`
`MOTION REQUESTING ADVERSE JUDGMENT AGAINST
`APOTEX INC. AND APOTEX CORP.
`PURSUANT TO 37 C.F.R. § 42.73(b)(4)
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Petitioners Apotex Inc. and Apotex Corp. (collectively “Apotex”) hereby
`
`abandon the contest and thus request adverse judgment pursuant to 37 C.F.R.
`
`§ 42.73(b)(4). As stated in 37 C.F.R. § 42.73(b), “[a] party may request adverse
`
`judgment against itself at any time during a proceeding.” Further, the Board
`
`authorized this filing on August 6, 2019 in an email to the parties. Petitioner
`
`Adello Biologics LLC (“Adello”) and Patent Owner have represented that they do
`
`not oppose this motion.
`
`This request for adverse judgment against Apotex does not involve or
`
`include co-petitioner Adello or Adello’s related real parties-in-interest. Thus,
`
`Adello will continue in this proceeding as the sole petitioner. Entry of adverse
`
`judgment against Apotex will not terminate or delay the current proceeding.
