`
`
`
`
`
`INTRODUCTION
`
`Plaintiff Seagen Inc. (“Seagen”) recently pursued and obtained from Defendant Daiichi
`
`Sankyo Company, Limited (“Daiichi Sankyo Japan”) documents concerning methods to conjugate
`
`drug products. Conjugation is a process or synthesis method that can be used to manufacture drug
`
`products. Here, such documents are unquestionably irrelevant because the asserted patent claims
`
`drug products; it does not claim any process of making drug products, nor does it contain any claim
`
`limitations detailing a conjugation process. The law is well-settled that “the process by which a
`
`product is made is irrelevant to the question of whether that product infringes a pure apparatus
`
`claim.”1
`
`On January 6, 2022, Seagen revealed its motivation for seeking such irrelevant documents.
`
`Specifically, Seagen filed a motion to reopen a pending, private arbitration between Seagen and
`
`Daiichi Sankyo Japan. One of the allegations in the Arbitration (vigorously disputed by Daiichi
`
`Sanko Japan) is that Daiichi Sankyo Japan utilized alleged Seagen proprietary
`
`
`
`. In support of its motion to reopen the Arbitration, Seagen submitted a brief and an
`
`accompanying “offer of proof” that both described, detailed, and quoted the confidential Daiichi
`
`Sankyo Japan documents and associated deposition testimony from Dr. Koji Morita that Seagen
`
`obtained solely through this action. The materials that Seagen used in the Arbitration are four lab
`
`notebooks, seven emails, and the deposition transcripts of Dr. Morita from November 30, 2021,
`
`December 1, 2021, and January 10, 2022 (collectively the “Texas Discovery Materials”).
`
`The Court’s Discovery Order and Protective Order, however, provide that use of discovery
`
`materials from this action can be used in another proceeding only after obtaining leave of this
`

`

`

`Case 2:20-cv-00337-JRG Document 356 Filed 04/01/22 Page 3 of 13 PageID #: 12645
`
`
`Court.2 Instead of seeking the required leave, Seagen ignored the Court’s orders, used the Texas
`
`
`
`Discovery Materials in the Arbitration, and continued to use them in a January 12, 2022 Reply
`
`brief to the Arbitrator. After that extensive use of the Texas Discovery Materials, Seagen brazenly
`
`filed a motion with the Court on January 14, 2022 seeking permission after-the-fact to do what it
`
`has already done, i.e., use protected discovery from this case in another proceeding. (See Dkt.
`
`272.) And without having obtained the required leave, on January 19, 2022, Seagen further
`
`described, detailed, and quoted the Texas Discovery Materials during a hearing in the Arbitration.
`
`The Court should not condone Seagen’s blatant violations of this Court’s Discovery Order
`
`and Protective Order. As explained in further detail below, Seagen should be sanctioned for its
`
`violations. Otherwise, the protective provisions of this Court’s orders would be rendered
`
`meaningless and it would encourage litigants to flout this Court’s procedures, rules, and orders.
`
`ADDITIONAL RELEVANT BACKGROUND
`
`A.
`
`Arbitration Between Seagen and Daiichi Sankyo Japan
`
`On November 12, 2019, Seagen filed an arbitration demand against Daiichi Sankyo Japan
`
`seeking, among other things, patent rights to Daiichi Sankyo Japan’s groundbreaking and
`
`lifesaving antibody-drug conjugate, DS-8201. The Arbitration involves a breach of contract claim
`
`with different subject matter than the instant patent infringement lawsuit. (See Dkts. 278, 299.)
`
`The Arbitration Hearing was declared closed on
`
`. Seagen and Daiichi Sankyo
`
`Japan agreed that the final award in the Arbitration would be due
`
`, after which
`
`both Parties agreed to extend the award deadline to
`
` upon the Tribunal’s request.3
`
`
`2 (See Dkt. 51 at ¶ 12(b); Dkt. 248. at ¶¶ 6, 8.)
`3 Daiichi Sankyo Japan’s opposition to Seagen’s belated motion for leave to use the Texas Discovery Materials in
`the Arbitration (Dkt. 262) also contains factual background regarding Seagen’s unauthorized use of the Texas
`Discovery Materials. (See Dkt. 278 at 3-4.)

