`NATURE OF THE ACTION
`
`’319 patent”) under 35 U.S.C. § 271(e)(2) and for declaratory judgment of infringement under 28
`
`U.S.C. §§ 2201-02 and 35 U.S.C. § 271(a), (b), and (c). The action arises out of the submission
`
`by Akorn of Abbreviated New Drug Application (“ANDA”) No. 207284 to the U.S. Food and
`
`Drug Administration (“FDA”) seeking approval to manufacture and sell a generic version
`
`(“Akorn’s ANDA product”) of Alcon Laboratories’ DUREZOL® (difluprednate ophthalmic
`

`
`JURISDICTION AND VENUE
`
`7.
`
`This action arises under the patent laws of the United States of America, United
`
`States Code, Title 35, Section 1, et seq. and the Declaratory Judgment Act. This Court has
`
`subject matter jurisdiction over the action under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1331, 1338, 2201, and 2202.
`
`8.
`
`Upon information and belief, this Court has personal jurisdiction over Akorn.
`
`Upon information and belief, Akorn is in the business of manufacturing, marketing, importing,
`
`and selling pharmaceutical drug products, including generic drug products. Upon information
`
`and belief, Akorn directly manufactures, markets, and sells generic drug products throughout the
`
`
`
`

`
`
`
`

`
`Case 2:15-cv-00285-MCA-JBC Document 1 Filed 01/14/15 Page 3 of 9 PageID: 3
`
`
`
`United States and in this judicial district, and this judicial district is a likely destination for
`
`Akorn’s ANDA Product. Upon information and belief, Akorn purposefully has conducted and
`
`continues to conduct business in this judicial district.
`
`9.
`
`According to its website, Akorn employs 100 people and maintains an ophthalmic
`
`product manufacturing facility in Somerset, New Jersey, located at 72 Veronica Avenue.
`
`Akorn’s ANDA product is an ophthalmic product.
`
`10.
`
`Akorn is currently registered to do business in New Jersey, appointed an agent for
`
`service of process in New Jersey, and filed an annual report in New Jersey on September 25,
`
`2013. Additionally, the status report for Akorn from the New Jersey Business Gateway lists
`
`Akorn’s principal business address as 72 Veronica Ave Ste 6, Somerset, NJ, 08873.
`
`11.
`
`Akorn obtained a Drug and Medical Device Certificate of Registration in New
`
`Jersey, issued on January 10, 2014 and expiring January 31, 2015, and is currently registered in
`
`New Jersey as “Manufacturer and Wholesale.”
`
`12.
`
`Akorn has previously been sued in this district, did not challenge this Court’s
`
`assertion of personal jurisdiction over it, and asserted counterclaims for the purpose of litigating
`
`a patent infringement dispute in this district. See, e.g., Novartis Pharms. Corp. v. Akorn, Inc.,
`
`Case No. 2:13-cv-06835-SDW-MCA (D.N.J. filed Nov. 8, 2013); Bausch & Lomb Inc. et al. v.
`
`Akorn, Inc. et al., Case No. 1:14-cv-01866-NLH-JS (D.N.J. filed Mar. 23, 2014).
`
`13.
`
`Through Akorn’s outside counsel, Akorn agreed not to contest jurisdiction in this
`
`district for this matter.
`
`14.
`
`Upon information and belief, venue is proper in this Court under 28 U.S.C.
`
`§§ 1391, and 1400(b).
`
`BACKGROUND
`
`The Patent-in-Suit
`
`The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) duly and legally issued the
`
`A.
`15.
`
`’319 patent, entitled “Compositions Containing Difluprednate,” on September 5, 2000. The
`
`USPTO issued an ex parte reexamination certificate for the ’319 patent on May 18, 2004. Senju

