`
`DEFENDANTS’ INVALIDITY CONTENTIONS CLAIM CHART FOR U.S. PATENT NO. 8,603,044
`
`The below chart provides examples of prior art that establish that the asserted claims of the ’044 Patent are anticipated and/or
`rendered obvious over the prior art. This case is in the early stages, with most discovery still upcoming, and the close of fact
`discovery is still eight months away. The Court has not construed any claims, and expert reports are not due until sometime after the
`Court’s claim construction order. Further, Plaintiffs have only recently disclosed their validity and infringement contentions, but may
`seek leave to amend their contentions in the future. As a result, Defendant reserves the right to supplement and/or amend these charts
`in response to positions taken by Plaintiffs with additional selections from the cited prior art, as well as with additional prior art
`references. Defendant also incorporates by reference the accompanying Invalidity Contentions with respect to the anticipation and
`obviousness of the other patents in suit, including the prior art descriptions and citations, exemplary prior art combinations, exemplary
`obviousness rationales and motivations to combine, and commentary on potential objective indicia of nonobviousness described
`therein. Additionally, Defendant incorporates by reference the arguments made in the accompanying Invalidity Contentions with
`respect to the invalidity of certain of the following claim limitations under 35 U.S.C. §§ 101, 102, 103, and 112.

`To the extent the preamble of the independent claims are found to be limiting, the following exemplary citations to
`prior art references establish that this claim limitation is taught by the prior art. Additionally, they show that this
`claim limitation would have been obvious in view of the prior art (including the following references alone and in
`combinations) and the knowledge of the person having ordinary skill in the art.

`
`Burroughs further discloses, “[t]he housing further includes radially inwardly extending tangs at the distal end of
`the housing which engage ratchet teeth in the leadscrew to prevent the leadscrew from backing up in the proximal
`direction. These tangs are in constant engagement with the leadscrew, thereby preventing the leadscrew from
`rotating upon rotation of the nut.” Burroughs, col. 3, ll. 47-52 (emphasis added).
`
`Burroughs further discloses, “[t]he dial mechanism is rotatably engaged with the nut when in the dose-setting
`position whereby rotation of the dial mechanism relative to the housing causes the nut to rotate relative to the drive
`stem to thereby set a dose.” Burroughs, col. 4, ll. 56-59.

`(FIG. 10 and FIG. 11) to form resilient proximal legs 188. Each leg 188 includes a proximal raised portion 190 and
`two small axially extending splines 192. The distal end of nut 36 comprises a flange 194 having, in the exemplary
`embodiment, three teeth 196 thereon. Flange 194 also includes a raised surfaces 199 which contacts bulkhead

`36.” Burroughs, col. 9, ll. 11-25 (emphasis added).
`
`Burroughs further discloses, “[r]otation of dial mechanism 34 causes rotation of nut 36 so that internal helical
`raised groove 198 of nut 36 rotates along external threads 208 of leadscrew 38 to cause nut 36 to axially retract
`a corresponding axial distance.” Burroughs, col. 10, ll. 38-42 (emphasis added). See also Burroughs, Figures 1 and

`
`Moller
`
`Moller claims, “a drive sleeve (20) for driving the piston rod.” Moller, col. 7, ll. 26. Moller further claims, “[t]he
`device of claim 1, wherein the drive sleeve is coupled to a gear box that is in turn coupled to the threaded
`piston rod so that a portion of the longitudinal force exerted by the user that is transmitted to the piston rod is
`transmitted thru both the drive sleeve and the gear box and wherein the gear box multiples the force.” Moller, col.
`7, ll. 40-46.
`
`Moller further claims, “[t]he apparatus of claim 9, wherein the threaded portion is integral with the housing and
`wherein the drive further comprises a piston rod having at least a threaded section and wherein the piston rod reacts
`to a force on the drive sleeve and moves axially to expel drug from the device.” Moller, col. 8, ll. 28-32.
`
`Moller further claims, “23. The device of claim 22, wherein the drive sleeve is operably coupled to the piston rod
`and transmits a force to the piston rod. 24. The device of claim 23, wherein the piston rod comprises a threaded

`a distal end 61 and a proximal end 62, proximal end 62 having a flange 65 and a plurality of ratchets 64 extending
`from flange 65 to distal end 61. Ratchets 64 engage with a plurality of ratchet fingers 73 on a distal end 71 of dose
`set knob 7, shown in FIG. 8.” Giambattista ’095, col. 4, ll. 1-9 (emphasis added).
`
`Giambattista ’095 further discloses, “[w]hen medication delivery pen 10 is in the reset condition, reset ring 6 has
`disengaged from dose set knob 7 as clearly seen in FIG. 10. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 9 during a dose setting

`
`Giambattista ’794 discloses a medication delivery pen 10 including, “a cap 12, a cartridge holder 14, a spinner 16, a
`body 18, a dose knob 20, a dosing ring 22, a driver 24, a leadscrew 26, a dosing ring adaptor 28, and a thumb

`
`Giambattista ’794 further discloses, “[t]he dose knob 20 preferably includes one or more ratchet arms 96 formed
`to be biased inwardly. With reference to FIG. 8, with the dose knob 20 being coaxially disposed about the dosing
`ring 22, the ratchet arms 96 are aligned with the longitudinal ribs 80 so that rotation of the dose knob 20
`relative to the dosing ring 22 results in the ratchet arms 96 acting against the ribs 80 in a ratcheting manner
`giving a user an audible signal of such rotation.” Giambattista ’794, col. 4, ll. 1-12 (emphasis added).

`
`Steenfeldt-Jensen discloses, “[t]he proximal end surface of the guide member 56 has one or more axially directed
`protrusions 63 which can co-operate with radial recesses 64 in the bottom of the button 23, but mainly a
`biasing keeps these recesses and protrusions out of engagement.” Steenfeldt-Jensen, col. 9, ll. 26-30 (emphasis
`added).
`
`Steenfeldt-Jensen further discloses, “the guide member has at its proximal end at least one radial protrusion 65
`which is biased to engage axial recesses 66 in an inner wall of the button to produce a click sound each time
`the button is rotated relative to the bushing so that the protrusion jump from one recess to the neighbor recess.”
