`
`
`IN RE: AFLIBERCEPT PATENT LITIGATION
`
`
`IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
`FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF WEST VIRGINIA
`
`
`
`
`MDL No.: 1:24-md-3103-TSK
`
`
`
`
`THIS DOCUMENT RELATES TO
`ALL CASES
`
`
`
`JOINT SUBMISSION IN RESPONSE TO MAY 20, 2024 ORDER
`
`On May 20, 2024, the Court ordered the parties to file submissions of no more than 20
`
`pages “indicating which matters are appropriate for collective pretrial consideration and
`
`disposition while the case is designated as an MDL.” ECF No. 112. The parties conferred on
`
`May 28, 2024, and reached substantial agreement with respect to these issues, as set forth below.
`
`The remaining areas of disagreement are provided in the below party-specific sections.
`
`Consistent with the Court’s Order, the parties have also attached to this submission all filings
`
`submitted to the Judicial Panel for Multidistrict Litigation.
`
`I.
`
`The Parties’ Proposal
`
`The member cases of MDL No. 3103 are currently consolidated for pretrial proceedings.
`
`The parties agree that those pretrial proceedings should include (1) resolution of all pending
`
`personal jurisdictional motions, (2) the resolution of all motions for preliminary injunction or
`
`temporary restraining order; (3) the completion of fact and expert discovery, including the
`
`adjudication of any related motion practice; (4) resolution of all claim construction (“Markman”)
`
`proceedings, (5) case management to administer the proceeding by ordering, for example, case
`
`narrowing as appropriate; and (6) resolution of dispositive motions.
`
`

`

`Case 1:24-cv-00053-TSK Document 16 Filed 05/31/24 Page 2 of 14 PageID #: 1082
`
`
`
`The parties propose that the Court schedule bimonthly conferences (i.e., every two
`
`months) to address the conduct and status of the pretrial proceedings. Such conferences are
`
`recommended by Fed. Judicial Ctr., Manual for Complex Litigation (4th ed., 2004) at Section
`
`11.22. The parties propose submitting joint, non-argumentative status reports at least one week
`
`prior to each scheduled conference that include a progress report and a proposed agenda of items
`
`to be addressed at the conference. If there are no agenda items to address, then the conference
`
`could be canceled at the Court’s discretion.
`
`The parties suggest that it is not necessary at this time for the court to determine whether
`
`it will decide other pretrial motions, and suggest that issue be addressed at a bi-monthly
`
`conference after completion of discovery.
`
`The parties also agree that any case for which the transferor court is not the Northern
`
`District of West Virginia—including the “Amgen Case” (Case No. 24-cv-39-TSK) and any case
`
`dismissed or transferred to another venue for lack of personal jurisdiction—may be remanded for
`
`trial before a final pretrial order is entered and a final pretrial conference is held in all member
`
`cases remaining in the Northern District of West Virginia.
`
`Mylan/Biocon’s Position
`
`Biocon Biologics, Inc. (“Biocon”) and Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“Mylan”) consent to
`
`consolidation and collective disposition of the member cases for all pretrial proceedings as noted
`
`above, to the extent that the Court is inclined to enter a schedule with a trial in summer/fall of
`
`2025 as requested by one or more of the MDL Defendants. However, as noted in their May 10,
`
`2024 position statement, Biocon and Mylan are uniquely situated compared to the other MDL
`
`Defendants, so to the extent the Court is inclined to enter Regeneron’s requested schedule (July
`
`2026 trial) with regard to the other Defendants, then Biocon and Mylan would request a separate
`
`
`

