`
`13.
`
`This Court has jurisdiction over the subject matter of this action pursuant
`
`to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1331 and 1338(a).
`
`14.
`
`Venue is proper in this judicial district pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1391 and
`
`§ 1400(b).
`
`Mylan Labs
`
`15.
`
`This Court has personal jurisdiction over Mylan Labs because, inter alia,
`
`Mylan Labs has committed an act of patent infringement under 35 U.S.C. § 271(e)(2) and
`
`intends a future course of conduct that includes acts of patent infringement in New Jersey. These
`
`acts have led and will lead to foreseeable harm and injury to Plaintiffs in New Jersey. For
`
`example, on information and belief, following approval of ANDA No. 213124, Mylan Labs will,
`
`directly or through its affiliates Mylan Pharmaceuticals and/or Mylan Institutional, make, use,
`
`import, sell, and/or offer for sale its proposed generic versions of JPI’s Invega Sustenna® brand
`
`products in the United States, including in New Jersey, prior to the expiration of the ’906 Patent.
`
`16.
`
`Exercising personal jurisdiction over Mylan Labs in this district would not
`
`be unreasonable given Mylan Labs’ contacts in this district and the interest in this district of
`
`resolving disputes related to products to be sold herein.
`
`17.
`
`This Court also has personal jurisdiction over Mylan Labs because Mylan
`
`Labs has purposefully availed itself of the rights and benefits of New Jersey law by engaging in
`
`systematic and continuous contacts with the State of New Jersey. On information and belief,
`
`Mylan Labs regularly and continuously transacts business within New Jersey, either directly or
`
`through its affiliates—including Mylan Pharmaceuticals and Mylan Institutional—including by
`
`selling pharmaceutical products in New Jersey. On information and belief, Mylan Labs derives
`
`substantial revenue from the sale of those products in New Jersey and has availed itself of the
`
`privilege of conducting business within New Jersey.

`
`18.
`
`On information and belief, Mylan Labs, either directly or indirectly
`
`through Mylan Institutional or Mylan Pharmaceuticals, is in the business of formulating,
`
`manufacturing, marketing, and selling generic prescription pharmaceutical drugs that it
`
`distributes in New Jersey and throughout the United States.
`
`19.
`
`This Court also has personal jurisdiction over Mylan Labs because, inter
`
`alia, this action arises from the actions of Mylan Labs directed toward New Jersey. For
`
`example, Mylan Labs’ counsel sent a letter dated June 28, 2019 to JPI, a corporation with its
`
`principal place of business in this Judicial District, stating that Mylan Labs had submitted ANDA
`
`No. 213124 seeking approval to commercially manufacture, use, sell, offer for sale, and/or
`
`import its proposed generic versions of JPI’s Invega Sustenna® brand products prior to the
`
`expiration of the ’906 Patent. If Mylan Labs succeeds in obtaining FDA approval, it would sell
`
`its proposed generic versions of JPI’s Invega Sustenna® brand products in New Jersey and other
`
`states, either directly or through its affiliates Mylan Pharmaceuticals and/or Mylan Institutional,
`
`causing injury to Plaintiffs in New Jersey.
`
`20. Mylan Labs has conceded that venue is proper over Mylan Labs in patent
`
`cases in this Judicial District in at least the following District of New Jersey action: Valeant
`
`Pharmaceuticals et al. v. Mylan Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Civil Action No. 18-cv-14305.
`
`21. Mylan Labs has consented to or did not contest the jurisdiction of this
`
`Court in at least the following District of New Jersey actions: Valeant Pharmaceuticals
`
`International, Inc. et al. v. Mylan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. et al., Civil Action No. 2:15-cv-8180;
`
`Baxter Healthcare Corp., et al. v. Agila Specialties Private Limited, et al., Civil Action No. 1:14-

`
`3:13-cv-4022.
`
`22.
`
`In the alternative, this Court has personal jurisdiction over Mylan Labs
`
`because the requirements of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(k)(2)(A) are met.
`
`Mylan Institutional
`
`23.
`
`On information and belief, Mylan Institutional, either directly or indirectly
`
`through Mylan Labs and/or Mylan Pharmaceuticals, is in the business of formulating,
`
`manufacturing, marketing, and selling generic prescription pharmaceutical drugs that it
`
`distributes in New Jersey and throughout the United States.
`
`24.
`
`This Court has personal jurisdiction over Mylan Institutional because,
`
`inter alia, Mylan Institutional has committed an act of patent infringement under 35 U.S.C.
`
`§ 271(e)(2) and intends a future course of conduct that includes acts of patent infringement in
`
`New Jersey. These acts have led and will lead to foreseeable harm and injury to Plaintiffs in
`
`New Jersey. For example, on information and belief, following approval of ANDA No. 213124,
`
`Mylan Institutional will, directly or through its affiliates Mylan Pharmaceuticals and/or Mylan
`
`Labs, make, use, import, sell, and/or offer for sale its proposed generic versions of JPI’s Invega
`
`Sustenna® brand products in the United States, including in New Jersey, prior to the expiration
`
`of the ’906 Patent.
`
`25.
`
`Exercising personal jurisdiction over Mylan Institutional in this district
`
`would not be unreasonable given Mylan Institutional’s contacts in this district and the interest in
`
`this district of resolving disputes related to products to be sold herein.
`
`26.
`
`This Court also has personal jurisdiction over Mylan Institutional because
`
`Mylan Institutional has purposefully availed itself of the rights and benefits of New Jersey law
`
`by engaging in systematic and continuous contacts with the State of New Jersey. On information

