`I.
`PERSON OF ORDINARY SKILL IN THE ART (“POSA”). ........................ 4
`II.
`III. CLAIM CONSTRUCTION. ........................................................................... 6
`PREAMBLE: “A METHOD FOR TREATING AN ANGIOGENIC EYE
`DISORDER IN A PATIENT.” ..................................................................... 7
`1.
`If Limiting, The Board Should Apply Its Preamble
`Construction. ............................................................................... 7
`PO Reads In Multiple Unsupported and Undefined
`Limitations. ................................................................................. 7
`PO’s “high level of efficacy” is unsupported. .................. 8
`PO’s “high level of efficacy” is undefined (and
`inconsistent with the intrinsic evidence). ....................... 10
`PO’s “standard of care” claim meaning also is
`undefined, variable and subjective. ................................ 13
`“INITIAL DOSE,” “SECONDARY DOSE(S)” AND “TERTIARY
`DOSE(S).” ............................................................................................. 14
`1.
`All Are Defined As The Temporal Sequence Of Doses. .......... 15
`2.
`PO’s Current Construction Fundamentally Differs From
`Its Last Proposal For The Same Term (In The Same
`Family). ..................................................................................... 16
`PO’s Construction Eliminates the Notice Function. ................. 17
`3.
`IV. ANTICIPATION AND OBVIOUSNESS. .................................................... 18
`THE ASSERTED REFERENCES HAVE UTILITY AND ARE NOT
`SUBJECT TO THE EXPERIMENTAL USE EXCEPTION............................... 18
`THE ASSERTED REFERENCES DISCLOSE EVERY-8-WEEK VEGF
`TRAP-EYE ADMINISTRATION. ............................................................... 21
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`i
`
`
`
`VEGF TRAP-EYE/AFLIBERCEPT WAS DISCLOSED IN EACH
`ASSERTED REFERENCE. ........................................................................ 21
`1.
`VEGF Trap-Eye/Aflibercept sequence is a prior art,
`necessary feature. ...................................................................... 22
`VEGF Trap-Eye/Aflibercept sequence is inherent. .................. 23
`2.
`THERE WAS NEVER CONFUSION OVER THE IDENTITY OF VEGF
`TRAP-EYE/AFLIBERCEPT. ..................................................................... 23
`1.
`“VEGF Trap-Eye” and “aflibercept” were known as the
`same molecular structure. ......................................................... 23
`“VEGF Trap-Eye” and “aflibercept” molecular weight
`reports were, in fact, consistent................................................. 24
`VEGF Trap-Eye is not a genus of proteins. .............................. 26
`VEGF Trap-Eye/Aflibercept was known in the prior art as
`VEGFR1R2-FcΔC1(a), “VEGF TrapR1R2” for short. ............... 27
`PO’s confidentiality claims are irrelevant. ............................... 28
`5.
`VEGF TRAP-EYE/AFLIBERCEPT ADMINISTRATION RESULTED IN
`EFFECTIVE TREATMENT. ...................................................................... 29
`THE CLAIMS WOULD HAVE BEEN OBVIOUS. ....................................... 32
` NO EVIDENCE OF “SURPRISING” / “UNEXPECTED” RESULTS OR
`“LONG-FELT, UNMET NEED”. .............................................................. 34
` NO NEXUS / NO COMMERCIAL SUCCESS. ............................................. 35
`CONCLUSION. ............................................................................................. 38
