`Case 1:22-cv-00965-UNA Document 1 Filed 07/22/22 Page 7 of 13 PageID #: 7
`
`
`27.
`
`Upon information and belief, Teva Pharmaceuticals, Teva Development, Teva
`
`USA and Teva Industries hold themselves out as a unitary entity and operate as a single integrated
`
`business with respect to the regulatory approval, manufacturing, marketing, sale and distribution
`
`of generic pharmaceutical products throughout the United States, including in this judicial district.
`
`28.
`
`Upon information and belief, Teva admits that “1 of every 9 prescriptions in the
`
`US” is filled with a Teva product. https://www.tevapharm.com/teva-worldwide/ (accessed July
`
`19, 2022). Upon information and belief, Teva has at least 30 locations across the U.S. and its
`
`territories. https://businessfacilities.com/2018/07/teva-pharmaceuticals-moving-u-s-headquarters-
`
`parsippany-troy-hills-new-jersey/ (accessed July 19, 2022). Upon information and belief, Teva
`
`admits it has at least 100 pending first-to-file ANDAs in the U.S. and at least 270 product
`
`registrations pending FDA approval.
`
`https://www.tevapharm.com/globalassets/scs-files---
`
`global/teva-infographic-files/teva_infographic_english_may2020.pdf (accessed July 19, 2022).
`
`29.
`
`Upon information and belief, Teva is engaged in the submission and approval of
`
`ANDAs for the U.S. market, admitting Teva has “over 100 pending first-to-files in the U.S.” See,
`
`e.g., https://www.tevausa.com/news-and-media/press-releases/teva-wins-generic-uceris-patent-
`
`trial/ (accessed July 19, 2022).
`
`30.
`
`Teva’s ANDA filing regarding the patent-in-suit relates to this litigation and is
`
`substantially connected with this judicial district because it reliably and non-speculatively predicts
`
`Teva’s intent to market and sell Teva’s generic products in this judicial district.
`
`31.
`
`Teva 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, Teva intends to direct sales of its generic drugs in this
`
`judicial district, among other places, once Teva receives the requested FDA approval to market its
`
`{01822782;v1 }
`
`
`

`
`
`
`
`Case 1:22-cv-00965-UNA Document 1 Filed 07/22/22 Page 8 of 13 PageID #: 8
`
`
`generic products. Upon information and belief, Teva will engage in marketing of its proposed
`
`generic products in Delaware upon approval of its ANDA.
`
`32.
`
`Upon information and belief, Teva Pharmaceuticals, Teva Development, Teva
`
`USA and Teva Industries have thus been, and continue to be, joint and prime actors in the drafting,
`
`submission, approval and maintenance of ANDA No. 215984.
`
`33.
`
`For these reasons and for other reasons that will be presented to the Court if
`
`jurisdiction is challenged, the Court has personal jurisdiction over Teva.
`
`34.
`
`Venue is proper in this judicial district under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1391 and 1400(b),
`
`because Teva Industries is incorporated in Israel and may be sued in any judicial district in the
`
`United States.
`

`
`FACTUAL BACKGROUND
`
`The NDA
`
`38.
`
`Neurocrine is the holder of New Drug Application (“NDA”) No. 209241 for
`
`INGREZZA® (valbenazine) Capsules in 40, 60 and 80 mg dosage forms (“INGREZZA®
`
`Capsules”).
`
`39.
`
`40.
`
`The FDA approved NDA No. 209241 on April 11, 2017.
`
`INGREZZA® Capsules are prescription drugs approved for the treatment of tardive
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`dyskinesia. Valbenazine, which is present as the tosylate salt, is the active ingredient in
`8
`{01822782;v1 }

