Litigation
On
August 17, 2023, Elite filed a Paragraph IV certification with its ANDA to generic OxyContin® and after Elite got acceptance of the
ANDA by the FDA on September 19, 2023, Elite sent the patentee and NDA holder a Notice Letter as required under the Hatch-Waxman Act.
On November 14, 2023, a patent infringement suit was filed in the District Court of New Jersey by Purdue Pharma. The parties submitted
several stipulations and proposed orders for staying the case until March 19, 2025 where the parties submitted a stipulation and order
lifting the existing stipulated stay. On April 18, 2025 Purdue filed an amended complaint. On June 17, 2025 Elite filed a Motion to Dismiss
Purdue’s First Amended Complaint. On July 3, 2025 Purdue filed a Second Amended Complaint. Elite filed a Motion to Dismiss Purdue’s
Second Amended Complaint on August 7, 2025. On September 2, 2025 Purdue filed an Opposition to Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss Plantiffs
Second Amended Complaint and Cross-Motion to Extend the 30-Month Stay. On September 29, 2025 Elite filed a Reply memorandum in Support
of their Motion to Dismiss and in Opposition to Plantiffs Cross Motion to Extend the 30-Month Stay.
Elite’s
launch of a generic OxyContin® will depend on approval by the FDA and the outcome of various litigation involving Purdue or the expiry
of the patents listed on the Orange Book.
