SANOFI - AVENTIS U. S. LLC v. MYLAN GMBH 2
Sanofi-Aventis U.S. LLC, Sanofi-Aventis Deutschland
GmbH, Sanofi Winthrop Industrie (collectively, “Sanofi”)
filed a patent infringement suit against Mylan GmbH, Bi-
ocon Ltd., Biocon Research Ltd., Biocon Sdn.Bhd., and Bi-
ocon S.A. (collectively, “Mylan”) in the District Court for
the District of New Jersey asserting Mylan infringed
claims 21, 22, 25, and 30 of Sanofi’s U.S. Patent No.
9,526,844 (“the ’844 Patent”). The district court found no
infringement of the asserted claims and that the asserted
claims are invalid for lack of written description. Sanofi ap-
peals.
We affirmed today in a related appeal, Sanofi-Aventis
U.S. LLC, et al. v. Mylan GmbH, et al., No. 2020-2068, the
final written decision by the U.S. Patent Trial and Appeal
Board in IPR2018-01680 holding that claims 21–30 of the
’844 Patent would have been unpatentable as anticipated
and/or obvious. Accordingly, Sanofi’s appeal from the dis-
trict court’s ruling is moot.
I T I S O RDERED T HAT :
Sanofi’s appeal in Appeal No. 2021-1262 is dismissed
as moot.