`
`Case 2:15-cv-00285-MCA-JBC Document 1 Filed 01/14/15 Page 4 of 9 PageID: 4
`
`
`
`and Mitsubishi Chemical are the assignees of the ’319 patent. Plaintiffs hold all substantial
`
`rights in the ’319 patent and have the right to sue for infringement thereof. A copy of the ’319
`
`patent is attached as Exhibit A.
`
`16.
`
`Alcon Pharmaceuticals is the exclusive licensee of the ’319 patent in the
`
`ophthalmic field throughout the United States.
`
`B.
`17.
`
`Alcon’s NDA
`
`Alcon Pharmaceuticals is the holder of New Drug Application (“NDA”) No.
`
`022212 for difluprednate ophthalmic emulsion 0.05%, sold in the United States by Alcon
`
`Laboratories under the trademark DUREZOL®. The FDA approved NDA No. 022212 on June
`
`23, 2008.
`
`18.
`
`DUREZOL® (difluprednate ophthalmic emulsion) 0.05% is covered by one or
`
`more claims of the ’319 patent, which has been listed in connection with DUREZOL® in the
`
`FDA’s publication, Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations,
`
`commonly known as the “Orange Book.”
`
`C.
`19.
`
`Akorn’s ANDA
`
`By no earlier than December 3, 2014, Alcon Pharmaceuticals received a letter
`
`from Akorn dated December 2, 2014 (“Notice Letter”), purporting to be a Notice of Certification
`
`for ANDA No. 207284 pursuant to § 505(j)(2)(B)(iv) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic
`
`Act, 21 U.S.C. § 355(j)(2)(B)(iv) and 21 C.F.R. § 314.95 (“Paragraph IV Certification”).
`
`20.
`
`By no earlier than December 4, 2014, Senju received Akorn’s Notice Letter dated
`
`December 2, 2014.
`
`21.
`
`By no earlier than December 4, 2014, Mitsubishi Chemical received Akorn’s
`
`Notice Letter dated December 2, 2014.
`
`22.
`
`Akorn’s Notice Letter states that Akorn has submitted ANDA No. 207284 to the
`
`FDA seeking approval from the FDA to engage in the commercial manufacture, use, and/or sale
`
`of Akorn’s ANDA Product before the expiration of the ’319 patent.

`
`Case 2:15-cv-00285-MCA-JBC Document 1 Filed 01/14/15 Page 5 of 9 PageID: 5
`
`
`
`23.
`
`Upon information and belief, the purpose of Akorn’s Paragraph IV Certification
`
`submitted with Akorn’s ANDA is to obtain approval to engage in the commercial manufacture,
`
`use, import, offer for sale and/or sale of Akorn’s ANDA Product before the expiration of the
`
`’319 patent.
`
`24.
`
`Upon information and belief, Akorn was aware of the ’319 patent when Akorn
`
`filed ANDA No. 207284 with a Paragraph IV Certification.
`
`25.
`
`Upon information and belief, Akorn’s ANDA product is the same, or substantially
`
`the same, as DUREZOL® (difluprednate ophthalmic emulsion) 0.05%.
`
`26.
`
`Upon information and belief, Akorn’s ANDA No. 207284 refers to and relies
`
`upon NDA No. 022212 and contains data that, according to Akorn, demonstrate the
`
`bioequivalence of Akorn’s ANDA Product and DUREZOL® (difluprednate ophthalmic
`
`emulsion) 0.05%.
`
`27.
`
`Akorn’s Notice Letter lacks any legal or factual basis for non-infringement of any
`
`claim of the ’319 patent.

`
`(INFRINGEMENT OF THE ’319 PATENT BY AKORN)
`
`Plaintiffs incorporate each of the preceding paragraphs 1-27 as if fully set forth
`
`Defendant Akorn’s ANDA Product is covered by one or more claims of the ’319
`
`Defendant Akorn’s submission of ANDA No. 207284 for the purposes of
`
`obtaining approval to engage in the commercial manufacture, use, import, offer for sale and/or
`
`sale of Akorn’s ANDA Product before the expiration of the ’319 patent is an act of infringement
`
`under 35 U.S.C. § 271(e)(2)(A) of the ’319 patent.

