`1. My name is William J. Jusko, Ph.D. I have been retained by counsel
`
`for Petitioner Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“Mylan”). I understand that Mylan is
`
`submitting a petition for inter partes review (“IPR”) of U.S. Patent No. 10,335,462
`
`(“’462 patent,” attached as Ex. 1001), which is assigned to Novo Nordisk A/S. It is
`
`my understanding that Mylan is requesting that the United States Patent and
`
`Trademark Office (“USPTO”) cancel all claims of the ’462 patent as unpatentable.
`
`I submit this expert declaration in support of Mylan’s IPR petition for the ’462
`
`patent.

`
`QUALIFICATIONS AND BACKGROUND
`A. EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE
`2.
`I am a Professor of Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University of
`
`Buffalo School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences. My specialty and
`
`research
`
`focus
`
`broadly
`
`include Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics,
`
`Pharmacogenomics, and Pharmacometrics.
`
`3. My research interests also include theoretical, basic, and clinical
`
`aspects of
`
`the pharmacokinetics
`
`and pharmacodynamics of various
`
`immunosuppressive agents including corticosteroids, as well as drugs used to treat
`
`diabetes, inflammation, and cancer.
`
`4.
`
`I have characterized the effects of diverse drugs in cells, tissues,
`
`animals,
`
`and
`
`human
`
`subjects
`
`and

`
`
`
`
`
`
`pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (“PK/PD”) models for rapidly acting as well as
`
`
`
`cascade-type processes. I also have developed mechanism-based pharmacokinetic,
`
`pharmacodynamic, and disease progression models and computational methods
`
`describing the action of various drugs and utilized mathematical models of drug
`
`action to determine optimal dosage regimens for diverse drugs.
`
`5.
`
`I have worked as a consultant for the Food and Drug Administration
`
`Clinical Pharmacology Advisory Committee, the NIH Pharmacology Study Section,
`
`the Council for International Exchange of Scholars, and for many pharmaceutical
`
`companies.
`
`6.
`
`From 2001 to 2016, I served as chair of the University of Buffalo
`
`Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences. More than 100 students and fellows have
`
`completed research training under my guidance.
`
`7.
`
`I have published more than 670 research articles and serve on the
`
`editorial boards of numerous academic journals, including formally being the editor-
`
`in-chief for the Journal of Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics.
`
`8.
`
`I received a Bachelor of Pharmacy in 1965 from State University of
`
`New York at Buffalo. I remained at State University of New York at Buffalo where
`
`I completed my Ph.D. in Pharmaceutical Sciences in 1969.

`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`9.
`
`I began my academic career in 1969 as an Assistant Professor of
`
`
`
`Pharmacology at the Boston University School of Medicine, where I remained for
`
`two years.
`
`10.
`
`I have been a faculty member at the University of Buffalo since 1972.
`
`From 1972 to 1974, I was an Assistant Professor of Pharmaceutics at the University
`
`of Buffalo.
`
`11.
`
`I remained at the University of Buffalo from 1974 to present, where I
`
`transitioned through several roles including as the Director of the Doctor of
`
`Pharmacy Program, Vice-Chairman of the Department of Pharmacy, Professor of
`
`Pharmaceutical Sciences, Chair of Pharmaceutical Sciences, and Director of the
`
`Center of Excellence in Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics. I am now
`
`currently a SUNY Distinguished Professor in Pharmaceutical Sciences.
`
`12. My expertise has been recognized by my peers. I received the 2020
`
`Distinguished Pharmaceutical Scientist Award from the American Association of
`
`Pharmaceutical Sciences (“AAPS”). The Distinguished Pharmaceutical Scientist
`
`Award is the AAPS’s most esteemed honor and is a lifetime achievement that
`
`recognizes an individual who has made substantial contributions to the research and
`
`advancement of pharmaceutical sciences.
`
`13.
`
`I received the 2019 Lewis B. Sheiner Lecturer Award from the
`
`International Society of Pharmacometrics (“ISoP”); the 2018 Oscar B. Hunter

