Shire Files Lawsuit Against Mylan for Infringement of FOSRENOL(R) (Lanthanum Carbonate) Patent
Date:3/20/2009

PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania and DUBLIN, Ireland, March 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Shire plc (LSE: SHP, NASDAQ: SHPGY) announces that it has filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court of the Southern District of New York against Mylan Inc., Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc. and Matrix Laboratories Limited (collectively "Mylan") for infringement of Shire's patent: U.S. Patent No. 5,968,976 ("'976 Patent").

The lawsuit was filed in response to an Abbreviated New Drug Application ("ANDA") filed by Mylan seeking FDA approval to market and sell generic versions of Shire's 500 mg, 750 mg, and 1 g FOSRENOL(R) (lanthanum carbonate) products.

Under the Hatch-Waxman Act, because Shire filed its patent infringement lawsuit within 45 days of receiving Mylan's Paragraph IV notification letter, the FDA must refrain from approving Mylan's ANDA for 30 months, or until a District Court decision finding that the patent is invalid or not infringed, whichever occurs earlier. The stay on generic approval will expire on April 26, 2012 unless terminated earlier.

Shire has asserted the '976 patent based upon information provided to it by Mylan. Shire will continue to evaluate the situation throughout the litigation and will take all necessary actions to protect its rights to the fullest extent possible. Shire has a robust patent estate and is confident that it will protect the FOSRENOL franchise.
