`
`

`

`Case 1:16-cv-01009-RGA Document 1 Filed 10/31/16 Page 4 of 15 PageID #: 4
`
`15.
`
`On August 30, 2010, Suboxone sublingual film was approved in 2 mg/0.5 mg and
`
`8 mg/2 mg dosage strengths (buprenorphine/naloxone base equivalents).
`
`16.
`
`On August 10, 2012, Suboxone sublingual film was approved in 4 mg/1 mg and
`
`12 mg/3 mg dosage strengths (buprenorphine/naloxone base equivalents).
`
`17.
`
`The ’832 Patent, the ’150 Patent, and the ’514 Patent (collectively, the “Orange
`
`Book-Listed Patents”) are listed in the FDA’s Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic
`
`EquivalenceEvaluations(the “Orange Book”) as covering Suboxone sublingual film.
`
`THE DRUG APPROVAL PROCESS
`
`18.
`
`In 1984, Congress enacted the Drug Price Competition and Patent Term
`
`Restoration Act, commonly known as the “Hatch-Waxman Act” and codified at 21 U.S.C. § 355.
`
`The Hatch-Waxman Act was intended to balance two important public policy goals. First,
`
`Congress wanted to ensure that innovator drug manufacturers would have meaningful patent
`
`protection and a period of marketing exclusivity to enable them to recoup their investments in
`
`the development of valuable new drugs. Second, Congress sought to ensure that, once the patent
`
`protection and marketing exclusivity for these drugs expire, consumers would benefit from the
`
`availability of lower priced generic versions of approved drugs.
`
`19.
`
`Under 21 U.S.C. § 355(b)(1),
`
`the innovator drug manufacturer and NDA
`
`applicant is required to submit extensive testing and safety information concerning the drug. In
`
`addition, the NDA applicant must submit information on “any patent which claims the drug for
`
`which the applicant submitted the application or which claims a method of using such drug and
`
`with respect to which a claim of patent infringement could reasonably be asserted.” Once the
`
`NDA is approved, the FDA lists this patent information in the Orange Book.
`
`4
`
`

`

`Case 1:16-cv-01009-RGA Document 1 Filed 10/31/16 Page 5 of 15 PageID #: 5
`
`20.
`
`In contrast, the Hatch-Waxman Act allows ANDA applicants to obtain FDA
`
`approval for generic versions of previously-approved drugs without having to repeat
`
`the
`
`extensive testing required for a new drug application. Under 21 U.S.C. § 355(j), ANDAs can rely
`
`on FDA’s previous findings of safety and efficacy for an approved drug product, if they
`
`demonstrate, among other things, that the generic drug is bioequivalent to the previously-
`
`approved drug.
`
`21. When a generic manufacturer submits an ANDA, the FDA conducts a preliminary
`
`review of the application to ensure it is sufficiently complete to permit a substantive review. See
`
`21 C.F.R. § 314.101(b)(1). “Receipt of an [ANDA] means that FDA has made a threshold
`
`determination that the abbreviated application is sufficiently complete to permit a substantive
`
`review.” Id.
`
`22.
`
`Under 21 U.S.C. § 355(j)(2)(A)(vii), the ANDA must also include one of the
`
`following four certifications with respect to each of the patents listed in the Orange Book for the
`
`previously-approved drug product: (i) that the patent information has not been filed (“Paragraph
`
`I” certifications); (ii) that the patent has expired (“Paragraph II” certifications); (iii) that the
`
`patent will expire on a specific date, and the generic will stay off the market until that date
`
`(“Paragraph III” certifications); or (iv) that the “patent is invalid or will not be infringed by the
`
`manufacture, use, or sale of the new drug for which the application is submitted” (“Paragraph
`
`IV” certifications).
`
`23.
`
`If the ANDA includes a Paragraph IV certification, the Hatch-Waxman Act
`
`requires the ANDA applicant to give notice (“notice of Paragraph IV certification”) to the patent
`
`owner of the factual and legal basis for the applicant’s opinion that patents listed in the Orange
`
`Book are invalid or will not be infringed, “not later than 20 days after the date of the postmark on
`
`5
`
`

`

`Case 1:16-cv-01009-RGA Document 1 Filed 10/31/16 Page 6 of 15 PageID #: 6
`
`the notice with which the [FDA] informs the applicant that the application has been filed.” 21
`
`U.S.C. § 355(j)(2)(B).
`
`24.
`
`The patent owner can file an infringement action within 45 days of receiving the
`
`notice of Paragraph IV certification. Such a filing by the patent owner triggers a 30-month
`
`injunction or stay of the FDA approval, beginning on the date of receipt of the notice. See21
`
`U.S.C. § 355(j)(5)(B)(iii). This 30-month period is intended to allow time for judicial resolution
`
`on the merits of any patent infringement, validity, and/or enforceability claims, before the
`
`competitor is allowed entry into the market.
`
`25.
`
`Federal regulations also govern the timing of the notice of Paragraph IV
`
`certification by directing the generic manufacturer to send such notice “when it receives from
`
`FDA an acknowledgment letter stating that its [ANDA] is sufficiently complete to permit a
`
`substantive review.” 21 C.F.R. § 314.95(b).
`
`LITIGATION BACKGROUND
`
`26. Watson Laboratories, Inc. (“Watson”) filed Abbreviated New Drug Application
`
`(“ANDA”) No. 204383 with FDA seeking approval to market a generic version of the 2 mg/0.5

