`EASTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS
`MARSHALL DIVISION
`
`Civil Action No. 2:20-CV-00337-JRG
`
`SEAGEN INC.,
`
`v.
`
`Plaintiff,
`
`
`
`DAIICHI SANKYO CO., LTD.,
`
`Defendant,
`
`ASTRAZENECA PHARMACEUTICALS LP, and
`ASTRAZENECA UK LTD,
`
`
`Intervenor-Defendants.
`
`JOINT NOTICE REGARDING MEDIATION
`
`Pursuant to the Court’s Order at Dkt. 155 issued September 14, 2021, the parties jointly
`
`notify the Court that the parties met and conferred on September 27, 2021 regarding mediation.
`
`The parties agree that they may benefit from mediation; however, they do not agree as to the
`
`timing when mediation could be beneficial.
`
`Seagen is prepared to mediate by the deadline of October 14, 2021 set in the Court’s
`
`Order, and proposed a mediator.
`
`Defendant and Intervenor-Defendants (“Defendants”) respectfully submit that mediation
`
`in January 2022 would be most productive, because the parties’ respective positions—and the
`
`issues in this case—will have further crystalized after fact and expert discovery have concluded.
`
`Accordingly, Defendants propose that the parties be afforded the opportunity to confer on the
`
`Jt Ntc re Mediation/sf-4581342 v1
