`
`FDA assigned the ANDA for Hetero’s Bendamustine Product the number
`
`204081 .
`
`37.
`
`Hetero also filed with FDA, pursuant to 21 U.S.C. § 355(j)(2)(B)(iv), a

`
`COUNT I FOR INFRINGEMENT OF U.S. PATENT NO. 8,445,524 BY HETERO
`
`41.
`
`The allegations of the preceding paragraphs 1-40 are re-alleged and incorporated
`
`herein by reference.
`
`42.
`
`The use of Hetero’s Bendamustine Product is covered by one or more claims of
`
`the ’524 patent.
`
`43.
`
`The commercial manufacture, use, offer for sale, sale, marketing, distribution
`
`and/or importation of Hetero’s Bendamustine Product would infringe one or more claims of the
`
`’524 patent.
`
`44.
`
`Under 35 U.S.C. § 27l(e)(2)(A), Hetero’s submission to FDA of the Hetero
`
`ANDA to obtain approval for Hetero’ s Bendamustine Product with a Paragraph IV Certification
`
`related thereto before the expiration of the ’524 patent constitutes an act of infringement, and if
`
`approved, the commercial manufacture, use, offer to sell, sale, or importation of Hetero’s
`
`Bendamustine Product containing bendamustine hydrochloride, would infringe one or more
`
`claims ofthe ’524 patent under 35 U.S.C. § 27l(a).
`
`45.
`
`Hetero was aware of the ’524 patent when engaging in these knowing and
`
`purposeful activities and was aware that filing the Hetero ANDA with Hetero’ s Paragraph IV
`
`Certification with respect to the ’524 patent constituted an act of infringement of the ’524 patent.
`
`46.
`
`On information and belief, Hetero’s Bendamustine Product contains the same
`
`active pharmaceutical ingredient, bendamustine hydrochloride, as that used in Cephalon’s
`
`TREANDA® products and claimed in the ’524 patent.

`

`
`Case 1:13—cv—O2046—GMS Document 34 Filed 11/06/14 Page 9 of 16 Page|D #: 293
`
`47.
`
`On information and belief, the manufacture of Hetero’ s Bendamustine Product is
`
`made using the solid form of bendamustine hydrochloride described in one or more claims of the
`
`’524 patent.
`
`48.
`
`Hetero’s use of the solid form of bendamustine hydrochloride in the manufacture
`
`of Hetero’s Bendamustine Product infringes one or more claims of the ’524 patent.
`
`49.
`
`On information and belief, Hetero plans and intends to, and will, infringe the ’524
`
`patent immediately and imminently upon approval of the Hetero ANDA.
`
`50.
`
`On information and belief, Hetero, under 35 U.S.C. § 27l(b), acted in concert,
`
`actively supported, participated in, encouraged, and/or induced the infringement of one or more
`
`claims of the ’524 patent.
`
`51.
`
`On information and belief, Hetero plans and intends to, and will, actively induce
`
`infringement of the ’524 patent when the Hetero ANDA is approved, and plans and intends to,
`
`and will, do so immediately and imminently upon approval.
`
`52.
`
`On information and belief, Hetero knows that the solid form of bendamustine
`
`hydrochloride used to manufacture Hetero’s Bendamustine Product is especially made or
`
`adapted for use in infringing the ’524 patent and that the solid form of bendamustine
`
`hydrochloride used to manufacture Hetero’s Bendamustine Product is not suitable for substantial
`
`non-infringing uses. On information and belief, Hetero plans and intends to, and will, contribute
`
`to the infringement of the ’524 patent, under 35 U.S.C. § 27l(c), immediately and imminently
`
`upon approval of the Hetero ANDA.
`
`53.
`
`The foregoing actions by Hetero constitute and/or would constitute infringement
`
`of the ’524 patent, active inducement of infringement of the ’524 patent and/or contribution to
`
`the infringement by others of the ’524 patent.

`

`
`Case 1:13—cv—O2046—GMS Document 34 Filed 11/06/14 Page 10 of 16 Page|D #: 294
`
`54.
`
`On information and belief, Hetero acted without a reasonable basis for believing
`
`that it would not be liable for infringing the ’524 patent, actively inducing infringement of the
`
`’524 patent and/or contributing to the infringement by others of the ’524 patent.
`
`55.
`
`Cephalon will be substantially and irreparably harmed by Hetero’s infringing
`
`activities unless the Court enjoins those activities. Cephalon will have no adequate remedy at
`
`law if Hetero is not enjoined from the commercial manufacture, use, offer to sell, sale in and
`
`importation into the United States of Hetero’s Bendamustine Product.
`
`56.
`
`Hetero’s activities render this case an exceptional one, and Cephalon is entitled to
`
`an award of their reasonable attorney fees under 35 U.S.C. § 285.
`
`COUNT II FOR DECLARATORY JUDGMENT OF
`
`INFRINGEMENT OF U.S. PATENT NO. 8,445,524 BY HETERO
`
`57.
`
`The allegations of the preceding paragraphs 1-56 are re-alleged and incorporated
`
`herein by reference.
`
`58.
`
`On information and belief, Hetero plans to begin manufacturing, marketing,
`
`selling, offering to sell and/or importing Hetero’s Bendamustine Product soon after FDA
`
`approval of the Hetero ANDA.
`
`59.
`
`Such conduct will constitute direct infringement of one or more claims on the
`
`’524 patent under 35 U.S.C. § 27l(a), inducement of infringement of the ’524 patent under 35
`
`U.S.C. § 27l(b), and contributory infringement under 35 U.S.C. § 27l(c).
`
`60.
`
`Hetero’s infringing patent activity complained of herein is imminent and will
`
`begin following FDA approval of the Hetero ANDA.
`
`61.
`
`As a result of the foregoing facts, there is a real, substantial, and continuing
`
`justiciable controversy between Cephalon and Hetero as to liability for the infringement of the
`
`10

