`
`effectiveness by FDA under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (“FFDCA”). Sanofi U.S.

`

`the ’864, ’652, and ’930 Patents. In its letter, Eli Lilly stated that its certification to FDA alleges
`

`
`No other portions of the 505(b)(2) application were provided before the Original Complaint for
`
`Patent Infringement (D.I. 1) was filed.
`
`31.
`
`On information and belief, 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 each of the Patents-in-Suit, literally and/or under the Doctrine of Equivalents.
`
`32.
`
`Each of the ’652 Patent, ’930 Patent, and ’864 Patent were submitted for listing in
`
`the Orange Book for NDA No. 21-081 on or before October 25, 2013.
`
`33.
`
`On information and belief, Eli Lilly submitted NDA No. 205-692 to FDA after
`
`October 25, 2013.
`

`
`Plaintiffs commenced this action within 45 days after receiving Eli Lilly’s Notice
`
`of Paragraph IV Certifications.

`
`and/or under the Doctrine of Equivalents.
`
