Legal Proceedings

 

On March 4, 2020, Vytacera Bio, LLC filed a patent infringement lawsuit against the Company in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware. The lawsuit alleges that the Company's use, offers to sell, and/or sales of the Probody® technology platform for basic research applications constitutes infringement. The complaint seeks unspecified monetary damages. The Company filed an Answer, Affirmative Defenses, and Counterclaims on May 26, 2020. Vytacera Bio, LLC filed its Answer to CytomX Therapeutics Inc.’s Counterclaims on June 5, 2020. On October 13, 2021, the Court granted the parties’ stipulation to stay all pending case deadlines except for certain matters, pending resolution of claim construction. On May 9, 2022, the Court entered a claim construction ruling. Also on May 9, 2022, the case was assigned to the District of Delaware’s Vacant Judgeship. No new case deadlines have been set. The Company believes that the lawsuit is without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself, and has not recorded any amount for claims associated with this lawsuit as of June 30, 2022.