`Case 2:20-cv-00337-JRG Document 356 Filed 04/01/22 Page 4 of 13 PageID #: 12646
`
`
`
`
`
`The pending Arbitration was all but completed and pending imminent decision, but
`
`Seagen’s use of the Texas Discovery Materials in support of its motion to reopen, in an unsolicited
`
`reply brief, and during oral argument, caused the Arbitrator to reopen the Arbitration Hearing.4
`
`B.
`
`The Court’s Discovery Order and Protective Order
`
`From the beginning of this action, Seagen and Daiichi Sankyo Japan disputed the use of
`
`discovery from this action in another proceeding. Seagen sought, and Daiichi Sankyo Japan
`
`opposed, open cross-use among any other proceeding. The Court resolved the parties’ dispute by
`
`permitting cross-use, but only upon obtaining leave of this Court. (See Dkt. 51 (Discovery Order)
`
`at ¶ 12(b).) The Protective Order similarly prohibits the use of any discovery from this action in
`
`any other proceeding without prior leave of this Court. (See Dkt. 248 at ¶¶ 6, 8.)
`
`A.
`
`The Applicable Legal Standard for Issuing Sanctions
`
`ARGUMENT
`
`The Court can issue sanctions pursuant to Rule 37(b) against a party that fails to obey the
`
`Court’s discovery orders, such as the Discovery Order and Protective Order in this action. See
`
`Fed. R. Civ. P. 37(b)(2)(A). “The Court has broad discretion under Rule 37(b) to fashion remedies
`
`suited to the misconduct.” CEATS, Inc. v. TicketNetwork, Inc., No. 2:15-cv-01470-JRG, 2021 WL
`
`3738847, at *2 (E.D. Tex. Aug. 24, 2021) (internal quotations omitted). The Court can order the
`
`breaching party “to pay the reasonable expenses, including attorney’s fees, caused by the failure”
`
`(unless the failure was substantially justified or other circumstances make such an award unjust).
`
`Fed. R. Civ. P. 37(b)(2)(C). Additionally, the Court’s authority to impose sanctions under Rule
`
`
`4 Daiichi Sankyo Japan vigorously disputed that the Texas Discovery Materials are probative of Seagen’s claims in
`the Arbitration. The Arbitrator did not find that the Texas Discovery Materials supported Seagen’s claims in the
`Arbitration. Instead, the Arbitrator stated that while
`
`
`
`question. (See Ex. 8.)
`
`which requires the Arbitrator to receive and evaluate the evidence in

`Case 2:20-cv-00337-JRG Document 356 Filed 04/01/22 Page 5 of 13 PageID #: 12647
`
`
`37 may include, without limitation, curative instructions, striking pleadings, and/or finding the
`
`
`
`violating party to be in contempt of court. Fed. R. Civ. P. 37(b)(2)(A)(i)-(vii).
`
`B.
`
`Seagen Violated the Discovery Order and Protective Order by Using
`the Texas Discovery Material in the Arbitration Without Leave of Court
`
`As detailed in the following sections, Seagen extensively used the Texas Discovery
`
`Materials in the Arbitration, specifically in connection with its motion to reopen the Arbitration
`
`hearing, its reply in support of that motion, and its oral argument and demonstrative slides
`
`presented at the hearing on that motion. Seagen had not obtained leave of Court at any time before
`
`using the Texas Discovery Materials in the Arbitration (indeed, as of the time of the filing of this
`
`motion, Seagen still has never obtained leave of Court to use the materials in the Arbitration).
`
`Accordingly, Seagen’s use was a violation of the Court’s orders. See Jazz Pharms., Inc. v. Amneal
`
`Pharms. LLC, Civ. A. No. 13-391(ES) (JAP), 2016 WL 11480203, at *2-4 (D.N.J. Jan. 22, 2016)
`
`(finding use of confidential discovery materials from one proceeding to argue for additional
`
`discovery in another proceeding violated a protective order); Hydro-Blok USA LLC v. Wedi Corp.,
`
`No. C15-671 TSZ, 2017 WL 6513697, at *2 (W.D. Wa. Dec. 20, 2017) (party violated protective
`
`order by basing allegations in one proceeding on confidential discovery material obtained in
`
`another proceeding); Wolters Kluwer Fin. Servs. Inc. v. Scivantage, No. 07 CV 2352(HB), 2007
`
`WL 1498114, at *7-8 (S.D.N.Y. May 23, 2007) (similar). Sanctions are thus warranted against
`
`Seagen.
`
`1.
`
`Seagen Used the Texas Discovery
`Materials in Its Motion to Reopen the Arbitration
`
`Seagen’s motion to reopen the Arbitration repeatedly detailed, directly referenced, and
`
`described the contents of the Texas Discovery Material, without leave of Court. For example, at
`
`page 4 of Seagen’s motion to reopen, it described in specifics deposition testimony Dr. Morita
`
`provided on November 30-December 1, 2021 solely in this action:
`
`- 4 -
`
`

