TEVA’S MOTION TO DISMISS COMPLAINT
AND FOR AN AWARD OF ATTORNEY’S FEES AND COSTS
Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. and Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Limited ("Teva")
respecthtlly move the Court to dismiss Ferring B.V.’s ("Ferring") complaint and to award Teva
its attorney’s fees and costs pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 285. This case has been stayed while
Fenring petitioned the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit for en banc
rehearing of its decision in a related case. Ferring previously represented to the C ourt and Teva
that, if the Court would stay the action pending its appeal to the Federal Circuit, it would dismiss
its complaint if the Federal Circuit denied its appeal. Now that the Federal Circuit has denied
Fen‘ing’s appeal and the case no longer is stayed, Teva respectfully requests the Court to dismiss
this case and to award Teva its attorney’s fees, for the reasons set forth in Teva’s brief, tiled
herewith.
