`
`Count I: Infringement of the ’922 Patent
`
`46.
`
`Jazz Pharmaceuticals repeats and realleges the allegations of the preceding
`
`paragraphs as if fully set forth herein.
`
`47.
`
`Lupin Ltd., Lupin Inc., and Lupin Pharmaceuticals, Inc.’s submission of their
`
`ANDA to obtain approval to engage in the commercial manufacture, use, sale, or offer for sale
`
`in, or importation into, the United States of Lupin’s Proposed Product, prior to the expiration of
`
`the ’922 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 the parties hereto as to the infringement
`
`of the ’922 patent.
`
`49.
`
`Unless enjoined by this Court, upon FDA approval of Lupin’s ANDA, Lupin Ltd.,
`
`Lupin Inc., and Lupin Pharmaceuticals, Inc. will infringe one or more claims of the ’922 patent
`
`under 35 U.S.C. § 271(a) by making, using, offering to sell, selling, and/or importing Lupin’s
`
`Proposed Product in or for the United States.
`
`50.
`
`Unless enjoined by this Court, upon FDA approval of Lupin’s ANDA, Lupin Ltd.,
`
`Lupin Inc., and Lupin Pharmaceuticals, Inc. will induce infringement of one or more claims of
`
`the ’922 patent under 35 U.S.C. § 271(b) by making, using, offering to sell, selling, and/or
`
`

`
`

`

`
`
`
`importing Lupin’s Proposed Product in or for the United States. On information and belief, upon
`
`FDA approval of Lupin’s ANDA, Lupin Ltd., Lupin Inc., and Lupin Pharmaceuticals, Inc. will
`
`intentionally encourage acts of direct infringement with knowledge of the ’922 patent and
`
`knowledge that their acts are encouraging infringement.
`
`51.
`
`Unless enjoined by this Court, upon FDA approval of Lupin’s ANDA, Lupin Ltd.,
`
`Lupin Inc., and Lupin Pharmaceuticals, Inc. will contributorily infringe one or more claims of
`
`the ’922 patent under 35 U.S.C. § 271(c) by making, using, offering to sell, selling, and/or
`
`importing Lupin’s Proposed Product in or for the United States. On information and belief,
`
`Lupin Ltd., Lupin Inc., and Lupin Pharmaceuticals, Inc. have had and continue to have
`
`knowledge that Lupin’s Proposed Product is especially adapted for a use that infringes one or
`
`more claims of the ’922 patent and that there is no substantial non-infringing use for Lupin’s
`
`Proposed Product.
`
`52.
`
`Jazz Pharmaceuticals will be substantially and irreparably damaged and harmed if
`
`Lupin Ltd., Lupin Inc., and Lupin Pharmaceuticals, Inc.’s infringement of the ’922 patent is not
`
`enjoined.
`
`53.
`
`54.
`
`Jazz Pharmaceuticals does not have an adequate remedy at law.
`
`This case is an exceptional one, and Jazz Pharmaceuticals is entitled to an award
`
`of its reasonable attorneys’ fees under 35 U.S.C. § 285.
`
`Count II: Infringement of the ’306 Patent
