APOTEX CORPRS MOTION TO DISMISS
Defendant Apotex Corp. hereby moves, pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. l2(b)(6), to dismiss
Count I ofthe complaint for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted, because
Apotex Corp. is not the party who tiled the Abbreviated New Drug Application (“ANDA") at
issue in this case, and under 35 U.S.C. § 271(e)(2)(A), only the entity that submits the ANDA
I can be sued for infringement under that section.
L Apotex Corp. also moves to dismiss pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(1), because there is
no case or controversy between Plaintiffs and Defendants under 35 U.S.C. § 271(a), and any
cause of action based on the preparation and tiling of and ANDA at issue in this case is limited
l to a claim for infringement under 35 U.S.C. § 27l(e)(2)(A). See 35 U.S.C. § 271(3)(l).
Finally, in the event that Apotex Inc.’s contemporaneoasly tiled Rule 12(b)(2) motion to
dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction is granted, Apotex Corp. moves to dismiss under Fed. R.
Civ. P. l2(b)(7) because Apotex inc. is an indispensable party and dismissal would be
appropriate under Fed. R. Civ. P. l9(b).
A memorandum in support of this Motion is tiled herewith.
