    Nature of the Action

    approval to market a generic version of Novartis patented FOCALIN XR drug product in new,

    25 mg and 35 mg dosage strengths prior to the expiration of Celgenes United States Patent Nos.

    5,908,850 (the 850 patent), 6,355,656 (the 656 patent), 6,528,530 (the 530 patent),

    5,837,284 (the 1998 284 patent), 6,635,284 (the 2003 284 patent), and 7,431,944 (the

    Patents-in-Suit).

    The Parties

    6. Actavis initially prepared and filed with the FDA, pursuant to 21 U.S.C. 355(j),

    ANDA No. 79-108 concerning proposed generic versions of FOCALIN XR in 5 mg, 10 mg, 15

    mg, and 20 mg dosage strengths. Within forty-five (45) days of receiving notice of that ANDA

    filing, Celgene and Novartis instituted a lawsuit in this Court captioned Celgene Corporation,

    Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation and Novartis Pharma AG v. Actavis South Atlantic LLC

    and Abrika Pharmaceuticals, Inc. , Civil Action No. 07-5367 (FLW)(TJB) (D.N.J.) (the First

    Actavis Litigation). Pursuant to a confidential settlement agreement, that matter was resolved

    and dismissed without prejudice by this Court on April 22, 2010. The First Actavis Litigation

    and the resulting settlement concerned only Actaviss proposed 5 mg, 10 mg, 15 mg, and 20 mgproducts, which were the only dosage strengths included in Actaviss ANDA at the time. After

    the First Actavis Litigation was resolved, Actavis informed Celgene and Novartis, via Paragraph

    IV notices dated March 1, 2011 and September 20, 2011, that it had amended its ANDA No. 79-

    108 to include 30 mg and 40 mg dosage strengths of its proposed generic product. Actaviss 30

    mg product is the subject of an action currently pending before this Court captioned Celgene

    Corporation, Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation and Novartis Pharma AG v. Actavis South

    Atlantic LLC , Civil Action No. 11-2162 (SDW)(MCA) (D.N.J.), which was filed on April 15,

    2011. Actaviss 40 mg product is the subject of an action currently pending before this Court

    captioned Celgene Corporation, Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation and Novartis Pharma

    AG v. Actavis South Atlantic LLC , Civil Action No. 11-6519 (SDW)(MCA) (D.N.J.), which was

    filed on November 4, 2011. The parties recently reached a settlement of the litigations relating

    to Actaviss 30 mg and 40 mg products and have submitted the settlement documents for review

    by the relevant governmental authorities. ( See Dkt. No. 23 in Civil Action No. 11-2162, and

    Dkt. No. 8 in Civil Action No. 11-6519.) By way of a Paragraph IV notice dated February 3,

    Case 2:33-av-00001 Document 14408 Filed 03/16/12 Page 3 of 95 PageID: 277434

    2012, Actavis informed Celgene and Novartis that it had filed a new ANDA, number 203614,

    concerning proposed generic versions of FOCALIN XR in 25 mg and 35 mg dosage strengths

    (Actaviss 25 mg and 35 mg Products). The present action concerns Actaviss 25 mg and 35

    mg Products and is filed within forty-five (45) days of Plaintiffs receipt of that notice.

    7. Upon information and belief, if ANDA No. 203614 is approved, it is the intention

    of Actavis to commercially manufacture, use, and sell Actaviss 25 mg and 35 mg Products in

    the United States.
