`
`for sale or importation of 500 mg/mL sodium oxybate oral solution ((cid:147)Amneal(cid:146)s Proposed
`
`Product(cid:148)), before the patents-in-suit expire.
`
`17.
`
`In connection with the filing of its ANDA as described in the preceding
`
`paragraph, Amneal has provided a written certification to the FDA, as called for by Section 505
`
`of the FFDCA, 21 U.S.C. § 355(j)(2)(A)(vii)(IV) ((cid:147)Amneal(cid:146)s Paragraph IV Certification(cid:148)),
`
`alleging that the claims of the patents-in-suit are invalid, unenforceable, and/or will not be
`
`infringed by the activities described in Amneal(cid:146)s ANDA.
`
`18.
`
`No earlier than December 10, 2012, Jazz Pharmaceuticals received written notice
`
`of Amneal(cid:146)s Paragraph IV Certification ((cid:147)Amneal(cid:146)s Notice Letter(cid:148)) pursuant to
`
`21 U.S.C. § 355(j)(2)(B). Amneal(cid:146)s Notice Letter alleged that the claims of the patents-in-suit
`
`are invalid, unenforceable, and/or will not be infringed by the activities described in Amneal(cid:146)s
`
`ANDA. Amneal(cid:146)s Notice Letter also informed Jazz Pharmaceuticals that Amneal seeks approval
`
`to market Amneal(cid:146)s Proposed Product before the patents-in-suit expire.
`
`Count I: Infringement of the ’431 Patent
`
`19.
`
`Plaintiff repeats and realleges the allegations of paragraphs 1-18 as though fully
`
`set forth herein.
`
`20.
`
`Amneal, through its submission of its Paragraph IV Certification as part of its
`
`ANDA to the FDA, has indicated that it seeks 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 (cid:146)431 patent. Amneal(cid:146)s actions with respect to its ANDA show that there is a
`
`substantial controversy, between the parties, of sufficient immediacy and reality to warrant the
`
`issuance of a declaratory judgment.
`
`21.
`
`Amneal(cid:146)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 (cid:146)431 patent, constitutes infringement of one or more of the claims of
`
`that patent under 35 U.S.C. § 271(e)(2)(A).
`
`22.
`
`There is a justiciable controversy between the parties hereto as to the infringement
`
`of the (cid:146)431 patent.
`
`23.
`
`Unless enjoined by this Court, upon FDA approval of Amneal(cid:146)s ANDA, Amneal
`
`will infringe the (cid:146)431 patent under 35 U.S.C. § 271(a) by making, using, offering to sell,
`
`importing, and/or selling Amneal(cid:146)s Proposed Product in the United States.
`
`24.
`
`Unless enjoined by this Court, upon FDA approval of Amneal(cid:146)s ANDA, Amneal
`
`will induce infringement of the (cid:146)431 patent under 35 U.S.C. § 271(b) by making, using, offering
`
`to sell, importing, and/or selling Amneal(cid:146)s Proposed Product in the United States. On
`
`information and belief, upon FDA approval of Amneal(cid:146)s ANDA, Amneal will intentionally
`
`encourage acts of direct infringement with knowledge of the (cid:146)431 patent and knowledge that its
`
`acts are encouraging infringement.
`
`25.
`
`Unless enjoined by this Court, upon FDA approval of Amneal(cid:146)s ANDA, Amneal
`
`will contributorily infringe the (cid:146)431 patent under 35 U.S.C. § 271(c) by making, using, offering
`
`to sell, importing, and/or selling Amneal(cid:146)s Proposed Product in the United States. On
`
`information and belief, Amneal has had and continues to have knowledge that Amneal(cid:146)s
`
`Proposed Product is especially adapted for a use that infringes the (cid:146)431 patent and that there is no
`
`substantial non-infringing use for Amneal(cid:146)s Proposed Product.
`
`26.
`
`Jazz Pharmaceuticals will be substantially and irreparably damaged and harmed if
`
`Amneal(cid:146)s infringement of the (cid:146)431 patent is not enjoined.
`
`27.
`
`Jazz Pharmaceuticals does not have an adequate remedy at law.

`
`Amneal(cid:146)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 (cid:146)059 patent, constitutes infringement of one or more of the claims of
`
`that patent under 35 U.S.C. § 271(e)(2)(A).
`
`58.
`
`There is a justiciable controversy between the parties hereto as to the infringement
`
`of the (cid:146)059 patent.
`
`59.
`
`Unless enjoined by this Court, upon FDA approval of Amneal(cid:146)s ANDA, Amneal
`
`will infringe the (cid:146)059 patent under 35 U.S.C. § 271(a) by making, using, offering to sell,
`
`importing, and/or selling Amneal(cid:146)s Proposed Product in the United States.
`
`60.
`
`Unless enjoined by this Court, upon FDA approval of Amneal(cid:146)s ANDA, Amneal
`
`will induce infringement of the (cid:146)059 patent under 35 U.S.C. § 271(b) by making, using, offering
`
`to sell, importing, and/or selling Amneal(cid:146)s Proposed Product in the United States. On
`
`information and belief, upon FDA approval of Amneal(cid:146)s ANDA, Amneal will intentionally
`
`encourage acts of direct infringement with knowledge of the (cid:146)059 patent and knowledge that its
`
`acts are encouraging infringement.
`
`61.
`
`Unless enjoined by this Court, upon FDA approval of Amneal(cid:146)s ANDA, Amneal
`
`will contributorily infringe the (cid:146)059 patent under 35 U.S.C. § 271(c) by making, using, offering
`
`to sell, importing, and/or selling Amneal(cid:146)s Proposed Product in the United States. On
`
`information and belief, Amneal has had and continues to have knowledge that Amneal(cid:146)s
`
`Proposed Product is especially adapted for a use that infringes the (cid:146)059 patent and that there is no
`
`substantial non-infringing use for Amneal(cid:146)s Proposed Product.
`
`62.
`
`Jazz Pharmaceuticals will be substantially and irreparably damaged and harmed if
`
`Amneal(cid:146)s infringement of the (cid:146)059 patent is not enjoined.
