`Case 1:18-cv-00924-CFC Document 326 Filed 07/25/19 Page 4 of 16 PageID #: 25714
`
`
`
`The issues raised by these motions are sufficiently important that they should be decided
`
`on the merits. Once Amgen launches, Genentech cannot be put back into the place that it would
`
`have been in had its patent rights been respected. Doing so will not prejudice Amgen;
`
` Genentech therefore
`
`requests a TRO and ultimately a preliminary injunction to maintain the status quo.
`
`Amgen’s opposition confirms that Genentech did not sit on its rights.
`
`
`
`
`
` and, before that, made repeated representations to the
`
`Court that no launch decision had been made. Amgen never informed the Court or Genentech of
`
`its decision to launch and instead actively concealed its plans—for example, by unilaterally
`
`cancelling a key deposition of a launch decisionmaker. Genentech filed these motions as soon as
`
`it obtained market intelligence indicating that Amgen had in fact decided to launch imminently.
`
`, and it has not raised a substantial question of invalidity.
`
`Amgen merely offers attorney argument unsupported by any expert testimony that Genentech’s
`
`patents are invalid as obvious—a position recently rejected under a lower burden of proof after
`
`full IPR trials. The fact that Genentech’s settlements of other lawsuits allowed those defendants
`
`to launch in the future does not diminish the irreparable harm of Amgen launching now. Nor
`
`does disruption to Amgen’s recent efforts to launch at risk support Amgen in the balance of
`
`hardships. And Amgen cannot rely on the non-infringing indications in its product label to argue
`
`that its launch is in the public interest, where Amgen could have but has refused to remove the
`
`infringing indications,
`
`.
`
`I.
`
`GENENTECH’S MOTIONS ARE TIMELY.
`
`Delay in bringing a preliminary injunction motion does not accrue “until the infringer
`
`actually started to (or was about to) commit [the] particular infringing act.” Integra Lifesciences
`
`Corp. v. Hyperbranch Med. Tech., Inc., 2016 WL 4770244, at *9 (D. Del. Aug. 12, 2016). There
`
`1
`
`

`

`Case 1:18-cv-00924-CFC Document 326 Filed 07/25/19 Page 5 of 16 PageID #: 25715
`
`
`
`was no such delay here. Genentech filed its motions within weeks of FDA approval of Kanjinti
`
`and just two days after Amgen’s launch decision—notwithstanding that Amgen made every
`
`effort to conceal its actual launch plans from the Court and Genentech.1
`
`It made no sense for Genentech to seek injunctive relief earlier. Kanjinti was not FDA-
`
`approved until June 13, 2019, and until last week Amgen consistently represented that it had not
`
`decided whether or when to launch. For example, just a few weeks ago, Amgen’s counsel flatly
`
`told the Court that no launch decision had been made:
`
`Part of the problem is we have not made that ultimate decision yet
`because we have not launched yet. We have not launched yet.
`That’s what I’m saying. Those decisions are ongoing.
`
`June 18, 2019 Hr’g Tr. 78:22-25; id. at 31:4-11 (“So it may not be ripe. It’s all future activity.”).
`
`Amgen then reiterated the following week that its launch decision was “something that has not
`
`occurred.” D.I. 266 at 1. On June 26-27, 2019,
`
`—Amgen’s Rule 30(b)(6) witness
`
`on Amgen’s “anticipated launch date”—
`
`testified similarly.
`
`
`
`
`
`. Amgen’s other witnesses
`
`
`
`To be sure, Amgen provided Genentech with discovery indicating that Amgen intended
`
`to be “ready” to launch by July 2019. But Amgen’s counsel made clear at the June 18, 2019
`
`hearing that planning to be ready to launch is very different from a decision to launch:
`
`
`
`
`
`,
`
`
`1 For example, Amgen unilaterally cancelled (for the second time) the June 19, 2019 deposition
`of
`—the decisionmaker to whom Amgen’s opinion letters are addressed—and
`refused to make her available until after Amgen intended to launch. See Ex. 233.
`
`2
`
`

