`

`
`
`1.
`
`I am the same Dr. John Bantle who submitted an opening report
`
`dated March 19, 2024, in this litigation. See generally OPENING EXPERT REPORT
`
`OF DR. JOHN BANTLE REGARDING INVALIDITY OF U.S. PATENT NO. 10,335,462
`
`(“Opening Report” or “Op. Rpt.”), dated March 19, 2024. I submit this reply
`
`report on behalf of defendants Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc., Dr. Reddy’s
`
`Laboratories, Ltd. and Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, Inc., Rio Biopharmaceuticals
`
`Inc. and EMS S/A; Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. and Sun
`
`Pharmaceutical Industries, Inc.; and Zydus Worldwide DMCC, Zydus
`
`Pharmaceuticals (USA) Inc., and Zydus Lifesciences Limited to respond to
`
`certain opinions expressed by Dr. Michael Trautmann on behalf of Novo
`
`Nordisk Inc. and Novo Nordisk A/S (“Novo”), related to invalidity of the
`
`claims of U.S. Patent No. 10,335,462 (“’462 patent”).1 Specifically, in this report
`
`I respond to Dr. Trautmann’s opinions in the REBUTTAL EXPERT REPORT OF
`
`MICHAEL E. TRAUTMANN, M.D. REGARDING VALIDITY OF U.S. PATENT NO.
`
`10,335,462 (“Trautmann Report” or “Trautmann Rpt.”), served June 3, 2024.
`
`
`1 I understand that Dr. Reddy’s and Sun do not adopt my opinions as they relate
`to anticipation or obviousness of the ’462 patent, see also Op. Rpt. §§ IX.A and
`IX.B, because they stipulated in related proceedings not to pursue such
`arguments in this case. I also understand that Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc. will
`not pursue by motion or at trial in this litigation anticipation of the claims of the
`’462 patent by WO ’421 or Lovshin or obviousness of the claims of the ’462
`patent by WO ’537 in view of Lovshin, see also Op. Rpt. §§ IX.A.1, IX.A.3, and
`IX.B.3, unless a change in law otherwise permits.
