`
`Proposed ANDA Product throughout the United States, including in this Judicial District, and
`
`will derive substantial revenue therefrom.

`
`for cabazitaxel injection, 60 mg/ 1.5 mL (40 mg/mL), which is prescribed and sold in the United

`
`CLAIMS FOR RELIEF  PATENT INFRINGEMENT
`
`31.
`
`On information and belief, Apotex Inc. submitted the Apotex ANDA to
`
`the FDA seeking approval to engage in the commercial manufacture, use, offer for sale, sale,
`
`and/or importation of Apotex’s Proposed ANDA Product.
`
`32.
`
`On information and belief, the Apotex ANDA seeks FDA approval of
`
`Apotex’s Proposed ANDA Product for use in combination with prednisone for the treatment of
`
`patients with hormone-refractory metastatic prostate cancer previously treated with a docetaxel-
`
`containing treatment regimen.
`
`33.
`
`On information and belief, Apotex Inc. actively collaborated with Apotex
`
`Corp. and/or participated in and/or directed activities related to the submission of the Apotex
`
`ANDA and the development of Apotex’s Proposed ANDA Product, was actively involved in
`
`preparing the ANDA, and/or intends to directly benefit from and has a financial stake in the
`
`approval of the ANDA. On information and belief, upon approval of the Apotex ANDA, Apotex
`
`Inc. will be involved in the manufacture, distribution, and/or marketing of Apotex’s Proposed
`
`ANDA Product.
`
`34.
`
`On information and belief, Apotex Corp. actively collaborated with
`
`Apotex Inc. and/or participated in and/or directed activities related to the submission of the

`
`
`
`Apotex ANDA and the development of Apotex’s Proposed ANDA Product, was actively
`
`involved in preparing the ANDA, and/or intends to directly benefit from and has a financial stake
`
`in the approval of the ANDA. On information and belief, upon approval of the Apotex ANDA,
`
`Apotex Corp. will be involved in the manufacture, distribution, and/or marketing of Apotex’s
`
`Proposed ANDA Product.
`
`35.
`
`By letter dated December 4, 2014 (the “December 4 Letter”), and pursuant
`
`to 21 U.S.C. § 355(j)(2)(B)(ii) and 21 C.F.R. §314.95, Apotex Inc. notified Plaintiffs that it had
`
`submitted to the FDA the Apotex ANDA, seeking approval to engage in the commercial
`
`manufacture, use, or sale of Apotex’s Proposed ANDA Product before the expiration of the ’170
`
`patent and the ’907 patent. The December 4 Letter was received by Plaintiffs on December 5,
`
`2014.
`
`36.
`
`In its December 4 Letter, Apotex Inc. notified Plaintiffs, as part of the
`
`Apotex ANDA,
`
`it had filed a certification of the type described
`
`in 21 U.S.C. §
`
`355(j)(2)(A)(vii)(IV) (a “Paragraph IV Certification”) with respect to the ’170 patent and the
`
`’907 patent. On information and belief, Apotex Inc. certified that, the ’170 patent and the ’907
`
`patent are invalid, unenforceable and/or will not be infringed by the manufacture, use or sale of
`
`Apotex’s Proposed ANDA Product.
`
`37.
`
`The Apotex ANDA refers to and relies upon the Sanofi U.S.’s NDA No.
`
`201023 for JEVTANA®.
`
`38.
`
`In the December 4 Letter, Apotex offered confidential access to portions
`
`of the Apotex ANDA on terms and conditions set forth in paragraph 2 of the December 4 Letter
`
`(“Apotex Offer”). Apotex requested that Plaintiffs accept the Apotex Offer before receiving
`
`access to any portion of the Apotex ANDA. The Apotex Offer contained unreasonable
`
`
`

`
`

`
`Case 3:15-cv-00287-MAS-LHG Document 1 Filed 01/14/15 Page 10 of 50 PageID: 10
`
`
`restrictions that would apply under a protective order. For example, the Apotex Offer required
`
`that Plaintiffs’ outside counsel do not engage, formally or informally, in any patent prosecution
`
`or any FDA counseling, litigation or other work before or involving the FDA on behalf of
`
`Plaintiffs.
`
`39.
`
`Under 21 U.S.C. § 355(j)(5)(C)(i)(III), an “offer of confidential access
`
`shall contain such restrictions . . . on the use and disposition of any information accessed, as
`
`would apply had a protective order been entered for the purpose of protecting trade secrets and
`
`other confidential business information.”
`
`40.
`
`Since rejecting the Apotex Offer, Plaintiffs attempted to negotiate with
`
`Apotex to obtain a copy of excerpts of the Apotex ANDA under restrictions “as would apply had
`
`a protective order been issued.” Those negotiations were unsuccessful. For example, Apotex’s
`
`final proposal continued to unreasonably impose patent prosecution and FDA restrictions on
`
`Plaintiffs’ outside counsel.
`
`41.
`
`Plaintiffs are not aware of any other means of obtaining information
`
`regarding Apotex’s Proposed ANDA Product within the 45-day statutory period. Without such
`
`information, Plaintiffs will use the judicial process and the aid of discovery to obtain, under
`
`appropriate judicial safeguards such information as is required to confirm its allegations of
`
`infringement and to present to the Court evidence that Apotex’s Proposed ANDA Product falls
`
`within the scope of one or more claims of the ’170 and ’907 patents.

`
`
`43.
`
`By submitting the Apotex ANDA under 21 U.S.C. § 355(j) for the purpose
`
`of obtaining approval to engage in the commercial manufacture, use or sale of Apotex’s
`
`Proposed ANDA Product throughout the United States prior to the expiration of the ’170 patent,
`
`Defendants committed an act of infringement of the ’170 patent under 35 U.S.C. § 271(e)(2). On
`
`information and belief, Defendants were aware of the ’170 patent at the time the Apotex ANDA
`
`was submitted.
`
`44.
`
`If Defendants commercially make, use, offer to sell, or sell Apotex’s
`
`Proposed ANDA Product within the United States, or import Apotex’s Proposed ANDA Product
`
`into the United States, or induce or contribute to any such conduct during the term of the ’170
`
`patent, they would further infringe the ’170 patent under 35 U.S.C. §§ 271(a), (b), and/or (c).
`
`45.
`
`Plaintiffs will be irreparably harmed if Defendants are not enjoined from
`
`infringing the ’170 patent. Plaintiffs do not have an adequate remedy at law.
`
`46.
`
`Apotex Inc.’s certification under 21 U.S.C. § 355(j)(2)(A)(vii)(IV) against
`
`the ’170 patent was wholly unjustified, and thus this case is exceptional under 35 U.S.C. § 285.

`

`
`of obtaining approval to engage in the commercial manufacture, use or sale of Apotex’s
`
`Proposed ANDA Product throughout the United States prior to the expiration of the ’907 patent,
`
`Defendants committed an act of infringement of the ’907 patent under 35 U.S.C. § 271(e)(2). On

`
`Plaintiffs will be irreparably harmed if Defendants are not enjoined from

`
`Apotex Inc.’s certification under 21 U.S.C. § 355(j)(2)(A)(vii)(IV) against

`
`PRAYER FOR RELIEF
`
`WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs respectfully request the following relief:
`
`A.
`
`A judgment that Defendants have infringed one or more claims of the ’170
`
`patent by filing ANDA No. 207736 relating to Apotex’s Proposed ANDA Product before the
`
`expiration of the ’170 patent;
`
`B.
