`
`The XYREM® Drug Product
`
`13.
`
`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 patents-in-suit cover, inter alia, pharmaceutical compositions
`
`containing sodium oxybate, and methods of use and administration of sodium oxybate or
`
`pharmaceutical compositions containing sodium oxybate. Jazz Pharmaceuticals owns the
`
`patents-in-suit.
`
`14.
`
`Pursuant to 21 U.S.C. § 355(b)( 1) and attendant FDA regulations, the ’889,
`
`’219, ’730, ’ 106 and ’ 107 patents are 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
`
`15.
`
`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
`
`Produc ”), before the patents-in-suit expire.
`
`16.
`
`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 patents-in-suit are invalid, unenforceable, and/or
`
`will not be infringed by the activities described in Roxane’s ANDA.
`
`17.
`
`No earlier than October 14, 2010, 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 patents-in-suit are invalid, unenforceable, and/or will not be
`
`infiinged 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 patents-in-suit expire.
`
`18.
`
`In Roxane’s Notice Letter, it offered to provide access to certain confidential
`
`information and materials within Roxane’s ANDA that would allow Jazz Pharmaceuticals to
`
`confirm Roxane’s infringement of the patents-in—suit. In response, Jazz Pharmaceuticals wrote
`
`to Roxane regarding the terms of this offer and requesting access. To date, Roxane has not
`
`responded to this inquiry or provided any portion of its ANDA to counsel for Jazz
`
`Pharmaceuticals.

`
`19.
`
`Plaintiff repeats and realleges the allegations of paragraphs 1-18 as though fixlly

`
`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, prior to the expiration of the ’889 patent, constitutes infringement of one or more of
`
`the claims of that patent under 35 U.S.C. § 271 (e)(2)(A).
`

`
`There is a justiciable controversy between the parties hereto as to the
`
`infringement of the ’889 patent.
