`
`
`
`NATURE OF THE ACTION [L.R. 16.3(C)(1)]
`
`Parties and Patents
`
`This is an action alleging patent infringement arising under the patent laws of the United
`
`States, Title 35, United States Code based on Defendant’s filing of a New Drug Application
`
`(“NDA”) with the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”).
`
`Plaintiffs are Sanofi-Aventis U.S. LLC (“Sanofi U.S.”) and Sanofi-Aventis Deutschland
`
`GmbH (“Sanofi GmbH”) (collectively “Sanofi” or “Plaintiffs”). Sanofi is represented by Steven
`
`J. Balick, Andrew Mayo, and Tiffany Geyer Lydon of Ashby & Geddes. Sanofi is also
`
`represented by Mark A. Perry, Frederick Brown, Tracey Davies, Joseph Evall, Ernest Hsin, and
`
`R. Scott Roe of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP.
`
`Sanofi U.S. is the holder of approved NDA No. 21-081 for insulin glargine [rDNA
`
`origin] for injection to treat diabetes, which is prescribed and sold in the United States under the
`
`trademarks Lantus® and Lantus® SoloSTAR®.
`
`Sanofi asserts five patents asserted in this litigation (collectively, “Patents-in-Suit”).
`
`United States Patents Nos. 8,556,864 (“the ’864 Patent”), 8,603,044 (“the ’044 Patent”), and
`
`8,679,069 (“the ’069 Patent”) are referred to herein by Sanofi as the “Asserted Device Patents.”
`
`U.S. Patent Nos. 7,476,652 (“the ’652 Patent”) and 7,713,930 (“the ’930 Patent”) are referred to
`
`herein by Sanofi as the “Asserted Formulation Patents.” Sanofi U.S. has listed the Patents-in-
`
`Suit in the FDA’s Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations (“Orange
`
`Book”).
`
`On or about February 10, 2009, Sanofi submitted the ’652 patent for listing in the Orange
`
`Book. On or about May 13, 2010, Sanofi submitted the ’930 patent for listing in the Orange
`
`Book. On or about October 25, 2013, Sanofi submitted the ’864 patent for listing in the Orange
`
`Book. On or about January 6, 2014, Sanofi submitted the ’044 patent for listing in the Orange
`

`
`
`
`Book. On or about March 25, 2014, Sanofi submitted the ’069 patent for listing in the Orange
`
`Book. The Orange Book provides the following expiration dates for the Patents-in-Suit:
`
`a) ’864 Patent: March 3, 2024
`
`b) ’044 Patent: March 2, 2024
`
`c) ’069 Patent: April 12, 2025
`
`d) ’652 Patent: July 23, 2023
`
`e) ’930 Patent: June 13, 20231
`
`By assignment, Sanofi GmbH owns all right, title, and interest in and to the Patents-in-
`
`Suit. Sanofi U.S. is an exclusive licensee of the Patents-in-Suit with exclusive rights, including
`
`the rights to sell and offer to sell in the United States the technologies, products, or services
`
`claimed by the Patents-in-Suit, further including the right to sue and recover for the infringement
`
`of the Patents-in-Suit.
`
`Defendant is Eli Lilly and Company (“Eli Lilly” or “Defendant”). Eli Lilly is represented
`
`by Joseph J. Farnan, Jr., Brian E. Farnan and Michael J. Farnan of Farnan LLP. Eli Lilly is also
`
`represented by Bruce M. Wexler, Gerald J. Flattmann, David M. Conca, Steven L. Park, and
`
`Nicholas A. Tymoczko of Paul Hastings LLP.
`
`Commencement of Civil Action No. 1:14-cv-00113-RGA-MPT
`
`On or about
`
`, Eli Lilly submitted NDA No. 205-692 to the FDA under
`
`Section 505(b)(2) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (“FFDCA”), 21 U.S.C.
`
`§ 355(b)(2), seeking the approval to manufacture commercially and sell its proposed product—
`
`
` 1 The ’652 and ’930 Patents are subject to an additional six months of pediatric exclusivity.

