`STIPULATION AND ORDER
`
`Plaintiffs Sanofi-Aventis U.S. LLC, Sanofi-Aventis Deutschland GmbH, and Sanofi
`
`Winthrop Industrie (collectively, “Sanofi”) and Defendants Mylan N.V., Mylan GmbH, Mylan
`
`Inc., and Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc. (collectively “Defendants”) hereby stipulate and agree as
`
`follows:
`
`WHEREAS, on October 24, 2017, Sanofi filed suit against Defendants in the above-
`
`captioned case (“the Action”);
`
`WHEREAS, Mylan N.V., Mylan Inc., and Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc. maintain that they
`
`are not proper defendants in the Action and that venue is improper in this District as to
`
`Defendants;
`
`WHEREAS, Sanofi disagrees with the position of Mylan N.V., Mylan Inc., and Mylan
`
`Pharmaceuticals Inc. that they are not proper defendants in the Action and that venue is
`
`improper;
`
`
`
`
`Sanofi Exhibit 2006. 002
`Mylan v. Sanofi

`
`
`
`Case 2:17-cv-09105-SRC-CLW Document 45-1 Filed 02/05/18 Page 2 of 5 PageID: 1600
`
`
`
`WHEREAS, resolution of such disagreement by motion practice will consume time and
`
`expense that the parties wish to avoid by entering into this stipulation;
`
`NOW THEREFORE, Sanofi and Defendants, by and through their respective
`
`undersigned counsel in the Action, and subject to the approval of the Court, stipulate and agree
`
`as follows:
`
`1.
`
`Sanofi hereby dismisses without prejudice its claims as to Mylan N.V., Mylan
`
`Inc., and Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc., pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(A).
`
`2.
`
`Mylan N.V., Mylan Inc., and Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc., including any affiliates
`
`or subsidiaries who are in active concert or participation with Mylan N.V., Mylan Inc. and
`
`Mylan Pharmaceuticals, Inc., agree to be bound by any judgment, order, and/or decision
`
`rendered as to Mylan GmbH in the Action (including appeals) as if Mylan N.V., Mylan Inc., and
`
`Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc. were named defendants.
`
`3.
`
`Mylan N.V., Mylan Inc., and Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc. agree that, solely for
`
`purposes of this Action, they will not contest venue or personal jurisdiction in this Court with
`
`respect to enforcing any such judgment, order, and/or decision against them related to the
`
`Action.
`
`4.
`
`Mylan GmbH agrees not to withhold otherwise discoverable material or
`
`information in the Action that is proportional to the needs of the case solely on the basis that it is
`
`in the possession, custody, or control of Mylan N.V., Mylan Inc., and/or Mylan Pharmaceuticals
`
`Inc. For the avoidance of doubt, Mylan GmbH will search for documents, witnesses, and
`
`information of Mylan N.V., Mylan Inc., and Mylan Pharmaceuticals, and will produce such
`
`documents, witnesses, and information that is discoverable and proportional to the needs of the
`
`case.

`
`7.
`
`Each party shall be responsible for its own attorneys’ fees and costs with respect
`
`to the dismissed claims and counterclaims.
`
`8.
`
`The parties hereby agree to jointly request the Court to schedule trial in the Action
`
`in October 2019. The parties hereby further agree to meet-and-confer as the case progresses and
`
`to jointly approach the Court to request a September 2019 trial date should the parties mutually
`
`agree that the case can be ready for trial then, and should there otherwise be no conflicts with
`
`such an earlier trial date.
`
`9.
`
`The terms of this stipulation are made without prejudice to the respective
`
`positions of Sanofi and Defendants as to whether Mylan N.V., Mylan Inc., and Mylan
`
`Pharmaceuticals Inc. are proper defendants in the Action or whether venue is improper.
`
`10.
`
`Upon entry of the stipulation, Defendants’ motion to dismiss (ECF No. 10) and
`
`related papers are withdrawn as moot.
`
`11. Mylan GmbH agrees to not challenge venue in this District for this Action for the
`
`duration of this Action and any appeals therefrom.
`
