`
`MPI and Mylan Inc. are collectively referred to herein as “Mylan.” Mylan has admitted in pending
`
`patent litigation concerning infringement of the ’310 patent that MPI is a wholly-owned subsidiary
`
`of Mylan Inc. See Bayer Pharma AG et al. v. Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc. et al., C.A. No. 21-cv-

`Case 1:22-cv-00063-TSK Document 1 Filed 08/05/22 Page 4 of 13 PageID #: 4
`
`
`
`12.
`
`This Court has subject matter jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1331,
`
`1338(a), 2201, and 2202.
`
`13. MPI is subject to personal jurisdiction in West Virginia because, among
`
`other things, it has purposely availed itself of the benefits and protections of West Virginia’s laws
`
`such that it should reasonably anticipate being haled into court here. MPI is a corporation formed
`
`under the laws of the State of West Virginia, is qualified to do business in the State of West
`
`Virginia, and has appointed a registered agent in West Virginia to accept service of process. MPI
`
`has thus consented to jurisdiction in West Virginia. In addition, on information and belief, MPI
`
`develops, manufactures, imports, markets, offers to sell, and/or sells generic drugs throughout the
`
`United States, including in the State of West Virginia, and therefore transacts business within the
`
`State of West Virginia related to Plaintiffs’ claims, and/or has engaged in systematic and
`
`continuous business contacts within the State of West Virginia. Mylan has not, in particular,
`
`contested personal jurisdiction in West Virginia in related patent litigation in this district
`
`concerning infringement of the ’310 Patent. See Pending Infringement Action, D.I. 53 at ¶ 13.
`
`14. Mylan Inc. is subject to personal jurisdiction in West Virginia because,
`
`among other things, Mylan Inc., itself and through its wholly owned subsidiary MPI, has
`
`purposefully availed itself of the benefits and protections of West Virginia’s laws such that it
`
`should reasonably anticipate being haled into court here. On information and belief, Mylan Inc.,
`
`itself and through its wholly owned subsidiary MPI, develops, manufactures, imports, markets,
`
`offers to sell, and/or sells generic drugs throughout the United States, including in the State of
`
`West Virginia, and therefore transacts business within the State of West Virginia, and/or has
`
`engaged in systematic and continuous business contacts within the State of West Virginia. In
`
`addition, Mylan Inc. is subject to personal jurisdiction in West Virginia because, on information
`
`4
`
`

`

`Case 1:22-cv-00063-TSK Document 1 Filed 08/05/22 Page 5 of 13 PageID #: 5
`
`
`
`and belief, it controls and dominates MPI, and therefore the activities of MPI in this jurisdiction
`
`are attributed to Mylan Inc. Mylan has not, in particular, contested personal jurisdiction in West
`
`Virginia in related patent litigation in this district concerning infringement of the ’310 Patent. See
`
`Pending Infringement Action, D.I. 46 at ¶ 14.
`
`15.
`
`In addition, this Court has personal jurisdiction over MPI and Mylan Inc.
`
`because, among other things, on information and belief: (1) MPI, acting in concert with Mylan
`
`Inc., has filed an ANDA for the purpose of seeking approval to engage in the commercial
`
`manufacture, use, offer for sale, sale, and/or importation of Mylan’s ANDA Product in the United
`
`States, including in West Virginia; and (2) MPI and Mylan Inc., acting in concert and/or as agents
`
`of one another, will market, distribute, offer for sale, and/or sell Mylan’s ANDA Product in the
`
`United States, including in West Virginia, upon approval of ANDA No. 212220, and will derive
`
`substantial revenue from the use or consumption of Mylan’s ANDA Product in the State of West
`
`Virginia. On information and belief, if ANDA No. 212220 is approved, the generic Mylan product
`
`charged with infringing the ’310 patent would, among other things, be marketed, distributed,
`
`offered for sale, and/or sold in West Virginia, prescribed by physicians practicing in West Virginia,
`
`and dispensed by pharmacies located within West Virginia, and/or used by patients in West
`
`Virginia, all of which would have a substantial effect on West Virginia.
`
`16.
`
`On information and belief, Mylan derives substantial revenue from generic
`
`pharmaceutical products that are used and/or consumed within West Virginia, and that are
`
`manufactured by Mylan and/or for which MPI and/or Mylan Inc. is/are the named applicant(s) on
`
`approved ANDAs. On information and belief, various products for which MPI and/or Mylan Inc.
`
`is/are the named applicant(s) on approved ANDAs are available at retail pharmacies in West
`
`Virginia.

