Office Action

§103 §112
Notice of Pre-AIA or AIA Status The present application, filed on or after March 16, 2013, is being examined under the first inventor to file provisions of the AIA . Status of the Claims Claims 1 – 20 are currently pending and are the subject of this Office Action. This is the first Office Action on the merits of the claims. Claim Rejections - 35 USC § 112 The following is a quotation of the first paragraph of 35 U.S.C. 112(a): (a) IN GENERAL.—The specification shall contain a written description of the invention, and of the manner and process of making and using it, in such full, clear, concise, and exact terms as to enable any person skilled in the art to which it pertains, or with which it is most nearly connected, to make and use the same, and shall set forth the best mode contemplated by the inventor or joint inventor of carrying out the invention. The following is a quotation of the first paragraph of pre-AIA 35 U.S.C. 112: The specification shall contain a written description of the invention, and of the manner and process of making and using it, in such full, clear, concise, and exact terms as to enable any person skilled in the art to which it pertains, or with which it is most nearly connected, to make and use the same, and shall set forth the best mode contemplated by the inventor of carrying out his invention. Claims 1 – 3 and 5 – 20 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 112(a) or 35 U.S.C. 112 (pre-AIA ), first paragraph, as failing to comply with the written description requirement. The claim(s) contains subject matter which was not described in the specification in such a way as to reasonably convey to one skilled in the relevant art that the inventor or a joint inventor, or for applications subject to pre-AIA 35 U.S.C. 112, the inventor(s), at the time the application was filed, had possession of the claimed invention. The following quotation from section 2163 of the Manual of Patent Examination Procedure (MPEP) is a brief discussion of what is required in a specification to satisfy the 35 U.S.C. 112 written description requirements for a generic claim covering several distinct inventions: The written description requirement for a claimed genus may be satisfied through sufficient description of a representative number of species by actual reduction to practice... reduction to drawings...or by disclosure of relevant, identifying characteristics, i.e., structure or other physical and/or chemical properties, by functional characteristics coupled with a known or disclosed correlation between function and structure, or by a combination of such identifying characteristics, sufficient to show the applicant was in possession of the claimed genus... See BU Lilly, 119 F.3d at 1568, 43 USPQ2d at 1406. A "representative number of species" means that the species which are adequately described are representative of the entire genus. Thus, when there is substantial variation within the genus, one must describe a sufficient variety of species to reflect the variation within the genus. Thus, when a claim covers a genus of inventions, the specification must provide written description support for the entire scope of the genus. Support for a genus is generally found where the applicant has provided a number of examples sufficient so that one in the art would recognize from the specification the scope of what is being claimed. Claims 1 – 3 and 5 – 20 are rejected as lacking adequate descriptive support for a possession of a bispecific antibody with a generic second antigen-binding domain. Furthermore, claims 2 and 5 recites a variant that comprises one or more amino acid substitutions, deletions or additions compared with original sequence. However, the specification only presents CD79b/CD3 in Examples 1 – 7, p. 20 – 26. No other examples of CD79b bispecific antibodies with a second antigen-binding domain wherein the second antigen is not CD79b are provided nor does the specification present examples of variants that statistically cover the large variety of structures resulting in a first antigen-binding domain having VH and VL variants with “one or more amino acid substitutions, deletions or additions compared with original sequence” that bind CD79b. Furthermore, in Amgen Inc. et al. v. Sanofi et al., 598 U.S. 594, 2023 USPQ2d 602 (2023), the Supreme Court, held that claims drawn to a genus of monoclonal antibodies, which were functionally claimed by their ability to bind to a specific protein, PCSK9, were invalid due to lack of enablement. The claims at issue were functional, in that they defined the genus by its function (the ability to bind to specific residues of PCSK9) as opposed to reciting a specific structure (the amino acid sequence of the antibodies in the genus). See MPEP 2164.01. Presently, the claimed antibody is only defined by functional properties: its ability to bind a second antigen. In view of the fact patterns detailed in Amgen v. Sanofi, the Applicant is not in possession of such an antibody which can bind to CD79b and any other antigen as presented by the claims. Providing SEQ ID NOs that represent specific sequences, with each position of the sequence defined with a specific amino acid, for the second antigen-binding moieties of the claimed bispecific antibody that are supported by the specification can provide sufficient structure(s) for claims 1 – 3 and 5 – 20. In view of this uncertainty and the lack of a representative number of examples of the claimed genus, the claims are rejected for lack of adequate written description support. The following is a quotation of 35 U.S.C. 112(b): (b) CONCLUSION.