`
`

`

`Case 1:24-cv-00053-TSK Document 16 Filed 05/31/24 Page 3 of 14 PageID #: 1083
`
`
`
`track, and entry of the schedule proposed by Biocon and Mylan in their May 10 submission,
`
`which contemplates trial in September 2025, or as close to that proposed trial date as the Court’s
`
`schedule allows. Separate tracks are common in MDL proceedings. See, e.g., In re: Nat’l
`
`Prescription Opiate Litig., MDL No. 2804, 1:17-md-02804, Dkt. 232, at 6-8 (N.D., Ohio Apr.
`
`11, 2018) (setting different scheduling tracks for differently positioned cases); see also, e.g., In
`
`re EpiPen (Epinephrine Injection, USP) Mktg., Sales Pracs. & Antitrust Litig., MDL No. 2785,
`
`2019 WL 294803, at *6 (D. Kan. Jan. 23, 2019); Fed. Ins. Co. v. 3M Co., Case No. 21-cv-02093,
`
`642 F. Supp. 3d 882, 895-96 (D. Minn. Nov. 23, 2022) (citing In re Vioxx Prods. Liab. Litig.,
`
`360 F. Supp. 2d 1352, 1354 (J.P.M.L. 2005)). Indeed, separate tracks have already been
`
`implemented in this MDL. (See, e.g., MDL Dkts. 136, 144 (ordering any injunction against
`
`Amgen to proceed on a different briefing schedule than the other Defendants’ schedules)).
`
`A separate track is particularly warranted here, where Biocon and Mylan already have
`
`completed an entire litigation, including Markman, fact discovery, expert discovery, and trial, on
`
`a set of Regeneron’s selected patents.
`
`However, even in the event of separate tracks, Biocon and Mylan are not opposed to
`
`consolidation and collective disposition of matters common across all MDL cases, including
`
`with regard to, to the extent possible, holding combined Markman proceedings, coordinating
`
`with other Defendants regarding depositions, matters relating to patent invalidity, and other
`
`discovery issues.
`
`Biocon and Mylan do not have a position as to when the other Defendants’ cases are
`
`remanded to other jurisdictions for trial.

`
`
`
`Regeneron’s Response
`
`Biocon/Mylan (collectively, “Biocon”) reprise their argument –rejected by this Court in
`
`February (No. 1:22-CV-61, Dkt. 698) and by the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation in
`
`April (No. 24-md-3103, Dkt. 1) – that they are uniquely positioned and their case should proceed
`
`on a separate, faster track than co-pending cases against other MDL Defendants. There is no
`
`basis for Biocon’s demand. As adjudged infringers of USP No. 11,084,865 (the “’865 patent”),
`
`which does not expire until June 2027, there is no reason to expedite trial of the remaining
`
`patents against Biocon. Biocon’s proposal would create inefficiencies for the Court and the
`
`parties, needlessly complicate proceedings, and introduce opportunities for inconsistent or
`
`revisited rulings.
`
`First, a large number of the remaining patents in the Biocon case also are asserted against
`
`one or more of the additional MDL Defendants. Indeed, the number of overlapping patents will
`
`only increase before these cases begin in earnest, as Regeneron may file suit against Biocon on
`
`additional patents pursuant to 42 USC § 262(l)(7) (governing patents issuing after certain stages
`
`of the patent dance) to bring that case current with the cases against other Defendants filed at a
`
`later date (and thus after additional patents had issued). Biocon suggests that Regeneron
`
`previously represented that trial on a second wave of patents would not be necessary. Not so.
`
`Regeneron stated that it “d[id] not know exactly what will happen” with the remaining patents,
`
`and explained that “[i]f we prevail on these patents that we’re proposing to move forward with
`
`now . . . then it’s very unlikely that we would feel the need to move forward again with respect to
`
`those other patents.” No. 22-cv-61-TSK, Dkt. 90 at 4-11. While Regeneron did prevail with
`
`respect to the ’865 patent, it did not receive a favorable judgment on later-expiring patents from
`
`the first round of litigation (USP Nos. 10,888,601, 11,253,572, and 11,104,715). Thus, Biocon’s
`
`
`
`4
`
`