`
`Case 1:13—cv—O2046—GMS Document 34 Filed 11/06/14 Page 11 of 16 Page|D #: 295
`
`’524 patent. Hetero’s actions have created in Cephalon a reasonable apprehension of irreparable
`
`harm and loss resulting from Hetero’s threatened imminent actions.
`
`62.
`
`On information and belief, Hetero will knowingly and willfully infringe the ’524
`
`patent.
`
`63.
`
`Cephalon will be irreparably harmed if Hetero is not enjoined from infringing the
`
`’524 patent.
`
`COUNT III FOR INFRINGEMENT OF U.S. PATENT NO. 8,791,270 BY HETERO
`
`64.
`
`The allegations of the preceding paragraphs 1-63 are re-alleged and incorporated
`
`herein by reference.
`
`65.
`
`The use of Hetero’s Bendamustine Product is covered by one or more claims of
`
`the ’27O patent.
`
`66.
`
`The commercial manufacture, use, offer for sale, sale, marketing, distribution
`
`and/or importation of Hetero’s Bendamustine Product would infringe one or more claims of the
`
`’27O patent.
`
`67.
`
`Under 35 U.S.C. § 27l(e)(2)(A), Hetero’s submission to FDA of the Hetero
`
`ANDA to obtain approval for Hetero’ s Bendamustine Product with a Paragraph IV Certification
`
`related thereto before the expiration of the ’27O patent constitutes an act of infringement, and if
`
`approved, the commercial manufacture, use, offer to sell, sale, or importation of Hetero’s
`
`Bendamustine Product containing bendamustine hydrochloride, would infringe one or more
`
`claims of the ’27O patent under 35 U.S.C. § 27l(a).
`
`68.
`
`Hetero was aware of the ’27O patent when engaging in these knowing and
`
`purposeful activities and were aware that filing the Hetero ANDA with Hetero’ s Paragraph IV
`
`Certification with respect to the ’27O patent constituted an act of infringement of the ’27O patent.

`
`claims of the ’27O patent.
`

`
`infringement of the ’27O patent when the Hetero ANDA is approved, and plans and intends to,

`
`§ 27 l(c), immediately and imminently upon approval of the Hetero ANDA.
`

`
`The foregoing actions by Hetero constitutes and/or would constitute infringement
`
`of the ’27O patent, active inducement of infringement of the ’27O patent and/or contribution to
`

`
`79.
`
`Cephalon will be substantially and irreparably harmed by Hetero’s infringing
`
`activities unless the Court enjoins those activities. Cephalon will have no adequate remedy at
`
`law if Hetero is not enjoined from the commercial manufacture, use, offer to sell, sale in and
`
`importation into the United States of Hetero’s Bendamustine Product.
`
`80.
`
`Hetero’s activities render this case an exceptional one, and Cephalon is entitled to
`
`an award of its reasonable attorneys’ fees under 35 U.S.C. § 285.
`
`COUNT IV DECLARATORY JUDGMENT OF
`
`INFRINGEMENT OF U.S. PATENT NO. 8,791,270 BY HETERO
`
`81.
`
`The allegations of the preceding paragraphs 1-80 are re-alleged and incorporated
`
`herein by reference.
`
`82.
`
`On information and belief, Hetero plans to begin manufacturing, marketing,
`
`selling, offering to sell and/or importing Hetero’s Bendamustine Product soon after FDA
`
`approval of the Hetero ANDA.
`
`83.
`
`Such conduct will constitute direct infringement of one or more claims on the
`
`’27O patent under 35 U.S.C. § 27l(a), inducement of infringement of the ’27O patent under 35
`
`U.S.C. § 27l(b), and contributory infringement under 35 U.S.C. § 27l(c).

`
`Case 1:13—cv—O2046—GMS Document 34 Filed 11/06/14 Page 14 of 16 Page|D #: 298
`
`84.
`
`Hetero’s infringing patent activity complained of herein is imminent and will
`
`begin following FDA approval of the Hetero ANDA.
`
`85.
`
`As a result of the foregoing facts, there is a real, substantial, and continuing
`
`justiciable controversy between Cephalon and Hetero as to liability for the infringement of the
`
`’27O patent. Hetero’s actions have created in Cephalon a reasonable apprehension of irreparable
`
`harm and loss resulting from Hetero’s threatened imminent actions.
`
`86.
`
`On information and belief, Hetero will knowingly and willfully infringe the 270
`
`patent.
`
`87.
`
`Cephalon will be substantially and irreparably harmed by Hetero’s infringing
`
`activities unless the Court enjoins those activities.
`
`PRAYER FOR RELIEF

`WHEREFORE, Cephalon respectfully requests the following relief:

`using, offering to sell, selling, marketing, distributing, or importing into the United States of
`
`Hetero’s Bendamustine Products prior to the expiration of the ’524 patent and the ’27O patent
`
`will infringe, actively induce infringement, and/or contribute to the infringement of one or more
`
`claims of the ’524 patent and the ’27O patent;
`
`c.
`
