`
`Sir:
`
`1, Werner Seeger hereby declare and say that:
`
`l.
`
`I am a citizen of Germany.
`
`2.
`
`I am a (so-inventor of the subject matter presently claimed in the above-captioned
`
`application.
`
`3.
`
`I am able to read and understand the English language when it is written.
`
`4.
`
`1 am familiar with Voswinekel er (1!. “Inhaled Treprostinil for 'l‘reatment of
`
`Chronic Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension”, Annals oflnternal Medicine Vol. 144, pages 149-
`
`150, 2006 (hereafter “Voswinckel article”), that is cited in the Office Action mailed on March

`
`I3, 2015, and how the results described in the Voswinckel article were generated.
`
`I am also
`
`familiar with the currently pending claims in the above—captioned application.
`
`5.
`
`lunderstand that an inventor is one who contributes to conception olwhat is being
`
`claimed in the above-captioned application, which courts have paraphrased as “the formation
`
`in the mind of the inventor ofa definite and permanent idea ofthe complete and operative invention
`
`as it is thereafter to be applied in practice." I further understand that a person who performs
`
`work to confirm someone elsc’s idea is not an inventor, unless that person also contributed to
`
`the conception of the invention.
`
`6.
`
`IIossein A. (.ihoti'ani and Friedrich Grimmingcr, that are properly listed as eo~
`
`authors on the Voswinckel article because ol'their contributions to the Voswinekel article, did
`
`not contribute to conception ol‘the presently claimed invention, so they are not. eo~invcntors
`
`ot‘the present. claims in this application.
`
`7.
`
`I further declare that all statements made herein (iiiny own knowledge are true and
`
`that all statements made on information and belief are believed to be true; and further, that
`
`these statements were made with the knowledge that willful false statements and the like so
`
`made are punishable by fine or iinpiisoimicnt, or both. under Section 100] ol‘ Title I 8 ol‘ the
`United States Code and that such willful False statements mayjeopal'dilieflie validity’ot'tlic