`
`Case 1:14-cv-00113-RGA-MPT Document 278 Filed 09/25/15 Page 5 of 22 PageID #: 9318
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`On or about December 18, 2013, Eli Lilly sent Sanofi a “Notice of Paragraph IV
`
`Certifications” pursuant to § 505(b)(2)(A)(iv) and (b)(3) of the FFDCA, which discloses that its
`
`NDA No. 205-692 contained Paragraph IV certifications for the patents listed in the Orange
`
`Book as of the time of the Notice, including, inter alia, the ’864, ’652, and ’930 Patents. Sanofi
`
`U.S. received Eli Lilly’s Notice of Paragraph IV Certifications on December 19, 2013, and Sanofi
`
`GmbH received Eli Lilly’s Notice of Paragraph IV Certifications on December 20, 2013.
`
`On or about January 23, 2014, Eli Lilly sent Sanofi an amendment to its “Notice of
`
`Paragraph IV Certifications” pursuant to § 505(b)(2)(A)(iv) and (b)(3) of the FFDCA, disclosing
`
`that Eli Lilly amended its Paragraph IV certifications contained in NDA No. 205-692 to include
`
`the ’044 Patent. Sanofi U.S. received Eli Lilly’s amendment to its Notice of Paragraph IV
`
`Certifications on January 24, 2014, and Sanofi GmbH received Eli Lilly’s amendment to its
`
`Notice of Paragraph IV Certifications on or about January 27, 2014.
`
`Sanofi commenced case number 1:14-cv-00113-RGA-MPT (the “Action”) within 45
`
`days after receiving Eli Lilly’s Notice of Paragraph IV Certifications by filing a Complaint on
`
`January 30, 2014. Sanofi asserted that Eli Lilly was infringing under 35 U.S.C. § 271(e)(2)(A)
`
`by its submission of NDA No. 205-692 prior to the expiration of the ’864, ’044, ’652, and ’930
`
`Patents. See No. 14-113-RGA-MPT, D.I. 1. Sanofi also asserted that if Eli Lilly’s NDA No.
`
`205-692 were to be approved, then Eli Lilly’s manufacture, use, sale and/or offer to sell in the
`
`United States, and/or importation into the United States, of its Proposed Product would infringe
`
`the ’864, ’044, ’652, and ’930 Patents under 35 U.S.C. § 271(a), (b), and (c), literally and/or
`
`under the Doctrine of Equivalents. Id. On or about February 19, 2014, Lilly filed its Answer

`
`
`
`and Counterclaims denying infringement and alleging counterclaims of, inter alia, patent
`
`invalidity and unenforceability with respect to the Asserted Patents. See No. 14-113-RGA-MPT,
`
`D.I. 8.
`
`On or about May 14, 2014, Eli Lilly sent Sanofi a “Notice of Paragraph IV Certification
`
`Regarding NDA No. 012081 with Respect to U.S. Patent No. 8,679,069” (the “’069 Patent
`
`Notice of Paragraph IV Certification”) pursuant to § 505(b)(2)(A)(iv) and (b)(3) of the FFDCA,
`
`disclosing that Eli Lilly amended its Paragraph IV certifications contained in NDA No. 205-692
`
`to include the ’069 Patent. Sanofi U.S. received Eli Lilly’s ’069 Patent Notice of Paragraph IV
`
`Certification on May 15, 2014, and Sanofi GmbH received Eli Lilly’s Notice of Paragraph IV
`
`Certification soon thereafter.
`
`Amended Complaint and Subsequent Proceedings
`
`On May 29, 2014, Sanofi filed an Amended Complaint to add the ’069 Patent. Sanofi
`
`asserts in the Amended Complaint that Eli Lilly is infringing each of the Patents-in-Suit under 35
`
`U.S.C. § 271(e)(2)(A) by its submission of NDA No. 205-692 prior to the expiration of the ’864,
`
`’044, ’652, ’930, and ’069 Patents. See No. 14-113-RGA-MPT, D.I. 53. Sanofi also asserted
`
`that if Eli Lilly’s NDA No. 205-692 were to be approved, then Eli Lilly’s manufacture, use, sale
`
`and/or offer to sell in the United States, and/or importation into the United States, of its Proposed
`
`Product would infringe the ’864, ’044, ’652, ’930, and ’069 Patents under 35 U.S.C. § 271(a),
`
`(b), and (c), literally and/or under the Doctrine of Equivalents. See id.
`
`On June 16, 2014, Eli Lilly filed its Answer, denying infringement of the Patents-in-Suit
`
`and alleging that the claims of the Patents-in-Suit are invalid. Eli Lilly also filed counterclaims
`
`consisting of seven counts, including, inter alia, a declaration of non-infringement with respect
`
`to the Patents-in-Suit, a declaration of invalidity with respect to the Patents-in-Suit, and a
`

