`
`18.
`
`This Court has personal jurisdiction over Zydus USA by virtue of, inter alia, its
`
`systematic and continuous contacts with the State of New Jersey. On information and belief,
`
`Zydus USA’s principal place of business is in Pennington, New Jersey. On information and
`
`belief, Zydus USA is registered with the State of New Jersey’s Division of Revenue and
`
`Enterprise Services as a business operating in New Jersey under Business Id. No. 0100915422.
`
`On information and belief, Zydus USA is registered with the State of New Jersey’s Department
`
`of Health as a wholesaler under Registration No. 5003171. On information and belief, Zydus
`
`USA purposefully has conducted and continues to conduct business in this Judicial District. On
`
`information and belief, Zydus USA is a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the
`
`State of New Jersey. By virtue of its incorporation in New Jersey, this Court has personal
`
`jurisdiction over Zydus USA.
`
`19.
`
`On information and belief, Zydus USA is in the business of, among other
`
`things, manufacturing, marketing, importing, offering for sale, and selling pharmaceutical
`
`products, including generic drug products, throughout the United States, including in this
`
`Judicial District. This Judicial District is a likely destination for the generic drug product
`
`described in Zydus’s ANDA. On information and belief, Zydus USA also prepares and/or aids
`
`in the preparation and submission of ANDAs to the FDA.
`
`20.
`
`This Court has personal jurisdiction over Cadila Healthcare Limited and Zydus
`
`International Pvt. Ltd. because, inter alia, they: (1) have purposely availed themselves of the
`
`privilege of doing business in New Jersey, including directly or indirectly through their
`
`subsidiary, agent, and/or alter ego, Zydus Pharmaceuticals (USA) Inc., a company incorporated

`
`in New Jersey, with its principal place of business in New Jersey; and (2) maintain extensive and
`
`systematic contacts with the State of New Jersey, including the marketing, distribution, and/or
`
`sale of generic pharmaceutical drugs in New Jersey including through, directly or indirectly,
`
`Zydus Pharmaceuticals (USA) Inc.
`
`21.
`
`This Court has personal jurisdiction over Zydus because, inter alia, it has
`
`committed an act of patent infringement under 35 U.S.C. § 271(e)(2), and has sent notice of that
`
`infringement to Celgene in the State of New Jersey. On information and belief, Zydus intends a
`
`future course of conduct that includes acts of patent infringement in New Jersey. These acts
`
`have led and will continue to lead to foreseeable harm and injury to Celgene in New Jersey and
`
`in this Judicial District.
`
`22.
`

`
`the global market,” and that “[t]he Company is present in the [US] generic pharmaceuticals
`
`market through its wholly owned subsidiary, Zydus Pharmaceuticals (USA) Inc.” Cadila
`
`Healthcare Limited Annual Report 2015-16 (“Zydus Cadila Annual Report”) at 9. The Zydus

`Report further states that “[g]oing forward, the Company’s focus will continue to be on
`
`launching complex, difficult-to-make oral solids and formulations of other dosage forms like

`
`is-zydus/, states that Zydus Pharmaceuticals (USA) Inc. “is the U.S. division of Cadila
`
`Healthcare.”
`
`24.
`
`On information and belief, Zydus USA, Zydus International, and/or Zydus
`
`Cadila work in concert either directly or indirectly through one or more of their wholly owned
`
`subsidiaries with respect to the regulatory approval, manufacturing, marketing, sale, and
`
`distribution of generic pharmaceutical products throughout the United States, including in this
`
`Judicial District.

`On information and belief, Zydus Pharmaceuticals (USA) Inc. and Cadila
`
`Healthcare Limited have previously been sued in this Judicial District and have not challenged
`
`personal jurisdiction. See, e.g., Helsinn Healthcare S.A. v. Zydus Pharms. (USA) Inc. and Cadila

`
`Zydus Pharmaceuticals (USA) Inc. has also admitted that it is subject to
`
`personal jurisdiction in this Judicial District. See, e.g., Takeda Pharm. Co. Ltd., et al. v. Zydus

`

`
`Zydus Pharmaceuticals (USA) Inc. and Cadila Healthcare Limited have further
`
`availed themselves of the jurisdiction of this Court by previously initiating litigation in this
`
`Judicial District. See, e.g., Zydus Pharms. (USA) Inc. and Cadila Healthcare Ltd. v. Gilead
`
`Scis., Inc., No. 14-7080 (FLW)(LHG) (D.N.J.). Zydus Pharmaceuticals (USA) Inc. has further
`
`availed itself of the jurisdiction of this Court by previously initiating litigation in this Judicial
`
`District. See, e.g., Zydus Pharms. USA, Inc. v. Eli Lilly and Co., No. 10-5584 (DMC)(JAD)
`
`(D.N.J.).
`

