**Background:**
Eisai Co. initiated this case against Dr. Reddy's Laboratories alleging infringement of its patents related to a specific pharmaceutical product.

**Arguments:**
- **Eisai's Argument:** Eisai argued that its patents are valid, enforceable, and have been duly registered. They maintained that Dr. Reddy's generic version is substantially similar and thus infringes on their proprietary rights.
- **Dr. Reddy's Argument:** Dr. Reddy's contended that their generic formulation does not infringe on Eisai's patents, asserting that the patents in question are either invalid or not infringed, and they sought to introduce prior art that may invalidate Eisai's claims.
