`CASE NO. 2:20-cv-00337-JRG
`
`JURY TRIAL DEMANDED
`
`DEFENDANT’S NOTICE OF POST-GRANT REVIEW PETITION
`
`Defendant Daiichi Sankyo Company, Limited (“Defendant”) notifies the Court that on
`
`December 23, 2020, Daiichi Sankyo, Inc. (“Daiichi Sankyo US”) and AstraZeneca
`
`Pharmaceuticals, LP (“AstraZeneca US”), who are not parties to this action, filed a Petition for
`
`Post-Grant Review seeking cancelation of Claims 1–5, 9, and 10 of Plaintiff Seagen Inc.’s U.S.
`
`Patent No. 10,808,039, the sole patent asserted against Defendant in this action. The challenged
`
`claims encompass all of the claims Plaintiff’s Complaint identifies as allegedly infringed. While
`
`Defendant is not a party to the Petition, Defendant is named as a real party-in-interest to the
`
`Petition. Daiichi Sankyo US is a Delaware corporation and subsidiary of Defendant. It is the only
`
`company licensed by the United States Food and Drug Administration to sell Enhertu®, the accused
`
`product in this action. AstraZeneca US co-markets the drug with Daiichi Sankyo US. Although
`
`the Patent Trial and Appeal Board has not yet instituted the Petition for review, Defendant may
`
`move to stay this action upon institution.
