`
`On June 19, 2020, Novartis Pharma AG, Novartis Pharmaceuticals
`
`Corporation, and Novartis Technology LLC filed a complaint at the U.S.
`
`International Trade Commission alleging that Petitioner infringes claims 1-6 and
`
`11-26 of U.S. Patent No. 9,220,631 (the ’631 Patent), and that a domestic industry
`
`exists with respect to claims 1-10 and 14-26 of the ’631 Patent. On the same day,
`
`Novartis Pharma AG, Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation, and Novartis
`
`Technology LLC filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the
`
`Northern District of New York alleging that Petitioner infringes at least claim 1 of
`
`the ’631 Patent (N.D.N.Y. 1:20-cv-00690-TJM-CFH).
`
`On July 16, 2020, Petitioner filed the following petitions for inter partes
`
`review against the ’631 Patent: IPR2020-01317 and IPR2020-01318.
`
`
`
`On July 17, 2020, Petitioner filed a complaint in the United States District
`
`Court for the Southern District of New York against Novartis Pharma AG,
`
`Novartis Technology LLC, Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation (collectively
`
`“Novartis”), and Vetter Pharma International GmbH (“Vetter”) (S.D.N.Y. 1:20-cv-
`
`
`
`

`
`

`

`00502-AJN). The complaint seeks judgment that (i) Novartis’s and Vetter’s
`
`conduct violates Section 1 of the Sherman Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1; (ii) Novartis’s
`
`conduct violates Section 2 of the Sherman Act, 15 U.S.C. § 2; and (iii) the ’631

`Patent be declared unenforceable. The complaint also seeks damages and
`
`injunctive relief restraining and enjoining Novartis and Vetter from continuing the
`
`unlawful conduct in violation of the Sherman Act.