`mg; 4 mg/1 mg; and 8 mg/2 mg dosage strengths of Plaintiffs’ Suboxone sublingual film prior to
`
`the expiration of the ’150, ’832, and ’514 Patents.
`
`27. Watson Laboratories, Inc. is now known as Actavis Laboratories UT, Inc.
`
`28.
`
`Plaintiffs received a notice of Paragraph IV certification from Watson, dated
`
`August 27, 2013, stating that ANDA No. 204383 contains a Paragraph IV certification pursuant
`
`to 21 U.S.C. § 355(j)(2)(A)(vii)(IV) alleging that the ʼ832 and ʼ150 Patents are invalid,
`
`unenforceable, and/or will not be infringed by the manufacture, use, or sale of the generic
`
`product proposed in the ANDA.

`
`29.
`
`On October 8, 2013, within 45 days of receiving the August 27, 2013 Notice
`
`Letter, Plaintiffs filed a Complaint against Watson Laboratories, Inc. and Actavis, Inc. for
`
`infringement of the ’832 and ’150 Patents, based on the filing of ANDA No. 204383. SeeC.A.
`
`1:13-cv-01674-RGA, D.I. 1 (D. Del.). The Complaint did not mention any specific strength of
`
`Watson’s proposed generic version of Suboxone sublingual film.
`
`30.
`
`Plaintiffs received a second notice of Paragraph IV certification from Watson,
`
`dated February 4, 2014, stating that ANDA No. 204383 contains a Paragraph IV certification
`
`pursuant to 21 U.S.C. § 355(j)(2)(A)(vii)(IV) alleging that the ʼ514 Patent is invalid,
`
`unenforceable, and/or will not be infringed by the manufacture, use, or sale of the generic
`
`product proposed in the ANDA.
`
`31.
`
`Plaintiffs filed a First Amended Complaint against Watson on February 18, 2014
`
`for infringement of the ’832, ’150, and ’514 Patents, based on the filing of ANDA No. 204383
`
`and the August 27, 2013 and February 4, 3014 Notice Letters. SeeC.A. 1:13-cv-01674-RGA,
`
`D.I. 43 (D. Del.). The Complaint did not mention any specific strength of Watson’s proposed
`
`generic version of Suboxone sublingual film.
`
`32.
`
`Plaintiffs received a third notice of Paragraph IV certification from Actavis, dated
`
`April 22, 2015, stating that Actavis had filed a new ANDA, ANDA No. 207087, directed to a
`
`generic version of the 12 mg/3 mg strength of Suboxone sublingual film, and stating that Actavis
`
`had filed a new ANDA, ANDA No. 207087, and that ANDA No. 207087 contains a Paragraph
`
`IV certification pursuant to 21 U.S.C. § 355(j)(2)(A)(vii)(IV) alleging that the ʼ832, ʼ150, and
`
`’514 Patents are invalid, unenforceable, and/or will not be infringed by the manufacture, use, or
`
`sale of the generic product proposed in the ANDA.

`

`Case 1:16-cv-01009-RGA Document 1 Filed 10/31/16 Page 8 of 15 PageID #: 8
`
`33.
`
`On June 4, 2015, Plaintiffs filed a Second Amended Complaint against Watson
`
`and Actavis for infringement of the ’832, ’150, and ’514 Patents, based on the filing of ANDA
`
`Nos. 204383 and 207087, and the August 27, 2013; February 4, 2014; and April 22, 2015 Notice
`
`Letters. SeeC.A. 1:13-cv-01674-RGA, D.I. 287 (D. Del.). The Complaint did not mention any
`
`specific strength of Watson’s proposed generic version of Suboxone sublingual film.
`
`34.
`
`During fact and expert discovery in C.A. 1:13-cv-01674-RGA (D. Del.), the
`
`parties addressed all strengths of Watson’s proposed generic version of Suboxone sublingual
`
`film, including the 4 mg/1 mg dosage strength.
`
`35. Watson, Actavis, and Plaintiffs went
`
`to trial
`
`in C.A. 1:13-cv-01674-RGA
`
`regarding ANDA Nos. 204383 and 207087 in November and December of 2015. At trial, all
`
`parties addressed all strengths of Watson’s proposed generic version of Suboxone sublingual
`
`film, including the 4 mg /1 mg dosage strength.
`
`36.
`
`At no time did Watson take the position that the 4 mg/1 mg dosage strength was
`
`not properly part of the trial of C.A. 1:13-cv-01674-RGA.
`
`37.
`
`On June 3, 2016, the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware issued a
`
`Trial Opinion in which it found, among other things, that the asserted claims of the ’514 Patent
`
`are valid and infringed by all strengths of Watson’s proposed generic version of Suboxone
`
`sublingual film. SeeC.A. 1:13-cv-01674-RGA (D. Del.), D.I. 446.
`
`38.
`
`On June 28, 2016, the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware issued a
`
`judgment providing, interalia:
`
`ORDERED AND ADJUDGED, for the reasons set forth in the Court’s Trial
`Opinion dated June 3, 2016 (D.I. 446 in C.A. No. 13-1674), that Final Judgment
`is hereby entered in favor of Plaintiffs and against Watson, that asserted claims
`62, 64, 65, 69, and 73 of the ’514 patent were not shown to be invalid;

