Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 58(d), Defendants Amphastar Pharmaceuticals, Inc., and International Medication Systems, Ltd. (collectively “Amphastar”) respectfully request entry of final judgment against Plaintiffs Momenta Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Sandoz, Inc. (collectively “Momenta”).
L BACKGROUND
The jury rendered its verdict in this matter on July 21, 2017 (Dkt. No. 1081). The jury found: 1. Defendants Amphastar Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and International Medication Systems, Ltd. (collectively “Amphastar”) infringe claims 6, 15, 16, 53, 54, and 62 (the “Asserted Claims”) of U.S. Patent No. 7,575,886 (“the ’886 patent”) for use of the 15-25% procedures and Disaccharide Building Block (“DBB”) procedure; 2. Momenta should be awarded $0.00 for lost profits and reasonable royalties due to the infringement; 3. The Asserted Claims of the ’886 patent are not anticipated; 4, The Asserted Claims of the ’886 patent are not obvious; 5. The Asserted Claims of the ’886 patent are invalid because the claims are not enabled; and 6. The Asserted Claims of the ’886 patent are invalid because the claims lack written description. The Court then entered a Memorandum and Order on February 7, 2018 (Dkt. No. 1139) ruling on Amphastar’s equitable defenses. The Court’s Order specified that: 1. Momenta waived its right to enforce the ’886 patent against Amphastar for use of its 15-25% procedures;

2. Momenta is equitably estopped from enforcing the ’886 patent against Amphastar for use of its 15-25% procedures; 3. Momenta did not waive its right to enforce the °886 patent against Amphastar for use of its DBB procedure; and 4, Momenta is not equitably estopped from enforcing the 886 patent against Amphastar for use of its DBB procedure.
I. THE COURT SHOULD ENTER FINAL JUDGMENT
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 58(a) provides that a final judgment “must be set out in a separate document.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 58(a); see also, Fiore v. Washington County Community Mental Health Ctr., 960 F.2d 229, 232-33 (1st Cir. 1992) (adopting a uniform approach for all orders denying post-judgment motions under separate rules as orders constituting judgments “subject to Rule 58’s separate document requirement.”); Willhauck v. Halpin, 919 F.2d 788 , 79394 (1st Cir. 1990) (providing that a district court fails to meet the “separate document” mandate of Fed. R. Civ. P. 58 when its final judgment is not recorded on a separate document). Furthermore, Rule 58(d) states that a “party may request that judgment be set out in a separate document as required by Rule 58(a).” Fed. R. Civ. P. 58(d). In this case, the Court’s February 7, 2018 Memorandum and Order was entered pursuant to Rule 52(a). (Dkt. No. 1139 at 5-6). To date, no final judgment under Rule 58 has been entered. Therefore, under Rule 58(d), Amphastar respectfully requests that the Court enter the Proposed Final Judgment attached as Exhibit A.
