I'm sorry.
` A So where are we?
` Q In the introduction to the paper and the
`last paragraph.
` A Okay.
` Q They note that, to facilitate investigation
`of the normal biological role of the HER2 gene
`product, they prepared monoclonal antibodies against
`the extracellular domain of the p185 HER2 protein.
` Do you see that?
` A Yes, I see that.
` Q And then one of those monoclonal antibodies,
`the 4D5, was characterized in more detail and shown
`to inhibit in vitro proliferation of human
`breast canc- -- tumor cells overexpressing HER2 and
`furthermore to increase the sensitivity of these
`cells to the cytotoxic effects of TNF-alpha.
` Do you see that?
` A Yes, I see that.

`exhibit and table 1 of the reference, you see there
`is a test of certain mono- -- the -- the ability of
`certain monoclonal antibodies to inhibit tumor
`cell -- tumor cell line proliferation by
`anti-HER2 [sic] monoclonal antibodies.
` Do you see that?
` A I do.
` Q And the 4D5 antibody was shown to have
`the -- the greatest effect of relative cell
`proliferation.
` Do you see that?
` A That is correct.
` Q Okay. And -- and so back to my original
`question. Before the '213 patent invention, Hudziak
`and colleagues had shown that the 4D5 antibody was
`able to inhibit cell proliferation through targeting
`the HER2 receptor; is that right?
` MR. DANFORD: Objection to form.
` THE WITNESS: It was shown to inhibit the
`proliferation of the SK-BR-3 breast tumor cells.
`Yes.
`BY MR. LASKY:
` Q And the 4D5 antibody that was being tested
`by Hudziak was a mouse antibody; is that right?
` A Yes.

`was known that mouse antibodies had limited value as
`human therapeutics due to the likelihood of
`immunogenicity; is that right?

`scientists investigated ways to avoid or minimize the
`immunogenetic -- immugenic -- immunogenic potential
`of murine monoclonal antibodies; right?
` MR. DANFORD: Objection to form.
` THE WITNESS: Yes.
`BY MR. LASKY:
` Q And you don't dispute in your declaration
`that, prior to the '213 patent invention, there was a
`motivation to try to develop the 4D5 monoclonal
`antibody as a human therapeutic agent; right?
` MR. DANFORD: Objection to form.
` THE WITNESS: I don't really know if I quite
`understand the question.
`BY MR. LASKY:
` Q Okay.

` A I understand, but I don't understand the
`intent of the question is really --
` Q Oh, okay. I mean, there's no intent. I'm
`just trying to --
` A No. There's -- there's many -- there's
`many -- many antibodies you could actually have
`looked at. 4D4 -- 4D5 was an antibody that had been
`identified.
` Q Okay.
` A Yep.
` Q And in -- and Hudziak, at least, had shown
`4D5 to be the -- the most effective at
`antiproliferative activity against HER2
`overexpressing breast cancer cells; right?
` MR. DANFORD: Objection to form.
` THE WITNESS: In the study that they did.
`BY MR. LASKY:
` Q Uh-huh.
` A I don't know if that -- if there could have
`been a better antibody, but in the part they looked
`at, yes.
` Q Okay. So my question is: Prior to the '213
`patent invention, you would agree that, based on
`Hudziak's data, there was a motivation to investigate
`the 4D5 antibody as a human therapeutic agent against

`
`HER2 overexpressing breast cancer; right?
` MR. DANFORD: Objection. Asked and
`answered.
` THE WITNESS: That antibody was one of many,
`but that is -- Hudziak identified that as a
`potential.
`BY MR. LASKY:
` Q And with respect to that 4D5 antibody,
`though, again, it was known that, as a murine
`antibody, it would be likely to be ineffective as a
`human therapeutic agent due to the immunogenic
`potential; right?
` MR. DANFORD: Objection to form.
` THE WITNESS: One can't tell until one did,
`actually, the experiment, but that would have been a
`concern from -- generally from mouse antibodies.
`BY MR. LASKY:
` Q Okay. Now, prior to the '213 patent
`invention, scientists had investigated ways to reduce
`the immunogenic potential of murine monoclonal
`antibodies, one way being to develop a chimeric
`antibody; right?
` A That is correct.
` Q And the chimeric antibody was made by
`placing the murine variable domain on a human
