`
`·8· · · · Q· · ·So you've done two other depositions for
`
`·9· ·United Therapeutics.· Did both of those cases also
`
`10· ·involve treprostinil?
`
`11· · · · A· · ·Yes.
`
`12· · · · Q· · ·And those were two cases in New Jersey
`
`13· ·involving generic challenges to United Therapeutics
`
`14· ·Remodulin product?
`
`15· · · · A· · ·Yes.
`
`16· · · · Q· · ·Do you remember the names of the two
`
`17· ·defendants in those cases?
`
`18· · · · A· · ·Sandoz in the first case, which went to

`
`20· · · · Q· · ·Okay.· And the type of case is still

`
`22· · · · A· · ·I believe so.
`
`23· · · · Q· · ·Have you submitted an expert report or
