`JOINT NOTICE OF STIPULATION CONCERNING JOINDER
`
`

`
`Case IPR 2016-01343
`Patent 7,772,209
`Three petitions for inter partes review have been filed seeking to join
`
`IPR2016-00240: IPR2016-01191 (filed by Apotex Inc. and Apotex Corp.);
`
`IPR2016-01343 (filed by Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. and Fresenius Kabi
`
`USA, LLC); and IPR2016-01337 (filed by Wockhardt Bio AG). The Board held
`
`an initial telephonic conference in IPR2016-00240 on July 22, 2016, in which the
`
`petitioners in IPR2016-01191 and IPR2016-01343 participated. During that
`
`conference, the Board encouraged the parties to meet and confer regarding
`
`conditions for an agreed-upon joinder. The Petitioners in IPR2016-01191,
`
`IPR2016-01343, and IPR2016-01337 (collectively, the “Joinder Petitioners”),
`
`Petitioner Neptune Generics, LLC (“Neptune” or “Lead Petitioner”), and Patent
`
`Owner Eli Lilly and Company (“Lilly”) have conferred, and hereby stipulate and
`
`agree as follows, subject to the Board’s approval of joinder on the parties’ agreed-
`
`upon terms:
`
`1.
`
`Neptune and Lilly will not oppose the joinder of Joinder Petitioners to
`
`IPR2016-00240 (the “Joined Proceeding”).
`
`2.
`
`Lilly waives its right to file a Patent Owner Preliminary Response in
`
`IPR2016-01191, IPR2016-01343, and IPR2016-01337.
`
`3.
`
`So long as Lead Petitioner is not terminated as a party, Lead Petitioner
`
`will retain control over petitioners’ side of the Joined Proceeding, will conduct all
`
`argument and examination of witnesses for that side, and will submit all
`
`
`
`2
`
`

`
`Case IPR 2016-01343
`Patent 7,772,209
`substantive written submissions for that side. Joinder Petitioners will act as silent
`
`understudies in the proceedings, and thus will not (1) file any papers or exhibits in
`
`the Joined Proceeding, except for pro hac vice motions, updated mandatory
`
`notices, and similar administrative filings that do not constitute argument or
`
`evidence relating to the merits; (2) serve objections or discovery requests in
`
`connection with the Joined Proceeding; however, these restrictions do not apply to
`
`any discovery requests Lilly may serve on a Joinder Petitioner; (3) participate in
`
`the questioning of any witness or the defense of any witness deposition in the
`
`Joined Proceeding; (4) participate in a speaking role in any telephonic conference
`
`before the Board in the Joined Proceeding; or (5) participate in oral argument in
`
`the Joined Proceeding. Joinder Petitioners may, however, attend all depositions,
`
`telephonic conferences, and oral argument in the Joined Proceeding, and will be
`
`served with all papers and exhibits served by Lead Petitioner on Patent Owner or
`
`by Patent Owner on Lead Petitioner. Notwithstanding the above, Joinder
`
`Petitioners may speak or otherwise respond if there is an argument, question, or
`
`inquiry directed specifically to one or more Joinder Petitioners, or that is about one
`
`or more Joinder Petitioners specifically or the position of one or more Joinder
`
`Petitioners specifically.
`
`4.
`
`The parties agree that the arguments and evidence presented in
`
`Joinder Petitioners’ petitions is duplicative of the arguments and evidence
`
`
`
`3
`
`

`
`Case IPR 2016-01343
`Patent 7,772,209
`presented in Lead Petitioner’s petition. The Joined Petitioners agree to proceed in
`
`the instant IPR based only upon the arguments and evidence advanced by Lead
`
`Petitioner. Subject to the provisions of paragraph 6 below, the Joinder Petitioners
`
`agree that they will not rely on any declarants (such as expert witnesses) proffered
`
`by the Joinder Petitioners with their Petitions that were not proffered by Lead
`
`Petitioner, and such declarants shall not be subject to cross-examination.
`
`5.
`
`The presence of Joinder Petitioners in the Joined Proceeding shall not
`
`be a basis for any alteration of the schedule, nor shall Joinder Petitioners be
`
`allocated time or otherwise affect the times allocated for cross-examination,
`
`redirect, or re-cross examination of any witness.
`
`6.
`
`In the event that Lead Petitioner is terminated from the Joined
`
`Proceeding by settlement or for any other reason, the remaining parties agree to
`
`confer in good faith regarding a fair and efficient framework for completing the
`
`remainder of the Joined Proceeding, including whether Petitioners may rely on the
`
`additional expert declarations filed by the Joinder Petitioners with their Petitions
`
`(such as in the event that Lead Petitioner’s expert is unavailable to the Joinder
`
`Petitioners).