`

`Case 1:18-cv-00924-CFC Document 326 Filed 07/25/19 Page 6 of 16 PageID #: 25716
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`June 18, 2019 Hr’g Tr. 29:10-17. It would have been premature for Genentech to seek injunctive
`
`relief based solely on Amgen’s plans to be “ready” to launch. As Amgen’s counsel explained,
`
`Amgen was making preparations even though its actual launch might occur “two months,” “six
`
`months,” or even “a year” later, mooting such a request. Id. at 30:3-8.
`
`Amgen’s May 15, 2018 notice of commercial marketing did not require filing for a
`
`preliminary injunction notwithstanding the above facts; Amgen was not even FDA-approved
`
`until 13 months later. And until recently,
`
`
`
`
`
`. Genentech cannot be faulted for not seeking a
`
`preliminary injunction while it remained unclear what Amgen was going to do and when.
`
`Amgen suggests that Genentech indicated at the May 16, 2019 discovery hearing that it
`
`would not seek a preliminary injunction. D.I. 285 at 6-7. To the contrary, Genentech has been
`
`clear from the outset of this case that it would seek a preliminary injunction in these
`
`circumstances: “Your Honor, if there’s a launch, we’re going to request a preliminary
`
`injunction.” Oct. 16, 2018 Hr’g Tr. 87:20-21. Nor is Amgen prejudiced because Genentech
`
`previously produced its trastuzumab settlement agreements with the third-party launch dates
`
`redacted.
`
` Genentech provided Mylan’s launch date
`
`when it filed its motions. In view of these motions, Genentech has no objection to providing the
`
`remaining U.S. launch dates and other U.S. terms, and has been seeking consent to do so.
`
`II.
`
`AMGEN FAILS TO REBUT GENENTECH’S LIKELIHOOD OF SUCCESS.
`
`Having conceded infringement, Amgen’s sole rebuttal to Genentech’s likelihood of
`
`success is the assertion, unsupported by any expert testimony, that the claims of Genentech’s
`
`3
`
`

`

`Case 1:18-cv-00924-CFC Document 326 Filed 07/25/19 Page 7 of 16 PageID #: 25717
`
`
`
`dosing patents would have been obvious. But obviousness has already been fully considered and
`
`rejected in multiple IPRs, and Amgen has offered nothing to warrant a different result here.2
`
`A.
`
`Amgen’s Arguments Have Been Fully Considered and Rejected in IPRs.
`
`After a full trial on the merits, a three-judge panel of the Patent Trial and Appeal Board
`
`expressly rejected the arguments Amgen makes here. For example:
`
`• Amgen argues that “long established modeling tools were available to estimate
`Herceptin dosing at higher levels and longer intervals” (D.I. 285 at 15, 17), but the
`PTAB rejected that argument noting the relative novelty of using antibodies to treat
`cancer and the “inherent uncertainty associated with using mathematical models to
`predict the pharmacokinetic behavior of antibodies.” Amgen Ex. 10 at 23, 33.
`• Amgen argues that a skilled artisan would have relied upon “trivial mathematics” to
`predict that a once-every-three-week dosing regimen would work. D.I. 285 at 17.
`The PTAB rejected that argument, finding that the prior art did not support the
`conclusion that a simple, linear model could be used. Amgen Ex. 10 at 25.
`• Amgen argues that “there was no correlation between shed HER2 antigen levels and
`response to Herceptin treatment.” D.I. 285 at 18. The PTAB rejected that argument
`finding that the prior art “highlight[ed] the uncertainty caused by the presence of shed
`antigens on the pharmacokinetics of trastuzumab.” Amgen Ex. 10 at 26.
`
`In short, Amgen cannot demonstrate a likelihood of success when its arguments have been
`
`conclusively rejected by the PTAB in multiple IPR proceedings. See Oxford Immunotec Ltd. v.
`
`Qiagen, Inc., 271 F. Supp. 3d 358, 366-67 (D. Mass. 2017) (patentee likely to succeed, in
`
`preliminary injunction context, where infringer made invalidity arguments rejected in IPRs).
`
`B.
`
`Amgen Has Not Presented Any New Evidence or Arguments That Negate
`Genentech’s Likelihood of Success on Validity.
`
`1.
`
`Amgen’s arguments are not supported by any expert opinion.
`
`Notably absent from Amgen’s response (as well as the opinion letter upon which it
`
`purports to rely) is any expert declaration. In rendering its decisions, the PTAB considered
`
`
`2 Amgen also has not complied with the Court’s order (D.I. 259) requiring production of
`Amgen’s assessments of the validity of these patents. Amgen cannot raise a substantial question
`as to invalidity while withholding ordered discovery that may undermine that position.
`
`4
`
`