`

`Case 1:24-cv-00053-TSK Document 16 Filed 05/31/24 Page 5 of 14 PageID #: 1085
`
`
`
`infringement of additional patents remains an important consideration. Nor can Biocon
`
`unilaterally decree trial on the remaining patents to be unnecessary. “Regeneron does not agree
`
`that its remaining, presumptively valid patents should be dismissed with a wave of the hand.” No.
`
`22-cv-61-TSK, Dkt. 697 at 6-7 (opposing Biocon’s earlier motion for expedited trial). Regardless,
`
`the handful of patents on which Biocon has already obtained a judgment do not outweigh the large
`
`number of common patents that remain to be adjudicated against Biocon and all other
`
`Defendants. Nor do Biocon’s cited cases justify separate tracks on these facts.1
`
`Second, Biocon’s premise that it is differently situated because it already has “completed
`
`an entire litigation, including Markman, fact discovery, expert discovery, and trial,” ignores the
`
`substantial amount of work that remains to be accomplished not only because of the new patents
`
`to be addressed but also because of the narrow scope of the initial phase of the Biocon
`
`litigation. That first phase was limited by the particular issues and parties involved, and the
`
`remaining patents present new and distinct issues. See No. 22-cv-61-TSK, Dkt. 697 at 6-7
`
`(providing examples). Furthermore, Biocon was not joined as a party until the eve of trial
`
`following its acquisition of Mylan’s biosimilars business, and Regeneron has had only limited
`
`opportunities to obtain discovery from Biocon in the context of the present, expedited injunction
`
`proceedings. Much work—including additional fact discovery, claim construction, and expert
`
`discovery—remains to be done.
`
`
`1 See, e.g., In re: Nat’l Prescription Opiate Litig., MDL No. 2804, 1:17-md-02804, Dkt. 232, at 1 (N.D.,
`Ohio Apr. 11, 2018) (creating separate “settlement track” and “litigation track” because parties stated such
`tracks would make settlement more likely); see also, e.g., In re EpiPen (Epinephrine Injection, USP) Mktg.,
`Sales Pracs. & Antitrust Litig., MDL No. 2785, 2019 WL 294803, at *2 (D. Kan. Jan. 23, 2019) (allowing
`Sanofi case to proceed on separate track than consumer class cases because Sanofi, as competitor of
`defendant, filed Sanofi case “only for itself, and not on behalf of any other plaintiffs or putative class
`members,” and did not seek class certification); Fed. Ins. Co. v. 3M Co., Case No. 21-cv-02093, 642 F.
`Supp. 3d 882, 895-96 (D. Minn. Nov. 23, 2022) (stating merely that MDL courts can create separate tracks
`where appropriate).

`
`
`
`Third, proceeding on the same track as other Defendants would not prejudice Biocon. As
`
`the Court previously determined, there is “no urgent need” to schedule a trial on any of the
`
`remaining patents when Biocon are adjudged infringers of the Product Patent, which does not
`
`expire until June 2027. No. 1:22-CV-61, Dkt. 698; No. 24-md-3103, Dkt. 1 at 3. Indeed, Biocon’s
`
`proposed September 2025 trial date appears to be arbitrary, and there is no reason that the Court
`
`need reach a decision on the remaining patents by that illusory deadline. Certainly, there is no
`
`reason why Biocon should need resolution more quickly than other Defendants.
`
`Biocon and Mylan’s Response
`
`Biocon and Mylan briefly respond to Regeneron’s above arguments here.
`
`First, Regeneron previously told this Court that “it’s very unlikely that [it] would feel the
`
`need to move forward again with respect to” the patents remaining in the Biocon/Mylan case after
`
`the first trial. (Dkt. 90, 25:7-11; May 10 Position Statement, at 2-3), directly contradicting its
`
`statements herein. Second, as has been articulated to the Court, the remainder of Regeneron’s
`
`patents have either been held unpatentable at the PTAB, have no good faith for being asserted, or
`
`have serious invalidity issues, which is why they were not chosen by Regeneron for the first trial,
`
`and Regeneron has not shown good cause why any of them can be asserted in a second litigation.
`
`(See, e.g., May 10 Position Statement at 14-15). Discovery on the little that remains, to the extent
`
`litigation even proceeds, will be minimal. In September 2022, Regeneron agreed.2 The threatened
`
`§ 262(l)(7) litigation, which Regeneron raises for the first time, will not substantially impact the
`
`proceedings, as a majority of the (l)(7) patents are either not infringed, or emanate from the same
`
`families already litigated. Third, the timing is critical because although the ‘865 patent does not
`
`
`2 See, e.g., Dkt. 90 at 5 (“We’re . . . much of the way down the runway”).

`
`conclude substantially sooner than 2027. (See, e.g., May 10 Position Statement at 4).
