expires, any pharmaceutical company can manufacture a generic version of the
drug and sell it. This helps the manufacturer of the generic incur only
manufacturing cost avoiding the cost of original testing, development and
marketing. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

as a firm's revenues goes down since these products can be replicated and sold
at much cheaper prices by competitors, opening opportunities for generic drug
manufacturers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

requires pharmaceutical companies to submit ANDA (for a therapeutic equivalent
to an originally approved drug) for approval. Hatch-Waxman Act is a
standardized U.S. procedure for recognition of generic drugs. FDA has also
launched the Generic Initiative for Value and Efficiency (GIVE) to help
modernize and streamline the generic drug approval process. More generic-drug
options mean more cost-savings to consumers, as they are less expensive
compared to the branded drugs.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="background: white; font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 115%;">John B. Adrain, an individual and inventor
residing in Spokane, Washington filed a patent infringement suit against </span>Samsung
Electronics, Samsung Electronics America and Samsung Mexicana claiming that a U.S.
patent relating to the field of monitoring and security was infringed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The patent involved in the suit
was: US5831669 entitled ‘Facility monitoring system with image memory and
correlation,’ originally issued to the inventor John B. Adrain by USPTO on Nov
03, 1998 and expiring<a href="file:///C:/Users/Reka/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/Temporary%20Internet%20Files/Content.Outlook/4M55VH40/Samsung%20Enters%20Settlement%20in%20Monitoring%20Systems%20IP%20SuitVS.docx#_edn1" name="_ednref1" title=""><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;">[i]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></a>
by Jul 09, 2016. The ‘669 patent relates to a system that records images and identifies
correlation or lack of correlation with the recorded images. Adrain owns the
entire right, title and interest in the patent at issue. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">As in Complaint:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The complaint alleged that
Samsung infringed the '669 patent by making, using, selling, offering to sell,
and/or importing "Smart TVs" that are covered by one or more claims
of the '669 patent. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">For example, Samsung manufactures
Smart TVs that have a built-in camera or a separately purchased camera that
monitor a space and are capable of facial recognition to create and log into an
account. One such model is the LED 8000 Series Smart TV (such as UN55F8000BF),
while another example is the Series 5500 (such as UN32F5500AFZA and a
VG-STC3000 camera).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The complaint further stated that
Samsung’s acts of infringement have caused damage and applicant is entitled to
recover damages in an amount subject to proof at trial.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 165.75pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The parties
reached settlement agreement, following which a
stipulation of dismissal of all claims and counterclaims was filed by Adrain.
The court granted the stipulation and ordered dismissal with prejudice. It was
further ordered that all attorneys' fees, costs and expenses will be incurred
by the parties. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Natick, Massachusetts-based Cognex
filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Microscan Systems, a global
technology leader in barcode, machine vision and lighting solutions in Southern
District of New York. The lawsuit was filed in Mar 2013 to prohibit Microscan

in Microscan filing an appeal with the Federal Circuit. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Microscan, without authority,
makes, uses, sells products and/or software that incorporate or make use of the
inventions covered by the '487 patent. Cognex cited Microscan’s Mobile Hawk™, a
handheld product used to read Direct Part Mark codes, as infringing the patent
held by Cognex. The complaint stated that Microscan was notified about the
patent in Jun 2012, thus making the infringement willful and deliberate. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The complaint alleged that LG has
infringed Celgard's patent by manufacturing, making, using, selling, offering
for sale and/or importing lithium-ion battery separators and batteries that
fall within the scope of the ‘586 patent. According to Celgard, the lawsuit has
been filed following a lengthy period of unsuccessful discussions with LG
regarding various business terms of its relationship with Celgard, including
infringement of the ‘586 patent. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The complaint said that the defendants
have sold and shipped batteries containing infringing battery separators to
consumer electronics, laptop, battery pack and/or electric device manufacturers
and/or distributors in the United States.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">LG’s infringement of the ‘586
patent has been willful and deliberate and thus are entitled to increased
damages and attorneys’ fees and costs, according to the complaint.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">LG filed a motion to dismiss for
lack of personal Jurisdiction and motion to transfer venue. Celgard filed a
motion for preliminary injunction and motion for jurisdictional discovery. The
court heard oral arguments on these motions in May 2014. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Having considered the motions,
the court granted plaintiff’s motion for preliminary injunction. It was also
ordered that defendants are preliminarily enjoined from manufacturing and
commercializing any battery, separator, or system that uses or constitutes (i)
LG Chem’s SRS technology, (ii) an infringing ceramic-coated separator, or (iii)
any rechargeable lithium-ion battery, cell, pack, module, or other device,