`
`
`
`declaration that certain Patents-in-Suit are unenforceable due to prosecution laches. See D.I. 65.
`
`On July 10, 2014, Sanofi filed its Answer and affirmative defenses, denying each of Eli Lilly’s
`
`counterclaims. See D.I. 77.

`
`
`
`EXHIBITS [L.R. 16.3(C)(6)]
`
`A. Trial Exhibits
`
`The list of exhibits which, subject to continued meeting and conferring in advance of and
`
`during trial, may ultimately be offered jointly by Sanofi and Eli Lilly, is attached hereto as
`
`Exhibit 6.
`
`The list of exhibits which may be offered by Sanofi, including Eli Lilly’s objections
`
`thereto, is attached hereto as Exhibit 7.
`
`The list of exhibits which may be offered by Eli Lilly, including Sanofi’s objections
`
`thereto, is attached hereto as Exhibit 8.
`
`The parties agree to make physical exhibits, if any, reasonably available for inspection by
`
`September 21, 2015. For the avoidance of doubt, this does not include demonstrative exhibits,
`
`described below.
`
`The parties agree that non-English documents included on a party’s exhibit list must be
`
`accompanied by a certified English translation. Once the pre-trial order is filed with the Court,
`
`modification of trial exhibits will be permitted until 6:00 p.m. ET on September 20, 2015, to the
`
`extent necessary to comply with any rulings made by the Court at the pre-trial conference. After
`
`that time, modification of trial exhibit lists will not be permitted except upon order of the Court
`
`for good cause shown, or upon agreement of the Parties.
`
`Except as otherwise set forth herein (including but not limited to paragraph 0 regarding
`
`impeachment), any document not listed in Exhibits 6–8 above, as supplemented per paragraph 0
`
`if applicable, will not be admitted into evidence, unless the parties agree otherwise or absent
`
`good cause shown.

`
`
`
`Each party reserves the right to offer exhibits set forth on the other party’s exhibit list,
`
`even if not set forth on its own exhibit list. Any trial exhibit, once admitted, may be used equally
`
`by either party subject to any limitations as to its admission into evidence.
`
`The parties reserve their rights to raise all objections to exhibits as set forth on the trial
`
`exhibit lists. The listing of a trial exhibit does not constitute an admission as to the admissibility
`
`of the trial exhibit (i.e., a waiver of any applicable objection). Each party reserves the right to
`
`object to the relevance or admissibility of any evidence offered by the other party (or jointly), at
`
`the time such evidence is offered, in view of the specific context in which such evidence is
`
`offered, or for any other reason as set forth in the Federal Rules of Evidence or other applicable
`
`principles of law.
`
`Each party shall serve on opposing counsel by electronic mail a written list by exhibit
`
`number of the trial exhibits (i.e., the subset of trial exhibits already disclosed on Exhibits 6–8
`
`and any timely supplements thereto) that each party intends to use during direct examination of a
`
`witness, by 7:00 p.m. ET on the calendar day before such direct examination is expected to take
`
`place. The party receiving the identification of exhibits intended for use during direct
`
`examination of a witness will inform the party identifying the exhibits of any objections by 9:30
`
`p.m. that same day, and the parties shall meet and confer by 10:00 p.m. ET that evening in a
`
`good-faith effort to discuss and resolve any objections to the trial exhibits. The advance
`
`notification provision for exhibits does not apply to exhibits to be used during cross-examination.
`
`Other than trial exhibits jointly designated by the parties in Exhibit 6 and any
`
`supplements thereto, or as otherwise agreed by the parties, no exhibit shall be admitted unless
`
`offered into evidence through a witness, who must at least be shown the exhibit. At some point
`
`before the completion of the parties’ case in chief, any party that has used an exhibit with a
`

