`
`DEFENDANT ELI LILLY AND COMPANY’S
`MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE A REPLY MEMORANDUM IN FURTHER SUPPORT
`OF ITS MOTION TO TRANSFER, OR, IF NOT TRANSFERRED, THEN TO
`STAY THIS LITIGATION PENDING INTER PARTES REVIEW
`
`Pursuant to Local Rule 7.1(b)(3), Defendant Eli Lilly and Company (“Lilly”),
`
`respectfully moves for leave to file a reply memorandum not exceeding ten (10) pages in further
`
`support of its Motion To Transfer, Or, If Not Transferred, Then To Stay This Litigation Pending
`
`Inter Partes Review [Dkt 18]. Lilly will be prepared to file such a reply within ten (10) days of
`
`any order by this Court granting leave.
`
`In their opposition brief [Dkt 26], Plaintiffs raise for the first time various facts and new
`
`contentions regarding the purported relevance of Arteaus Therapeutics, LLC, including citing
`
`seven new documents. A reply brief is necessary in order to correct inaccuracies raised in
`
`Plaintiffs’ opposition brief and to properly address Plaintiffs’ characterization of the cited case
`
`law and arguments not discussed in Lilly’s opening brief.
`
`Therefore, Lilly respectfully requests that the Court enter an order granting leave to file a
`
`ten (10) page reply to the opposition within ten (10) days of such an order.
