`
`THE CLAIMED ADENOSINE TECHNOLOGY
`
`9. Adenosine is a naturally occurring purine nucleoside that plays an important role
`
`in a variety of biochemical processes. It is used by physicians in therapeutic and diagnostic
`
`cardiac applications, for example, to treat arrthymias or during cardiac stress tests.

`

`

`Case 1:17-cv-00868-UNA Document 1 Filed 06/30/17 Page 3 of 14 PageID #: 3
`
`
`
`10. Dr. James G. Dobson, Jr., a renowned cardiovascular physiologist and the former
`
`Chairman of the Department of Physiology at the University of Massachusetts Medical School,
`
`has been conducting research on adenosine since approximately the mid 1960’s. Dr. Dobson
`
`and his colleague, Dr. Michael Ethier, discovered that topical application of adenosine can be
`
`used to enhance the condition of the skin by applying adenosine to the dermal cells in specified
`
`concentrations without increasing dermal cell proliferation.
`
`11. Their discoveries are embodied in U.S. Patent Nos. 6,423,327 (the “’327 patent”)
`
`and 6,645,513 (the “’513 patent”) (collectively, the “patents-in-suit”).
`
`12. Claim 1 of the ’327 patent recites, for example: “A method for enhancing the
`
`condition of unbroken skin of a mammal by reducing one or more of wrinkling, roughness,
`
`dryness, or laxity of the skin, without increasing dermal cell proliferation, the method comprising
`
`topically applying to the skin a composition comprising a concentration of adenosine in an
`
`amount effective to enhance the condition of the skin without increasing dermal cell
`
`proliferation, wherein the adenosine concentration applied to the dermal cells is 10−4 M to 10−7
`
`M.” Claim 1 of the ’513 patent reads identically, but provides that “the adenosine concentration
`
`applied to the dermal cells is 10−3 M to 10−7 M.”
`
`13. Other dependent claims of both patents add more limitations. For example,
`
`dependent claims 9 of both the ’327 and ’513 patents provide additional limitations, stating that
`
`“[t]he method of claim 1, wherein the composition further comprises a transdermal agent.”
`
`PLAINTIFFS’ EASEAMINE PRODUCTS
`
`14. Teresian Carmelites is a non-profit Christian monastery dedicated to prayer,
`
`contemplation, and service to the poor and marginalized. The members of Teresian Carmelites
`
`fulfill their mission through charitable works such as rehabilitation programs for the incarcerated
`
`3
`
`

`

`Case 1:17-cv-00868-UNA Document 1 Filed 06/30/17 Page 4 of 14 PageID #: 4
`
`
`
`or persons with alcohol or drug addictions, inner city educational programs, and other programs
`
`to benefit the disadvantaged in their surrounding community.
`
`15. Through Dr. Dobson’s long-standing relationship with the religious order,
`
`Teresian Carmelites became aware of the technology covered by the patents-in-suit. Teresian
`
`Carmelites negotiated a license and founded Carmel Labs, a for-profit subsidiary. Carmel Labs
`
`has been the exclusive licensee of the patents-in-suit for all cosmetic applications since 2008.
`
`Profits realized by Carmel Labs sustain Teresian Carmelites’ financial needs, and fund its
`
`charitable programs.
`
`16. Carmel Labs developed “Easeamine,” a high-end anti-aging face cream using the
`
`patented adenosine technology. Easeamine was initially released in 2009 and, due to its
`
`innovative and unique properties, received favorable press in newspapers around the world,
`
`leading to significant sales in its first year.
`
`17. Based on the strength of initial sales, Carmel Labs reinvested substantial sums—
`
`obtained in part by leveraging property owned by the monastery—to expand the Easeamine line.
`
`Carmel Labs retained experienced cosmetic industry professionals as well as a contract
`
`manufacturer and a branding and public relations firm to assist in creating and marketing a full
`
`Easeamine product line, with an anticipated release date in fall of 2010.
`
`
`
`DEFENDANTS’ USE OF PLAINTIFFS’ PATENTED TECHNOLOGY
`
`18. Defendants comprise one of the world’s largest cosmetic companies. Defendants
`
`manufacture and sell products such as hair care, skin care, make-up and perfume all over the
`
`world.
`
`19. Defendants have been aware of Plaintiffs’ adenosine technology and the patents-
`
`in-suit since at least 2002.
`

