Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 7-12, Plaintiffs Amgen Inc. and Amgen Manufacturing

jointly stipulate to the dismissal, without prejudice, of all claims and counterclaims related to 

U.S. Patent No. 5,824,784 (“the ’784 Patent”) on the terms set forth herein:

1. Amgen’s cause of action directed solely to the ’784 Patent, specifically the Third 

Cause of Action of its Complaint filed May 12, 2016 [Dkt. No. 1], is hereby 

dismissed without prejudice.

2. Sandoz Inc.’s counterclaims directed solely to the ’784 Patent, specifically the 

Third Counterclaim and the Fourth Counterclaim of Sandoz Inc.’s Answer and 

Affirmative Defenses and Counterclaims filed June 23, 2016 [Dkt. No. 18], are 

hereby dismissed without prejudice.

3. The parties agree that neither party is a prevailing party with respect to the ’784

respect to the ’784 Patent, either now or at any future point in the case. To avoid 

any doubt, this stipulated dismissal of the ’784 Patent shall play no role in any 

argument for or determination of attorneys’ fees and costs in this litigation.
