`
`THE COURT: We're on the record in Sanofi versus
`Mylan, 17-9105. It's 1:46 on August 2nd, 2018.
`Starting with plaintiff, let's have appearances.
`MS. WALSH: Good afternoon, Your Honor, appearing
`on behalf of Sanofi, Liza Walsh, Christine Gannon, Katelyn
`O'Reilly, and my cocounsel from Weil Gotshal, Elizabeth
`Weiswasser, Robert Vlasis, Sutton Ansley. And also on the
`line with us is Stephanie Donahue from Sanofi.
`THE COURT: Oh, okay. Good.
`Defendants.
`MR. CALMANN: Hello, Your Honor. For Mylan, this
`is Arnie Calmann. And with me is my colleague Katherine
`Escanlar. And my cocounsel who will identify themselves.
`MR. CARSTEN: Good afternoon, Your Honor, this is
`Doug Carsten. Along with me on the line is Art Dykhuis and
`Ellie Steiner.
`THE COURT: Okay. So I have the July 30th letter
`by Ms. Walsh, and then I just got Mr. Calmann's response.
`Actually, I think it came in yesterday.
`And Mylan's still working on it in terms of the
`information?
`MR. CARSTEN: Thank Your Honor. This is --
`THE COURT: Go ahead.

`
`MR. CARSTEN: I'm sorry?
`THE COURT: Go ahead.
`MR. CARSTEN: Thank you, Your Honor. This is Doug
`
`Carsten.
`
`Well, first, with respect to the July 30th letter,
`we actually take a fair bit of issue with the -- and content
`of it. And I don't believe that the letter we sent in
`yesterday is a direct response. Rather, I didn't think it
`was fruitful for us to engage in a back and forth on things
`that I think are irrelevant. I think what was most useful
`for Your Honor was to see where the parties are.
`Where last we left our heros, Your Honor, on
`July 12th, we left you, and you had asked me to provide -- to
`investigate some questions. I have done that. And we are
`prepared to address each one of the Court's issues.
`In addition to that, I believe the purpose of the
`call was also to talk about the schedule, and obviously,
`Ms. Walsh or whomever at plaintiff can correct me if I'm
`speaking out of turn, but I think there have been some
`fruitful meet-and-confers in the last couple of days on the
`schedule. I don't believe that either party's going to press
`you today for entry into either one of the competing
`proposals that you've seen because there has been some -- I
`would say some optimism among the parties that we can get
`together on -- on some of the dates in question. And I think

`
`it would be premature for us to press you for a -- for entry
`of a schedule today.
`I will say that there was been a little bit of a
`hiccup in the sense that notwithstanding Biocon's presence
`clearly from the documents at the outset of the case,
`plaintiff has waited until a month ago or so to bring them
`into the case. And we identified, in an effort to push
`things along, the limited number of additional things that
`they would be raising -- if Biocon was a new party -- would
`be raising in their contentions.
`And we received notice last night, I believe, if
`not the day before, that Sanofi would be requiring up to 45
`days to respond to these -- a handful of references and one
`noninfringe- -- I'm sorry -- one invalidity argument premised
`upon their own label, which the label's been in the case
`since day one. So that might cause a little bit of a hiccup.
`But I'm optimistic that, nevertheless, on the
`scheduling front that we can -- we can reach some agreements
`that maintain that agreement that we had all along to
`preserve the October 29th --
`THE COURT: Right.
`MR. CARSTEN: -- 2019 trial date.
`THE COURT: Okay. Keep -- keep trying to resolve
`
`that.