—The specification shall conclude with one or more claims particularly pointing out and distinctly claiming the subject matter which the inventor or a joint inventor regards as the invention. The following is a quotation of 35 U.S.C. 112 (pre-AIA ), second paragraph: The specification shall conclude with one or more claims particularly pointing out and distinctly claiming the subject matter which the applicant regards as his invention. Claims 2 – 3, 5 – 8, 10, 13 – 16 and 18 – 20 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 112(b) or 35 U.S.C. 112 (pre-AIA ), second paragraph, as being indefinite for failing to particularly point out and distinctly claim the subject matter which the inventor or a joint inventor (or for applications subject to pre-AIA 35 U.S.C. 112, the applicant), regards as the invention. Claims 2 and 5 each recites “compared with original sequence”; however, it is not clear what the “original sequence” refers to. Claim 8 comprises three elements (1)-(3), but the claim does not recite “and” or “or” between the elements. Thus, it is unclear and indefinite if the three elements (1)-(3) are a combination or alternatives. The three elements (1)-(3) will be interpreted to be in the alternative or in combination. Claim 8 recites the limitation "the peptide linker" in part (3). There is insufficient antecedent basis for this limitation in the claim. Claims 2 – 3, 5 – 8, 10, 13 – 16, 18 and 20 each recites the term(s) "preferably", which renders the claims indefinite because it is unclear whether the limitation(s) following the phrase are part of the claimed invention. In addition, claim 20 recites “optionally” which is followed by limitations that are preceded by “alternatively” or “preferably”. It is not clear which limitations are optional or if all the limitations after “optionally” are optional limitations. Claim 19 depends from claim 18 and thus inherits the deficiencies of claim 18. The following is a quotation of 35 U.S.C. 112(d): (d) REFERENCE IN DEPENDENT FORMS.—Subject to subsection (e), a claim in dependent form shall contain a reference to a claim previously set forth and then specify a further limitation of the subject matter claimed. A claim in dependent form shall be construed to incorporate by reference all the limitations of the claim to which it refers. The following is a quotation of pre-AIA 35 U.S.C. 112, fourth paragraph: Subject to the following paragraph [i.e., the fifth paragraph of pre-AIA 35 U.S.C. 112], a claim in dependent form shall contain a reference to a claim previously set forth and then specify a further limitation of the subject matter claimed. A claim in dependent form shall be construed to incorporate by reference all the limitations of the claim to which it refers. Claims 2, 5 and 20 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 112(d) or pre-AIA 35 U.S.C. 112, 4th paragraph, as being of improper dependent form for failing to further limit the subject matter of the claim upon which it depends, or for failing to include all the limitations of the claim upon which it depends. Claims 2 and 5 recites sequences that are at least 80% identical to sequences of the VH and VL. 80% wherein, the variant comprises one or more amino acid substitutions, deletions or additions compared with original sequence; preferably, the substitution is a conservative substitution may not cover all the CDRs of the VH or VL that are recited in claims 1 and 4, from which claims 2 and 5 depend, respectively. For example, the VH of SEQ ID NO: 9 is 110 amino acids and VH CDR1 of SEQ ID NO: 3 is five amino acids, VH CDR2 of SEQ ID NO: 4 is 16 amino acids and VH CDR3 of SEQ ID NO: 5 is 11 amino acids. Thus a sequence that is 80% identical to SEQ ID NO: 9 may not cover one or more CDRs. Thus, claims 2 and 5 fail to further limit claims 1 and 4, respectively. Claim 20 recites “wherein the multispecific antibody is a bispecific antibody” but does not recite additional limitations that are required (not optional) and further limit claim 18 from which claim 20 depends. Applicant may cancel the claim(s), amend the claim(s) to place the claim(s) in proper dependent form, rewrite the claim(s) in independent form, or present a sufficient showing that the dependent claim(s) complies with the statutory requirements. Claim Rejections - 35 USC § 103 In the event the determination of the status of the application as subject to AIA 35 U.S.C. 102 and 103 (or as subject to pre-AIA 35 U.S.C. 102 and 103) is incorrect, any correction of the statutory basis (i.e., changing from AIA to pre-AIA ) for the rejection will not be considered a new ground of rejection if the prior art relied upon, and the rationale supporting the rejection, would be the same under either status. The following is a quotation of 35 U.S.C. 