`
`
`JOINT MOTION FOR STATUS CONFERENCE REGARDING THE MAY 2, 2024
`PERMANENT AND PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION HEARINGS
`
`Plaintiff Regeneron Pharmaceuticals,
`
`Inc.
`
`(“Plaintiff”) and Defendants Mylan
`
`Pharmaceuticals Inc., Biocon Biologics Inc., Formycon AG, Celltrion, Inc. and Samsung Bioepis,
`
`Co., Ltd. (collectively, “Defendants”) request a status conference to discuss the logistics of the
`
`injunction hearings scheduled for May 2, 2024, including the length of the time of the hearings,
`
`and the Court’s preferences for the presentation of argument. During the hearings, the Court is
`
`scheduled to hear Regeneron’s preliminary injunction motions against certain Defendants in their
`
`respective cases at 10:00 am. (See C.A. No. 1:23-cv-00097 (N.D. W. Va.), Dkt. 45; C.A. No.
`
`1:23-cv-00094 (N.D. W. Va.), Dkt. 69; C.A. No. 1:23-cv-00106 (N.D. W. Va.), Dkt. 40; C.A. No.
`
`1:23-cv-00089 (N.D. W. Va.), Dkt. 61.) The Court is also scheduled to hear Regeneron’s
`
`permanent injunction motion against Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc. and Biocon Biologics Inc. on
`
`May 2, 2024. (See C.A. No. 1:22-cv-00061 (N.D. W. Va.), Dkt. 717.)
`
`The parties have conferred and agree that in view of confidentiality concerns, the hearings
`
`against each Defendant should proceed separately and sequentially. The parties respectfully
`
`request a status conference to clarify the order and timing of proceedings so that the parties may
`
`prepare consistent with the Court’s expectations.