`Career Award in Therapeutics from the American Society for Clinical Pharmacology
`
`
`
`and Therapeutics; a coveted MERIT (Method to Extend Research in Time) Award
`
`from the National Institutes of Health (“NIH”); and several other awards.
`
`14.
`
`I have appreciable experience in studying the pharmaceutical and
`
`pharmacological properties of drugs used to treat diabetes. My curriculum vitae
`
`(“CV”) lists at least 31 such publications with 21 involving the study of antidiabetic
`
`drugs or the diabetes disease conditions in animal models (diabetic rats) and 10
`
`pertaining to the study of antidiabetic drugs in healthy or diabetic humans. Part of
`
`this work was supported by the Pfizer Company when I directed my Department’s
`
`participation in the UB/Pfizer Strategic Alliance in PK/PD with millions of dollars
`
`of support from the company.
`
`15.
`
`I am also an inventor on a patent application assigned to SmithKline
`
`Beecham Corporation in which I assisted in the development of their antidiabetic
`
`drug, Avandia (rosiglitazone) and helped to describe the Exposure/Response
`
`(PK/PD) relationships between plasma drug concentrations, lowering of glucose,
`
`and lowering of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) concentrations in blood in type 2
`
`diabetic patients. See Ex. 1078 (’486 publication). This drug was approved by the
`
`FDA as the first-in-class known as “insulin sensitizers” that help the uptake of
`
`glucose by transporters into tissues. I later helped the Daiichi Sankyo Company in
`
`developing rivoglitazone, a drug in the same class with similar effects. See Ex. 1044

`
`
`
`
`
`
`(Rohatagi). We generated Exposure/Response relationships for a range of doses in
`
`
`
`these studies.
`
`16.
`
`I have particularly relevant experiences pertaining to glucagon-like
`
`peptide-1 (“GLP-1”)-related mechanisms in diabetes, some of which I discuss in
`
`more detail below. I also have considerable experience in designing studies
`
`(including dosing studies) and assessing pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic
`
`data from phase I, II, and III clinical trials. This includes clinical trials for the
`
`antidiabetic drugs rosiglitazone, rivoglitazone, pramlintide, vildagliptin, inhaled
`
`insulin and others.
`
`17.
`
`I am currently a consultant for ReveraGen BioPharma, Inc. advising on
`
`dosing in their clinical trials and performing data analyses for their steroid
`
`vamorolone in treating adolescent males with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

`provide certain of my opinions regarding the ’462 patent. I receive $800 per hour
`
`for this work. No part of my compensation is dependent upon my opinions given or
`
`the outcome of this proceeding.
`
`II. LEGAL STANDARDS
`22.
`In preparing and forming my opinions set forth in this declaration, I
`
`have been informed by counsel of the relevant legal principles. I applied my
`
`understanding of those principles in forming my opinions. My understanding of

`Ex. 1005, p. 14 of 132
`
`
`
`
`
`
`those principles is summarized below.1 I took these principles into account when
`
`
`
`forming my opinions in this proceeding.
`
`23.
`
`I understand that my opinions regarding unpatentability are presented
`
`from the viewpoint of a person of ordinary skill in the art (“POSA” or “skilled
`
`artisan”) in the field of technology of the patent as of the patent’s priority date. In
`
`this declaration, my opinions are premised on the perspective of a POSA at the time
`
`of the earliest claimed priority date for the ’462 patent, which I have been informed
`
`for this proceeding is July 1, 2012.2 See Ex. 1001 (’462 patent) at 1.
`
`24.
`
`I have been informed that Mylan bears the burden of proving
`
`unpatentability by a preponderance of the evidence. I am informed that this
`
`
`1 In performing my analysis and reaching my opinions and conclusions, I have been
`
`informed of and have been advised to apply various legal principles relating to
`
`unpatentability, which I set forth herein. In setting forth these legal standards, it is
`
`not my intention to testify about the law. I only provide my understanding of the
`
`law, as explained to me by counsel, as a context for the opinions and conclusions I
`
`am providing.
`
`2 To the extent Patent Owner asserts that the claims of the ’462 patent are entitled
`
`to an earlier priority or invention date, I reserve the right to supplement this
`
`declaration.

`Ex. 1005, p. 15 of 132
`
`
`
`
`
`
`“preponderance-of-the-evidence” standard means that the Patent Trial and Appeal
`
`
`
`Board must find it more likely than not that the claims are unpatentable.
`
`25.
`
`I understand that for a patent claim to be unpatentable as anticipated, a
`
`prior art reference must disclose each element of the claim expressly and/or
`
`inherently as arranged in the claim.
`
`26. Counsel has informed me that the concept of patent obviousness
`
`involves four factual inquiries: (1) the scope and content of the prior art; (2) the
`
`differences between the claimed invention and the prior art; (3) the level of ordinary
`
`skill in the art; and (4) secondary considerations of non-obviousness.
`
`27.
`
`It is my understanding from counsel that when there is some recognized
`
`reason to solve a problem, and there are a finite number of identified, predictable
`
`and known solutions, a person of ordinary skill in the art has good reason to pursue
`
`the known options within his or her technical grasp. If such an approach leads to the
`
`expected success, it is likely not the product of innovation but of ordinary skill and
`
`common sense. It is my understanding that any need or problem known in the field
`
`of endeavor at the time of invention or addressed by the patent can provide a reason
`
`for combining prior art elements to arrive at the claimed subject matter. I understand
`
`that only a reasonable expectation of success is necessary to show obviousness.

