Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of De1aware in case no. 11-CV-1121, Chief Judge Gregory M. Sleet.
ON MOTION
Before LOURIE, SCHALL and DYK, circuit Judges. LOURIE, Circuit Judge. O R D E R
The court construes Aventis Pharma S.A. and Sanof`i- Aventis U.S., LLC (“Aventis")’s response to this court’s February 7, 2012 order as an unopposed motion to lift the
AVENTIS PHARMA v. STRIDES ` 2
stay and summarily affirm the judgment of the United States District Court for the District of De1aware.
This appeal arises out of a complaint filed by Aventis in the district court alleging infringement of U.S. Patent N0s. 5,714,512B1 and 5,750,561. ln a related case, Aventis Pharma S.A. v. Hospira, Inc., ()7-CV-0'721 (D. Del. 2010) (Hospira), the district court found that the same patent claims asserted in this case were invalid and unenforceable due to inequitable conduct In light of Hospira, the district court entered final judgment in this case against Aventis, and Aventis appealed to this court. This court stayed proceedings pending final disposition of Hospira.
On April 9, 2012, this court affirmed the district court’s judgment in Hospira. See Auentis Pharma S.A. v. Hospira, Inc., 675 F.3d 1324 (Fed. Cir. 2012). In light of this court’s decision in Hospira, Aventis concedes that the district court’s judgment in this case should be consistent with Hospira.
Accordingly, IT ls ORDERED THAT:
(1) The motion is granted. The stay is lifted and the judgment of the district court is affirmed
(2) Each side shall bear its own costs.
