`
`THE PATENTS-IN-SUIT
`
`21.
`
`On March 26, 2013, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”)
`
`duly and legally issued the ’215 patent entitled “Methods of Therapeutic Monitoring of
`
`Nitrogen Scavenging Drugs.” At the time of its issue, the ’215 patent was assigned to
`
`Hyperion Therapeutics Inc., which later changed its name to Horizon Therapeutics, Inc.
`
`Horizon Therapeutics, Inc. currently is the sole assignee and owner of all right, title and
`
`interest in and to the ’215 patent, which discloses and claims, inter alia, a method for
`
`adjusting the dosage of a nitrogen scavenging drug in a subject who has previously been
`
`administered an initial dosage of the nitrogen scavenging drug. A true and correct copy
`
`of the ’215 patent is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
`
`22.
`
`On February 4, 2014, the USPTO duly and legally issued the ’012 patent
`
`entitled “Methods of Treatment Using Ammonia-Scavenging Drugs.” At the time of its
`
`issue, the ’012 patent was assigned to Hyperion Therapeutics Inc., which later changed its
`
`name to Horizon Therapeutics, Inc. Horizon Therapeutics, Inc. currently is the sole
`
`assignee and owner of all right, title and interest in and to the ’012 patent, which
`
`discloses and claims, inter alia, a method of treating a patient having urea cycle disorder.
`
`A true and correct copy of the ’012 patent is attached hereto as Exhibit B.
`
`23.
`
`On August 4, 2015, the USPTO duly and legally issued the ’559 patent
`
`entitled “Methods of Therapeutic Monitoring of Nitrogen Scavenging Drugs.” At the
`
`time of its issue, the ’559 patent was assigned to Horizon Therapeutics, Inc. Horizon

`
`
`Therapeutics, Inc. currently is the sole assignee and owner of all right, title and interest in
`
`and to the ’559 patent, which discloses and claims, inter alia, methods for evaluating
`
`daily ammonia exposure based on a single fasting ammonia blood level measurement. A
`
`true and correct copy of the ’559 patent is attached hereto as Exhibit C.
`
`RAVICTI®
`
`24.
`
`Horizon Therapeutics, Inc. is the owner of FDA-approved New Drug
`
`Application No. 203284 (“the RAVICTI® NDA”) for glycerol phenylbutyrate oral liquid
`
`1.1gm/ml, which is sold by Horizon Pharma USA, Inc. in the US under the tradename
`
`RAVICTI®.
`
`25.
`
`RAVICTI® is currently approved by the FDA for use as a nitrogen-
`
`binding agent for chronic management of adult and pediatric patients ≥ 2 years of age
`
`with urea cycle disorders that cannot be managed by dietary protein restriction and/or
`
`amino acid supplementation alone.
`
`26.
`
`Pursuant to 21 U.S.C. § 355, and attendant FDA regulations, the ’215,
`
`’012, and ’559 patents are listed in the FDA publication entitled Approved Drug Products
`
`and Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations (“the Orange Book”) for the RAVICTI® NDA.
`
`27.
`
`The ’215, ’012, and ’559 patents qualify for listing in the Orange Book in
`
`connection with NDA No. 203284 because each patent claims an approved use of
`
`RAVICTI®.
`
`LUPIN’S ANDA
`
`28.
`
`On information and belief, Lupin submitted the Lupin ANDA to the FDA,
`
`pursuant to 21 U.S.C. § 355(j), seeking approval to market glycerol phenylbutyrate oral
`
`liquid. On information and belief, the Lupin ANDA seeks approval to market the Lupin
`
`Product for use as a nitrogen-binding agent for chronic management of adult and
`
`pediatric patients ≥ 2 years of age with urea cycle disorders that cannot be managed by
`
`dietary protein restriction and/or amino acid supplementation alone.

`
`

`
`On information and belief, the conditions of use for which Lupin seeks
`
`approval of the Lupin Product in the Lupin ANDA are the same as those set forth in the
`
`FDA-approved labeling for RAVICTI®.
`30.
`
`On information and belief, the Lupin ANDA refers to and relies upon the
`
`RAVICTI® NDA and contains data that, according to Lupin, demonstrate the
`
`bioequivalence of the Lupin Product and RAVICTI®.
`
`

`September 4, 2015 (“the September 4th Letter”), stating that Lupin Ltd. included a
`
`Horizon Therapeutics, Inc. received from Lupin Ltd. a letter, dated
`
`certification in the Lupin ANDA, pursuant to 21 U.S.C. § 355(j)(2)(A)(vii)(IV), that the
`
`’215 and ’012 patents are invalid, unenforceable and/or will not be infringed by the
`
`commercial manufacture, use or sale of the Lupin Product (the “Paragraph IV
`
`Certification”).
`
`
`32.
`
`The Lupin ANDA seeks approval to engage in the commercial
`
`manufacture, use or sale of glycerol phenylbutyrate oral liquid before the expiration of
`
`the ’215 and ’012 patents.

