`
`Dear Judge Connolly,
`
`Pursuant to a call with chambers this afternoon, I write in regard to the above-referenced
`action. Along with Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP, I represent Pfizer Inc. We recently have
`been made aware that Amgen is seeking production of a Settlement Agreement entered into
`between Genentech and Pfizer (the “Settlement Agreement”) in Genentech v. Amgen, C.A. No.
`17-1407-CFC.
`
`On Monday, March 4, 2019, Genentech provided Pfizer with notice that Amgen was seeking
`discovery concerning the Settlement Agreement. The Settlement Agreement relates to a
`different drug product, trastuzumab, than the product that is at issue in the Amgen litigation and
`contains highly confidential, commercially-sensitive business information concerning Pfizer’s
`trastuzumab product. Pfizer has a significant interest in protecting its confidential information
`in the Amgen litigation.
`
`On Wednesday, March 6, 2019, Pfizer was made aware by Genentech that Amgen intended to
`seek to compel production of the Settlement Agreement at a discovery conference that is
`scheduled for March 12, 2019. On Thursday, March 7, 2019, Pfizer notified Genentech that it
`objected to the production of the Settlement Agreement. Pfizer also asked to participate in any
`discussions concerning the possibility of the production of the Settlement Agreement or limited
`portions thereof.
`
`Pfizer received a call from counsel for Amgen on Thursday afternoon, who confirmed that
`negotiations concerning the production of the Settlement Agreement have been occurring for
`“months” and that Amgen was intending to seek to compel production of the Settlement
`Agreement. Pfizer expressed concern that it was not made aware of this issue and that it had
`not been involved in any of the negotiations or meet and confers, concerning the production of
`its confidential information. Pfizer also requested a written explanation of why Amgen believes
`that a settlement agreement on a different drug product concerning a different set of patents may
`be relevant to the claims and defenses at issue in the Amgen litigation, and restated that we
`would like to negotiate with Amgen concerning this issue. Pfizer has yet to receive a response
`from Amgen.

`#: 17432
`Today, Pfizer observed that two discovery letters were filed under seal (D.I. Nos. 290 and
`291). Pfizer immediately reached out to counsel for both Genentech and Amgen to determine if
`the discovery disputes raised included the possible compelled production of the Settlement
`Agreement by Genentech. Pfizer also requested redacted versions of the letters, disclosing only
`the arguments, if any, relating to compelled production of the Settlement Agreement. Earlier
`this afternoon, Pfizer received an excerpt of the letter from Amgen concerning the compelled
`production.
`
`Pfizer respectfully requests that any dispute over the production of the Pfizer Settlement
`Agreement be adjourned to give the parties and Pfizer an opportunity to negotiate and attempt
`to resolve this without the intervention of the Court. However, if this dispute is going to be
`heard at the discovery conference on Tuesday, Pfizer respectfully requests the opportunity to be
`heard at that hearing and to submit a brief letter in support of a protective order to prevent the
`disclosure of Pfizer’s highly sensitive business information.
`
`Respectfully,
`
`Dominick Gattuso (#3630)
