In this case, Allergan Inc., a global pharmaceutical company known for its development of various medical products, filed a lawsuit against Exela PharmSci, a biotechnology company, concerning issues of patent infringement related to Allergan's proprietary formulations and drug delivery systems.
**Facts:**
Allergan alleged that Exela PharmSci had infringed upon its patents by producing and distributing a product that utilized a similar formulation and delivery method as Allergan's patented drugs.

- **Defendant (Exela PharmSci):** Exela PharmSci contended that their product was developed independently and did not infringe on Allergan’s patents. They argued for a reassessment of the validity of Allergan’s patents, claiming that prior art existed that should nullify Allergan’s claims.
