`that the claims of the patents-in-suit are invalid, unenforceable, and/or will not be infringed by
`
`the activities described in Teva’s ANDA.
`
`45.
`
`No earlier than March 30, 2017, Teva sent written notice of its Paragraph IV
`
`Certification to Celgene (“Teva’s Notice Letter”). Teva’s Notice Letter alleged that the claims
`
`of the patents-in-suit are invalid and/or will not be infringed by the activities described in Teva’s

`
`Count I: Infringement of the ’262 Patent by Par
`
`46.
`
`Celgene repeats and realleges the allegations of the preceding paragraphs as if
`
`fully set forth herein.
`
`47.
`
`Par’s submission of its ANDA to engage in the commercial manufacture, use,
`
`sale, offer for sale, or importation into the United States of Par’s Proposed Products, prior to the
`
`expiration of the ’262 patent, constitutes infringement of one or more of the claims of that patent
`
`under 35 U.S.C. § 271(e)(2)(A).
`
`48.
`
`There is a justiciable controversy between Celgene and Par as to the
`
`infringement of the ’262 patent.
`
`49.
`
`Unless enjoined by this Court, upon FDA approval of Par’s ANDA, Par will
`
`infringe one or more claims of the ’262 patent under 35 U.S.C. § 271(a) by making, using,
`
`offering to sell, selling, and/or importing Par’s Proposed Products in the United States.
`
`50.
`
`Unless enjoined by this Court, upon FDA approval of Par’s ANDA, Par will
`
`induce infringement of one or more claims of the ’262 patent under 35 U.S.C. § 271(b) by
`
`making, using, offering to sell, selling, and/or importing Par’s Proposed Products in the United
`

`
`

`

`Case 2:17-cv-03159-ES-MAH Document 1 Filed 05/04/17 Page 12 of 135 PageID: 12
`
`States. On information and belief, upon FDA approval of Par’s ANDA, Par will intentionally
`
`encourage acts of direct infringement with knowledge of the ’262 patent and knowledge that its
`
`acts are encouraging infringement.
`
`51.
`
`Unless enjoined by this Court, upon FDA approval of Par’s ANDA, Par will
`
`contributorily infringe one or more claims of the ’262 patent under 35 U.S.C. § 271(c) by
`
`making, using, offering to sell, selling, and/or importing Par’s Proposed Products in the United
`
`States. On information and belief, Par has had and continues to have knowledge that Par’s
`
`Proposed Products are especially adapted for a use that infringes one or more claims of the ’262
`
`patent and that there is no substantial non-infringing use for Par’s Proposed Products.
`
`52.
`
`Celgene will be substantially and irreparably damaged and harmed if Par’s
`
`infringement of the ’262 patent is not enjoined.
`
`53.
`
`54.
`
`Celgene does not have an adequate remedy at law.
`
`This case is an exceptional one, and Celgene is entitled to an award of its
`
`reasonable attorneys’ fees under 35 U.S.C. § 285.
`
`Count II: Infringement of the ’262 Patent by Teva
`
`55.
`
`Celgene repeats and realleges the allegations of the preceding paragraphs as if
`
`fully set forth herein.
`
`56.
`
`Teva’s submission of its ANDA to engage in the commercial manufacture, use,
`
`sale, offer for sale, or importation into the United States of Teva’s Proposed Products, prior to
`
`the expiration of the ’262 patent, constitutes infringement of one or more of the claims of that
`
`patent under 35 U.S.C. § 271(e)(2)(A).
`
`57.
`
`There is a justiciable controversy between Celgene and Teva as to the
`
`infringement of the ’262 patent.

`
`Unless enjoined by this Court, upon FDA approval of Teva’s ANDA, Teva will
`

`59.
`
`Unless enjoined by this Court, upon FDA approval of Teva’s ANDA, Teva will
`
`induce infringement of one or more claims of the ’262 patent under 35 U.S.C. § 271(b) by
`
`making, using, offering to sell, selling, and/or importing Teva’s Proposed Products in the United
`
`States. On information and belief, upon FDA approval of Teva’s ANDA, Teva will intentionally
`

`
`acts are encouraging infringement.
`
`60.
`
`Unless enjoined by this Court, upon FDA approval of Teva’s ANDA, Teva will

`
`States. On information and belief, Teva has had and continues to have knowledge that Teva’s
`
`Proposed Products are especially adapted for a use that infringes one or more claims of the ’262
`
`patent and that there is no substantial non-infringing use for Teva’s Proposed Products.
`
`61.
`
`Celgene will be substantially and irreparably damaged and harmed if Teva’s
`
`infringement of the ’262 patent is not enjoined.
`
`62.
`
`63.
`
`Celgene does not have an adequate remedy at law.
`
`This case is an exceptional one, and Celgene is entitled to an award of its
`
`reasonable attorneys’ fees under 35 U.S.C. § 285.
`
`Count III: Infringement of the ’939 Patent by Par
