`
`
`
`
`Plaintiff Jazz Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ((cid:147)Jazz(cid:148)) and Defendant Amneal Pharmaceuticals,
`
`LLC ((cid:147)Amneal(cid:148)) hereby submit their Joint Claim Construction and Prehearing Statement in
`
`accordance with Local Patent Rule 4.3.
`
`I.
`
`
`
`BACKGROUND
`
`This case arises out of Amneal(cid:146)s filing of ANDA No. 203631 with the U.S. Food and
`
`Drug Administration ((cid:147)FDA(cid:148)), which seeks approval to market a generic version of Jazz(cid:146)s
`
`XYREMfi product. The active ingredient in XYREMfi is sodium oxybate. Jazz alleges, among
`
`other things, that Amneal(cid:146)s submission of ANDA No. 203631 to the FDA constitutes
`
`infringement of certain claims of United States Patent Nos. 6,472,431 ((cid:147)the (cid:145)431 patent(cid:148)),
`
`6,780,889 ((cid:147)the (cid:145)889 patent(cid:148)), 7,262,219 ((cid:147)the (cid:145)219 patent(cid:148)), 7,851,506 ((cid:147)the (cid:145)506 patent(cid:148)),
`
`8,263,650 ((cid:147)the (cid:145)650 patent(cid:148)), 8,324,275 ((cid:147)the (cid:145)275 patent(cid:148)), and 8,461,203 ((cid:147)the (cid:145)203 patent(cid:148))
`
`(collectively, (cid:147)the (cid:145)431 patent family(cid:148)), and 7,895,059 ((cid:147)the (cid:145)059 patent(cid:148)), and 8,457,988 ((cid:147)the
`
`(cid:145)988 patent(cid:148)) (collectively, (cid:147)the (cid:145)059 patent family(cid:148)) owned by Jazz (collectively, (cid:147)the patents-
`
`in-suit(cid:148)) under 35 U.S.C. §271(e)(2). Amneal alleges, among other things, that the asserted
`
`claims are invalid and not infringed.
`
`
`
`Pursuant to Local Patent Rules 4.2(a)-(b), on February 14, 2014, the parties exchanged
`
`preliminary claim constructions and identified intrinsic as well as extrinsic evidence in support
`
`of their proposed preliminary constructions. Pursuant to Local Patent Rule 4.2(c), on February
`
`28, 2014, the parties exchanged intrinsic and extrinsic evidence opposing the other party’s
`
`proposed construction. Pursuant to Local Patent Rule 4.2(d), on March 6, 2014, counsel for the
`
`parties met and conferred for the purposes of narrowing the issues and preparation of the Joint
`
`Claim Construction and Prehearing Statement.

`
`II.
`
`CONSTRUCTION OF PATENT TERMS
`
`A.
`
`Agreed Upon Claim Constructions
`
`Pursuant to Local Patent Rule 4.3(a), the parties identify the following claim terms and
`
`constructions upon which Plaintiff and Amneal agree:
`
`Claim Term, Phrase, Clause
`"chemically stable"
`(’431 patent claims 1-7; ’889 patent claim 1;
`’219 patent claims 1-4; ’650 patent claims 1-18;
`’203 patent claims 1-18)
`"first container means"
`(’650 patent claims 17, 18)
`"second container means"
`(’650 patent claims 17, 18)
`"delivery vehicles"
`(’650 patent claims 17, 18)
`
`"another pharmacy"
`(’059 patent claims 7, 8, 10, 11, 15, 16;
`’988 patent claims 3, 11)
`
`
`B.
`
`Disputed Claim Terms
`
`Agreed Construction
`Resistant to degradation of GHB into its
`known or unknown decomposition elements.
`
`A container distinct from a second and third
`container.
`A container distinct from a first and third
`container.
`An instrument for assisting with the
`administration of the sodium
`gammahydroxybutyrate composition to a
`patient.
`A pharmacy different than the exclusive central
`pharmacy.1
`
`Pursuant to Local Patent Rule 4.3(b), attached hereto as Exhibit A is a series of claim
`
`charts identifying the claim terms and phrases in dispute and the parties(cid:146) proposed constructions.
`
`Additionally, attached hereto as Exhibit B is a series of claim charts providing the evidence,
`
`including intrinsic and extrinsic evidence, that each party intends to rely upon either to support
`
`its proposed construction or to oppose the other party(cid:146)s proposed construction.
`
`
`1 The parties dispute the construction of "exclusive central pharmacy" but agree on the
`construction of "another."

