On information and belief, upon approval of the Accord B2 NDA, Accord will be involved in the manufacture, distribution, and/or marketing of Accord s Proposed B2 Product. 33. In its March 11 B2 Notice Letter, Accord notified Plaintiffs that it had submitted to the FDA the Accord B2 NDA, seeking approval to engage in the commercial manufacture, use, or sale of Accord s Proposed B2 Product before the expiration of the 592 patent and that it had filed a B2 Paragraph IV Certification with respect to the 592 patent. The March 11 B2 Notice Letter was received by Sanofi U.S. on March 12, 2015. 34. On information and belief, in its March 11 B2 Notice Letter, Accord certified that the 592 patent is invalid, unenforceable and/or will not be infringed by the manufacture, use or sale of Accord s Proposed B2 Product. 35. The Accord B2 NDA refers to and relies upon the Sanofi U.S. s NDA No. 201023 for JEVTANA. 9

Case 3:15-cv-02520-MAS-LHG Document 1 Filed 04/06/15 Page 10 of 38 PageID: 10 COUNT I INFRINGEMENT OF U.S. PATENT NO. 8,927,592 BY ACCORD ANDA 36. Plaintiffs repeat and reallege paragraphs 1 through 35 above as if fully set forth herein. 37. By submitting the Accord ANDA under 21 U.S.C. 355(j) for the purpose of obtaining approval to engage in the commercial manufacture, use or sale of Accord s Proposed ANDA Product throughout the United States prior to the expiration of the 592 patent, Accord committed an act of infringement of the 592 patent under 35 U.S.C. 271(e)(2). On information and belief, Accord was aware of the 592 patent at the time the Accord ANDA was submitted. 38. If Accord commercially makes, uses, offers to sell, or sells Accord s Proposed ANDA Product within the United States, or imports Accord s Proposed ANDA Product into the United States, or induces or contributes to any such conduct during the term of the 592 patent, it would further infringe the 592 patent under 35 U.S.C. 271(a), (b), and/or (c). 39. Plaintiffs will be irreparably harmed if Accord is not enjoined from infringing the 592 patent. Plaintiffs do not have an adequate remedy at law. 40. Accord s certification under 21 U.S.C. 355(j)(2)(A)(vii)(IV) against the 592 patent was wholly unjustified, and thus this case is exceptional under 35 U.S.C. 285. COUNT II INFRINGEMENT OF U.S. PATENT NO. 8,927,592 BY ACCORD B2 NDA 41. Plaintiffs repeat and reallege paragraphs 1 through 40 above as if fully set forth herein. 10

Case 3:15-cv-02520-MAS-LHG Document 1 Filed 04/06/15 Page 11 of 38 PageID: 11 42. By submitting the Accord B2 NDA under 21 U.S.C. 355(b)(2) for the purpose of obtaining approval to engage in the commercial manufacture, use or sale of Accord s Proposed B2 Product throughout the United States prior to the expiration of the 592 patent, Accord committed an act of infringement of the 592 patent under 35 U.S.C. 271(e)(2). On information and belief, Accord was aware of the 592 patent at the time the Accord B2 NDA was submitted. 43. If Accord commercially makes, uses, offers to sell, or sells Accord s Proposed B2 Product within the United States, or imports Accord s Proposed B2 Product into the United States, or induces or contributes to any such conduct during the term of the 592 patent, it would further infringe the 592 patent under 35 U.S.C. 271(a), (b), and/or (c). 44. Plaintiffs will be irreparably harmed if Accord is not enjoined from infringing the 592 patent. Plaintiffs do not have an adequate remedy at law. 45. Accord s certification under 21 U.S.C. 355(b)(2)(A)(iv) against the 592 patent was wholly unjustified, and thus this case is exceptional under 35 U.S.C. 285. PRAYER FOR RELIEF WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs respectfully request the following relief: A.