103 which forms the basis for all obviousness rejections set forth in this Office action: A patent for a claimed invention may not be obtained, notwithstanding that the claimed invention is not identically disclosed as set forth in section 102, if the differences between the claimed invention and the prior art are such that the claimed invention as a whole would have been obvious before the effective filing date of the claimed invention to a person having ordinary skill in the art to which the claimed invention pertains. Patentability shall not be negated by the manner in which the invention was made. The factual inquiries for establishing a background for determining obviousness under 35 U.S.C. 103 are summarized as follows: 1. Determining the scope and contents of the prior art. 2. Ascertaining the differences between the prior art and the claims at issue. 3. Resolving the level of ordinary skill in the pertinent art. 4. Considering objective evidence present in the application indicating obviousness or nonobviousness. This application currently names joint inventors. In considering patentability of the claims the examiner presumes that the subject matter of the various claims was commonly owned as of the effective filing date of the claimed invention(s) absent any evidence to the contrary. Applicant is advised of the obligation under 37 CFR 1.56 to point out the inventor and effective filing dates of each claim that was not commonly owned as of the effective filing date of the later invention in order for the examiner to consider the applicability of 35 U.S.C. 102(b)(2)(C) for any potential 35 U.S.C. 102(a)(2) prior art against the later invention. Claims 1 – 3, 6 – 18 and 20 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as being unpatentable over WANG (Wang J, et al. Characterization of anti-CD79b/CD3 bispecific antibody, a potential therapy for B cell malignancies. Cancer Immunol Immunother. 2023 Feb;72(2):493-507; see PTO-892: Notice of 18625PTO-892) in view of ZHOU (WO 2024/145219 A2, filed 12/22/2023, published 07/04/2024; see PTO-892). Present independent claim 1 is directed to a bispecific antibody, comprising: a first antigen-binding domain that specifically binds to a first antigen; and a second antigen-binding domain that specifically binds to a second antigen, wherein the first antigen is CD79b, wherein the second antigen is not CD79b; wherein the first antigen-binding domain comprises a first heavy chain variable region (VH) and a first light chain variable region (VL), wherein, the first VH comprises a CDR1 comprising the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 3, a CDR2 comprising the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 4, and a CDR3 comprising the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 5; and the first VL comprises a CDR1 comprising the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 6, a CDR2 comprising the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 7, and a CDR3 comprising the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 8. WANG is directed to a human IgG-like anti-CD79b/CD3 bispecific antibody (IBI38D9-L) that selectively depletes antigen-positive malignant B cells as an alternative treatment option for relapsed or refractory non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) patients. See WANG at the abstract. WANG teaches that preclinical efficacy and safety data provide strong scientific rationales for using anti-CD79b/CD3 bispecific antibody as a promising therapeutic agent for B cell malignancies. However, WANG does not teach the anti-CD79b CDRs of present claim 1. ZHOU is directed to anti-CD79b (Cluster of Differentiation 79B) antibodies, antigen-binding fragments thereof, antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) derived therefrom, and the uses thereof. See ZHOU at the abstract. ZHOU teaches CD79b is an attractive therapeutic target for B-cell malignancies because not only the broad expression in B-cell malignancies, but also the unaltered expression after the loss of CD 19 or CD20 make this receptor an attractive alternative for targeted treatment beyond CD19 or CD20 targeted treatment; and because when the B-cell receptor is cross-linked, it is targeted to the major histocompatibility complex class II compartment, a lysosome-like compartment, as part of class II antigen presentation by B cells; and thus, CD79b plays an important role of CD79b in cancer. See ZHOU at p. 1, line 26 – p. 2, line 2. ZHOU teaches the anti-CD79b antibody can be bi-specific or multi-specific. See p. 5-lines 6-8. ZHOU teaches the anti-CD79b CDRs of present claim 1. ZHOU’s SEQ ID NO: 69 teaches the CDRs of SEQ ID NOs: 3 – 5 with 100% identity, and ZHOU’s SEQ ID NO: 70 teaches the CDRs of SEQ ID NO: 6 – 8 with 100% identity. See Appendix. At the effective filing date of the present claims, it would have been prima facie obvious to the person of ordinary skill in the art to arrive at the claimed invention from the disclosures of WANG and ZHOU. The artisan would have been motivated to make and use the bispecific antibody of claim 1 because WANG teaches preclinical efficacy and safety data provide strong scientific rationales for using anti-CD79b/CD3 