`
`and belief, Mylan Institutional regularly and continuously transacts business within New Jersey,
`
`either directly or through its affiliates—including Mylan Pharmaceuticals and Mylan Labs—
`
`including by selling pharmaceutical products in New Jersey. On information and belief, Mylan
`
`Institutional derives substantial revenue from the sale of those products in New Jersey and has
`
`availed itself of the privilege of conducting business within New Jersey.
`
`27.
`
`On information and belief, Mylan Institutional has substantial, continuous
`
`and systematic contacts with New Jersey, is registered to do business in New Jersey, has
`
`appointed a registered agent in New Jersey for receipt of service of process, and is registered as a
`
`drug manufacturer and wholesaler in New Jersey.
`
`28.
`
`This Court also has personal jurisdiction over Mylan Institutional because,
`
`inter alia, this action arises from the actions of Mylan Institutional directed toward New Jersey,
`
`either directly or through Mylan Labs and/or Mylan Pharmaceuticals. For example, Mylan Labs’
`
`counsel sent a letter dated June 28, 2019 to JPI, a corporation with its principal place of business
`
`in this Judicial District, stating that Mylan Labs had submitted ANDA No. 213124 seeking
`
`approval to commercially manufacture, use, sell, offer for sale, and/or import its proposed
`
`generic versions of JPI’s Invega Sustenna® brand products prior to the expiration of the ’906

`
`proposed generic versions of JPI’s Invega Sustenna® brand products in New Jersey and other
`
`states, either directly or through its affiliates Mylan Pharmaceuticals and/or Mylan Labs, causing
`
`injury to Plaintiffs in New Jersey.

`
`of operation and management of Mylan Labs and Mylan Institutional.

`
`THE PATENT-IN-SUIT
`
`44.
`
`On September 13, 2016, the ’906 Patent, titled “Dosing Regimen
`
`Associated with Long Acting Injectable Paliperidone Esters” was duly and legally issued to JPN
`
`as assignee. A copy of the ’906 Patent is attached as Exhibit A.
`
`45.
`
`JPI holds approved NDA No. 022264 for paliperidone palmitate extended
`
`release injectable suspension, which is prescribed and sold under the trademark Invega
`
`Sustenna®.
`
`46.
`
`Pursuant to 21 U.S.C. § 355(b)(1), the ’906 Patent is listed in the United
`
`States FDA publication titled Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence
`
`Evaluations (also known as the “Orange Book”) as covering JPI’s Invega Sustenna® brand
`
`paliperidone palmitate extended release suspension products.
`
`47.
`
`Invega Sustenna® is indicated for treatment of schizophrenia in adults and
`
`treatment of schizoaffective disorder in adults as a monotherapy and as an adjunct to mood
`
`stabilizers or antidepressants.

`
`COUNT I: INFRINGEMENT OF THE ’906 PATENT
`BY MYLAN’S ANDA FOR INVEGA SUSTENNA®
`
`48.
`
`49.
`
`Plaintiffs re-allege paragraphs 1-47 as if fully set forth herein.
`
`An actual controversy exists between the parties as to whether Mylan’s
`
`proposed sale of its generic paliperidone palmitate extended-release injectable suspension
`
`products infringes at least one claim, including claim 1, of the ’906 Patent.
`
`50.
`
`By letter dated June 28, 2019 (“Mylan Notice Letter”), Mylan Labs
`
`notified Plaintiffs that it had submitted ANDA No. 213124 to the FDA under § 505(j) of the
`
`Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. § 355(j)). The Notice Letter stated that ANDA
`
`No. 213124 seeks the FDA approval necessary to engage in the commercial manufacture, use,
`
`sale, offer for sale in, and/or importation into the United States, including the State of New
`
`Jersey, of generic paliperidone palmitate extended-release injectable suspension products prior to
`
`the expiration of certain of JPN’s Orange Book listed patents. ANDA No. 213124 specifically
`
`seeks FDA approval to market generic versions of JPI’s Invega Sustenna® brand paliperidone
`
`palmitate extended-release injectable suspension products in 39 mg, 78 mg, 117 mg, 156 mg, and
`
`234 mg doses prior to the expiration of the ’906 Patent.
`
`51.
`
`ANDA No. 213124 includes a Paragraph IV Certification that the claims
`
`of the ’906 Patent are invalid, unenforceable, and/or not infringed.
`
`52.
`
`The Mylan Notice Letter was sent to Plaintiffs via overnight mail on July
`
`1, 2019 and received by Plaintiffs on July 2, 2019. Plaintiffs commenced this action within 45
`
`days of the date of receipt of Mylan’s Notice Letter.
`
`53.
`
`The Mylan Notice Letter purports to include a Notice of Certification for
`
`ANDA No. 213124 under 37 C.F.R. § 314.95(c)(6) as to the ’906 Patent. The Mylan Notice