`
`
`C.
`
`Claim Terms Whose Construction Will Be Most Significant
`
`Pursuant to Local Patent Rule 4.3(c), the parties were unable to agree as to which terms
`
`(cid:147)whose construction will be most significant to the resolution of the case.(cid:148) Likewise, the parties
`
`were unable to agree as to which terms (cid:147)whose construction will be case or claim dispositive or
`
`substantially conducive to promoting settlement.(cid:148)
`
`1.
`
`By Jazz:
`
`None of the claims terms identified by Amneal below will likely be dispositive to the
`
`outcome of this case.
`
`Jazz agrees the Court(cid:146)s ruling regarding the claim term (cid:147)exclusive(cid:148) from the matter Jazz
`
`Pharmaceuticals, Inc. v. Roxane Laboratories, Inc., Civ. No. 10-6108 (D.N.J.) (ES)(MAH) ((cid:147)the
`
`Roxane matter(cid:148)) should apply to this case. Jazz reserves its right, however, to appeal the Court(cid:146)s
`
`construction of the claim term (cid:147)exclusive(cid:148) in both this matter and in the Roxane matter.
`
`Jazz disagrees with Amneal(cid:146)s contention that the claim term (cid:147)third container means(cid:148)
`
`should be subject to (cid:147)means-plus-function(cid:148) requirements of 35 U.S.C. § 112, ¶ 6. This claim
`
`term does not contain the language associated with means-plus-function claims and the Patent
`
`Office did not interpret this claim term as being subject to § 112, ¶ 6. Jazz further disagrees with
`
`Roxane(cid:146)s contention that this claim term is indefinite.2
`
`2.
`
`By Amneal:
`
`Local Patent Rule 4.3(c) requires the Parties to identify whether any disputed terms will
`
`be significant to the resolution of the case, case or claim dispositive, and/or substantially
`
`
`2 Jazz also disagrees with Amneal(cid:146)s assertion that the claim term (cid:147)wherein the one or
`more container means are selected from the group consisting of a drinking cup, a dosing cup, a
`syringe, a pipette, a vial, an ampule, a test tube, a flask, a bottle, and a pouch syringe(cid:148) does not
`require construction. Amneal fails to identify why its proposed non-construction of this term
`will be significant to the resolution of this case.
`
`
`

`
`

`

`Case 2:13-cv-00391-ES-JAD Document 49 Filed 03/17/14 Page 5 of 17 PageID: 618
`
`
`conducive to promoting settlement. Despite the Parties’ best efforts to reach agreement on all
`
`terms, there are still four claim construction issues in dispute.
`
`Three of the claim terms in dispute may be dispositive of Plaintiff’s allegation that
`
`Amneal infringes one or more claims of one or more patents-in-suit. And one of the disputed
`
`terms may be dispositive of one basis for Amneal’s counterclaim of invalidity of claims 17 and
`
`18 of the ’650 patent-in-suit.
`
`First, the claim term "an aqueous composition comprising a first dose(cid:133) and an aqueous
`
`composition comprising a second dose" may be dispositive of Plaintiff’s allegation that Amneal
`
`infringes the claims of the ’506 patent.
`
`Second, "exclusive central pharmacy" may be dispositive of Plaintiff’s allegation that
`
`Amneal infringes the claims of the ’059 and ’988 patents. The parties agree to the construction of
`
`"exclusive" as "single or sole," consistent with the Markman order in Jazz Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
`
`v. Roxane Laboratories, Inc., 2:10-cv-06108-ES-SCM (consolidated) (D.N.J. Nov. 22, 2010),
`
`D.I. 151, at pp. 33-34. However, the remaining "central pharmacy" portion of the claim term
`
`remains in dispute. Also, construction of "exclusive central pharmacy" will aid in the
`
`construction of "another pharmacy."
`
`Lastly, the claim term "third container means" may be dispositive of Amneal’s
`
`counterclaim of invalidity of claims 17 and 18 of the ’650 patent for lacking a corresponding
`
`structure. And Amneal cannot infringe an invalid claim. As detailed in Exhibit A, Amneal
`
`contends that this is a means-plus-function limitation without sufficient disclosure of
`
`corresponding structure in the specification.

