01/07/2014 Filed request to publish opinion. by attorney James Lynch of Latham Watkin for Third Party Medivation, Inc.
01/14/2014 Received: Asah Kasei's opposition to the request for publication by Medivation
01/16/2014 Mod. of opinion filed (no change in judgment). The opinion in the above-entitled matter filed on December 18, 2013, was certified for publication with the exception of parts II.B., II.C., II.D., and II.E. On January 7, 2014, a nonparty request for full publication was filed pursuant to California Rules of Court, rule 8.1120(a). Pursuant to California Rules of Court, rules 8.1105(b)(2), (b)(4), (c), and 8.1110, and for good cause appearing, this court grants that request in part and orders the opinion certified for publication with the exception of parts II.B., II.C.3., II.C.4., II.D., and II.E.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the opinion filed on December 18, 2013, is modified as follows and the petitions for rehearing are DENIED:
1. On page 5, in part I, the first sentence and first clause of the second sentence of the second full paragraph are amended to read:
Actelion had been following Ventavis since 2002 and had considered acquiring CoTherix to get rights to the drug, but as late as May 29, 2006, considered the company a second-rate opportunity because of Ventavis's shortcomings. Shortly after the June 28, 2006 public announcement of the License Agreement, Martine noted Fasudil's promise and the company began to explore the option of acquiring CoTherix. In July 2006,
2. On page 14, the entire paragraph in part II.A.2. is amended to read:
We independently review Defendants' legal challenge to the scope of potential liability for the tort of intentional interference with contract. (Ghirardo v. Antonioli (1994) 8 Cal.4th 791, 800.)
3. On page 49, in the first paragraph of part II.C., the third sentence is amended to read:
The jury also awarded Asahi $187.4 million in development costs and $75,000 in investigator-sponsored study costs that CoTherix would have incurred for Asahi's benefit to bring Fasudil to market if it had continued to perform under the contract.
4. On page 49, in part II.C., footnote no. 25 is amended to read:
25 The jury award of $450,000 in IND/Regulatory maintenance costs is not separately challenged here.5. On page 52, in part II.C.2.a., the fourth sentence of the second full paragraph is amended to read:
Increases in creatinine levels shown in the IR Fasudil studies were not clinically significant except at high doses. Increases in creatinine levels in ER Fasudil studies were not clinically significant and were reversible.
6. On page 62, in part II.C.3.b., footnote no. 33 is amended to read:
33 This analysis also applies to the award of investigator-sponsored study costs insofar as studies of inhaled Fasudil is concerned. Because Actelion does not attempt to segregate the amount of such costs that were attributable to inhaled Fasudil versus other formulations of Fasudil, it has forfeited any argument that a portion of the award of these costs should have been included in the remittitur. (Guthrey v. State of California (1998) 63 Cal.App.4th 1108, 1115-1116 [appellate court may deny claim on appeal that is unsupported by argument or citations to the record].)
7. On page 63, in part II.C.3.b., footnote no. 34 is deleted (with all following footnotes renumbered accordingly).
8. On page 63, a new final paragraph of part II.C.3.b. is added to read:
Actelion further argues that the award was not supported by substantial evidence of proximate causation. However, CoTherix was obligated to pursue development of inhaled Fasudil as long as the License Agreement remained in effect, and the evidence that oral Fasudil was likely to be approved and sold as anticipated supports the inference that, absent interference by the Defendants, the License Agreement would have remained in effect through 2019.
9. On page 64, in part II.C.4., the first sentence of the first full paragraph is amended to read:
On the evidence presented at trial, the jury reasonably could have found that-absent Actelion's tortious interference-CoTherix would not have exercised its termination right in 2009 or any time before 2019.
10. On page 67, in part II.D.1., lines 10 through 16 of the first partial paragraph are amended to read:
Indeed, several comments attributed to the Individual Defendants themselves are consistent with the comments that Actelion attempts to set apart: Simon's notes of an August 28, 2006 telephone conference could be construed to suggest that Actelion should "mudsling . . . Fasudil['s] great promise," and Simon wrote on the eve of the acquisition that if Asahi balked at the contract termination, "we could discuss risk-benefit ratio and the need to discuss several issues with the FDA before proceeding! I think [we] will be able to deal with them effectively!" Jean Paul personally wrote the March 23, 2007 letter indicating that Actelion might make adverse statements about Fasudil's safety to the FDA and the public if it was unable to resolve its dispute with Asahi and the jury reasonably could have found that this letter was a wrongful threat. And Martine

The modification effects no change in the judgment.