`

`Case 1:18-cv-00924-CFC Document 326 Filed 07/25/19 Page 8 of 16 PageID #: 25718
`
`
`
`declarations from five experts—three oncologists and two pharmacokineticists. These expert
`
`declarations have been publicly available since 2017.
`
`Amgen has nevertheless provided no expert opinion to support its conclusory assertions
`
`of obviousness.3 In a case like this involving a complex technology, expert testimony is critical
`
`to the proof of obviousness. See, e.g., Allergan, Inc. v. Barr Labs., Inc., 501 F. App’x 965, 972
`
`(Fed. Cir. 2013) (“In complex cases where invalidity on the grounds of obviousness is asserted,
`
`‘expert testimony may be critical, for example, to establish the existence of certain features in the
`
`prior art or the existence (or lack thereof) of a motivation to combine references.’”). Genentech
`
`submits an expert declaration from Dr. George Grass with this reply explaining that the
`
`experience and data available to skilled artisans failed to establish a reasonable expectation of
`
`success. See Grass Decl. ¶¶ 53-77. Amgen cannot raise a substantial question of invalidity
`
`based upon attorney argument alone.
`
`2.
`
`Amgen’s “new art” adds nothing to the substantial IPR record.
`
`The Hellman patent Amgen now touts as “new art” was not even mentioned in the
`
`opinion of counsel upon which Amgen now relies, calling into question Amgen’s assertion that it
`
`provides an “independent basis” for obviousness. In any event, the Hellman patent adds nothing
`
`of substance to the substantial prior art record that was already considered by the PTAB.4
`
`The Hellman patent is directed to methods of treating cancer by administering anti-ErbB2
`
`antibodies, including trastuzumab, with chemotherapeutic agents other than anthracycline. The
`
`
`3 Amgen’s invalidity expert reports are currently due just ten days from now. Given the schedule,
`it is telling that Amgen has not provided any expert support for its assertions.
`4 Amgen has not even established that the Hellman patent may be used as prior art to support
`obviousness. In its invalidity contentions, Amgen asserted that the Hellman patent was an
`anticipation reference under 35 U.S.C. § 102(e) because the application was filed before the
`dosing patents. But there is a statutory exception that does not permit the use of such patents as
`obviousness references if they are owned by the same entity. See 35 U.S.C. § 103(c).
`

`
`

`

`Case 1:18-cv-00924-CFC Document 326 Filed 07/25/19 Page 9 of 16 PageID #: 25719
`
`
`
`patent describes a clinical study in which trastuzumab was administered weekly with
`
`chemotherapy. Amgen Ex. 36, 4:7-14, 30:61-31:32. It does not contain any discussion
`
`whatsoever of extended dosing intervals or any pharmacokinetic data. Id. Moreover, the “range”
`
`of doses covered in Hellman includes an initial dose of 1 µg/kg to 15 mg/kg and daily doses of 1
`
`µg/kg to 100 mg/kg or more; it does not disclose or suggest the claimed 8 mg/kg loading dose or
`
`6 mg/kg maintenance dose. Id. at 28:24-30; Grass Decl. ¶ 25.
`
`Hellman is thus just one more reference describing weekly dosing of trastuzumab and, if
`
`anything, contains less relevant information than the references already considered in the IPRs.
`
`Grass Decl. ¶¶ 9, 25. As in the IPRs, Amgen has “not pointed to any prior art reference
`
`discussing the feasibility or viability of a tri-weekly antibody dosing regimen.” Amgen Ex. 10 at
`
`23.
`
`3.
`
`Amgen’s reliance on testimony of inventors, Genentech employees,
`and consultants misses the mark.
`
`Amgen seeks to support its obviousness theory by cobbling together snippets of
`
`deposition testimony from the named inventors and other researchers who were employed by or
`
`working with Genentech. The problem with this approach is that the inventors and others with
`
`access to Genentech’s confidential information are not proxies for skilled artisans: these
`
`individuals have insights that an ordinarily skilled artisan would not. “‘The inventor’s own path
`
`itself never leads to a conclusion of obviousness; that is hindsight. What matters is the path that
`
`the person of ordinary skill in the art would have followed, as evidenced by the pertinent prior
`
`art.’” Millennium Pharm., Inc. v. Sandoz Inc., 862 F.3d 1356, 1367 (Fed. Cir. 2017).
`
`Amgen’s reliance upon specific pharmacokinetic modeling done by the named inventors
`
`and other researchers working with Genentech (D.I. 285 at 14-15, 17-18) is thus irrelevant to the
`
`obviousness inquiry. The inventors and Genentech consultants like Dr. Norton had vastly more
`
`6
`
`

`

`Case 1:18-cv-00924-CFC Document 326 Filed 07/25/19 Page 10 of 16 PageID #: 25720
`
`
`
`data and information about the pharmacokinetics of trastuzumab than was available in the prior
`
`art.
`
`
`
`
`
` Her testimony about modeling done
`
`with the benefit of this non-public data is not relevant to the modeling a skilled artisan could
`
`have done based on the limited information that was in the prior art. Grass Decl. ¶¶ 14, 61-70.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
` Similarly, while Amgen highlights Dr. Norton’s recollection that
`
`he modeled the three-week dosing regimen on a scrap of paper, it fails to note that following the
`
`Phase III trials Dr. Norton did not seek to administer trastuzumab every three weeks to match
`
`three-week chemotherapy administration but instead chose to study weekly trastuzumab with
`
`weekly paclitaxel. Ex. 240 at 136:15-137:24.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
` Ex. 238 at 66:12-23, 88:1-24; Ex. 239 at 87:18-89:19.
`
`III. AMGEN’S INFRINGEMENT WILL IRREPARABLY HARM GENENTECH.
`
`Amgen does not dispute that its launch of Kanjinti will cause Genentech to suffer price
`
`erosion and lost market share, or that such injuries are irreparable. Instead, Amgen insists that
`
`7
`
`