`

`
`
`
`witness and wishes for that exhibit to be admitted into evidence must formally move the exhibit
`
`into evidence, by exhibit number.
`
`The parties agree that exhibits to be used solely for impeachment need not be included on
`
`the lists of trial exhibits or disclosed in advance of being used or offered at trial. Certified
`
`translations of non-English documents intended to be used for impeachment must be affixed to
`
`the non-English document and for any non-English document, the translation and non-English
`
`document must be served by 7:00 pm ET one calendar day prior to its use in Court. The party
`
`receiving the translations will inform the party providing the translations of any objections to the
`
`translations by 9:30 p.m. that same day, unless for good cause shown more time is required (e.g.,
`
`due to the volume of translated documents). The parties shall meet and confer by 10:00 p.m. ET
`
`that evening in a good-faith effort to discuss and resolve any objections to the translations.
`
`Demonstrative Exhibits
`
`Exhibits that the parties intend to use at trial solely for demonstrative purposes without
`
`admitting into evidence (“demonstrative exhibits”) do not need to be described on their
`
`respective lists of trial exhibits.
`
`Each demonstrative exhibit shall clearly indicate on the face of the demonstrative exhibit,
`
`if practicable, all information sources (including, if available, trial exhibit numbers) that form the
`
`basis for the demonstrative exhibit. If not practicable to indicate the sources on the face of the
`
`demonstrative exhibit itself, an identification of the sources shall accompany the demonstrative
`
`exhibit.
`
`Each party shall serve on opposing counsel by electronic mail and/or electronic media
`
`full color copies (or videos, for the case of animations) of any demonstrative exhibits that each
`
`party intends to use at trial during opening statements or during direct examination of a witness
`

`
`
`
`according to the schedule below. For irregularly sized physical demonstrative exhibits, the party
`
`seeking to use the demonstrative exhibit will provide a color representation as a PDF of 8.5 x 11
`
`inch copies of the demonstrative exhibit and make the original available for inspection by the
`
`opposing party.
`
`For demonstrative exhibits to be used in connection with opening statements, each party
`
`shall exchange such demonstrative exhibits by 4:00 pm ET the day before opening statements.
`
`The party receiving identification of demonstrative exhibits for opening statements will inform
`
`the party identifying the demonstrative exhibits of any objections by 9:30 pm ET on the day
`
`before opening statements, and the parties will meet and confer as soon as possible thereafter to
`
`resolve such objections, but in any event by 10:00 pm ET that same day.
`
`For demonstrative exhibits to be used in connection with direct examination of a witness,
`
`each party shall exchange such demonstrative exhibits by 7:00 pm ET on the calendar day before
`
`such direct examination is expected to take place. The party receiving identification of
`
`demonstrative exhibits for direct examination will inform the party identifying the demonstrative
`
`exhibits of any objections by 9:30 pm ET on the day of receipt, and the parties will meet and
`
`confer as soon as possible thereafter to resolve such objections, but in any event by 10:00 pm ET
`
`that same day.
`
`For the avoidance of doubt, a demonstrative exhibit that falls into one (and only one) of
`
`the following categories is not required to be provided to the other side in advance of its use: (a)
`
`a copy of a single trial exhibit or part of a single trial exhibit, or a blow-up or highlighting of a
`
`single trial exhibit or part of a single trial exhibit, or (b) a blow-up or highlighting of a single
`
`deposition or trial transcript or part of a single deposition or trial transcript.

