`RESTASIS® Patents
`
`Sep 8, 2017
`
`The Tribe Is Filing Motion to Dismiss Inter Partes Review of RESTASIS Patents Based on its Sovereign
`
`Immunity
`
`DUBLIN, IRELAND –September 8, 2017– Allergan plc (NYSE: AGN), a leading global pharmaceutical
`
`company, and the Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe today announced that the Tribe now owns all Orange
`
`Book-listed patents for RESTASIS® (Cyclosporine Ophthalmic Emulsion) 0.05%, and that Allergan has
`
`been granted exclusive licenses in the patents related to the product. The Tribe, a recognized
`
`sovereign tribal government, is filing a motion to dismiss the ongoing inter partes review (IPR) of the
`
`RESTASIS® patents based on their sovereign immunity from IPR challenges.The agreement with the
`
`Tribe has no impact on the pending abbreviated new drug application (ANDA) patent litigations
`
`regarding the RESTASIS® patent family which recently completed a five-day trial in Federal District
`
`Court in Marshall, Texas.
`
`“The Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe and its counsel approached Allergan with a sophisticated
`
`opportunity to strengthen the defense of our RESTASIS® intellectual property in the upcoming inter
`
`partes reviewproceedings before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board,” said Bob Bailey, Allergan’s
`
`Chief Legal Officer. “Allergan evaluated this approach closely, with expert counsel in patent and
`
`sovereign immunity law.This included a thorough review of recent case law such as Covidien LP v.
`
`University of Florida Research Foundation Inc.and Neochord, Inc. v. University of Maryland, in which

`
`the PTAB dismissed IPR proceedings against the universities based upon their claims of sovereign
`
`immunity. We are impressed with the Tribe’s thoughtful and enterprising approach, which will allow
`
`them to achieve their goals of self-reliance and help them address the most urgent needs in their
`
`community.”
`
`In a unified statement about the agreement with Allergan, the Saint Regis Mohawk Tribal Council
`
`stated, “This is a viable and sound opportunity for the Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe to enter into the
`
`patent, technology and research sector as part of our overall economic diversification strategy. We
`
`realize that we cannot depend solely on casino revenues and, in order for us to be self-reliant, we
`
`must enter into diverse business sectors to address the chronically unmet needs of the Akwesasne
`
`community; such as housing, employment, education, healthcare, cultural and language
`
`preservation.”
`
`Under the terms of the agreement, the Tribe will receive $13.75 million upon execution of the
`
`agreement. Additionally, the Tribe will be eligible to receive $15 million in annual royalties.
`
`The patents transferred to the Tribe include United States Patent Nos. 8,629,111; 8,633,162;
`
`8,642,556; 8,648,048; 8,685,930 and 9,248,191. The patents are listed in the Orange Book for
`
`RESTASIS® and expire on August 27, 2024.
