IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA TAMPA DIVISION

APOTEX INC., Plaintiff, v. ASTRAZENECA PHARMACEUTICALS LP, ASTRAZENECA UK LIMITED, and IPR PHARMACEUTICALS, INC., Defendants.
Civil Action No.: 8:08-cv-213-JSM-TGW

DEFENDANTS' MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE UNDER SEAL AND MEMORANDUM OF LAW IN SUPPORT THEREOF Pursuant to Middle District of Florida Local Rule 1.09, Defendants request leave to file under seal certain portions of their Motion to Dismiss and Memorandum of Law in Support Thereof and to file under seal a certain non-public written communication with Apotex Inc. and Apotex Corp. (collectively, "Apotex") that will be exhibited in support of Defendants' motion to dismiss. The communication eliminates any case or controversy between the parties concerning U.S. Patent No. 6,316,460 ("the `460 patent"). I. PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND Defendants in this case sued Apotex on December 11, 2007, in the U.S. District Court of Delaware for infringement of U.S. Reissue Patent RE37,314 ("the '314 patent"), which claims the active ingredient, rosuvastatin calcium, in AstraZeneca's highly successful drug CRESTOR®. The action resulted from Apotex's filing Abbreviated New Drug Application ("ANDA") No. 79-145 with the United States Food and Drug Administration ("FDA"), and

Case 1:08-cv-00358-JJF-LPS

Document 22-13

Filed 06/20/2008

Page 2 of 5

certification to the FDA that it intends to market generic versions of CRESTOR® before the `460 and `314 patents expire.1 Defendants, however, did not sue Apotex on the `460 patent. Rather than respond to the Delaware Complaint, Apotex contested jurisdiction there and filed its own Complaint here in the Middle District of Florida, raising only a declaratory judgment claim against the `460 patent. Since then, Defendants have communicated with Apotex in writing regarding the `460 patent. The communication eliminates any case or controversy regarding that patent. As a result of that non-public communication, Defendants plan to file a motion to dismiss this action. Defendants intend to attach the writing as an exhibit to their motion. The

communication contains Defendants' confidential business information, which would commercially benefit other parties opposing Defendants in other litigations. To protect that confidential information, Defendants seek leave to file the following documents under seal: 1) the portions of the motion to dismiss discussing the non-public communication, and 2) the communication. II. LEGAL AUTHORITY AND REASONS FOR FILING UNDER SEAL According to Moore's Federal Practice: `Every court has supervisory power over its own records and files, and access has been denied where the court files might have become a vehicle for improper purposes.' Courts have always possessed the general power to restrict access to judicial

Apotex is among seven generic pharmaceutical companies to so challenge the `314 patent. In an effort to resolve the multiple challenges to its patent rights, Defendants filed seven related patent infringement actions in the District of Delaware on December 11, 2007 (C.A. Nos. 07-805, 07-806, 07-807, 07-808, 07-809, 07-810, and 07-811). Defendants have also filed a motion with the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation to transfer this and a similar, now stayed, action in New Jersey to Delaware for coordinated pretrial proceedings.

records, including obviously sensitive and confidential information. ... A party may request a court to restrict public access to filed papers on a showing that the disclosure would be harmful. In response to this type of request, a court will weigh the competing private and public interests and determine, under a balancing test, whether the private interests furthered by denying public access, e.g., preventing unfair pretrial publicity ... or protecting privacy interests, outweigh the public's interest to inspect judicial records. 1 Jeremy C. Moore et al., Moore's Federal Practice ¶ 5.34[2][c] (3d ed. 2008) (citing Nixon v. Warner Communications, Inc., 435 U.S. 589 (1978)). To avoid harming Defendants' future dealings with similarly situated adversaries and misperceptions that may arise from disclosure,2 Defendants request that the non-public communication and the portions of their forthcoming motion to dismiss discussing the communication not be made available to the public.3 There is no resulting prejudice to either Apotex or the public by filing that information under seal. Apotex will have full access to both the motion and the exhibited writing. In other words, Defendants propose to file with the Court and serve upon Plaintiff complete copies of the motion and communication under seal, while simultaneously providing the Court with a public version of the motion, without the

False impressions have already arisen in this context when the publication IPLaw360, misrepresented certain aspects of this litigation, including stating that the underlying `460 patent was "already at the center of myriad complaints that AstraZeneca has fired off in recent months against Apotex and a number of other generics makers ...." Sarah Stefanini, Generic Won't Infringe Crestor Patent, Apotex Claims, IPLaw360, February 1, 2008 (available at http://ip.law360.com/Secure/ViewArticle.aspx?id=45921). In reality, AstraZeneca has never asserted that patent against any party in any litigation. The communications, despite their dispositive effect on this action, are not a settlement agreement. (Cf. Local Rule 1.09 ("No settlement agreement shall be sealed absent extraordinary circumstances ... .").)

exhibit, containing redactions over the portions that discuss the non-public exhibited communication. Because public disclosure at this early stage of the proceeding can only harm Defendants with no concomitant benefit to Apotex or the public, Defendants respectfully request that the Court seal the communication and those portions of Defendants' motion to dismiss discussing the communication for one year, as provided under the Local Rule.
