`
`The Parties
`
`2.
`
`Plaintiff Jazz Pharmaceuticals is a corporation organized and existing under the
`
`laws of the State of Delaware, having a principal place of business at 3180 Porter Drive, Palo
`
`Alto, California 94304.
`
`3.
`
`On information and belief, defendant Roxane is a corporation organized under
`
`the laws of Nevada, having a principal place of business at 1809 Wilson Road, Columbus,
`
`Ohio 43228.
`
`4.
`
`On information and belief, Roxane is registered to do business in the State of
`
`New Jersey, and maintains a registered agent for service of process in New Jersey. On
`
`information and belief, Roxane regularly transacts business within this judicial district.
`
`Further, on information and belief, Roxane develops numerous generic drugs for sale and use
`
`throughout the United States, including in this judicial district. On information and belief,
`
`Roxane has litigated patent cases in this district in the past without contesting personal
`
`jurisdiction, and, in at least some of those actions, Roxane has asserted counterclaims.
`
`Jurisdiction and Venue
`
`5.
`
`This Court has jurisdiction over the subject matter of this action pursuant to 28
`
`U.S.C. §§ 1331, 1338(a), 2201, and 2202.
`
`6.
`
`This Court has personal jurisdiction over Roxane by Virtue of, inter alia, its
`
`systematic and continuous contacts with the State of New Jersey. On information and belief,
`
`Roxane has purposefully availed itself of this forum by, among other things, making, shipping,
`
`using, offering to sell or selling, or causing others to use, offer to sell, or sell, pharmaceutical
`
`products in the State of New Jersey and deriving revenue from such activities. Further, on
`
`information and belief, Roxane has customers in the State of New Jersey.
`
`7.
`
`Venue is proper in this district pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1391 and 1400(b).

`
`The Patent-in-Suit
`
`8.
`
`On February 22, 2011, the United States Patent and Trademark Office
`
`(“USPTO”) duly and lawfully issued the ’059 patent, entitled “Sensitive Drug Distribution
`
`System and Method” to inventors Dayton Reardan, Patti Engle and Bob Gagne. A copy of the
`
`’059 patent is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
`
`The XYREM® Drug Product
`
`9.
`
`Jazz Pharmaceuticals holds an approved New Drug Application (“NDA”) under
`
`Section 505(a) of the Federal Food Drug and Cosmetic Act (“FFDCA”), 21 U.S.C. § 355(a),
`
`for sodium oxybate oral solution (NDA No. 21-196), which it sells under the trade name
`
`XYREM®. The claims of the ”059 patent cover, inter alia, methods of use and administration of
`
`sodium oxybate or pharmaceutical compositions containing sodium oxybate. Jazz
`
`Pharmaceuticals owns the ’059 patent.
`
`10.
`
`Pursuant to 21 U.S.C. § 355(b)(1) and attendant FDA regulations, ’059 patent is
`
`listed in the FDA publication, “Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence
`
`Evaluations” (the “Orange Book”), with respect to XYREM®.
`
`Acts Giving Rise to this Suit
`
`11.
`
`Pursuant to Section 505 of the FFDCA, Roxane filed ANDA No. 202—090
`
`(“Roxane’s ANDA”) seeking approval to engage in the commercial use, manufacture, sale,
`
`offer for sale or importation of 500 mg/ml sodium oxybate oral solution (“Roxane’ s Proposed
`
`Product”), before the ’059 patent expires.
`
`12.
`
`In connection with the filing of its ANDA as described in the preceding
`
`paragraph, Roxane has provided a written certification to the FDA, as called for by Section 505
`
`of the FFDCA, alleging that the claims of the ’059 patent are invalid, unenforceable, and/or
`
`will not be infringed by the activities descfibed in Roxane’s ANDA.

`
`
`
`Case 2:11-cv-02523-ES-MAH Document 1 Filed 05/02/11 Page 4 of 33 PagelD: 4
`
`13.
`
`No earlier than March 22, 2011, Roxane sent written notice of its ANDA
`
`certification to Jazz Pharmaceuticals (“Roxane”s Notice Letter”). Roxane’s Notice Letter
`
`alleged that the claims of the ”059 patent are invalid, unenforceable, and/or will not be
`
`infringed by the activities described in Roxane”s ANDA. Roxane”s Notice Letter also
`
`informed Jazz Pharmaceuticals that Roxane seeks approval to market Roxane”s Proposed
`
`Product before the ”059 patent expires.
`
`Count for Infringement of the ’059 Patent
`
`14.
`
`Plaintiff repeats and realleges the allegations of paragraphs 1—13 as though fully
`
`set forth herein.
`
`15.
`
`Roxane”s submission of its ANDA to obtain approval to engage in the
`
`commercial use, manufacture, sale, offer for sale, or importation of sodium oxybate oral
`
`solution, plior to the expiration of the ”059 patent, constitutes infringement of one or more of
`
`the claims of that patent under 35 U. SC. § 27l(e)(2)(A).
`
`16.
`
`There is a justiciable controversy between the parties hereto as to the
`
`infringement of the ”059 patent.
`
`17.
`
`Unless enjoined by this Court, upon FDA approval of Roxane” s ANDA, Roxane
`
`will infringe the ”059 patent under 35 U.S.C. § 271(a) by making, using, offering to sell,
`
`importing, and/or selling Roxane”s Proposed Product in the United States.
`
`18.
`
`Unless enjoined by this Court, upon FDA approval of Roxane’ s ANDA, Roxane
`
`will induce infringement of the ”059 patent under 35 U.S.C. § 271(b) by making, using,
`
`offering to sell, importing, and/or selling Roxane” 5 Proposed Product in the United States. On
`
`information and belief, upon FDA approval of Roxane”s ANDA, Roxane will intentionally
`
`encourage acts of direct infringement with knowledge of the ”059 patent and knowledge that its
`
`acts are encouraging infringement.

`
`19.
`
`Unless enjoined by this Court, upon FDA approval of Roxane’ s ANDA, Roxane
`
`will contributorily infringe the ’059 patent under 35 U.S.C. § 271(c) by making, using, offering
`
`to sell, importing, and/or selling Roxane’s Proposed Product in the United States. On
`
`information and belief, Roxane has had and continues to have knowledge that Roxane’s
`
`Proposed Product is especially adapted for a use that infringes the ’059 patent and that there is
`
`no substantial non-infringing use for Roxane’s Proposed Product.
`
`20.
`
`Jazz Pharmaceuticals will be substantially and irreparably damaged and harmed
`
`if Roxane’s infringement of the ”059 patent is not enjoined.
`
`21.
`
`Jazz Pharmaceuticals does not have an adequate remedy at law.
`
`22.
`
`This case is an exceptional one, and Jazz Pharmaceuticals is entitled to an award
`
`of its reasonable attorneys’ fees under 35 U.S.C. § 285.
`
`PRAYER FOR RELIEF
`
`WHEREFORE, Plaintiff Jazz Pharmaceuticals respectfully requests the following relief:

`
`United States, sale, or offer for sale of Roxane’s Proposed Product prior to the expiration of the
`
`’059 patent, a Judgment awarding damages to Plaintiff Jazz Pharmaceuticals resulting from such