`
`
`The advance notification provisions for demonstrative exhibits do not apply to
`
`demonstrative exhibits used in closing statements (to the extent closing statements are required
`
`by the Court), or to demonstratives used for cross-examination, which do not need to be provided
`
`to the other side in advance of their use.
`
`WITNESSES [L.R. 16.3(C)(7)]
`
`Sanofi’s list of fact and expert witnesses they may call at trial, either live or by
`
`deposition, is attached hereto as Exhibit 9.
`
`Eli Lilly’s list of fact and expert witnesses they may call at trial, either live or by
`
`deposition, is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.
`
`Any witness not listed in Exhibits 9 or 10 above will be precluded from trial absent good
`
`cause shown.
`
`The curricula vitae of live witnesses a party intends to call at trial may be submitted at
`
`the time of the pre-trial conference.
`
`The listing of a witness on a party’s witness list does not require that party to call that
`
`witness to testify, either in person or by deposition, nor shall it constitute an admission as to the
`
`availability or unavailability of that witness to appear live at trial.
`
`[Sanofi’s proposal: Dr. Norbert Lill will testify primarily in English, but may need the
`
`occasional assistance of a German translator.] [Lilly’s proposal: No party expects that its
`
`witnesses will testify live at trial in a foreign language.]
`
`Each party shall serve on opposing counsel by electronic mail a list of all witnesses
`
`(whether live or via deposition testimony) that the party intends to call at trial by 6:00 p.m. ET
`
`on the calendar day before such testimony is expected to take place. The party receiving
`
`identification of the witnesses will inform the party identifying the witnesses of any objections

`
`
`
`by 8:00 pm ET on the day of receipt, and the parties will meet and confer as soon as possible
`
`thereafter to resolve such objections, but in any event by 9:00 pm ET that same day.
`
`A. Deposition Designations
`
`Deposition testimony that Sanofi may offer into evidence, together with Eli Lilly’s
`
`counter-designations and the parties’ respective objections, is identified in Exhibit 11 hereto.
`
`Deposition testimony that Eli Lilly may offer into evidence, together with Sanofi’s counter-
`
`designations and the parties’ respective objections, is identified in Exhibit 12 hereto. Deposition
`
`testimony to be used solely for cross-examination but not admitted into evidence need not be
`
`identified to the other side in advance of its use.
`
`Each party shall serve on opposing counsel by electronic mail a written list of the final
`
`remaining lines and pages of each deposition transcript (i.e., the subset of deposition
`
`designations already disclosed in Exhibits 11 and 12 and any timely supplements thereto), prior
`
`to reading or playing a video of the deposition at trial (other than for impeachment of a witness
`
`or cross-examination) that a party intends to use at trial by 7:00 p.m. ET on the calendar day
`
`before such deposition designation is expected to be used. The party receiving the identification
`
`of deposition designations will inform the party identifying the deposition designations of any
`
`objections and counter-designations by 9:30 p.m. that same day, and the parties shall meet and
`
`confer by 10:00 p.m. ET that evening in a good-faith effort to discuss and resolve any objections
`
`to the deposition designations.
`
`To the extent that deposition designations or counter-designations are admitted into
`
`evidence, they must either be played by video or read in open court. The parties will request that
`
`the court reporter transcribe any deposition video testimony that is played in open Court. If a
`
`party opts to introduce deposition testimony, any counter-designation of that same witnesses’

