Mar 20, 2024 178 ORAL ORDER: The Court, having reviewed Defendants' Motion to Determine Relatedness to C.A. 20-1589-JFB-CJB and Transfer of Case to Judge Bataillon ("Motion"), (D.I. 41), and the briefing related thereto, (D.I. 42; D.I. 59; D.I. 64), and having consulted with Judge Williams and Judge Bataillon, hereby ORDERS that the Motion is GRANTED and the case will be re-assigned to Judge Bataillon. The case is related to Judge Bataillon's prior matter (in Civil Action No. 20-1589-JFB-CJB) pursuant to the meaning of at least Local Rule 3.1(b)(2) and (4), for the reasons put forward by Defendants.

Mar 20, 2024 179 ORAL ORDER: As discussed at yesterday's preliminary injunction hearing, it would be helpful to the Court to have some further focused post-hearing briefing on some key issues now before it as to the pending preliminary injunction motion. To that end, the Court hereby ORDERS that by no later than March 27, 2024, both Plaintiffs and Defendants shall simultaneously each file with the Court a letter, not to exceed seven (7) single-spaced pages, in no less than 12-point font, further addressing the parties' arguments solely as to the issues of infringement and indefiniteness (and the related issue of claim construction, if appropriate), which in the Court's mind are the most difficult of the disputed issues at play here. It will be most helpful to the Court if in these filings, using language understandable to a lay person, the parties address what they believe are the key or best arguments in support of their position and explain why the other side's best arguments are nevertheless insufficient, while citing to the most important portions of the record or to the most important caselaw supporting their positions. Put differently, while the sides may have made many different arguments/citations in their briefing or their declarations about an infringement or definiteness issue, the Court is hoping here they will focus only on the most important arguments/citations and, using clear language, help the Court cut to the chase in terms of what it must address (and what it need not address) in order to resolve the issues.

Mar 14, 2024 150 ORAL ORDER: The Court, having reviewed the parties' March 12, 2024 letter, (D.I. 148), hereby ORDERS as follows: (1) With regard to the length of the hearing, each side will have 3.25 hours to present their case (inclusive of argument and direct/cross examination), with each side being able to use their allocated time as they see fit. We will take 15-minute breaks in the morning and afternoon, and have at least 30 minutes for lunch.; (2) With regard to the format of the hearing, the Court ADOPTS the parties' proposal.; (3) With regard to the issue of sealing the courtroom, the parties should be aware that Court does not expect to do so, absent a strong showing pursuant to applicable law that such sealing is warranted (and that there is no other less restrictive way to present the evidence or argument to the Court). If there are requests for sealing, the parties should make every effort to limit the number of discrete instances in which they seek to seal the courtroom.; (4) With regard to the disputed issue, the Court is not entirely sure it understands the dispute in light of the wording the parties have used in presenting their respective proposals. That said, the Court's view is that a party can rely on deposition testimony for any purpose during the hearing if the deposition testimony has already been submitted to the Court as part of the record on the ECF docket. In other words, the Court does not want have a situation where a party makes reference to a deposition transcript during the hearing (other than for impeachment purposes) and that transcript is not a part of the electronic case record on ECF, such that the Court would not be able to go back and review the transcript later by looking to the docket.; and (5) With regard to the parties' request to access the Courtroom for tech setup, they should contact the Court's Courtroom Deputy, Ms. Benyo to arrange this.

Jan 10, 2024 83 ORAL ORDER: The Court has reviewed the parties' pending discovery dispute motion ("Motion"), (D.I. 73), in which they take different positions about how to manage a potential preliminary injunction process in this case. The parties discussed that issue with the Court during an October 23, 2023 Case Management Conference, (D.I. 39), and then further presented their positions and the reasons for them in a December 15, 2023 Interim Status Report, (D.I. 71), and again in supplemental letter briefs, (D.I. 77; D.I. 79). In light of that, the Court has more than enough information about the parties' views to make a decision, and therefore today's scheduled videoconference, (D.I. 75), is CANCELED. With regard to the Motion, the Court ADOPTS Defendants' proposal. (D.I. 77-1) Although ANDA litigation is unique in some ways as compared to other forms of civil litigation (including other types of patent litigation), the Court generally tries to treat ANDA cases just as it would other civil matters. And in the main, courts rely on a plaintiff who intends to file a preliminary injunction motion ("PI Motion") to gather, on its own, whatever evidence it believes supports such a motion, prior to filing that motion with the court. That is because courts are not usually in the business of ordering parties to produce information relating to an issue that is not yet part of a case, or relating to a motion that has not yet been filed in a case (and may never be filed). Defendants' proposal here--by which they will provide notice as of a certain date of whether they will agree not to launch their ANDA products until a final trial decision in this matter--is less invasive than Plaintiffs' proposal and better aligns with this typical approach. It is also the path that another Judge of this Court followed in Novartis v. Accord Healthcare Inc., No. 18-1043-LPS (D. Del. Oct. 25, 2018) (cited in D.I. 77, ex. 1), and it is generally in accord with a number of other judicial decisions on this issue, (see D.I. 77 at 2). Ordered by Judge Christopher J.