`

`Case 2:20-cv-00337-JRG Document 356 Filed 04/01/22 Page 6 of 13 PageID #: 12648
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`(See Ex. 1 at 4.) Seagen’s purported “offer of proof” submitted alongside its motion to reopen
`
`likewise detailed (and mischaracterized) the contents of the Texas Discovery Material. Seagen’s
`
`offer of proof described that certain Daiichi Sankyo Japan scientists
`
` that
`
` and that the
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`, noting
`
`their purported relevance; and that the contents of Daiichi Sankyo Japan’s scientists’ lab notebooks
`
` and information purportedly relevant to the Arbitration. (See Ex.
`
`2 at 1-2.)5 Seagen even quoted the lab notebooks. (See id. at 2) All of the cited documents and
`
`testimony used were obtained solely from this action.
`
`Seagen’s past and anticipated arguments attempting to excuse its failure for requesting
`
`leave before using the Texas Discovery Materials are unavailing. For example, Seagen argues that
`
`its motion to the Arbitrator did not violate the Court’s orders because it provided only “high-level
`
`descriptions of the documents and testimony” to the Arbitrator, citing Milwaukee Elec. Tool Corp.
`
`v. Snap-On Inc., No. 14-CV-1296-JPS, 2016 WL 1719657 (E.D. Wis. Mar. 16, 2016). (See Dkt.
`
`262 at 3; Dkt. 283 at 3.) First, as demonstrated above, Seagen provided far more than “high-level
`
`
`5 Seagen’s motion and offer of proof (like its subsequent reply, oral argument, and demonstrative slides)
`mischaracterize the Texas Discovery Materials and omit certain context and related materials, and they also assert
`arguments about the interpretation and significance of such materials. While Daiichi Sankyo Japan disputes Seagen’s
`interpretation of, and conclusions regarding, such materials, embedded among Seagen’s argument and
`mischaracterization is the substance of the materials.
`

`

`

`Case 2:20-cv-00337-JRG Document 356 Filed 04/01/22 Page 7 of 13 PageID #: 12649
`
`
`descriptions” of Daiichi Sankyo Japan’s documents and deposition testimony from Dr. Morita.
`
`
`
`This fact alone distinguishes Seagen’s conduct from that at issue in Milwaukee, where the plaintiffs
`
`merely listed Bates numbers and provided a general description of the documents. See id. at *4.6
`
`Second, the Milwaukee court’s rationale is inapplicable here because the protective order in that
`
`case was silent as to cross-use and so the court there determined its purpose was to protect against
`
`disclosure of commercial secrets rather than to protect against disclosure in other proceedings. But
`
`here, the Discovery Order and Protective Order expressly protect against cross-use absent leave of
`
`Court. (See Dkt. 51; Dkt. 248.)
`
`Seagen also argues that its offer of proof simply “referred to information that had already
`
`been presented publicly in this Court’s December 20 hearing.” (Dkt. 283 at 2.) That is incorrect.
`
`At the December 20 hearing, the discussion concerned whether, when, and for how long a further
`
`deposition of Dr. Morita should occur and whether, when, and to what extent the expert witnesses
`
`should be permitted to supplement their opinions based on the production of the lab notebooks;
`
`there was no discussion of the details of the Texas Discovery Materials disclosed in Seagen’s
`
`motion to reopen the Arbitration. (See generally Tr., Dec. 20, 2021 Hrg.)
`
`2.
`
`Seagen Used the Texas Discovery Materials in
`Its Reply in Support of Its Motion to Reopen the Arbitration
`
`As mentioned above, on January 12, 2022, Seagen submitted a reply in support of its
`
`motion to reopen the Arbitration. Seagen’s reply was neither ordered nor requested by the
`
`Tribunal. Like its motion, Seagen’s reply described and detailed the contents of the Texas
`
`Discovery Materials. In particular, but without limitation, Seagen’s reply attached an eight-page
`
`“Exhibit A” that contained direct quotation of approximately 12 pages of the transcript of Dr.
`
`
`6 Indeed, the court in Milwaukee drew a distinction between “the use of knowledge regarding the existence of certain
`documents” (what the plaintiff did in that case) “versus the use of the confidential content within the documents”
`(what Seagen has done here). Id.
`
`- 6 -
`
`

