`
`Sir:
`
`I, Werner Seeger hereby declare and saythat:
`
`1.
`
`lama citizen of Germany.
`
`2. 1am a co-inventorof the subject matter presently claimed in the above-captioned
`
`application.
`
`3. Iam able to read and understand the English language whenit is written.
`
`4, 1am familiar with Voswinckel eg al. “Inhaled Treprostinil for Treatment of
`
`Chronic Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension”, Annals of Internal Medicine Vol. 144,
`
`pages 149-150, 2006 (hereafter “Voswinckelarticle”), that is cited in the Office

`
`article were generated.
`
`I am also familiar with the currently pending claimsin the
`
`above-captioned application.
`
`5.
`
`I understand that an inventor is one who contributes to conception of whatis being
`
`claimed in the above-captioned application, which courts have paraphrasedas “the
`
`formation in the mind of the inventor ofa definite and permanentidea of the complete and
`
`operative invention as it is thereafter to be applied in practice.” I further understand that
`
`a person who performs work to confirm someoneelse’s idea is not an inventor,
`
`unless that person also contributed to the conception of the invention.
`
`6. Hossein A. Ghofrani and Friedrich Grimminger, that are properly listed as co-
`
`authors on the Voswinckelarticle because of their contributions to the Voswinckel
`
`article, did not contribute to conception of the presently claimed invention, so they
`
`are not co-inventors of the present claims in this application.
`
`7.
`
`I further declare that all statements made herein of my own knowledgeare true and
`
`that all statements made on information and belief are believed to be true; and
`
`further, that these statements were made with the knowledgethat willful false
`
`statements and the like so made are punishable by fine or imprisonment, or both,
`
`under Section 1001 of Title 18 of the United States Code and that such willful false
`
`statements may jeopardize the validity of the application or any patent resulting
`
`Date
`
`therefrom.
