United States Court of Appeals

for the Federal Circuit

ELI LILLY AND COMPANY,

Plaintiff-Appellee,

v.

TEVA PARENTERAL MEDICINES, INC., APP

PHARMACEUTICALS LLC, PLIVA HRVATSKA

D.O.O., TEVA PHARMACEUTICALS USA, INC., AND

BARR LABORATORIES, INC.,

Defendants-Appellants.

2014-1455

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana in No. 1:10-cv-01376-TWP-DKL, Judge Tonya Walton Pratt.

ON MOTION

Before REYNA, BRYSON, and TARANTO, Circuit Judges.

O R D E R

The parties jointly move to remand this appeal so that they can litigate the issue of infringement in light of the

22 ELI LILLY AND COMPANY v. TEVA PARENTERAL MEDICINES

United States Supreme Court’s recent decision in Limelight Networks, Inc. v. Akamai Technologies, Inc., 134 S. Ct. 2111 (2014). In the district court, the parties jointly stipulated to induced infringement and proceeded to trial only on validity. As part of that stipulation, however, appellants reserved the right to litigate infringement if the Supreme Court granted the then-pending petition for writ of certiorari in Akamai and reversed or vacated this court’s decision.

Accordingly,

IT IS ORDERED THAT:

(1) The motion is granted. This case is remanded for further proceedings consistent with this order.

(2) Each side shall bear its own costs.
