                              5. A Method of treating an HBV infected host comprising the                                 
                              administration of an effective HBV treatment amount of the                                  
                              compound                                                                                    



                                                                  NMI                                                     












                             wherein R is hydrogen or C,-, alkyl or a pharmaceutically                                    
                             acceptable salt thereof to said HBV infected host.                                           

               9. In our decision on preliminary motions (Paper 65), we provisionally granted Belleau's                   
                      preliminary motion to add count 2 (preliminary motion 1) and Belleau's preliminary                  

                      motion to add count 3 (preliminary motion 16) to the interference (Paper 65 at 20).                 
               10. Count 2 reads as follows:                                                                              

                            A method of treating hepatitis B virus infection and/or inhibiting                            
                            hepatitis B virus replication in a patient in need thereof, including                         
                            humans and other mammals, comprising administering to said                                    
                            patient an effective amount of (-)-cis-4-amino- 1 -(2                                         
                            hydroxymethyl- 1,3-oxathiolan-5-yl)-(l H)-pyrimidin-2-one of the                              
                            formula:                                                                                      


                                                          7
