`
`JURISDICTION
`
`52.
`
`Plaintiffs incorporate each of the preceding paragraphs as if each fully set
`
`forth herein.
`
`53.
`
`This Court has subject matter jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1331,
`
`1338(a), 2201, and 2202.
`
`54.
`
`Based on the facts and causes alleged herein, and for additional reasons to
`
`be further developed through discovery if necessary, this Court has personal jurisdiction over
`
`each of the defendants.
`
`Aurobindo
`
`55.
`
`This Court has personal jurisdiction over Aurobindo Pharma USA, Inc.
`
`because, among other things, Aurobindo Pharma USA, Inc. is a corporation formed under the
`
`laws of the State of Delaware.
`
`56.
`
`This Court has personal jurisdiction over Aurobindo Pharma Limited and
`
`Aurobindo Pharma USA, Inc. because, among other things, on information and belief: (1)
`
`Aurobindo Pharma Limited, acting in concert with Aurobindo Pharma USA, Inc., has filed an
`
`ANDA for the purpose of seeking approval to engage in the commercial manufacture, use, offer
`
`for sale, sale, and/or importation of Aurobindo’s ANDA Products in the United States, including
`
`in Delaware; and (2) Aurobindo Pharma Limited and Aurobindo Pharma USA, Inc., acting in
`
`12
`
`
`
`Case 1:15-cv-00902-RGA Document 1 Filed 10/09/15 Page 13 of 64 PageID #: 13
`
`concert and/or as agents of one another, will market, distribute, offer for sale, and/or sell
`
`Aurobindo’s ANDA Products in the United States, including in Delaware, upon approval of
`
`ANDA No. 208544, and will derive substantial revenue from the use or consumption of
`
`Aurobindo’s ANDA Products in the State of Delaware. On information and belief, if ANDA No.
`
`208544 is approved, the generic Aurobindo products charged with infringing the ’456, ’860, and
`
`’339 patents would, among other things, be marketed, distributed, offered for sale, and/or sold in
`
`Delaware, prescribed by physicians practicing in Delaware, and dispensed by pharmacies located
`
`within Delaware, and/or used by patients in Delaware, all of which would have a substantial
`
`effect on Delaware.
`
`57.
`
`Aurobindo Pharma Limited and Aurobindo Pharma USA, Inc. have
`
`consented to jurisdiction in Delaware in one or more prior cases arising out of the filing of their
`
`ANDAs, and they have filed counterclaims in such cases.
`
`58.
`
`Alternatively, if Aurobindo Pharma Limited’s connections with Delaware,
`
`including its connections with Aurobindo Pharma USA, Inc., are found to be insufficient to
`
`confer personal jurisdiction, then, upon information and belief, Aurobindo Pharma Limited is not
`
`subject to jurisdiction in any state’s courts of general jurisdiction, and exercising jurisdiction
`
`over Aurobindo Pharma Limited in Delaware is consistent with the United States Constitution
`
`and laws. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(k)(2).
`
`Breckenridge
`
`59.
`
`This Court has personal jurisdiction over Breckenridge because, on
`
`information and belief, Breckenridge has registered to do business in the State of Delaware and
`
`has appointed a registered agent in Delaware to accept service of process. Breckenridge has thus
`
`consented to personal jurisdiction in Delaware.

`
`This Court also has personal jurisdiction over Breckenridge because,
`
`among other things, on information and belief: (1) Breckenridge has filed an ANDA for the
`
`purpose of seeking approval to engage in the commercial manufacture, use, offer for sale, sale,
`
`and/or importation of Breckenridge’s ANDA Products in the United States, including in
`
`Delaware; and (2) Breckenridge will market, distribute, offer for sale, and/or sell Breckenridge’s
`
`ANDA Products in the United States, including in Delaware, upon approval of ANDA No.
`
`208220, and will derive substantial revenue from the use or consumption of Breckenridge’s
`
`ANDA Products in the State of Delaware. On information and belief, if ANDA No. 208220 is
`
`approved, the generic Breckenridge products charged with infringing the ’456 and ’860 patents
`
`would, among other things, be marketed, distributed, offered for sale, and/or sold in Delaware,
`
`prescribed by physicians practicing in Delaware, and dispensed by pharmacies located within
`
`Delaware, and/or used by patients in Delaware, all of which would have a substantial effect on
`
`Delaware.
`
`61.
`
`Breckenridge has consented to jurisdiction in Delaware in one or more
`
`prior cases arising out of the filing of its ANDAs, and it has filed counterclaims in such cases.
`
`62.
`
`In addition, Breckenridge, through its counsel, has represented that it will
`
`not contest personal jurisdiction in Delaware for purposes of this case.
`
`Micro Labs
`
`63.
`
`This Court has personal jurisdiction over Micro Labs Ltd. and Micro Labs

`
`concert with Micro Labs USA Inc., has filed an ANDA for the purpose of seeking approval to
`
`engage in the commercial manufacture, use, offer for sale, sale, and/or importation of Micro

`
`Micro Labs USA Inc., acting in concert and/or as agents of one another, will market, distribute,
`
`offer for sale, and/or sell Micro Labs’ ANDA Products in the United States, including in
`
`Delaware, upon approval of ANDA No. 208334, and will derive substantial revenue from the use
`
`or consumption of Micro Labs’ ANDA Products in the State of Delaware. On information and
`
`belief, if ANDA No. 208334 is approved, the generic Micro Labs products charged with

`
`and/or sold in Delaware, prescribed by physicians practicing in Delaware, and dispensed by
`
`pharmacies located within Delaware, and/or used by patients in Delaware, all of which would
`
`have a substantial effect on Delaware.
`
`64. Micro Labs Ltd. and Micro Labs USA Inc. have consented to jurisdiction
`
`in Delaware in one or more prior cases arising out of the filing of their ANDAs, and they have
`
`filed counterclaims in such cases.
`
`65.
`
`Alternatively, if Micro Labs Ltd.’s connections with Delaware are found
`
`to be insufficient to confer personal jurisdiction, then, upon information and belief, Micro Labs
`
`Ltd. is not subject to jurisdiction in any state’s courts of general jurisdiction, and exercising
`
`jurisdiction over Micro Labs Ltd. in Delaware is consistent with the United States Constitution
`
`and laws. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(k)(2).
`
`66.
`
`In addition, Micro Labs Ltd. and Micro Labs USA Inc., through their
`
`counsel, have represented that they will not contest personal jurisdiction in Delaware for
`
`purposes of this case.

`
`information and belief, if ANDA No. 208561 is approved, the generic Mylan products charged

`distributed, offered for sale, and/or sold in Delaware, prescribed by physicians practicing in
`
`Delaware, and dispensed by pharmacies located within Delaware, and/or used by patients in
`
`Delaware, all of which would have a substantial effect on Delaware.