`
`

`

`Case 1:17-cv-00868-UNA Document 1 Filed 06/30/17 Page 5 of 14 PageID #: 5
`
`
`
`20. For example, in U.S. Patent Application No. 10/701,495 (“Method for Softening
`
`Lines and Relaxing the Skin with Adenosine and Adenosine Analogues”), filed by L’Oréal on
`
`November 6, 2003, and as a provisional application on December 12, 2002, L’Oréal stated that “it
`
`has been suggested, in U.S. Pat. No. 6,423,327 [i.e., the ’327 patent] and US-2003/044439 [i.e.,
`
`the application that issued the ’513 patent], that adenosine or an analogue of adenosine can be
`
`used in a composition that is topically applied to the skin to improve skin condition.” See Exhibit
`
`3 at 2 (attached).
`
`21. L’Oréal later abandoned U.S. Patent Application No. 10/701,495 after it was
`
`rejected for, among other reasons, being obvious over the ’327 patent. See Exhibit 4 at 4
`
`(attached).
`
`22. L’Oréal has also cited the patents-in-suit in its own issued patents numerous
`
`times. For example, L’Oréal cited the ’327 and ’513 patents in its U.S. Patents Nos. 9,018,177,
`
`9,023,826, 9,072,919, and 9,107,853. See Exhibits 7, 8, 9, and 10 (attached).
`
`23. In fall of 2003, an agent of both Defendants contacted Dr. Dobson to discuss the
`
`patents-in-suit. Defendants, however, did not obtain a license to the patents-in-suit.
`
`24. Nonetheless, after speaking to Dr. Dobson, and with full knowledge of the
`
`technology exclusively licensed to Carmel Labs, Defendants began creating, marketing, and
`
`selling cosmetic products using the patented adenosine technology.
`
`25. On October 15, 2010, two weeks before the launch of Plaintiffs’ expanded
`
`Easeamine product line, Defendants publicly announced their new Youth Code line of anti-aging
`
`skin care, promoting its use of “adenosine, a molecule that is found in skin cells that acts at the
`
`dermis level to produce collagen.” See Exhibit 5 (attached).
`
`26. Defendants tout the benefits of adenosine on their brand’s website as well, stating:
`
`5
`
`

`

`Case 1:17-cv-00868-UNA Document 1 Filed 06/30/17 Page 6 of 14 PageID #: 6
`
`
`
`Adenosine is the nucleoside that is most commonly associated with
`the body’s energy-transferring processes. It is present in adenosine
`triphosphate (ATP), an essential biological and chemical signaling
`molecule. Due to its high-biological profile, adenosine uses in
`skincare have grabbed the attention of cosmetic companies. As a
`result, studies have shown the use of adenosine for skin can be an
`effective method for providing anti-aging benefits. When applied
`topically, adenosine-containing products showed significant
`improvements in the visible signs of aging as well as improving
`skin smoothness. For this reason, adenosine can most commonly
`be found in moisturizing skincare products such as creams or
`serums. See Exhibit 6 at 5 (attached).
`
`27. Defendants cite a 2006 article entitled “Evaluation of anti-wrinkle efficacy of
`
`adenosine-containing products using the FOITS technique,” to support that proposition on their
`
`website, although the article significantly post-dates the patents-in-suit. See id.
`
`28. Carmel Labs launched the expanded and enlarged Easeamine line on November 1,
`
`2010. Due to public focus on Defendants’ adenosine products, projected sales of Easeamine did
`
`not materialize, resulting in lost revenue to Carmel Labs, and ultimately, to Teresian Carmelites.
`
`29. Teresian Carmelites’ plummeting funds left it unable to pay the monastery’s
`
`mortgage, and to lapse payments on obligations it undertook to finance the launch of Easeamine.
`
`Teresian Carmelites was forced to sell off certain properties it owned to prevent foreclosure on
`
`the monastery, and was unable to maintain health insurance for its members. The monastery was
`
`unable to use the projected Easeamine profits to fund its charitable works, including efforts to
`
`benefit the underprivileged through educational and outreach programs.
`
`30. In March 2015, Brother Dennis Wyrzykowski, President of Teresian Carmelites
`
`and Carmel Labs, sent a letter to Jean-Paul Agon, CEO of L’Oréal, stating his belief that
`
`Defendants’ products infringe the patents-in-suit, and affirming that Carmel Labs is the exclusive
`
`licensee of the patents-in-suit.

`

`

`Case 1:17-cv-00868-UNA Document 1 Filed 06/30/17 Page 7 of 14 PageID #: 7
`
`
`
`31. As indicated by product literature including ingredient lists available on
`
`Defendants’ brand’s websites, a vast array of topical skincare products manufactured and sold by
`
`Defendants use the adenosine technology exclusively licensed to Carmel Labs (the “Accused
`
`Adenosine Products”). On information and belief, Defendants’ Accused Adenosine Products
`
`include, but are not limited to, the following brands with products containing adenosine:
`
`Biotherm; The Body Shop; Carita; Decleor; Garnier; Giorgio Armani; Helena Rubinstein; IT
`
`Cosmetics; Kiehl’s; L’Oréal Paris; La Roche-Posay; Lancôme; Maybelline; Roger&Gallet;
`
`Sanoflore; Shu Uemura; Vichy; and Yves Saint Laurent.
`
`32. On information and belief, Defendants both create and design the Accused
`
`Adenosine Products.
`
`33. On information and belief, L’Oréal USA manufactures, markets, and sells the
`
`Accused Adenosine Products across the United States, including in Delaware. L’Oréal USA’s
`
`activities are controlled by its parent, L’Oréal.
`
`34. On information and belief, Defendants direct their customers to apply the
`
`Accused Adenosine Products topically, intending the Accused Adenosine Products to enhance
`
`their customers’ skin condition using the methods claimed in the patents-in-suit. The Accused
`
`Adenosine Products include, for example, L’Oréal Paris’ RevitaLift Triple Power Deep-Acting
`
`Moisturizer, which Defendants instruct their customers to “Every morning and evening, smooth
`
`over the face, neck and jawline until thoroughly absorbed[,] see Exhibit 11 (attached), stating,
`
`“L’Oréal Paris RevitaLift presents the next generation of skincare, RevitaLift Triple Power
`
`Deep-Acting Moisturizer. This powerful, luxurious moisturizer goes beyond a simple anti-aging
`
`cream to address 3 dimensions that visibly age skin: 1. Repair Wrinkles. 2. Refirm Contours. 3.