`
`
`
`
`Case 1:22-cv-00965-UNA Document 1 Filed 07/22/22 Page 9 of 13 PageID #: 9
`
`
`INGREZZA® Capsules.
`
`41.
`
`Valbenazine Capsules are marketed in the United States under the trademark
`
`INGREZZA®.
`
`The Patent-in-Suit
`
`42. The United States Patent and Trademark Office (“the PTO”) issued the ’532 patent
`
`on April 26, 2022, titled “High Dosage Valbenazine Formulation and Compositions, Methods, and Kits
`
`Related Thereto.” A true and correct copy of the ’532 patent is attached as Exhibit A.
`
`43.
`
`Neurocrine owns the ’532 patent through assignment as recorded by the PTO at
`
`Reel 054171, Frame 0426.
`
`44.
`
`45.
`
`The ’532 patent currently expires on September 18, 2038.
`
`The ’532 patent is listed in Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence
`
`Evaluations (“the Orange Book”) in connection with NDA No. 209241 for INGREZZA® Capsules.
`
`The ANDA
`
`46.
`
`Upon information and belief, Teva submitted ANDA No. 215984 with the FDA
`
`under 21 U.S.C. § 355(j) seeking FDA approval to manufacture, use, import, offer to sell and/or
`
`sell in the United States Valbenazine Capsules, 40 mg and 80 mg (defined above as “Teva’s generic
`
`products”), which are generic versions of Neurocrine’s INGREZZA® Capsules.
`
`47.
`
`Teva’s Fourth Notice Letter states that ANDA No. 215984 contains certifications
`
`pursuant to 21 U.S.C. § 355(j)(2)(A)(vii)(IV), alleging that the claims of the patent-in-suit are
`
`invalid, unenforceable or will not be infringed by the manufacture, use, import, offer to sell and/or
`
`sale of Teva’s generic products.
`
`48.
`
`Plaintiff commenced this action within 45 days of receiving Teva’s Fourth
`
`Notice Letter.

`
`COUNT I
`
`(INFRINGEMENT OF THE ’532 PATENT)
`
`Plaintiff realleges, and incorporates fully herein, each preceding paragraph.
`
`Upon information and belief, Teva filed ANDA No. 215984 seeking approval to
`
`manufacture, use, import, offer to sell and/or sell Teva’s generic products in the United States
`
`before the expiration of the ’532 patent.
`
`51.
`
`Teva’s Fourth Notice Letter states that Teva 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 ’532 patent are invalid, unenforceable and/or will not be infringed.
`
`52.
`
`Upon information and belief, in its ANDA No. 215984, Teva has represented to the
`
`FDA that Teva’s generic products are pharmaceutically and therapeutically equivalent to
`
`Neurocrine’s INGREZZA® Capsules.
`
`53.
`
`Teva has actual knowledge of the ’532 patent, as evidenced by at least Teva’s Fourth
`
`Notice Letter.
`
`54.
`
`Upon information and belief, under 35 U.S.C. § 271(e)(2)(A), Teva has infringed
`
`at least one claim of the ’532 patent by submitting, or causing to be submitted, to the FDA ANDA
`
`No. 215984, seeking approval to manufacture, use, import, offer to sell or sell Teva’s generic
`
`products before the expiration date of the ’532 patent.
`
`55.
`
`Upon information and belief, if ANDA No. 215984 is approved, Teva intends to
`
`and will manufacture, use, import, offer to sell and/or sell Teva’s generic products in the United
`
`States.
`
`56.
`
`Upon information and belief, if ANDA No. 215984 is approved, Teva will infringe
`
`one or more claims of the ’532 patent under § 271(a), either literally or under the doctrine of
`
`equivalents, by making, using, offering to sell, selling and/or importing Teva’s generic products,
`
`{01822782;v1 }

`
`
`
`Case 1:22-cv-00965-UNA Document 1 Filed 07/22/22 Page 11 of 13 PageID #: 11
`
`
`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 FDA approval
`
`of ANDA No. 215984 shall be no earlier than the expiration of the ’532 patent and any additional
`
`periods of exclusivity.
`
`57.
`
`Upon information and belief, Teva knows, should know and intends that physicians
`
`will prescribe and patients will take Teva’s generic products for which approval is sought in
`
`ANDA No. 215984, and therefore will infringe at least one claim of the ’532 patent.
`
`58.
`
`Upon information and belief, Teva has knowledge of the ’532 patent and, by its
`
`proposed package insert for Teva’s generic products, knows or should know that it will induce
`
`direct infringement of at least one claim of the ’532 patent, either literally or under the doctrine of
`
`equivalents.
`
`59.
`
`Upon information and belief, Teva is aware and/or has knowledge that its proposed
`
`package insert will recommend, suggest, encourage and/or instruct others how to engage in an
`
`infringing use because healthcare professionals and/or patients will use Teva’s generic products
`
`according to the instructions in the proposed package insert in a way that directly infringes at least
`
`one claim of the ’532 patent.
`
`60.
`
`Upon information and belief, Teva’s actions relating to Teva’s ANDA No. 215984
`
`complained of herein were done by and for the benefit of Teva.
`
`61.
`
`Plaintiff will be irreparably harmed by Teva’s infringing activities unless this Court
`
`enjoins those activities.
`
`62.
`
`Plaintiff does not have an adequate remedy at law.