`
`Letter did not include a detailed statement of allegations of non-infringement as to at least one
`
`claim of the ’906 Patent.
`
`54. Mylan has actual knowledge of the ’906 Patent, as shown by the Mylan
`
`Notice Letter.
`
`55.
`
`On information and belief, Mylan’s generic products, if approved and
`
`marketed, will infringe, either literally or under the doctrine of equivalents, at least one claim,
`
`including at least claim 1 of the ’906 Patent, under at least one of 35 U.S.C. § 271(a), (b), and/or
`
`(c).
`
`56.
`
`On information and belief, under 35 U.S.C. § 271(e)(2)(A), Mylan has
`
`infringed at least one claim, including at least claim 1, of the ’906 Patent by submitting, or
`
`causing to be submitted, to the FDA ANDA No. 213124 seeking approval to manufacture, use,
`
`import, offer to sell or sell Mylan’s generic products before the expiration date of the ’906
`
`Patent. Upon information and belief, the products described in ANDA No. 213124 would
`
`infringe, either literally or under the doctrine of equivalents, at least one claim, including at least
`
`claim 1 of the ’906 Patent under 35 U.S.C. § 271(e)(2)(A).
`
`57.
`
`On information and belief, physicians and/or patients will directly infringe
`
`at least one claim, including at least claim 1, of the ’906 Patent by use of Mylan’s generic
`
`products upon approval.
`
`58.
`
`On information and belief, upon approval, Mylan will take active steps to
`
`encourage the use of Mylan’s generic products by physicians and/or patients with the knowledge
`
`and intent that Mylan’s generic products will be used by physicians and/or patients in a manner
`
`that infringes at least one claim, including at least claim 1, of the ’906 Patent for the pecuniary
`
`benefit of Mylan. Pursuant to 21 C.F.R. § 314.94, Mylan is required to copy the FDA-approved

`Case 2:19-cv-16484 Document 1 Filed 08/08/19 Page 14 of 17 PageID: 14
`
`Invega Sustenna® labeling. Mylan specifically intends its generic paliperidone palmitate
`
`products to be used according to its proposed labeling in a manner that infringes at least one
`
`claim, including at least claim 1, of the ’906 Patent. Upon information and belief, Mylan will
`
`thus induce the infringement of at least one claim, including at least claim 1 of the ’906 Patent.
`
`59.
`
`On information and belief, if the FDA approves ANDA No. 213124,
`
`Mylan will sell or offer to sell its generic products specifically labeled for use in practicing at
`
`least one claim, including at least claim 1 of the ’906 Patent, wherein Mylan’s generic products
`
`are a material part of the claimed invention, wherein Mylan knows that physicians will prescribe
`
`and patients will use Mylan’s generic products in accordance with the instructions and/or label
`
`provided by Mylan in practicing at least one claim, including at least claim 1 of the ’906 Patent,
`
`and wherein Mylan’s generic paliperidone palmitate extended-release injectable suspension
`
`products are not staple articles or commodities of commerce suitable for substantial non-
`
`infringing use. Mylan’s generic paliperidone palmitate extended-release injectable suspension
`
`products are specifically designed for use in a manner that infringes at least one claim, including
`
`at least claim 1, of the ’906 Patent. On information and belief, Mylan will thus contribute to the
`
`infringement of at least one claim, including at least claim 1 of the ’906 Patent.
`
`60.
`
`On information and belief, the actions described in this Complaint relating
`
`to Mylan’s ANDA No. 213124 were done by and for the benefit of Mylan.
`
`61.
`
`Plaintiffs will be irreparably harmed by Mylan’s infringing activities
`
`unless those activities are enjoined by this Court. Plaintiffs do not have an adequate remedy at
`
`law.
`
`62.
`
`This case is an exceptional one, and Plaintiffs are entitled to an award of
`
`their reasonable attorneys’ fees under 35 U.S.C. § 285.
