`Assignments
`
`•Provide an opinion regarding Bracco’s assertion of assignor
`estoppel
`•Respond to Respondents’ arguments that the asserted claims
`are invalid based on:
`• Anticipation
`• Obviousness
`• Prosecution laches
`• Improper inventorship
`
`CDX-0002C.
`
`03
`
`

`

`Person of Ordinary Skill in the Art
`
`• A POSITA at the time of the inventions claimed in the Asserted Patents
`would generally have:
`• a graduate degree in medicine and/or in a medical related science, including physics,
`chemistry, biology, physiology, and/or biophysics, or a related field
`• at least some clinical, research, and/or design experience with respect to PET imaging
`and/or PET imaging systems.
`• An individual with an undergraduate degree along with significant
`experience could also be sufficiently skilled.
`• Amount of experience following an undergraduate degree would depend on the level of
`formal education and amount of experience working with radiopharmaceuticals.
`• Such a person may be working as part of a team.

`Legal Principles
`
`•Validity
`• Presumption of Validity
`• Assignor Estoppel
`• Anticipation
`• Non-Obviousness
`• Prosecution Laches
`• Inventorship
`
`CDX-0002C.
`
`06
`
`

`

`Legal Principles
`
`•Presumption of Validity
`• Issued claims are presumed valid.
`• To overcome this presumption, Respondents must show by clear and
`convincing evidence that the challenged claims are invalid.
`
`CDX-0002C.
`
`07
`
`

`

`Legal Principles
`
`•Assignor Estoppel
`• One who assigns a patent to another party is an assignor.
`• The assignor and those in privity with the assignor are estopped from
`contesting the validity or enforceability of that patent when sued for
`infringement.
`
`CDX-0002C.
`
`08
`
`

`

`Legal Principles
`
`•Anticipation
`• A claim is anticipated when the Respondents show by clear and
`convincing evidence that each and every element set forth in the claim is
`found, either expressly or inherently, in a single prior art reference,
`before the priority date.
`
`CDX-0002C.
`
`09
`
`

`

`Legal Principles
`
`• Non-Obviousness
`• A claim is obvious when the Respondents show by clear and convincing evidence that
`the differences between the patented invention and the prior art are such that the
`subject matter as a whole would have been obvious at the time the invention was made
`to a POSITA.
`• The obviousness inquiry should not be performed with the benefit of hindsight, but
`instead must be based on the knowledge at the time of the invention.
`• It is not enough to demonstrate that each limitation was independently known in the art,
`there must have been a reason to combine the element in the manner claimed and
`there must have been a reasonable expectation of success in doing so.
`• Objective factors bearing on the question of non-obviousness may include, commercial
`success; long-felt but unmet need in the art; failures of others to meet a need met by
`the invention; unexpected results achieved by the invention; and praise of the invention
`by others.
`
`CDX-0002C.
`
`10
`
`

`

`Legal Principles
`
`• Prosecution Laches
`• A patent may be unenforceable when it has issued only after an unreasonable and
`unexplained delay in prosecution that constitutes an egregious misuse of the statutory
`patent system under the totality of the circumstances.
`• The mere passage of time from a patent application filing to the issuance of the patent
`is insufficient, in and of itself, to constitute improper delay as a matter of law.
`
`CDX-0002C.
`
`11
`
`

`

`Legal Principles
`
`•Inventorship
`• As part of the presumption of validity, the inventors as named in an
`issued patent are presumed to be correct.
`• To rebut this presumption, a party challenging patent validity for
`omission of an inventor must present clear and convincing evidence that
`an omitted individual actually invented the claimed invention.
`• A good faith error in designating inventorship cannot render a patent
`invalid, and can be corrected.
