`
`
`
`26.
`
`Hetero’s ANDA filing regarding the RE’059 patent relates to this litigation and is
`
`substantially connected with this judicial district because it reliably and non-speculatively predicts
`
`Hetero’s intent to market and sell Hetero’s generic products in this judicial district.
`
`27.
`
`Hetero has taken the significant step of applying to the FDA for approval to engage
`
`in future activities—including the marketing of its generic drugs—which, upon information and
`
`belief, will be purposefully directed at the District of Delaware and elsewhere throughout the
`
`United States. Upon information and belief, Hetero intends to direct sales of its generic drugs in
`
`this judicial district, among other places, once Hetero receives the requested FDA approval to
`
`market its generic products. Upon information and belief, Hetero will engage in marketing of its
`
`proposed generic products in Delaware upon approval of its ANDA.
`
`28.
`
`Upon information and belief, Hetero has thus been, and continues to be, the prime
`
`actor in the drafting, submission, approval and maintenance of ANDA No. 213669.
`
`29.
`
`Venue is proper in this judicial district under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1391 and 1400(b),
`
`because Hetero Drugs Ltd. and Hetero Labs Ltd. are incorporated in India and may be sued in any
`
`judicial district.
`
`30.
`
`Venue is proper in this judicial district under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1391 and 1400(b),
`
`because Hetero Labs Ltd. Unit-V is a division of Hetero Labs Ltd., which is incorporated in India
`
`and may be sued in any judicial district.
`
`31.
`
`Venue is proper in this judicial district under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1391 and 1400(b),
`
`because Hetero USA, Inc. is incorporated in the state of Delaware.

`
`
`
`FACTUAL BACKGROUND
`
`The NDA
`
`32.
`
`Otsuka is the holder of New Drug Application (“NDA”) No. 205422 for
`
`REXULTI® (brexpiprazole) Tablets in 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 3 and 4 mg dosage forms (“REXULTI®
`
`Tablets”).
`
`33.
`
`34.
`
`The FDA approved NDA No. 205422 on July 10, 2015.
`
`REXULTI® Tablets are prescription drugs approved for the adjunctive treatment of
`
`major depressive disorder and the treatment of schizophrenia. Brexpiprazole is the active
`
`ingredient in REXULTI® Tablets.
`
`The Patent In Suit
`
`35.
`
`The United States Patent and Trademark Office (“the PTO”) issued U.S. Patent No.
`
`7,888,362 (“the ’362 patent”) on February 15, 2011, entitled “Piperazine-Substituted
`
`Benzothiophenes for Treatment of Mental Disorders.”
`
`36.
`
`The PTO reissued the ’362 patent as the RE’059 patent on June 23, 2020. A true
`
`and correct copy of the RE’059 patent is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
`
`37.
`
`As the reissue of the ’362 patent, Otsuka is the owner of the RE’059 patent through
`
`assignment as recorded by the PTO for the ’362 patent at Reel 048501, Frame 0122; Reel 021939,
`
`Frame 0746 and Reel 048501, Frame 0166.
`
`38.
`
`Pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 251, the RE’059 patent issued for the unexpired term of
`
`the ’362 patent, which would have expired on April 12, 2026, by virtue of a terminal disclaimer
`
`filed in the PTO that disclaimed 317 days of patent term adjustment granted to the ’362 patent
`
`under 35 U.S.C. § 154(b). A true and correct copy of the terminal disclaimer is attached as
`
`Exhibit B.

`
`
`
`39.
`
`Otsuka filed a Submission Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 1.765 for Patent Term Extension
`
`Application Under 35 U.S.C. § 156 and Response to Notice of Final Determination, requesting an
`
`extension under 35 U.S.C. § 156(c) of 986 days for the ’362 patent. After the RE’059 patent
`
`issued, Otsuka filed a Petition Under 37 C.F.R. § 1.182 to Move Patent Term Extension
`
`Application from U.S. Patent No. 7,888,362 to RE 48,059, which was granted on October 6, 2020.
`
`Accordingly, the RE’059 patent will expire on December 23, 2028, based on the 986 days of Patent
`
`Term Extension under 35 U.S.C. § 156(c).
`
`40.
`
`The RE’059 patent is listed in Approved Drug Products With Therapeutic
`
`Equivalence Evaluations (“the Orange Book”) in connection with NDA No. 205422 for
`
`REXULTI® (brexpiprazole) Tablets.
`
`The ANDA
`
`41.
`
`Upon information and belief, Hetero filed ANDA No. 213669 with the FDA under
`
`21 U.S.C. § 355(j) seeking FDA approval to engage in the commercial manufacture, use or sale in
`
`the United States of brexpiprazole tablets, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 3 and 4 mg (“Hetero’s generic products”),
`
`which are generic versions of Otsuka’s REXULTI® (brexpiprazole) Tablets.
`
`42.
`
`Otsuka received a letter sent by Hetero, dated September 11, 2019, purporting to
`
`be a “Notice of Certification” for ANDA No. 213669 (“Hetero’s September 11, 2019, First Notice
`
`Letter”) pursuant to 21 U.S.C. § 355(j)(2)(B)(ii), § 505(j)(2)(B)(ii) of the Federal Food, Drug and
`
`Cosmetic Act and 21 C.F.R. § 314.95. Hetero’s September 11, 2019, First Notice Letter notified
`
`Otsuka that Hetero had filed ANDA No. 213669, seeking approval to engage in the commercial
`
`manufacture, use or sale of Hetero’s generic products before the expiration of the ’362 patent and
`
`U.S. Patent Nos. 8,349,840 (“the ’840 patent”), 8,618,109 (“the ’109 patent”), 9,839,637 (“the
`
`’637 patent”) and 10,307,419 (“the ’419 patent”).

