`
`
`A conference call was held on January 21, 2016, among counsel for
`Petitioners Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc. and Amneal Pharmaceuticals LLC
`(collectively, “Petitioners”), counsel for Patent Owner Yeda Research and
`Development Co. Ltd. (“Patent Owner”), and Judges Snedden and Hulse. A
`court reporter was also present on the call, and Petitioner Mylan agreed to
`file a transcript as an exhibit in due course.2
`Patent Owner initiated the conference call to request authorization to
`file a motion to submit supplemental information under 37 C.F.R.
`§ 42.123(b). Specifically, Patent Owner seeks to file eight or nine references
`cited in the Declaration of Henry G. Grabowski, Ph.D. (Ex. 2133) and a
`corrected version of Exhibit 2133 that refers to the supplemental information
`by exhibit number. Patent Owner asserts that the supplemental information
`was inadvertently omitted due to a filing error. Petitioner opposes Patent
`Owner’s request, arguing that Patent Owner cannot show that it reasonably
`could not have obtained the supplemental information earlier, as required by
`the rule.
`After considering the parties’ arguments, we authorized Patent Owner
`to file a five-page motion to submit supplemental information by Friday,
`January 22. Petitioners are authorized to file a joint five-page opposition by
`Wednesday, January 27. No reply is authorized at this time.
`
`
`2 This order summarizes the statements made during the conference call. A
`more detailed record may be found in the transcript.

`
`
`Accordingly, it is
`ORDERED that Patent Owner’s request for authorization to file a
`motion to submit supplemental information under 37 C.F.R. § 42.123(b) is
`granted;
`FURTHER ORDERED that Patent Owner’s motion shall be no more
`than 5 pages and filed no later than January 22, 2016;
`FURTHER ORDERED that Petitioners are authorized to file a joint
`opposition to Patent Owner’s motion, which shall be no more than 5 pages
`and filed no later than January 27, 2016; and
`FURTHER ORDERED that no reply is authorized at this time.
