`
`Pursuant to Rules 26 and Rule 45 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure,
`
`third party Indivior, Inc. (“Indivior”), through its counsel of record, hereby objects
`
`to Defendants Teva Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Teva Pharmaceuticals Industries,

`

`Ltd.’s Subpoena to Produce Documents, dated January 11, 2019 (“Third Party
`
`Subpoena”).
`
`GENERAL OBJECTIONS
`
`Indivior asserts the following General Objections to the Third Party
`
`Subpoena:
`
`1.
`
`Indivior objects to the Definitions and Instructions set forth in the
`
`Third Party Subpoena to the extent that they fail to comply with, or seek to impose
`
`obligations in excess of, the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure or any applicable
`
`local rules or court orders.
`
`2.
`
`Indivior objects to the Definitions set forth in the Third Party
`
`Subpoena to the extent that they make any individual request vague, ambiguous, or
`
`unintelligible, and/or not susceptible to any single meaning. Any term defined in
`
`the Third Party Subpoena that Indivior does not object to shall not be construed to
`
`mean that Indivior understands and/or agrees with the Definition.
`
`3.
`
`Indivior objects to the timing of the Third Party Subpoena’s requested
`
`production. Indivior also objects to any copying or sampling of produced material
`
`except as reasonably necessary to litigate issues relevant to the litigation.
`
`4.
`
`Indivior objects to the Third Party Subpoena to the extent that it seeks
`
`information protected by the attorney-client privilege, work-product immunity, or
`
`any other applicable privilege or immunity. Indivior has expressly stated privilege
`
`- 2 -
`
`Opiant Exhibit 2195
`Nalox-1 Pharmaceuticals, LLC v. Opiant Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
`IPR2019-00694
`Page 2
`
`

`

`objections to each document request that, in Indivior’s view, can be reasonably
`
`interpreted to encompass privileged information. To the extent that any other
`
`document request may encompass privileged information, however, Indivior
`
`hereby incorporates this General Objection.
`
`5.
`
`Indivior objects to each document request as overly broad and unduly
`
`burdensome to the extent that it seeks information that is neither relevant to the
`
`subject matter of the present action nor proportional to the needs of the case.
`
`6.
`
`Indivior objects to each request to the extent it seeks the identification
`
`of “all documents” or “all information” concerning a particular subject on the
`
`grounds that Indivior could not possibly represent that its responses reflect or
`
`include “all” potentially responsive documents located anywhere within its
`
`possession, custody, or control, as that would require it to undertake an
`
`unreasonably broad search. Indivior objects to performing searches and responses
`
`of such breadth on the grounds of undue burden and expense.
`
`7.
`
`Indivior objects to the Third Party Subpoena to the extent that it seeks
`
`documents that are not within Indivior’s possession, custody, or control, or
`
`requests that Indivior create documents that are not currently in Indivior’s
`
`possession. By responding to the Third Party Subpoena, Indivior does not
`
`represent that it knows or is otherwise in possession of any relevant information or
`
`documents.

`
`

`

`8.
`
`Indivior objects to the Third Party Subpoena to the extent that it
`
`purports to require Indivior to reach legal conclusions about any document.
`
`9.
`
`Indivior objects to each document request to the extent it seeks
`
`disclosure of Indivior’s highly confidential and/or proprietary information without
`
`regard for the potential commercial risk to Indivior associated with such disclosure
`
`and/or the relative necessity (or lack thereof) of such information to the underlying
`
`action. Indivior further objects to the Third Party Subpoena to the extent that the
`
`Discovery Confidentiality Order [DI 40] in the underlying action is insufficient to
`
`protect Indivior’s highly confidential and/or proprietary information from the risk
`
`of subsequent disclosure or use.
`
`10.
`
`Indivior objects to each request to the extent it seeks information
`
`and/or documents and things that are subject to one or more confidentiality
`
`agreements with non-parties to this action, which agreements restrict its ability to
`
`disclose such information and/or documents and things.
`
`The foregoing General Objections shall be deemed continuous throughout
`
`and are hereby incorporated by reference in the Responses set forth below.
