`
`joined with IPR2022-01226. U.S. Patent No. 10,888,601 is also being challenged
`
`
`
`1
`
`
`
`IPR2024-00260

`
`Pharmaceuticals Inc. v. Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Case No. IPR2022-
`
`01225 (P.T.A.B.) and in Celltrion, Inc. v. Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Case

`
`Related U.S. Patent Nos. 9,669,069 and 9,254,338 were challenged in Mylan

`
`IPR2021-00880 was joined with IPR2022-00257 and IPR2022-00301. IPR2021-
`
`00881 was joined with IPR2022-00258 and IPR2022-00298. Patent Owner has
`
`appealed the Board’s decisions in those cases to the Federal Circuit, in Regeneron
`
`Pharmaceuticals, Inc. v. Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc., No. 2023-1395 (Fed. Cir.)

`