`
`Case 1:14-cv-00113-RGA-MPT Document 278 Filed 09/25/15 Page 14 of 22 PageID #: 9327
`
`
`
`testimony must be submitted in the same medium, and the testimony designated by both parties
`
`will be played or read consecutively in the sequence in which the testimony was originally given
`
`at deposition. To the extent deposition designations are read or played in open court, each party
`
`will be charged the time taken to read or play its designations. For convenience, if both parties’
`
`designations are played together, the time charged to each party will be measured by the
`
`proportion of the number of lines of testimony for each party’s designations as compared to the
`
`total number of lines of testimony read or played. Prior to the introduction of deposition
`
`designations or counter-designations, counsel for the introducing party may provide a short
`
`introduction to the Court about the identity of the witness and subject matter of deposition
`
`testimony, which introduction the parties agree is not evidence and the time for which will be
`
`charged against that party.
`
`All irrelevant and redundant colloquy between counsel and objections will be eliminated
`
`when the deposition transcript is presented at trial. However, any objections that the parties
`
`intend to seek a ruling on from the Court will be made at trial.
`
`Sanofi and Eli Lilly each reserve the right to read or play as counter-designations any of
`
`the other party’s affirmative deposition designations that are not read or played at trial, subject to
`
`the limitations set forth in Fed. R. Civ. P. 32(a)(6), Fed. R. Evid. 106, and any other applicable
`
`Federal or Local Rule.
`
`The listing of a deposition designation does not constitute an admission as to the
`
`admissibility of the testimony nor is it a waiver of any applicable objection.
`
`BRIEF STATEMENT OF INTENDED PROOFS [L.R. 16.3(C)(8)–(10)]
`
`In support of their claims and in addition to the facts not in dispute, Sanofi expects to
`
`offer the proofs set forth in Exhibit 13.

`
`PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE PLEADINGS [L.R. 16.3(C)(11)]

`
`CERTIFICATION OF SETTLEMENT DISCUSSIONS [L.R. 16.3(C)(12)]

`The parties certify that they have engaged in a good faith effort to explore the resolution
`
`of the controversy by settlement. A settlement has not yet been reached.
`
`MISCELLANEOUS ISSUES
`
`A. Stipulations
`
`The parties’ agreed stipulations for the case are set forth below.
`
`The parties agree that neither side shall require the other side to lay a business record
`
`foundation for the introduction of a document as an exhibit, and that the document shall qualify as
`
`a business record under Fed. R. Evid. 803(6), unless the document meets one or more of the
`
`following conditions: (i) the document was disclosed after the close of discovery, and the
`
`disclosing party seeks to introduce the document into evidence; (ii) the document was not
`
`identified on the introducing party’s “list of pre-marked exhibits” [i.e., Exhibits 6–8] pursuant to
`
`Local Rule 16.3(c)(6) and 16.3(d) prior to the deadline for supplementation of trial exhibits (see
`
`¶ 0); or (iii) the opposing party has made a specific written objection prior to September 24 (see
`
`¶ 0) that specifically explains the basis for why the document in question was not created and
`
`maintained in the ordinary course of business.
`
`The parties agree that neither side shall require the other side to lay an authenticity
`
`foundation for the introduction of a document or thing, including a sample, as an exhibit, and that
`
`such document or thing shall be deemed authentic under Fed. R. Evid. 901, unless the document
`
`meets one or more of the following conditions: (i) the document was disclosed after the close of
`
`{01044340;v1 }

`
`
`
`discovery, and the disclosing party seeks to introduce the document into evidence; (ii) the
`
`document was not identified on the introducing party’s “list of pre-marked exhibits” [i.e.,
`
`Exhibits 6–8] pursuant to Local Rule 16.3(c)(6) and 16.3(d) prior to the deadline for
`
`supplementation of trial exhibits (see ¶ 0); or (iii) the opposing party has made a specific written
`
`objection prior to September 24 (see ¶ 0) that specifically explains the basis for why the document
`
`in question is not authentic.
`
`Each party agrees that complete legible copies of documents may be offered and received
`
`into evidence to the same extent as an original unless a genuine question is raised as to the
`
`authenticity of the original, or if in the circumstances it would be unfair to admit the copy in lieu
`
`of the original. Complete legible copies of United States and foreign patents and/or applications,
`
`and the contents of associated file histories, may be offered and received into evidence in lieu of
`
`certified copies thereof, subject to all other objections which might be made to the admissibility
`
`of certified copies.
