`

`Summary of Case
`
`•
`
`•
`
`Teva’s patents broadly claim any humanized anti-CGRP antagonist antibody
`with known or routinely achievable features
`
`Tan 1995 describes an anti-CGRP antagonist antibody effective in vivo and
`provides guidance to improve immunoblockade
`
`• Wimalawansa expressly teaches that humanized anti-CGRP antibodies
`“should be explored” to treat human diseases
`
`•
`
`•
`
`The prior art is replete with reports providing additional motivation to make
`a humanized anti-CGRP antagonist antibody
`
`Teva conceded it was routine to make a humanized antibody
`
`• Neither Tan 1995 nor Teva’s purported safety concerns teach away from the
`claimed subject matter
`
`•
`
`Teva’s purported secondary considerations lack nexus and are insufficient to
`overcome obviousness

`Motivation to Make a Humanized Antibody
`
`Dr. Ferrari’s cross-examination:
`
`Q: Hypothetically speaking, as an expert in the field, if a reference stated that an anti-CGRP
`antagonist antibody was to be administered to a human to treat a chronic human disease,
`would that have been understood as a reference to a humanized antibody?
`
`A:
`
`I think that, and, again, I’m not an antibody expert, but by 2005 it was well-known that
`you would significantly reduce the risk of immunological side effects to an antibody by
`humanizing it. So developing an antibody at that time without including humanization
`would not mean – would not be useful to use in patients.
`
`Ex. 1303, 49:1-20; Reply, 3
`
`Dr. Tomlinson’s cross-examination:
`
`Q: As of 2005, by the time that an antibody in drug development reached a Phase 1 clinical
`study for dosing in humans, it would likely be a human or humanized antibody, correct?
`
`A:
`
`In 2005, yes.
`
`Q: And then as of 2005 in a clinical trial program, it would not have been acceptable for a
`person of ordinary skill to have administered a murine antibody to a human for chronic
`use without first humanizing it, correct?
`
`A:
`
`I would say that was quite very unlikely.

`Teva’s Patents Do Not Address Safety
`
`Alcon Research Ltd. v. Apotex Inc., 687 F.3d 1362, 1369 (Fed. Cir. 2012)
`
`“Although Alcon argues that Kamei would not give a skilled artisan an expectation of success
`because it does not teach that olopatadine is safe for the human eye, we find this
`contention to be without merit. While it is true that [the prior art] does not expressly
`disclose that olopatadine would be safe for use in human eyes, neither does the ’805 patent.
`The patent is not based on testing in humans; instead it reports only in vitro tests.”

`Teva’s Patents Do Not Address Safety
`
`Dr. Foord’s cross-examination:
`
`Q:
`
`[W]ould a description of a successful use, whether a statistically significant efficacy
`was shown of an anti-CGRP antibody in a rat saphenous nerve assay, have adequately
`resolved the concerns you identify in your declaration about safety and efficacy?
`
`A: No.
`
`Q: Would the description of the successful use of anti-CGRP antibodies in the rat closed
`cranial window assay have adequately resolved the concerns you identified about
`safety and efficacy?
`
`A: No. These are preclinical animal experiments that will never satisfy concerns about
`safety and efficacy, until that agent goes into man.

`Teva’s Purported Evidence of Licensing
`Does Not Support Patentability
`
`Dr. Stoner’s cross-examination:
`
`Q:
`
`A:
`
`Do you consider the settlement and license agreement to be a patent portfolio license, you,
`Dr. Stoner?
`
`I was aware that the license related to all of these patents which are necessary to practice
`the Alder product.
`
`Q: When you say “all of these patents,” you mean that at least 188 patents and applications
`listed in schedule 1.14 in 65 countries and eight families? When you say “all these patents,”
`is that what you meant?
`
`A:
`
`Yes, all these related patents.
`
`Q: … if just claims 1 through 7 and 15 through 20, which are the challenged claims of the 614
`patent, if just those claims were canceled, Alder Bio would still owe the same consideration
`under this agreement because Alder Bio admits that it infringes the remaining claims or the
`614 patent and all claims of the 187 additional licensed patents, correct?
`
`A:
`
`Q:
`
`That’s certainly a reasonable interpretation of this paragraph.
`
`And to that same effect, if all of the challenged claims were canceled, Alder Bio would still
`owe the same considerations to Teva for the same reason, that they had admitted
`infringement of all of the 179 additional patents, correct?
`
`A:
`
`That appears to be a reasonable interpretation of this paragraph …

`antibodies “could advantageously be