`
`18.
`
`Venue is proper in this district as to MPI pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1400(b)

`
`FACTUAL BACKGROUND
`
`20.
`
`XARELTO® (active ingredient rivaroxaban) is a factor Xa inhibitor. The
`
`2.5 mg tablet strength of XARELTO® is indicated for administration orally twice daily, in
`
`combination with aspirin (75-100 mg) once daily, to reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events

`

`

`Case 1:22-cv-00063-TSK Document 1 Filed 08/05/22 Page 7 of 13 PageID #: 7
`
`
`
`(cardiovascular (CV) death, myocardial infarction (MI), and stroke) in patients with chronic
`
`coronary artery disease (CAD) or peripheral artery disease (PAD).
`
`21.
`
`Janssen is the holder of New Drug Application No. 022406 for
`
`XARELTO®, which has been approved by the FDA.
`
`22.
`
`The ’310 patent, entitled “Reducing the Risk of Cardiovascular Events,”
`
`was duly and legally issued on November 10, 2020. The ’310 patent is attached as Exhibit A.
`
`23.
`
`As set forth in greater detail in the ’310 patent, the claims of the ’310 patent,
`
`incorporated by reference herein, cover certain methods involving rivaroxaban. For example,
`
`independent claim 1 recites, “A method of reducing the risk of myocardial infarction, stroke or
`
`cardiovascular death in a human patient with coronary artery disease and/or peripheral artery
`
`disease, comprising administering to the human patient rivaroxaban and aspirin in amounts that
`
`are clinically proven effective in reducing the risk of myocardial infarction, stroke or
`
`cardiovascular death in a human patient with coronary artery disease and/or peripheral arterial
`
`disease, wherein rivaroxaban is administered in an amount of 2.5 mg twice daily and aspirin is
`
`administered in an amount of 75-100 mg daily.”
`
`24.
`
`25.
`
`26.
`
`27.
`
`Bayer Pharma AG is the assignee of the ’310 patent.
`
`Bayer AG is an exclusive licensee under the ’310 patent.
`
`Janssen is an exclusive sublicensee under the ’310 patent.
`
`Pursuant to 21 U.S.C. § 355, the ’310 patent is listed in Approved Drug
`
`Products with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations (“the Orange Book”) in connection with the
`
`2.5 mg strength of XARELTO®.

`COUNT I: INFRINGEMENT OF THE ’310 PATENT

`

`

`Case 1:22-cv-00063-TSK Document 1 Filed 08/05/22 Page 8 of 13 PageID #: 8
`
`
`
`29.
`
`By letter dated June 1, 2021 (the “Mylan’s First Notice Letter”), Mylan
`
`notified Bayer Pharma AG and Janssen that MPI had submitted to the FDA ANDA No. 212220
`
`for Mylan’s ANDA Product. This product is a generic version of the 2.5 mg strength of
`
`XARELTO®.
`
`30.
`
`In Mylan’s First Notice Letter, Mylan also indicated that, in connection with
`
`its ANDA No. 212220, MPI had filed a Paragraph IV Certification with respect to the ’310 patent.
`
`31.
`
`In Mylan’s First Notice Letter, Mylan stated that Mylan’s ANDA Product
`
`contains rivaroxaban.
`
`32.
`
`After receiving Mylan’s First Notice Letter, Bayer and Janssen sued Mylan
`
`for infringement of the ’310 patent on July 22, 2021 in this district. See Pending Infringement
`
`Action, D.I. 1.
`
`33.
`
`The Joint Panel on Multidistrict Litigation granted Bayer and Janssen’s
`
`motion to transfer the Pending Infringement Action to the U.S. District Court for the District of
`
`Delaware for consolidated pre-trial proceedings in a Hatch-Waxman Multi-District Litigation
`
`proceeding before Judge Richard A. Andrews, captioned In re: Xarelto (Rivaroxaban) (’310)
`
`Patent Litigation, MDL No. 21-MD-3017.
`
`34.
`
`By letter dated June 21, 2022 (“Mylan’s Second Notice Letter”), Mylan
`
`notified Bayer and Janssen that it had submitted ANDA No. 212220 “to engage in the commercial
`
`manufacture, use, or sale of the proposed rivaroxaban product before the expiration of . . . the ’310
`
`[p]atent . . . .” On information and belief, Mylan’s ANDA No. 212220 contains a certification
`
`pursuant to 21 U.S.C. § 355(j)(2)(A)(vii)(IV) asserting that the ’310 patent is invalid,
`
`unenforceable, and/or will not be infringed by the manufacture, use, offer for sale, sale, and/or
`
`importation of Mylan’s ANDA Product. Mylan’s Second Notice Letter indicates that Mylan seeks
`
`8
`
`