`
`Venue is proper in this Judicial District pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1391 and
`
`1400(b).
`
`Acts Giving Rise To This Suit
`
`31.
`
`Pursuant to Section 505 of the FFDCA, Zydus filed Zydus’s ANDA seeking
`
`approval to engage in the commercial manufacture, use, sale, offer for sale, or importation into
`
`the United States of lenalidomide capsules 2.5 mg, 5 mg, 10 mg, 15 mg, 20 mg, and 25 mg
`
`(“Zydus’s Proposed Products”), before the patents-in-suit expire.
`
`32.
`
`On information and belief, following FDA approval of Zydus’s ANDA, Zydus
`
`USA, Zydus International, and/or Zydus Cadila will work in concert with one another to make,
`
`- 8 -
`
`
`
`Case 2:17-cv-02528-SDW-LDW Document 1 Filed 04/12/17 Page 9 of 330 PageID: 9
`
`use, sell, or offer to sell Zydus’s Proposed Products throughout the United States, or import such
`
`generic products into the United States.
`
`33.
`
`On information and belief, in connection with the filing of its ANDA as
`
`described above, Zydus provided a written certification to the FDA, as called for by Section 505
`
`of the FFDCA, 21 U.S.C. § 355(j)(2)(A)(vii)(IV) (“Zydus’s Paragraph IV Certification”),
`
`alleging that the claims of the patents-in-suit are invalid, unenforceable, and/or will not be
`
`infringed by the activities described in Zydus’s ANDA.
`
`34.
`
`No earlier than February 27, 2017, Zydus sent written notice of its Paragraph IV
`
`Certification to Celgene (“Zydus’s Notice Letter”). Zydus’s Notice Letter alleged that the claims
`
`of the patents-in-suit are invalid and/or will not be infringed by the activities described in
`
`Zydus’s ANDA. Zydus’s Notice Letter also informed Celgene that Zydus seeks approval to
`
`market Zydus’s Proposed Products before the patents-in-suit expire. Zydus specifically directed
`
`Zydus’s Notice Letter to Celgene’s headquarters in Summit, New Jersey, in this Judicial District.
`
`Count I: Infringement of the ’800 Patent
`
`35.
`
`Celgene repeats and realleges the allegations of the preceding paragraphs as if
`
`fully set forth herein.
`
`36.
`
`Zydus’s submission of its ANDA to engage in the commercial manufacture,
`
`use, sale, offer for sale, or importation into the United States of Zydus’s Proposed Products, prior
`
`to the expiration of the ’800 patent, constitutes infringement of one or more of the claims of that
`
`patent under 35 U.S.C. § 271(e)(2)(A).
`
`37.
`
`There is a justiciable controversy between the parties hereto as to the
`
`infringement of the ’800 patent.

`
`38.
`
`Unless enjoined by this Court, upon FDA approval of Zydus’s ANDA, Zydus
`
`will infringe one or more claims of the ’800 patent under 35 U.S.C. § 271(a) by making, using,

`Unless enjoined by this Court, upon FDA approval of Zydus’s ANDA, Zydus
`

`
`making, using, offering to sell, selling, and/or importing Zydus’s Proposed Products in the
`
`United States. On information and belief, upon FDA approval of Zydus’s ANDA, Zydus will
`
`intentionally encourage acts of direct infringement with knowledge of the ’800 patent and
`
`knowledge that its acts are encouraging infringement.
`
`40.
`
`Unless enjoined by this Court, upon FDA approval of Zydus’s ANDA, Zydus
`
`will contributorily infringe one or more claims of the ’800 patent under 35 U.S.C. § 271(c) by
`
`making, using, offering to sell, selling, and/or importing Zydus’s Proposed Products in the
`
`United States. On information and belief, Zydus has had and continues to have knowledge that
`
`Zydus’s Proposed Products are especially adapted for a use that infringes one or more claims of
`
`the ’800 patent and that there is no substantial non-infringing use for Zydus’s Proposed Products.
`
`41.
`
`Celgene will be substantially and irreparably damaged and harmed if Zydus’s
`
`infringement of the ’800 patent is not enjoined.
`
`42.
`
`43.
`
`Celgene does not have an adequate remedy at law.
`
`This case is an exceptional one, and Celgene is entitled to an award of its
`
`reasonable attorneys’ fees under 35 U.S.C. § 285.