`
`III. PERSON OF ORDINARY SKILL IN THE ART
`28.
`In my opinion, the following definition of a person of ordinary skill in
`
`the art (“POSA” or “skilled artisan”) applies to the claims of the ’462 patent.
`
`29. A POSA here would have had (1) an M.D., a Pharm. D., or a Ph.D. in
`
`pharmacy, chemical engineering, bioengineering, chemistry, or related discipline;
`
`(2) at least two years of experience in protein or peptide therapeutic development
`
`and/or manufacturing or diabetes treatments; and (3) experience with the
`
`development, design, manufacture, formulation, or administration of therapeutic
`
`agents, and the literature concerning protein or peptide formulation and design, or
`
`diabetes treatments.
`
`30. Alternatively, the POSA would be (1) a highly skilled scientist lacking
`
`an M.D., Pharm. D., or Ph.D., but would have (2) more than five years of experience
`
`in the area of protein or peptide therapeutic development and/or manufacturing or
`
`diabetes treatments; and/or (3) experience with the development, design,
`
`manufacture, formulation, or administration of therapeutic agents, and the literature
`
`concerning protein or peptide formulation and design, or diabetes treatments.
`
`31. A POSA would have understood the prior art references referred to
`
`herein and would have the capability to draw inferences. It is understood that, to the
`
`extent necessary, a POSA may collaborate with one or more other POSAs for one or
`
`more aspects with which the other POSA may have expertise, experience, and/or
`
`

`Ex. 1005, p. 17 of 132
`
`
`
`
`
`
`knowledge. Additionally, a POSA could have had a lower level of formal education
`
`
`
`than what I describe here if the person has a higher degree of experience.
`
`32. As shown by my qualifications provided in my CV and as explained in
`
`this declaration, I met the qualifications of a POSA for purposes of the ’462 patent.
`
`33.
`
`I understand that Mylan’s formulation expert Dr. Paul Dalby is
`
`submitting a declaration with his opinions about why claims 4-10 of the ’462 patent,
`
`directed to formulation-related elements, are obvious over the prior art. I defer to
`
`Dr. Dalby’s opinion on the formulation-related elements of claims 4-10 of the ’462
`
`patent.
`
`IV. BRIEF SUMMARY OF OPINIONS
`34.
`In my opinion, International Patent Application Publication No. WO
`
`2011/138421 (“WO421”) anticipates claims 1-3 of the ’462 patent.
`
`35.
`
`In my opinion, a review article titled “Incretin-Based Therapies for
`
`Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus” (“Lovshin”) authored by Julie A. Lovshin and Daniel J.
`
`Drucker, which was published in May 2009, anticipates claims 1-3 of the ’462 patent.
`
`36.
`
`In my opinion, claims 1-10 of the ’462 patent would have been obvious
`
`over WO421 considering U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2007/0010424 A1
`
`(“’424 Publication”). It is my understanding that Dr. Dalby is offering an opinion
`
`that claims 4-10 would have been obvious over WO421 considering the ’424
`
`Publication, and I defer to his opinion for claims 4-10.

`Ex. 1005, p. 18 of 132
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`37.
`
`In my opinion, claims 1-10 of the ’462 patent would have been obvious
`
`
`
`over International Patent Application Publication No. WO 2006/097537 A2
`
`(“WO537”) considering Lovshin. It is my understanding that Dr. Dalby is offering
`
`an opinion that claims 4-10 would have been obvious over WO537 considering
`
`Lovshin, and I defer to his opinion for claims 4-10.
`
`38.
`
`In my opinion, claims 1-10 of the ’462 patent would have been obvious
`
`over Clinical Trial No. NCT00696657 (“NCT657”), Clinical Trial No.
`
`NCT00851773 (“NCT773”), and the ’424 Publication. It is my understanding that
`
`Dr. Dalby is offering an opinion that claims 4-10 would have been obvious over
`
`NCT657, NCT773, and the ’424 Publication, and I defer to his opinion for claims 4-
`
`10.
`
`39. Finally, there are no apparent secondary considerations supporting
`
`nonobviousness of the claims. I reserve the right to address any secondary
`
`considerations put forth by Patent Owner in any later response to this declaration or
`
`the petition it accompanies.