`

`Case 1:22-cv-00063-TSK Document 1 Filed 08/05/22 Page 9 of 13 PageID #: 9
`
`
`
`approval from the FDA to engage in the commercial manufacture, use and/or sale of Mylan’s
`
`ANDA Product prior to the expiration of the ’310 patent.
`
`35.
`
`On information and belief, and in light of Mylan’s Second Notice Letter,
`
`the proposed labeling for Mylan’s ANDA Product directs a method of reducing the risk of major
`
`cardiovascular events (cardiovascular (CV) death, myocardial infarction (MI), and stroke) in
`
`patients with chronic coronary artery disease (CAD) and/or peripheral artery disease (PAD). On
`
`information and belief, and in light of Mylan’s Second Notice Letter, the proposed labeling for
`
`Mylan’s ANDA Product further directs the administration of Mylan’s ANDA Product and aspirin
`
`in amounts that are clinically proven effective in reducing the risk of MI, stroke or CV death in a
`
`human patient with CAD and/or PAD, wherein Mylan’s ANDA Product will be administered twice
`
`daily and aspirin is administered in an amount of 75-100 mg daily.
`
`36.
`
`The purpose of ANDA No. 212220 was, inter alia, to obtain approval under
`
`the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to engage in the commercial manufacture, use, offer
`
`for sale, and/or sale of Mylan’s ANDA Product with its proposed labeling prior to the expiration
`
`of the ’310 patent.
`
`37. Mylan intends to engage in the manufacture, use, offer for sale, sale,
`
`marketing, distribution, and/or importation of Mylan’s ANDA Product with its proposed labeling
`
`immediately and imminently upon approval of ANDA No. 212220, i.e., prior to the expiration of
`
`the ’310 patent.
`
`38.
`
`On information and belief, and in light of Mylan’s Second Notice Letter,
`
`the manufacture, use (including in accordance with and as directed by Mylan’s proposed labeling
`
`for Mylan’s ANDA Product), offer for sale, sale, marketing, distribution, and/or importation of
`
`Mylan’s ANDA Product will infringe at least claim 1 of the ’310 patent.
`
`9
`
`

`

`Case 1:22-cv-00063-TSK Document 1 Filed 08/05/22 Page 10 of 13 PageID #: 10
`
`
`
`39.
`
`In Mylan’s Second Notice Letter, as in Mylan’s First Notice Letter, Mylan
`
`did not contest infringement of the ’310 patent on any basis other than that the claims of the ’310
`
`patent were allegedly invalid.
`
`40. Mylan now has, and has had since the date of Mylan’s First Notice Letter,
`
`knowledge of the claims of the ’310 patent. Notwithstanding this knowledge, Mylan has continued
`
`to assert its intent to engage in the manufacture, use, offer for sale, sale, marketing, distribution,
`
`and/or importation of Mylan’s ANDA Product with its proposed labeling immediately and
`
`imminently upon approval of ANDA No. 212220. On information and belief, by such activities,
`
`Mylan specifically intends to infringe the ’310 patent.
`
`41.
`
`On information and belief, and in light of Mylan’s Second Notice Letter,
`
`Mylan plans and intends to, and will, actively induce infringement of the ’310 patent when its
`
`ANDA No. 212220 is approved, and plans and intends to, and will, do so immediately and
`
`imminently upon approval.
`
`42.
`
`On information and belief, and in light of Mylan’s Second Notice Letter,
`
`Mylan knows that Mylan’s ANDA Product with its proposed labeling is especially made or
`
`adapted for use in infringing the ’310 patent, and that Mylan’s ANDA Product with its proposed
`
`labeling is not suitable for substantial noninfringing use. On information and belief, and in light
`
`of Mylan’s Second Notice Letter, Mylan plans and intends to, and will, contribute to infringement
`
`of the ’310 patent immediately and imminently upon approval of ANDA No. 212220.
`
`43. Mylan’s submission of ANDA No. 212220 for the purpose of obtaining
`
`approval to engage in the commercial manufacture, use, offer for sale, and/or sale of Mylan’s
`
`ANDA Product was an act of infringement of the ’310 patent under 35 U.S.C. § 271(e)(2).