`

`Case 1:18-cv-00924-CFC Document 326 Filed 07/25/19 Page 11 of 16 PageID #: 25721
`
`
`
`those injuries should be ignored because Genentech has licensed other trastuzumab biosimilars.
`
`But “the fact that a patentee has licensed others under its patents does not mean that unlicensed
`
`infringement must be permitted while the patents are litigated.” Abbott Labs. v. Sandoz, Inc.,
`
`544 F.3d 1341, 1362 (Fed. Cir. 2008). Indeed, that would have a chilling effect on litigation
`
`settlements; under Amgen’s view, a patentee could never settle litigation by permitting licensed
`
`entry without effectively allowing entry to anyone else who chooses to launch at risk. Moreover,
`
`as Genentech has explained (D.I. 275 at 12)—and Amgen does not dispute in its opposition—
`
`Amgen is in a unique position to cause harms to Genentech, including harms of a type (price
`
`erosion and lost market share) that Amgen does not dispute are irreparable. Genentech’s
`
`settlements of other lawsuits does not demonstrate the lack of such harms.
`
`Amgen argues that Genentech’s injuries are quantifiable because they will be limited in
`
`duration
`
`. But Amgen does not contest
`
`Genentech’s expert testimony showing that its injuries will neither be quantifiable nor end when
`
`other parties launch. Jena Decl. ¶¶ 99-101. If anything, the harm to Genentech due to Amgen
`
`will be even more difficult to quantify after other biosimilars have launched. Id. ¶¶ 70-72.
`
`Amgen’s suggestion that
`
`
`
`
`
`. As a threshold matter, Amgen’s assertion makes no
`
`sense—business planning around potential biosimilar competition does not eliminate the effects
`
`of such competition. And regardless, Amgen misstates the nature of Genentech’s planning;
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`8
`
`

`

`Case 1:18-cv-00924-CFC Document 326 Filed 07/25/19 Page 12 of 16 PageID #: 25722
`
`
`
`Ex. 242 at 28:3-9; Ex. 244 at 1.
`
`Amgen points to Ms. Oliger’s deposition testimony that
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Amgen also suggests that Genentech will not suffer a loss of goodwill or reputational
`
`harm from the launch of biosimilar trastuzumab. In doing so, however, Amgen disregards
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Finally, Amgen argues that the effects of its launch on other Genentech products, layoffs,
`
`and R&D spending should be disregarded
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`IV.
`
`THE BALANCE OF HARDSHIPS FAVORS GENENTECH.
`
`Genentech would suffer immediate and irreversible injuries from Amgen’s launch in
`
`violation of Genentech’s patent rights. See D.I. 275 at 10-16. By contrast, Amgen would suffer
`
`9
`
`

`

`Case 1:18-cv-00924-CFC Document 326 Filed 07/25/19 Page 13 of 16 PageID #: 25723
`
`
`
`no hardship from briefly maintaining the status quo to permit a decision on the merits;
`
`
`
`
`
`),
`
`
`
` Amgen also
`
`has not disputed the sufficiency of Genentech’s proposed $10 million bond.
`
`Amgen’s inability to proceed with its infringement is not a harm that supports Amgen’s
`
`position. Sanofi-Synthelabo v. Apotex, Inc., 470 F.3d 1368, 1383 (Fed. Cir. 2006). Indeed, in
`
`cases in this District where Amgen is the patentee, Amgen has argued that an infringer’s injuries
`
`stemming from it taking the “calculated business risk” to launch “weigh[] against the infringer in
`
`the balance of hardships analysis.” Ex. 243 at 16-19 & n.10.
`
`V.
`
`GRANTING INJUNCTIVE RELIEF SERVES THE PUBLIC INTEREST.
`
`Amgen does not dispute that the public interest favors the enforcement of patent rights to
`
`encourage innovation—a position Amgen has repeatedly endorsed in other cases. See D.I. 275 at
`
`18. Nor does Amgen contend that an injunction will adversely affect patient care.
`
`Amgen’s only argument as to the public interest is that an injunction would deprive the
`
`public of access to non-infringing uses of Kanjinti.
`
`
`
`
`
` And if Amgen were
`
`truly concerned with public access to non-infringing uses of Kanjinti, it would have tried to
`
`eliminate the infringing indications from its label—
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`VI. CONCLUSION
`
`Genentech respectfully requests that the Court grant a TRO and ultimately a preliminary
`
`injunction to maintain the status quo.