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Case Summary: <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Mallinckrodt, a global specialty
pharmaceuticals along with Canada-based, Nuvo Research filed a patent
infringement complaint against Amneal, a US-based manufacturer of generic
pharmaceuticals, concerning its filing of an abbreviated new drug application
(ANDA) with the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) seeking
approval to market generic version of Mallinckrodt’s pharmaceutical product
Pennsaid®, prior to the expiration of three US patents, which cover the use of
Pennsaid®. The case has been closed as the plaintiff filed a voluntary dismissal,
which was granted by the court. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The patents involved in the suit
were: US8217078 entitled ‘Treatment of pain with topical diclofenac’ and US8546450
and US8618164 entitled ‘Treatment of pain with topical diclofenac compounds’.
The patents were issued by USPTO on Jul 10, 2012, Oct 01, 2013 and Dec 31, 2013,
respectively. The patents are scheduled to expire<a href="file:///W:/Search_No%20Backup/USERS/Reka/Litigation%20Highlight/Mallinckrodt%20Ends%20Suit%20against%20Amneal%20over%20Anti-Inflammatory%20Drug.docx#_edn1" name="_ednref1" title=""><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;">[i]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></a>

of the ‘078, ‘450 and ‘164 patents (source: MaxVal’s <a href="http://www.allthingspatent.com/uspto-assignment-alerts/Home.aspx">Assignment

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Pennsaid®:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The drug was first developed in
Canada by Nuvo as a treatment for the signs and symptoms of osteoarthritis,
particularly the knee. Pennsaid® contains the active ingredient diclofenac, a
non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that is formulated with dimethyl
sulfoxide (DMSO). <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">NDA Holder:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Mallinckrodt licensed Nuvo’s
Pennsaid® patents and sought approval from the FDA to market in US.
Mallinckrodt is the current <a href="http://www.allthingspatent.com/patentmarker/ProductDescriptionNew.aspx?productid=8424&frm=s">holder</a><a href="file:///W:/Search_No%20Backup/USERS/Reka/Litigation%20Highlight/Mallinckrodt%20Ends%20Suit%20against%20Amneal%20over%20Anti-Inflammatory%20Drug.docx#_edn3" name="_ednref3" title=""><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;">[iii]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></a>
of the FDA approved new drug application (NDA) no. 020947 for diclofenac sodium
topical solution 1.5%, under the trade name Pennsaid®, in Nov 2009 (source: <a href="http://www.allthingspatent.com/patentmarker/">Patent Marker</a>).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">As in Complaint:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Mallinckrodt alleged that Amneal
infringed the patents-in-suit by submitting the Amneal ANDA, by which Amneal
seeks approval from the FDA to engage in the commercial manufacture, use, offer
to sell, sale, or importation of the Amneal Product prior to the expiration of
the ‘078, ‘450 and ‘164 patents. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The complaint further stated that
approval of the Amneal ANDA is substantially likely to result in the commercial
manufacture of a drug product that is marketed and sold for use in a method
claimed in the patents-in-suit. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Mallinckrodt wanted the judge to
declare the case an exceptional and award them attorneys’ fees in light of
Amneal’s conduct.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Mallinckrodt have filed nearly a
dozen cases and in 2013, it entered into an agreement with Amneal to distribute
generic version of Suboxone®, a prescription medication indicated for the
maintenance treatment of opioid dependence. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
