Re: Ferring B. VZ v. Teva Pharmaceutical Industries, Ltal, C.A. N0. 04-884-SLR
Client-Matter N0. 07 5105-0012
_ Dear William:
1 We write in response to your letter of April 24, 2006.
We agree that in view of the Federal Circuit’s denial of Ferring’s Combined Petition for Panel
Rehearing and Rehearing En Banc and in accordance with the parties’ stipulation, entered by the
Court on March 2, 2006, the stay in this proceeding is no longer in effect. Therefore, in view of
the foregoing, Fenring agrees to withdraw its complaint and dismiss this action with prejudice.
However, Ferrring will not agree to any stipulation regarding attorneys fees under 35 U.S.C.
§285. Teva’s offer to "compromise" by proposing that Feriing simply pay attorney’s fees and
costs in the amount of $363,958.18 is therefore rejected.
Sincerely,

Dennis J. ond lino