`

`Case 2:13-cv-00391-ES-JAD Document 49 Filed 03/17/14 Page 6 of 17 PageID: 619
`
`
`In addition, Amneal contends that the Court need not construe the phrase "wherein the
`
`one or more container means are selected from the group consisting of a drinking cup, a dosing
`
`cup, a syringe, a pipette, a vial, an ampule, a test tube, a flask, a bottle, and a pouch syringe."
`
`This phrase is clear on its face and would be readily understood by those of ordinary skill in the
`
`art.
`
`Amneal reserves the right to edit or modify the proposed constructions and identification
`
`of disputed and agreed-upon terms identified herein.
`
`D.
`
`Anticipated Length of Time Necessary for the Claim Construction Hearing
`
`Pursuant to Local Patent Rule 4.3(d), the parties anticipate that the Court will be able to
`
`conduct a hearing on the meaning of the disputed terms in less than one day.
`
`E.
`
`Identification of Witnesses for the Claim Construction Hearing
`
`Pursuant to Local Patent Rule 4.3(e), the parties do not currently plan to call any
`
`witnesses at the claim construction hearing.

`
`‘431 PATENT FAMILY
`
`Jazz(cid:146)s Proposed Definition
`
`Amneal(cid:146)s Proposed Definition
`
`At least one container means
`is a drinking cup, a dosing
`cup, a syringe, a pipette, a
`vial, an ampule, a test tube, a
`flask, a bottle, or a pouch
`syringe.
`
`A container distinct from a
`first and second container.
`
`plain and ordinary meaning
`
`Amneal contends that the term
`(cid:147)third container means(cid:148) is a
`means-plus-function claim
`within the scope of 35 U.S.C.
`§ 112, ¶6.
`
`Function: (cid:147)third container
`means capable of retaining a
`first container means, a
`second container means, and
`one or more delivery vehicles
`capable of administering the
`pharmaceutical composition to
`the patient(cid:148)
`
`Amneal contends that the term
`(cid:147)third container means(cid:148)
`should be construed as a
`means-plus-function term
`within the scope of 35 U.S.C.
`§ 112, ¶6. See Altiris, Inc. v.
`Symantec Corp., 318 F.3d
`1363, 1375 (Fed. Cir. 2003);
`Biomedino, LLC v. Waters
`Technologies Corp., 490 F.3d
`946, 950 (Fed. Cir. 2007).
`This claim requires that the
`third container means has a
`function, but gives the means

`

`Case 2:13-cv-00391-ES-JAD Document 49 Filed 03/17/14 Page 10 of 17 PageID: 623
`
`
`no structure: (cid:147)third container
`means capable of retaining a
`first container means, a
`second container means, and
`one or more delivery vehicles
`capable of administering the
`pharmaceutical composition to
`the patient.(cid:148) The specification
`fails to provide sufficient
`disclosure of a structure for
`the (cid:147)third container means(cid:148)
`making this term, and any
`claim in which it appears,
`indefinite: a lack of sufficient
`disclosure of structure under
`35 U.S.C. § 112, ¶6, renders a
`claim indefinite, and thus not
`amenable to construction. See
`In re Aoyama, 656 F.3d 1293,
`1298 (Fed. Cir. 2011) (quoting
`Enzo Biochem, Inc. v. Applera
`Corp., 599 F.3d 1325, 1332
`(Fed. Cir. 2010) ((cid:147)If a claim is
`indefinite, the claim, by
`definition, cannot be
`construed.(cid:148))).
`
`(cid:147)an aqueous composition
`orally administered to the
`patient as a first dose(cid:133) and an
`aqueous composition orally
`administered to the patient as
`a second dose(cid:148)
