INTERVET AND BTG’S RESPONSE TO DEFENDANT MERIAL LIMITED’S
MOTION TO STAY THE LITIGATION PENDING REEXAMINATION
Plaintiffs Intervet Inc. ("Intervet") and BTG International Limited ("BTG") hereby
respond to Defendant Merial Limited’s ("Merial’s") Motion to Stay the Litigation Pending
Reexamination. Intervet and BTG do not oppose Merial’s motion. Intervet and BTG do not.
however, agree to Merial’s characterization in its brief that Intervet and BTG knew that the
patent—in—suit was in reexamination when they filed the Amended Complaint. While BTG’s
outside patent counsel was given notice of the order granting reexamination on April 6, 2006,
BTG, Intervet, and litigation counsel for Intervet and BTG were not informed of the
reexamination order until after the Amended Complaint was tiled.