`56.
`
` The ’559 patent issued on August 4, 2015, and will expire on March 9,
`
`2032.
`
`
`57.
`
`Defendants have filed a Paragraph IV Certification in the Lupin ANDA
`
`seeking approval to market the Lupin Product prior to the expiration of, inter alia, the
`
`’215 patent, which expires on March 9, 2032. Because the ’559 patent also expires on
`
`March 9, 2032, Defendants seek approval of the Lupin ANDA, and to market the Lupin
`
`Product, prior to the expiration of the ’559 patent.
`
`
`58.
`
`By submitting and seeking approval of the Lupin ANDA, and also seeking
`
`approval to engage in the commercial manufacture, use, offer to sell, sale or importation
`
`of the Lupin Product, prior to the date on which the ’559 patent expires, Defendants have
`
`infringed the ’559 patent pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 271(e)(2)(A).

`
`
`
`59.
`
`Defendants’ use, offer to sell, or sale of the Lupin Product within the
`
`United States, during the term of the ’559 patent also would infringe the ’559 patent
`
`under 35 U.S.C. § 271(a), (b) and/or (c).
`
`
`60.
`
`Upon information and belief, the conditions of use for the Lupin Product
`
`for which Lupin seeks approval in the Lupin ANDA fall within one or more of the claims
`
`of the ’559 patent. If approved, use of the Lupin Product in accordance with the
`
`proposed labeling submitted in the Lupin ANDA would infringe one or more of the
`
`claims of the ’559 patent.
`
`
`61.
`
`Upon approval of the Lupin ANDA, and the commercial marketing of the
`
`Lupin Product, Defendants will actively induce and/or contribute to infringement of the
`
`’559 patent.
`
`
`
`62.
`
`Upon information and belief, Defendants had actual and constructive
`
`notice of the ’559 patent as of its issue date, and Defendants’ infringement of the ’559
`
`patent is willful.
`
`
`63.
`
`Plaintiff is entitled to the relief provided by 35 U.S.C. § 271(e)(4),
`
`including an order of this Court that the effective date of the approval of Lupin’s ANDA
`
`be a date that is not earlier than the expiration of the ’559 patent, or any later expiration
`
`of any exclusivity or extension of the ’559 patent to which Plaintiff or the patent may
`
`become entitled.
`
`
`64.
`
`Plaintiff will be substantially and irreparably harmed if Defendants are not
`
`enjoined from infringing or actively inducing or contributing to the infringement of the
`
`’559 patent.
`
`
`65.
`
`
`66.
`
`Plaintiff has no adequate remedy at law.
`
`This case is exceptional, and Plaintiff is entitled to an award of attorneys’
`
`fees under 35 U.S.C. § 285.

`COUNT IV FOR DECLARATION OF INFRINGEMENT OF U.S. PATENT
`
`NO. 9,095,559
`
`67.
`
`Plaintiff realleges and incorporates by reference the allegations of
`
`paragraphs 1-66 of this Complaint.
`
`
`68.
`
`and 2202.
`
`
`69.
`
`This count arises under the Declaratory Judgment Act, 28 U.S.C. §§ 2201
`
`There currently exists an actual case or controversy such that the Court
`
`may entertain Plaintiff’s request for declaratory relief consistent with Article III of the
`
`United States Constitution, and this actual case or controversy requires a declaration of
`
`rights by this Court.
`
`
`70.
`
`Defendants’ use, offer to sell, or sale of the Lupin Product within the
`
`United States, during the term of the ’559 patent, would infringe the ’559 patent
`
`
`
`71.
`
`Defendants seek approval of the Lupin ANDA, and to market the Lupin
`
`Product, prior to the expiration of the ’559 patent.
`
`
`72.
`
`Defendants have made, and will continue to make, substantial preparation
`
`in the United States to manufacture, offer to sell, sell and/or import the Lupin Product
`
`prior to the expiration of the ’559 patent.
`
`
`73.
`
`Plaintiff is entitled to a declaratory judgment that the use, offer for sale,
`
`and/or sale of the Lupin Product prior to the expiration of the ’559 patent by Defendants
`
`would constitute direct infringement, contributory infringement, and/or active
`
`inducement of infringement of the ’559 patent.
`
`
`74.
`
`Plaintiff will be substantially and irreparably harmed if Defendants are not
`
`enjoined from infringing or actively inducing or contributing to the infringement of the
`
`’559 patent.
