The patent owner does not have to rely on the ANDA applicant to first include the existing patent in its certification, as long as the ANDA applicant must have certified the patent. Marion Merrell Dow, Inc. v. Hoechst-Roussel Pharmaceuticals Inc., 32 U.S.P.Q.2d 1156, 1994 WL 424207 (D.N.J. 1994). If a patent is duly filed with the Secretary and recorded in the Orange Book, the ANDA applicant is aware of the patent and must certify the patent in his anda application. Id. at 1158, 1994 WL 424207. In Merrell, the court stated that “the correct question is: Should the certification have included the patent and, if so, is there infringement of the patent?” If the ANDA applicant does not certify a properly registered patent, the patent owner still has a cause of action under Section 271(e)(2)(A). Id. at 1159, 1994 WL 424207. Having initially held the patent pool responsible for Zenith`s non-participation in the UK market over the years, the trial court held, after further proceedings, that a State embargo and not the patent pool was the only reason Zenith had not entered the UK market before the onset of the injury period in 1959; Until then, according to the district court, the pool was “not required to engage in the kind of behaviour it engaged in in Canada.” However, it did not reverse its conclusion that Zenith had been excluded during the injury period by the restrictions imposed by the pool.
[Footnote 20] In this regard, we agree with the Court of Appeal that the trial court clearly erred. On the basis of our own examination of the files, we are convinced that, even with the lifting of the embargo in mid-1959, Zenith had to face other obstacles which effectively prevented its entry into the English market and for which the pool was not responsible. However, an FDA regulation addresses the situation where an NDA patent holder does not file its new patent information in a timely manner but has not received a notice of non-filing of patent information from the FDA. The regulation provides, among other things: Zenith therefore continued to operate without a patent license, without conspiratorial conduct and granted antitrust conditions. This deprivation in itself inevitably affected Zenith and harmed his affairs. We find the argument that Zenith was just as much unlicensed as with an absolutely unconvincing license. This is little more than an assertion that pool licenses, from which the CRPL and its participants generated significant revenues, had no value. Without the licence, doing business in Canada obviously involved significant risks for Zenith itself, in addition to having to convince merchants that it could legally and efficiently do business without CRPL`s approval.

“Any person, firm, corporation, or association shall have the right to bring an action and seek injunctive relief in any U.S. court having jurisdiction over the parties against any threat of loss or damage caused by an antitrust violation. if, and under the same conditions and principles as an injunction against a threat of conduct which will result in loss or damage, is granted by the courts of equity in accordance with the rules applicable to such proceedings. “Zenith`s burden of proof as a result of damage under section 4 of the Clayton Act must be satisfied by proof of the damage resulting from the unlawful cartel; An investigation beyond this minimum point relates only to the amount and not to the facts of the damage. It is sufficient that it be established that illegality is a substantial cause of the damage; A claimant is not required to exhaust all other possible sources of damage in order to discharge its burden of proof to compensate under paragraph 4.

Although a district court cannot order all future unlawful acts of the defendant or even all future violations of antitrust laws, regardless of how they are not related to the violation found by the court, e.g., New York, N.H. & H.R. Co.
v. ICC, 200 U.S. 361, 200 U.S. 401 (1906), During the proceedings before the district court on April 2, In 1965, the trial judge remarked, “Well, of course, Hazeltine Corporation was not a party to the lawsuit.” The fact that the court relies on this provision as the basis for its decision to reach judgment against Hazeltine and HRI is reflected in the exchanges between the court and Hazeltine`s counsel during these proceedings. Here is an example: “In Canada, we assumed that we would extend the period by 1. June 1959, as if we had a full-fledged organization and enjoyed the benefits of doing business there for years before that date. The Act contains no provision for cases where a patent is not filed on time and the Secretary does not inform the patent owner. In other words, the law provides no guidance on what the FDA should do if the patent owner registers his patent with the Secretary after the expiration of the 30-day period in Section 355(c)(2). HRI`s main arguments before the Court of Appeal were that no damage to Zenith`s business had been proven during the damage period; that if Zenith had suffered damage, it had to behave in whole or in part before 22 March. May 1959 and, to that extent, excluded by the limitation period and by Zenith`s settlement of certain antitrust disputes against RCA, General Electric and Western Electric in 1957, so that HRI was relieved of any liability for acts prior to the settlement of foreign patent pools; [Note 7] that the Hazeltine companies had not illegally conspired with foreign pools and that the damage was excessive.
