`C.A. No. 18-924-CFC
`
`STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER REGARDING JUDGMENT OF
`NON-INFRINGEMENT OF U.S. PATENT NOS. 8,512,983 AND 9,714,293
`
`WHEREAS, Plaintiff Genentech, Inc. (“Genentech”) has asserted a claim of patent
`
`infringement against Defendant Amgen Inc. (“Amgen”) of claims 2 and 19 of U.S. Patent No.
`
`8,512,983 (“the ’983 patent”) and of claims 72 and 73 of U.S. Patent No. 9,714,293 (“the ’293
`
`patent”) (collectively, “the Asserted Claims”);
`
`WHEREAS, in its Memorandum Opinion of June 14, 2019, D.I. 255, and accompanying
`
`Order, D.I. 256, the Court construed certain disputed terms in the Asserted Claims of the ’983
`
`and ’293 patents;
`
`WHEREAS, the Court rejected Genentech’s construction of the term “a glutamine-free
`
`production culture medium” to mean “a production culture medium that is essentially free of
`
`glutamine,” and instead determined that the term should be construed as “a culture medium used
`
`in the production phase that is not formulated or supplemented with glutamine;” D.I. 256 at 20;
`
`and
`
`
`
`ME1 31105129v.1
`
`PUBLIC VERSION FILED: August 8, 2019
`
`
`
`Case 1:18-cv-00924-CFC Document 338 Filed 08/08/19 Page 2 of 4 PageID #: 25943
`
`
`
`WHEREAS, the Court’s construction of “a glutamine-free production culture medium”
`
`materially affects Genentech’s infringement analysis for the asserted claims of the ’983 and ’293
`
`patents;
`
`WHEREAS, Genentech’s position is that Amgen infringes the asserted claims of the ’983
`
`and ’293 patents under Genentech’s construction of “a glutamine-free production culture
`
`medium.” Amgen disagrees with Genentech’s position; and
`
`WHEREAS, based on the evidence produced by Amgen in discovery, Genentech cannot
`
`sustain its burden of proof to establish infringement of the asserted claims of the ’983 and ’293
`
`patents under the Court’s construction of “a glutamine-free production culture medium.”
`
`NOW THEREFORE, Genentech and Amgen hereby stipulate, subject to the approval of
`
`the Court, as follows:
`
`1.
`
`To conserve judicial resources and to avoid the time and expense of further
`
`litigation related to the ’983 and ’293 patents, the parties respectfully request that the Court enter
`
`judgment of non-infringement as to Counts 26 and 28 of Genentech’s Second Amended
`
`Complaint, D.I. 79 in C.A. No. 18-924-CFC, asserting infringement of the ’983 and ’293 patents
`
`by Amgen in connection with Kanjinti.1 Upon entry of final judgment resolving all claims in
`
`this action, Genentech reserves the right to appeal the judgment of non-infringement and the
`
`Court’s claim construction ruling with respect to the phrase “a glutamine-free production culture
`
`medium.”
`
`2.
`
`Amgen accordingly stipulates to the dismissal of Counts 16 and 18 of its
`
`Counterclaims, D.I. 82, for declaratory judgments that the ’983 and ’293 patents are invalid,
`
`
`1 The judgment as to these claims will become final upon entry of judgment as to all remaining
`claims and counterclaims in these actions.

`
`appeal or otherwise in this action.
