AMGEN, INC., Plaintiff, v. F. HOFFMANN-LA ROCHE, LTD, ROCHE DIAGNOSTICS GmbH, HOFFMANN-LA ROCHE INC., Defendants. Civil Action No. 05-12237 WGY U.S. District Judge Young

DEFENDANTS' MOTION FOR JUDGMENT AS A MATTER OF LAW REGARDING INVALIDITY Defendants F. Hoffmann-La Roche, Ltd, Roche Diagnostics GmbH, and Hoffmann-La Roche Inc. (collectively "Roche") hereby moves for Judgment As A Matter Of Law Regarding Invalidity. Roche has presented substantial evidence to allow a reasonable jury to conclude by clear and convincing evidence that each asserted claim is invalid. Moreover, Amgen has presented no competent evidence to defeat Roche's clear and convincing evidence. Accordingly, a reasonable jury could be led to make just one conclusion: the claims-in-suit are invalid. This motion is made on the grounds set forth in the accompanying Memorandum. CERTIFICATE PURSUANT TO LOCAL RULE 7.1 I certify that counsel for the parties have conferred in an attempt to resolve or narrow the issues presented by this motion and that no agreement could be reached.
