`
`IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
`FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF WEST VIRGINIA
`AT WHEELING
`
`ASTRAZENECA AB and ASTRAZENECA
`PHARMACEUTICALS LP,
`
`
`
`
`
`Plaintiffs,
`
`v.
`
`
`
` Civil Action No.: 1:22-cv-35-JPB
`
`MYLAN PHARMACEUTICALS INC. and
`KINDEVA DRUG DELIVERY L.P.,
`
`Defendants.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`DEFENDANTS’ MOTION FOR PARTIAL SUMMARY JUDGMENT
`
`
`Pursuant to Rule 56 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Defendants Mylan
`
`Pharmaceuticals Inc. and Kindeva Drug Delivery L.P. (“Defendants” or “Mylan”) move the Court
`
`to grant partial summary judgment in their favor with respect to Count I of the complaint filed by
`
`Plaintiffs AstraZeneca AB and AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals LP (“Plaintiffs” or “AstraZeneca”).
`
`The basis for this motion is that, as explained in the memorandum of law being filed
`
`contemporaneously with this motion, AstraZeneca seeks in Count I specialized relief available
`
`under 35 U.S.C. § 271(e)(2). But AstraZeneca does not allege and cannot show that Defendants
`
`committed an act of infringement under the provisions of § 271(e)(2), because the patent-in-suit
`
`was not issued until after any submission that could have possibly infringed under that section had
`
`already occurred.
`
`Because AstraZeneca cannot establish the required act of infringement set forth in 35
`
`U.S.C. § 271(e)(2), and for the other reasons set forth in Defendants’ brief in support of this
`
`
`
`
`
`Case 1:22-cv-00035-JPB-RWT Document 156 Filed 10/20/22 Page 2 of 3 PageID #: 5991
`
`
`
`motion, Defendants respectfully ask the court to enter partial judgment in their favor as to all
`
`claims in Count I of AstraZeneca’s complaint.
`
`Respectfully submitted this 20th day of October, 2022.