`

`Case 2:20-cv-00337-JRG Document 356 Filed 04/01/22 Page 8 of 13 PageID #: 12650
`
`
`Morita’s deposition. (See Ex. 3.)
`
`
`
`As with its motion, Seagen’s past and anticipated arguments attempting to excuse its failure
`
`to request leave of this Court are unavailing. Any suggestion that Milwaukee provides cover for
`
`Seagen is a misapplication of the law, as the facts in that case are not analogous to those here,
`
`where Seagen’s reply extensively directly quoted the transcript of Dr. Morita’s deposition.
`
`Seagen has also insinuated that Daiichi Sankyo Japan in its opposition to the motion to
`
`reopen engaged in the same self-help that Seagen did. (See Dkt. 262 at 3.) Not so. Instead,
`
`because Seagen’s motion to reopen mischaracterized and omitted pertinent context for and
`
`portions of the Texas Discovery Materials, Daiichi Sankyo Japan’s opposition included additional
`
`material and information. But all such confidential information cited in Daiichi Sankyo Japan’s
`
`opposition that was not already part of the Arbitration was Daiichi Sankyo Japan’s information.
`
`For example, Daiichi Sankyo Japan cited its own lab notebooks, its own witness’ testimony (Dr.
`
`Morita’s), and expert reports concerning its own such information.7 The Discovery Order and
`
`Protective Order restrict what a receiving party can do with the other party’s discovery materials
`
`when they are obtained solely from this action. Thus, Seagen’s insinuations are unfounded.
`
`Seagen has also argued that its use of the Texas Discovery Materials in its reply in the
`
`Arbitration does not constitute a violation because Daiichi Sankyo Japan’s opposition “opened the
`
`door for the parties to use the materials in the arbitration.” (Dkt. 283 at 3-4.) Seagen notably fails
`
`to cite any case law or provision of the Court’s Discovery Order or Protective Order supporting its
`
`theory that Daiichi Sankyo Japan’s use of its own information opened the door for Seagen to
`
`
`7 That Dr. Bertozzi’s supplemental report included only Daiichi Sankyo Japan information is confirmed by Seagen
`readily confirming that Daiichi Sankyo Japan, including those employees not designated under the Protective Order,
`could review it without any redaction. (See Ex. 7.)
`
`- 7 -
`
`

`

`Case 2:20-cv-00337-JRG Document 356 Filed 04/01/22 Page 9 of 13 PageID #: 12651
`
`
`violate the Court’s orders. (See id.) And, indeed, there is none.8 It must be emphasized that
`
`
`
`Seagen’s failure to seek leave of Court as required begat this entire situation. This is again a
`
`remarkable attempt at bootstrapping by Seagen: improperly use and misrepresent discovery from
`
`this action in the Arbitration; then, when Daiichi Sankyo Japan is forced to correct Seagen’s
`
`misrepresentations, claim that Daiichi Sankyo Japan’s response grants Seagen unfettered ability
`
`to quote and otherwise use the materials going forward. Seagen’s conduct warrants sanctions.
`
`3.
`
`Seagen Used the Texas Discovery Materials During Oral
`Argument Regarding Its Motion to Reopen the Arbitration
`
`Seagen continued its use of the Texas Discovery Materials without leave of Court during
`
`the January 19, 2022 oral argument on its motion to reopen the Arbitration. For example, Seagen’s
`
`counsel in oral argument described the contents of the lab notebooks as well as Seagen’s deposition
`
`of Dr. Morita about them, telling the Arbitrator:
`
`
`
`
` . . .
`
`(See Ex. 4.) Seagen also displayed several demonstrative slides during the oral argument that
`
`depicted direct quotations of Dr. Morita’s deposition transcript. (See Ex. 5.)
`
`The Arbitrator even raised the concern and question of whether he was permitted to see the
`
`discovery materials that Seagen was displaying and discussing, asking
`
`
`
` (See Ex. 4.) In response, Seagen’s counsel
`
`
`
` (Id.) That representation was false. For example, Dr. Morita’s
`
`
`8 The Discovery Order and Protective Order require leave of Court for a receiving party to cross-use discovery
`materials it received in this action. Those orders do not prohibit a producing party from using its own materials.
`(See generally Dkt. 51; Dkt. 248.)
`
`- 8 -
`
`

