`BASED ON THE NEAR IDENTICAL DOSAGE RANGES FOR DAILY,
`WEEKLY, and MONTHLY ADMINISTRATION, a POSA would have

`

`THE SPECIFICATION EXPRESSLY SUPPORTS
`BIANNUAL DOSING:
`
`50-500 mg given TWICE A YEAR, and
`100-500 mg given TWICE A YEAR
`
`• Confirms that the six-month period applies to similar or identical
`monthly and weekly dosage ranges.
`• Claim 1 (80-500 mg in six months) merely requires substitution of
`the 80 mg lower limit specified in the daily, weekly, and monthly
`ranges.

`

`PETITIONER ADMITS THAT THE SPECIFICATION
`EXPLICITLY DISCLOSES AN 800-900 MG DOSAGE
`
`Paper No. 2, Petition for Post Grant Review, p. 44.
`
`Ex. 1003, U.S. Pat. No. 9,283,239 at col. 18:50-54.
`
`As admitted by Petitioner, a monthly human dose of about 800-900 mg is disclosed in the
`specification. However, contrary to the Petition, this disclosure provides support for the
`about 80 to about 500 mg dosage claimed.
`
`Paper No. 19, Patent Owner’s response, pp. 23-26; Ex. 1003, U.S. Pat. No. 9,283,239 at col. 18:50-54;
`Paper No. 2, Petition for Post Grant Review, p. 44.

`

`EXAMPLE 7 TAUGHT THAT IF THE DISODIUM SALT
`FORM IS USED, AN 800-900 MG DOSE IS
`REDUCED TO AN ABOUT 80-500 MG DOSE
`
`Ex. 1003, U.S. Pat. No. 9,283,239 at col. 20:16-33.
`Example 7 taught that if the disodium salt form of
`zoledronic acid is used, an 84% (or about 90%) to
`46% (or about 40%) lower dosage should be used.
`
`Ex. 1003, U.S. Pat. No. 9,283,239 at col. 10:40-64.
`
`The Specification further taught that if the
`disodium salt form of zoledronic is used, a 40% to
`90% lower dosage should be used.
`
`An 800 mg dose reduced by 90% is about 80 mg.
`An 800 mg dose reduced by 40% is about 480 mg (about 500 mg).
`Thus, the 800-900 mg dosage disclosed in Example 3, combined with the teachings of Example 7, discloses a
`dosage of about 80 to 500 mg for the disodium salt form of zoledronic acid.
`
`Paper No. 19, Patent Owner’s Response, pp. 25-26; Ex. 1003, U.S. Pat. No. 9,283,239 at col. 10:40-64, col. 20:16-33.

`

`

`CONCLUSION: THE CLAIMS ARE NOT INVALID
`FOR LACK OF WRITTEN DESCRIPTION
`
`• The dosage range upper limit of 500 mg and lower limit of 80 mg are
`repeatedly supported by the disclosure.
`• The number of dosing ranges based on the original claims and
`specification are limited (10).
`• The six month period is one of only six time frames specified in the
`disclosure over which doses are to be administered.
`
`BASED ON THE DISCLOSURE, A POSA CAN READILY SEE
`THAT THE PATENTEE WAS IN POSSESSION OF THE CLAIMED
`INVENTION
