PLAINTIFF AMGEN INC.'S PROPOSED SPECIAL VERDICT FORM Plaintiff Amgen Inc. respectfully requests that the Court give the attached Special Verdict Form attached hereto as Exhibit A to the jury to assist in their deliberations.1

1

As noted in the Joint Pretrial Memorandum (D.I. 807), it is Amgen's position that obviousnesstype double patenting is a matter of law purely for the Court to decide. See In re Metoprolol Succinate Patent Litig., 2007 U.S. App. LEXIS 17463, at *10-11 (Fed. Cir. July 23, 2007). Amgen maintains this position, and addresses ODP in the accompanying proposed special verdict form in the alternative, should the Court decide to submit ODP issues to the jury. Amgen reserves the right to contest the submission of ODP issues to the jury.