bispecific antibody as a promising therapeutic agent for B cell malignancies and ZHOU teaches therapeutic agents targeting CD79b. The artisan would have a reasonable expectation of success from the teachings of WANG and ZHOU. Regarding claims 2 and 18, ZHOU teaches the sequences of SEQ ID NO: 9 and 10 as recited. ZHOU’s SEQ ID NO: 17 is identical present SEQ ID NO: 9, and ZHOU’s SEQ ID NO: 18 is identical to present SEQ ID NO: 10. See Appendix. Regarding claim 3, WANG teaches that one of the antigens of the disclosed anti-CD79b/CD3 bispecific antibody is CD3. See WANG at the abstract. Regarding claim 6, ZHOU teaches that non-limiting examples of antibody fragments include, e.g., Fab, Fab’, F(ab’)2, and Fv fragments. See ZHOU at p. 18, lines 18 – 19. Regarding claim 7, ZHOU teaches that the disclosed antibody or antigen-binding fragment comprises a human IgG1 Fc, a human IgG2 Fc, or a human IgG4 Fc. See ZHOU at claim 63. Regarding claim 8, WANG teaches that the novel fully humanized CD79b/CD3 bispecific antibody (IBI38D9-L), which was developed using the knob-into-hole technology with reduced Fc-mediated antibody. See WANG at p. 494, right column, second paragraph. WANG teaches that the structure of the bispecific antibody in WANG at Fig. 1a, p. 498 (which encompasses the limitations of present PNG media_image1.png 382 360 media_image1.png Greyscale claim 8): Regarding claim 9, ZHOU teaches a nucleic acid comprising a polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide comprising: an immunoglobulin heavy chain or a fragment thereof comprising a VH, and wherein the VH, when paired with a light chain variable region (VL) binds to CD79b. See ZHOU at claim 17. Regarding claim 10, ZHOU teaches a vector comprising the nucleic acid encoding the disclosed antibody. See ZHOU at claims 17 and 40 – 43. Regarding claim 11 – 12, ZHOU teaches a cell comprising the vector and a method of producing the disclosed antibody. See ZHOU at claims 43 – 48. Regarding claim 13, ZHOU teaches that the disclosed polypeptide (e.g., antibody) can be expressed in a modified form, such as a fusion protein (e.g., a GST-fusion) or with a histidine-tag, and may include not only secretion signals, but also additional heterologous functional regions. See ZHOU at p. 52, line 30 – p. 53, line 1. Regarding claim 14, ZHOU teaches that pharmaceutical compositions can be formulated using one or more physiologically acceptable carriers, diluents, excipients or auxiliaries. See ZHOU at p. 60, lines 15 – 16. Regarding claim 15, ZHOU teaches a method of treating a subject having cancer, the method comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of a composition comprising the disclosed antibody or antigen-binding fragment. See ZHOU at claim 69. Regarding claims 16 – 17, ZHOU teaches that antibodies to CD79a and CD79b are useful in the differential diagnosis of B-cell neoplasms from T-cell neoplasms or myeloid neoplasms, or L and H lymphocyte predominance Hodgkin's lymphoma from classic Hodgkin's lymphoma. See ZHOU at p. 22, lines 6 – 9. Regarding claim 20, WANG and ZHOU each teaches bispecific antibodies as discussed above. Claims 4, 5 and 19 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as being unpatentable over WANG in view of ZHOU as applied to claims 1 – 3, 6 – 18 and 20 above, and further in view of CHEN (US 2015/166661-A1, published 06/18/2015; see PTO-892). The teachings of WANG and ZHOU are discussed above and fully incorporated here. However, neither WANG nor ZHOU teaches bispecific antibody of claim 1 wherein the second antigen-binding domain comprises a second VH, a second VL and CDRs having the sequences of present claims 4, 5 and 19. CHEN is directed to a bispecific antibody that binds to CD20 and CD3. See CHEN at claim 1. CHEN teaches effective bispecific antibodies for use in cancer treatment. See CHEN at paragraph 0004. Regarding claim 4, CHEN teaches a bispecific antibody having the anti-CD3 CDRs of present SEQ ID NOs: 51 – 53 and SEQ ID NOs: 54 – 56. CHEN’s SEQ ID NO: 184 teaches present SEQ ID NOs: 51 – 53 of present claim 4 with 100% identity, and CHEN’s SEQ ID NO: 263 teaches present SEQ ID NOs: 54 – 56 of present claim 4 with 100% identity. See Appendix. Regarding claim 5 and 19, CHEN teaches the sequences of SEQ ID NOs: 57 and 58 with 100% identity. CHEN’s SEQ ID NO: 184 is identical to SEQ ID NO: 57, and CHEN’s SEQ ID NO: 185 is identical to SEQ ID NO: 58. See Appendix. At the effective filing date of the present claims, it would have been prima facie obvious to the person of ordinary skill in the art to arrive at the claimed invention from the disclosures of WANG, ZHOU and CHEN. The artisan would have been motivated to make and use the bispecific antibodies of claims 4, 5 and 19 because WANG teaches preclinical efficacy and safety data provide strong scientific rationales for using anti-CD79b/CD3 bispecific antibody as a promising therapeutic agent for B cell malignancies; ZHOU teaches therapeutic agents targeting CD79b; and CHEN teaches effective CD3 bispecific antibodies for use in cancer treatment. The artisan would have a reasonable expectation of success from the teachings of WANG, ZHOU and CHEN. Conclusion No claim is allowed.