`

`Case 2:20-cv-00337-JRG Document 356 Filed 04/01/22 Page 10 of 13 PageID #: 12652
`
`
`deposition testimony was never presented in open court. Seagen’s counsel went further and urged
`
`
`
`an end-run around this Court and its orders: “
`
`
`
`
`
` (Id.)9
`
`4.
`
`Seagen’s Violations of the Court’s Orders Were Deliberate
`and Have Caused Undue Prejudice to Daiichi Sankyo Japan
`
`In its motion to reopen the Arbitration, Seagen acknowledged this Court’s Protective Order
`
`and Discovery Order and the requirement to obtain leave of Court. (See Ex. 1 at 1 n.1.) Seagen
`
`nevertheless proceeded to use the Texas Discovery Materials without leave. Additionally, Daiichi
`
`Sankyo Japan notified Seagen that its motion to reopen violated the Discovery Order and
`
`Protective Order (having to ask Seagen to explain any contention to the contrary four times before
`
`Seagen responded). (See Ex. 6.) Undeterred, without seeking leave or any clarification from the
`
`Court, Seagen proceeded to use the materials to an even greater extent in its reply, and then again
`
`in its oral argument and demonstrative slides. Seagen was well aware of its requirement to obtain
`
`leave of Court before using the Texas Discovery Material in the Arbitration, yet it ignored that
`
`requirement. This constitutes willful misconduct.10 See CEATS, 2021 WL 3738847, at *2 (“The
`
`most severe sanctions typically require a finding of bad faith or willful misconduct.”).
`
`Meanwhile, Daiichi Sankyo Japan has suffered and continues to suffer undue prejudice
`
`
`9 Additionally, Seagen has attempted to excuse its conduct at the hearing on its motion to reopen by saying it
`“referred only to information that had been previously submitted with the parties’ papers.” (See Dkt. 283 at 2.) That
`is misleading; what Seagen means is that it referred to information that it had previously submitted with its papers.
`However, it was improper for Seagen to have submitted those materials with its papers prior to obtaining leave of
`Court, so this explanation provides no excuse and instead reflects Seagen doubling down on its violation of the
`Court’s orders.
`10 Daiichi Sankyo Japan’s initial perception from Seagen’s filing of this action was that it is an attempted end run
`around the Arbitration’s discovery orders. Several Seagen actions fueled this concern, including heavily negotiated
`and hotly contested Discovery and Protective Orders. (See, e.g., Ex. 9.) It appears Daiichi Sankyo Japan’s concerns
`were not unfounded given Seagen’s improper cross-use and violation of the Court’s orders.

`
`
`from Seagen’s violations. It has incurred fees and costs in bringing Seagen’s violation to the
`
`
`
`Court’s attention (see Dkt. 278) while responding to Seagen’s efforts to conceal its misconduct by
`
`(1) unilaterally declaring Daiichi Sankyo Japan’s motion for leave moot (see Dkt. 296), and
`
`(2) offering to not oppose Daiichi Sankyo Japan’s previous motion for leave if Daiichi Sankyo
`
`Japan would withdraw its opposition disclosing Seagen’s violations and not pursue this motion for
`
`sanctions. Daiichi Sankyo Japan also faces undue prejudice of having relied on the protections of
`
`the Court’s orders only to have Seagen potentially violate them directly with no consequence.
`
`C.
`
`Appropriate Sanctions Include At Least Monetary Sanctions
`and Precluding the Use of the Documents and
`Deposition Testimony Improperly Cross-Used by Seagen
`
`Seagen’s repeated violations of the Court’s orders justify at least the imposition of
`
`monetary sanctions, including the reasonable expenses, costs, and attorneys’ fees associated with
`
`the preparation and filing of this motion and Daiichi Sankyo Japan’s opposition and sur-reply to
`
`Seagen’s Motion for Leave (Dkt. 262). See CEATS, 2021WL 3738847, at *11. A monetary
`
`sanction alone, however, may “simply set a price on violating the Court’s protective orders in a
`
`manner that could cause irreparable, unquantifiable harm.” Id. Accordingly, Daiichi Sankyo
`
`Japan also respectfully requests that the Court preclude the use, including at trial, of the documents
`
`and deposition testimony cross-used in the Arbitration without obtaining leave of Court. These
`
`sanctions—combined with any further sanctions the Court deems appropriate—are (1) tailored to
`
`Seagen’s conduct and the undue prejudice to Daiichi Sankyo Japan and (2) apt deterrents for future
`
`violations by Seagen and other litigants in this Court.
`
`CONCLUSION
`
`For the foregoing reasons, Daiichi Sankyo Japan respectfully requests this Court grant
`
`Daiichi Sankyo Japan’s motion and impose appropriate sanctions against Seagen.