`

`

`Case 1:22-cv-00063-TSK Document 1 Filed 08/05/22 Page 11 of 13 PageID #: 11
`
`
`
`44.
`
`On information and belief, and in light of Mylan’s Second Notice Letter,
`
`Mylan has made, and will continue to make, substantial preparation in the United States to
`
`manufacture, use, sell, offer to sell, and/or import Mylan’s ANDA Product with its proposed
`
`labeling prior to the expiration of the ’310 patent.
`
`45. Mylan intends to engage in the manufacture, use, offer for sale, sale,
`
`marketing, distribution, and/or importation of Mylan’s ANDA Product with its proposed labeling
`
`prior to the expiration of the ’310 patent.
`
`46.
`
`The foregoing actions by Mylan constitute and/or will constitute
`
`infringement of the ’310 patent, active inducement of infringement of the ’310 patent, and/or
`
`contribution to the infringement by others of the ’310 patent.
`
`47.
`
`Unless Mylan is enjoined from infringing the ’310 patent, actively inducing
`
`infringement of the ’310 patent, and contributing to the infringement by others of the ’310 patent,
`
`Plaintiffs will suffer irreparable injury. Plaintiffs have no adequate remedy at law.
`
`48.
`
`This action is being commenced before the expiration of forty-five days
`
`from the date Bayer and Janssen received Mylan’s Second Notice Letter.
`
`COUNT II: DECLARATORY JUDGMENT OF INFRINGEMENT OF THE ’310
`PATENT
`
`Plaintiffs incorporate each of the preceding paragraphs as if fully set forth
`
`49.
`
`herein.
`
`50.
`
`The Court may declare the rights and legal relations of the parties pursuant
`
`to 28 U.S.C. §§ 2201 and 2202 because there is a case of actual controversy between Plaintiffs on
`
`the one hand and Mylan on the other regarding Mylan’s liability for infringement and active
`
`inducement of infringement of the ’310 patent.

`

`Case 1:22-cv-00063-TSK Document 1 Filed 08/05/22 Page 12 of 13 PageID #: 12
`
`
`
`51.
`
`An actual case or controversy exists between Plaintiffs and Mylan with
`
`respect to Mylan’s liability for infringement of the ’310 patent.
`
`52.
`
`The Court should declare that the commercial manufacture, use, sale, offer
`
`for sale or importation of Mylan’s ANDA Product will infringe and induce the infringement of the
`
`’310 patent.
`
`*
`
`*
`
`*
`
`WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs request the following relief:
`
`(a)
`
`(b)
`
`A judgment that Mylan has infringed the ’310 patent;
`
`A judgment ordering that the effective date of any FDA approval for Mylan
`
`to make, use, offer for sale, sell, market, distribute, or import Mylan’s ANDA Product, or any
`
`product or compound the use of which infringes the ’310 patent, be no earlier than the expiration
`
`date of the ’310 patent, inclusive of any extension(s) and additional period(s) of exclusivity;
`
`(c)
`
`A preliminary and permanent injunction enjoining Mylan, and all persons
`
`acting in concert with Mylan, from making, using, selling, offering for sale, marketing,
`
`distributing, or importing Mylan’s ANDA Product, or any product or compound the use of which
`
`infringes the ’310 patent, or the inducement of or the contribution to any of the foregoing, prior to
`
`the expiration date of the ’310 patent, inclusive of any extension(s) and additional period(s) of
`
`exclusivity;
`
`(d)
`
`A judgment declaring that the commercial manufacture, use, sale, offer for
`
`sale or importation of Mylan’s ANDA Product prior to the expiration of the ’310 patent will
`
`infringe and induce the infringement of the ’310 patent;
`
`(e)
`
`A declaration that this is an exceptional case and an award of attorneys’ fees
`
`for Plaintiffs pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 285;