`

`
`In response to Hetero’s September 11, 2019, First Notice Letter, Plaintiffs
`
`previously filed a separate action in this Court against Hetero for patent infringement, which
`
`included counts of infringement of the ’362, ’840, ’109, ’637 and ’419 patents. See Otsuka
`
`Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., et al. v. Hetero Labs Ltd., et al., C.A. No. 19-cv-1954-LPS.
`
`44.
`
`On June 23, 2020, the PTO reissued the RE’059 patent as a reissue of the ’362
`
`patent. Plaintiffs timely notified the FDA and the RE’059 patent was listed in the Orange Book
`
`for REXULTI®.
`
`45.
`
`Upon information and belief, ANDA No. 213669 contains a certification pursuant
`
`to 21 U.S.C. § 355(j)(2)(A)(vii)(IV) (“paragraph IV certification”), alleging that the claims of the
`
`RE’059 patent are invalid, unenforceable and/or would not be infringed by the commercial
`
`manufacture, use, sale, offer for sale and/or importation of Hetero’s generic products.
`
`46.
`
`Otsuka received a second notice letter sent by Hetero dated October 1, 2020,
`
`purporting to be a “Notice of Certification” for ANDA No. 213669 (“Hetero’s October 1, 2020,
`
`Second Notice Letter”) pursuant to 21 U.S.C. § 355(j)(2)(B)(ii), § 505(j)(2)(B)(ii) of the Federal
`
`Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and 21 C.F.R. § 314.95. Hetero’s October 1, 2020, Second Notice
`
`Letter notified Otsuka that Hetero had filed ANDA No. 213669 seeking approval to engage in the
`
`commercial manufacture, use, sale, offer for sale and/or importation of Hetero’s generic products
`
`before the expiration of the RE’059 patent.
`
`47.
`
`Plaintiffs commenced this action within 45 days of receiving Hetero’s October 1,
`
`2020, Second Notice Letter.

`
`Upon information and belief, Hetero filed ANDA No. 213669 seeking approval to
`
`manufacture, use, import, offer to sell and/or sell Hetero’s generic products in the United States
`
`before the expiration of the RE’059 patent.
`
`50.
`
`Upon information and belief, Hetero filed with the FDA, pursuant to 21 U.S.C.
`
`§ 355(j)(2)(A)(vii)(IV) and 21 C.F.R. § 314.94(a)(12)(i)(A)(4), a certification alleging that the
`
`claims of the RE’059 patent are invalid, unenforceable and/or not infringed.
`
`51.
`
`Upon information and belief, in its ANDA No. 213669, Hetero has represented to
`
`the FDA that Hetero’s generic products are pharmaceutically and therapeutically equivalent to
`
`Otsuka’s REXULTI® Tablets.
`
`52.
`
`Hetero has actual knowledge of Otsuka’s RE’059 patent, as evidenced by Hetero’s
`
`October 1, 2020, Second Notice Letter.
`
`53.
`
`Upon information and belief, under 35 U.S.C. § 271(e)(2)(A), Hetero has infringed
`
`one or more claims of the RE’059 patent by submitting, or causing to be submitted, to the FDA
`
`ANDA No. 213669, seeking approval to commercially manufacture, use, import, offer to sell or
`
`sell Hetero’s generic products before the expiration date of the RE’059 patent.
`
`54.
`
`Upon information and belief, if ANDA No. 213669 is approved, Hetero intends to
`
`and will offer to sell, sell and/or import in the United States Hetero’s generic products.
`
`55.
`
`Upon information and belief, if ANDA No. 213669 is approved, Hetero will
`
`infringe one or more claims of the RE’059 patent under § 271(a), either literally or under the
`
`doctrine of equivalents, by making, using, offering to sell, selling and/or importing Hetero’s
`
`generic products, and/or by actively inducing infringement by others under § 271(b) and/or
`
`contributing to infringement under § 271(c), unless this Court orders that the effective date of any
