`JOINT CLAIM CONSTRUCTION AND PREHEARING STATEMENT
`
`Plaintiff Celgene Corporation and Defendants Natco Pharma Limited, Arrow
`
`International Limited, and Watson Laboratories, Inc. (collectively, (cid:147)Natco(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 Natco(cid:146)s filing of ANDA No. 201452 with the U.S. Food and Drug
`
`Administration ((cid:147)FDA(cid:148)), which seeks approval to market a generic version of Celgene(cid:146)s
`
`Revlimidfi product. The active ingredient in Revlimidfi is lenalidomide. Plaintiffs allege, among
`
`other things, that Natco(cid:146)s submission of ANDA No. 201452 to the FDA constitutes infringement

`
`of certain claims of United States Patent Nos. 5,635,517 (the (cid:147)(cid:146)517 patent(cid:148)), 6,045,501 (the
`
`(cid:147)(cid:146)501 patent(cid:148)), 6,281,230 (the (cid:147)(cid:146)230 patent(cid:148)), 6,315,720 (the (cid:147)(cid:146)720 patent(cid:148)), 6,555,554 (the
`
`(cid:147)(cid:146)554 patent(cid:148)), 6,561,976 (the (cid:147)(cid:146)976 patent(cid:148)), 6,561,977 (the (cid:147)(cid:146)977 patent(cid:148)), 6,755,784 (the

`(cid:147)(cid:146)784 patent(cid:148)), 7,119,106 (the (cid:147)(cid:146)106 patent(cid:148)), and 7,465,800 (the (cid:147)(cid:146)800 patent(cid:148)) owned by
`
`Celgene (collectively, (cid:147)the patents-in-suit(cid:148)) under 35 U.S.C. §271(e)(2). Natco alleges, among
`
`other things, that certain of the asserted claims are invalid, unenforceable, and/or not infringed.
`
`Pursuant to Local Patent Rules 4.2(a)-(b), on June 7, 2011, 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 June 24,
`
`2011, the parties identified all intrinsic and extrinsic evidence that each party intends to rely
`
`upon to oppose any other party(cid:146)s proposed construction. Pursuant to Local Patent Rule 4.2(d),
`
`on July 8, 2011, counsel for the parties met and conferred for the purposes of narrowing the
`
`issues and preparation of the Joint Claim Construction and Prehearing Statement.