`AKORN)
`
`COUNT II
`
`31.
`
`herein.
`
`32.
`
`Plaintiffs incorporate each of the preceding paragraphs 1-30 as if fully set forth
`
`Upon information and belief, Akorn intends to engage in the commercial
`
`manufacture, use, import, offer for sale and/or sale of Akorn’s ANDA Product immediately and
`
`imminently upon approval of Akorn’s ANDA No. 207284.
`
`33.
`
`The commercial manufacture, use, import, offer for sale and/or sale of Akorn’s
`
`ANDA Product would infringe one or more claims of the ’319 patent.
`
`34.
`
`Upon information and belief, Akorn has knowledge of the claims of the ’319
`
`patent. Notwithstanding this knowledge, Akorn has continued to assert its intent to engage in the
`
`manufacture, use, offer for sale, sale, marketing, distribution, and/or importation of Akorn's
`
`ANDA Product immediately and imminently upon approval of ANDA No. 207284.
`
`35.
`
`Upon information and belief, Akorn plans and intends to, and will, contribute to
`
`the infringement of the ’319 patent when ANDA No. 207284 is approved, and plans and intends
`
`to, and will, do so immediately and imminently upon such approval.
`
`36.
`
`Upon information and belief, Akorn plans and intends to, and will, actively
`
`induce infringement of the ’319 patent when ANDA No. 207284 is approved, and plans and
`
`intends to, and will, do so immediately and imminently upon such approval.
`
`37.
`
`The commercial manufacture, use, import, offer for sale and/or sale of Akorn’s
`
`ANDA Product will constitute direct infringement of one or more claims of the ’319 patent
`
`under 35 U.S.C. § 271(a), inducement of infringement of one or more claims of the ’319 patent
`
`under 35 U.S.C. § 271(b), and contributory infringement of one or more claims of the ’319
`
`patent under 35 U.S.C. § 271(c).
`
`38.
`
`Upon information and belief, Akorn has acted, and will continue to act, with full
`
`knowledge of the ’319 patent and without a reasonable basis for believing that it would not be
`

`
`
`
`liable for infringing the ’319 patent, contributing to the infringement of the ’319 patent, and
`
`actively inducing infringement of the ’319 patent.
`
`39.
`
`There is an actual and justiciable case or controversy between Plaintiffs and
`
`Defendant Akorn concerning the infringement of the ’319 patent. Plaintiffs are entitled to a
`
`declaration that Defendant Akorn’s commercial manufacture, use, import, offer for sale and/or
`
`sale of Akorn’s ANDA Product will infringe one or more claims of the ’319 patent.
`
`40.
`
`Unless Defendant Akorn is enjoined from infringing the ’319 patent, Plaintiffs
`
`will suffer irreparable injury. Plaintiffs have no adequate remedy at law.
`
`41.
`
`Akorn’s actions have created in Plaintiffs a reasonable apprehension of
`
`irreparable harm and loss resulting from Akorn’s threatened imminent actions.

`It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`a composition containing difluprednate, which shows supe-
`
`
`
`
`
`
`rior transfer of the drug to the lesion, uniform drug distri-
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`bution upon administration, less uncomfortable feeling and
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`foreign sensation upon administration, and less side effects.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`According to the present invention, it has now been found
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`that a dosage form of a liquid composition containing
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`difluprednate, oil, water and an emulsifier results in quick
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`transfer of a large amount of difluprednate, uniform drug
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`distribution and extremely reduced levels of uncomfortable
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`feeling and foreign sensation upon local administration to
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`the eye, nose, ear and the like. Inasmuch as difluprednate can
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`be transferred smoothly, administration of a small dose
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`thereof is sufficient to bring about efficacy, whereby side
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`effects can be suppressed.
`
`
`
`
`That is, the present invention provides the following.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`(1) A difluprednate liquid composition comprising
`
`
`
`
`
`difluprednate, oil, water and an emulsifier.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`(2) The composition of (1) above, comprising 10—100,000
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`parts by weight of oil, 100—100,000 parts by weight of
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`water and 10—100,000 parts by weight of the emulsifier,
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`per part by weight of difluprednate.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`(3) The composition of (1) above, comprising 10—10,000
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`parts by weight of oil, 100—50,000 parts by weight of
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`water and 10—10,000 parts by weight of the emulsifier, per
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`part by weight of difluprednate.
`
`
`
`
`
`(4) The composition of (1) above, comprising 10—5,000
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`parts by weight of oil, 500—50,000 parts by weight of
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`water and 10—5,000 parts by weight of the emulsifier, per
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`part by weight of difluprednate.
`
`
`
`
`
`(5) The composition of (1) above, wherein the oil comprises
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`a fatty acid ester of glycerol.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`(6) The composition of (5) above, wherein the fatty acid
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