`
`COUNT I
`
`INFRINGEMENT OF U.S. PATENT NO. 6,423,327
`
`35. Plaintiffs incorporate by reference Paragraphs 1 through 34 above.
`
`36. On July 23, 2002, the ’327 patent was duly and legally issued for an invention
`
`entitled “Treatment of Skin with Adenosine or Adenosine Analog.” UMass is the assignee of the
`
`’327 patent and Carmel Labs is the exclusive licensee. Together, they hold all rights and interest
`
`in the ’327 patent.
`
`37. As discussed above, Defendants have infringed and continue to infringe at least
`
`claims 1 and 9 of the ’327 patent in violation of 35 U.S.C. § 271, directly and/or indirectly by at
`
`least making, using, selling, and/or offering to sell the Accused Adenosine Products within the
`
`United States, and/or by contributing to or inducing infringement by others with the intent to
`
`cause infringement of the ’327 patent.
`
`38. On information and belief, use of one or more of the Accused Adenosine Products
`
`constitutes direct infringement of claim 1 of the ’327 patent, as such use involves “[a] method for
`
`enhancing the condition of unbroken skin of a mammal by reducing one or more of wrinkling,
`
`roughness, dryness, or laxity of the skin, without increasing dermal cell proliferation, the method
`
`comprising topically applying to the skin a composition comprising a concentration of adenosine
`
`in an amount effective to enhance the condition of the skin without increasing dermal cell
`
`proliferation, wherein the adenosine concentration applied to the dermal cells is 10−4 M to 10−7.”

`Case 1:17-cv-00868-UNA Document 1 Filed 06/30/17 Page 9 of 14 PageID #: 9
`
`
`
`39. On information and belief, use of one or more of the Accused Adenosine Products
`
`constitutes direct infringement of claim 9 of the ’327 patent, as such use includes a “composition
`
`[that] further comprises a transdermal agent.”
`
`40. Where acts constituting direct infringement of the ’327 patent are not performed
`
`by Defendants, such acts constituting direct infringement of the ’327 patent are performed by
`
`Defendants’ customers or end-users who act at the direction and/or control of Defendants, with
`
`Defendants’ knowledge.
`
`41. By as early as 2002 and at least as of the filing or service of this Complaint,
`
`Defendants had actual knowledge of the ’327 patent.
`
`42. On information and belief, Defendants indirectly infringe one or more claims of
`
`the ’327 patent by active inducement in violation of 35 U.S.C. § 271(b), by making, selling
`
`and/or offering to sell the Accused Adenosine Products to their customers with the knowledge
`
`and intent that use of the Accused Adenosine Products would constitute direct infringement of
`
`the ’327 patent by Defendants’ customers.
`
`43. On information and belief, Defendants also indirectly infringe one or more claims
`
`of the ’327 patent by contributory infringement in violation of 35 U.S.C. § 271(c). The Accused
`
`Adenosine Products were designed by Defendants and with Defendants’ knowledge in a manner
`
`that would infringe the ’327 patent. Moreover, the Accused Adenosine Products have no known
`
`substantial non-infringing use, and the infringing use of the Accused Adenosine Products is a
`
`material and substantial part of the invention claimed by the ’327 patent.
`
`44. Defendants’ acts of infringement have caused monetarily damage and irreparable
`
`harm to Plaintiffs, and Plaintiffs are entitled to recover from Defendants the damages sustained
`
`by Plaintiffs as a result of Defendants’ wrongful acts in an amount subject to proof at trial.

`

`Case 1:17-cv-00868-UNA Document 1 Filed 06/30/17 Page 12 of 14 PageID #: 12
`
`
`
`56. Defendants’ infringement of any or all of the above-named patents is willful and
`
`deliberate, entitling Plaintiffs to increased damages under 35 U.S.C. § 284 and to attorney’s fees
`
`and costs incurred in prosecuting this action pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 285.
`
`57. After speaking to Dr. Dobson about the patents-in-suit, and after abandoning
`
`L’Oréal’s own patent application as rendered obvious by the patents-in-suit, Defendants
`
`nonetheless launched their own infringing product lines, including the Accused Adenosine
`
`Products.
`
`58. Defendants have infringed and continue to infringe the patents-in-suit despite the
`
`objectively high likelihood that their actions constitute patent infringement.
`
