7 Institution Decision Deny: Institution Decision DECISION Denying Institution of Inter Partes Review 35 USC § 314

Document IPR2023-00322, No. 7 Institution Decision Deny - Institution Decision DECISION Denying Institution of Inter Partes Review 35 USC § 314 (P.T.A.B. Aug. 7, 2023)
The standard for instituting an inter partes review is set forth in 35 U.S.C. § 314(a), which provides that an inter partes review may not be instituted unless “there is a reasonable likelihood that the petitioner would prevail with respect to at least 1 of the claims challenged in the petition.” After considering the Petition, the Preliminary Response, and the evidence of record, we determine that Petitioner has not demonstrated a reasonable likelihood that it would prevail with respect to at least one challenged claim.
Pub. No. 2011/0129874 A1 (published June 2, 2011) (“Tsutsumi”) Optimizing cofactor availability for the production of recombinant heme peroxidase in Pichia pastoris Microbial Cell Factories 14:4 (2015) (“Krainer”) Exhibit No. 1003 1004 1005 1006 1008 1010 1024 1031
Petitioner further asserts that a POSITA would have had a reasonable expectation of success following the well-known techniques disclosed in these prior studies to construct similar P pastoris expression systems.
Petitioner fails to persuasively explain how a POSITA, looking at Vogl’s discussion of prior studies using promoters and transcription factors from P. pastoris, would have a reasonable expectation of success in producing a Pichia yeast cell comprising the nucleic acid molecule recited in claim element 1[a].
Nor are we persuaded by Petitioner’s argument, made in connection with claim 145, that a POSITA would have found it obvious to grow cells to a high density and only then express the genes under control of the methanol-induced promoter.