`8
`
`

`

`Case 1:16-cv-01009-RGA Document 1 Filed 10/31/16 Page 9 of 15 PageID #: 9
`
`ORDERED AND ADJUDGED, for the reasons set forth in the Court's Trial
`Opinion dated June 3, 2016 (D.I. 446 in C.A. No. 13-1674), that Final Judgment
`is hereby entered in favor of Plaintiffs and against Watson, that Watson’s ANDA
`products that are the subject of ANDA Nos. 204383 and 207087, in 2 mg/0.5 mg,
`4 mg/1 mg, 8 mg/2 mg, and 12 mg/3 mg dosage strengths, infringe asserted
`claims 62, 64, 65, 69, and 73 of the ’514 patent;
`
`. . . .
`
`ORDERED that, pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 27I(e)(4)(A), the Food and Drug
`Administration (“FDA”) shall not make the effective date of any final approval of
`Watson’s ANDA Nos. 204383 and 207087 earlier than the date of expiration of
`the ’514 patent[.]
`
`See C.A. 1:13-cv-01674-RGA (D. Del.), D.I. 453. These judgments are not yet final and non-
`
`appealable.
`
`39.
`
`On December 31, 2014, Plaintiffs also filed a declaratory judgment action against
`
`Watson, alleging infringement of U.S. Patent No. 8,900,497 (the “’497 Patent”) based on ANDA
`
`No. 204383. The ’497 Patent relates to processes of making film compositions, and is not listed
`
`in the Orange Book. SeeC.A. No. 1:14-cv-1574-RGA (D. Del.), D.I. 1.
`
`40.
`
`On July 4, 2015, Plaintiffs amended their declaratory judgment complaint to also
`
`reference ANDA No. 207807. SeeC.A. No. 1:14-cv-1574-RGA (D. Del.), D.I. 34.
`
`41.
`
`42.
`
`Trial on the ’497 Patent is set for November 2016.
`
`On September 16, 2016, Plaintiffs received a Notice Letter from Actavis
`
`regarding ANDA No. 204383, and specifically addressing the 4 mg/1 mg dosage strength of
`
`Actavis’ proposed generic version of Suboxone sublingual film. The September 16, 2016 Notice
`
`Letter contains a certification pursuant to 21 U.S.C. § 355(j)(2)(A)(vii)(IV) (a “Paragraph IV
`
`certification”) alleging that the ’150, ’832, and ’514 Patents are invalid, unenforceable, and/or
`
`will not be infringed by the manufacture, use, or sale of the 4 mg/1 mg dosage strength of
`
`Actavis’ proposed version of Suboxone sublingual film.

`
`43.
`
`The Notification Letter further states that Actavis submitted ANDA No. 204383
`
`to the FDA under 21 U.S.C. § 355(j), seeking approval to engage in commercial manufacture,
`
`use, and/or sale of the 4 mg/1 mg dosage strength of a buprenorphine hydrochloride and
`
`naloxone hydrochloride sublingual film before expiration of the Patents-in-Suit. On information
`
`and belief, ANDA No. 204383 refers to and relies on Plaintiff Indivior’s NDA for Suboxone
`
`sublingual film and purports to contain data showing bioequivalence of Defendant’s generic
`
`product with Suboxone sublingual film.
`
`44.
`
`On October 12, 2016, Plaintiffs received yet another Notice Letter from Actavis
`
`regarding ANDA No. 204383, and specifically addressing the 4 mg/1 mg dosage strength of
`
`Actavis’ proposed generic version of Suboxone sublingual film. This letter was substantially
`
`identical to the September 16, 2016, except it added Indivior UK (the owner of the ’832 Patent),
`
`and corrected some typographical errors.
`
`45.
`
`Plaintiffs commenced this action within 45 days of receiving the September 16,
`
`2016 Notification Letter.
