Legal Proceedings
From time to time, the Company is a party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. In addition, the Company has in the past been, and may in the future be, subject to investigations by governmental and regulatory authorities, which expose it to greater risks associated with litigation, regulatory or other proceedings, as a result of which the Company could be required to pay significant fines or penalties. The costs and outcome of litigation, regulatory or other proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, and some lawsuits, claims, actions or proceedings may be disposed of unfavorably to the Company and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition. In addition, intellectual property disputes often
have a risk of injunctive relief which, if imposed against the Company, could materially and adversely affect its financial condition or results of operations. If a matter is both probable to result in material liability and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated, the Company estimates and discloses the possible material loss or range of loss. If such loss is not probable or cannot be reasonably estimated, a liability is not recorded in its condensed consolidated financial statements.
As of March 31, 2025, the Company did not have any material ongoing litigation to which the Company was a party.
On January 26, 2024, the Company was sued in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware by Advanced Accelerator Applications USA, Inc. and Advanced Accelerator Applications SA, each a Novartis entity, for patent infringement in response to the filing of the Company’s Abbreviated New Drug Application and Paragraph IV certification in connection with PNT2003, consistent with the process established by the Hatch-Waxman Act. Because the outcome of litigation is uncertain, the Company cannot predict how or when this matter will ultimately be resolved.
On February 23, 2024, the Company filed a patent infringement lawsuit against a healthcare-related imaging software developer, and that developer filed a motion to dismiss the case based on grounds of invalidity for certain patents and failure to state a claim for infringement for other patents. The court dismissed the developer’s motion to dismiss as to invalidity, and granted the motion as to certain allegations of infringement. Because the outcome of litigation is uncertain, the Company cannot predict how or when this matter will ultimately be resolved.
Royalties
On February 6, 2023, the Company acquired Cerveau and made an upfront payment of approximately $35.3 million to the stockholders of Cerveau (“Cerveau Stockholders”). The Company paid the Cerveau Stockholders an additional $10.0 million in May 2023 upon the successful completion of a technology transfer. The Company could pay up to an additional $51.0 million in milestone payments upon achievement of specified U.S. regulatory milestones related to MK-6240. The Cerveau Stockholders are also eligible to receive up to $1.2 billion in sales milestone payments upon the achievement of specified annual commercial sales thresholds of MK-6240, as well as up to $13.5 million in research revenue milestones upon achievement of specified annual research revenue thresholds. Finally, the Company will pay to the Cerveau Stockholders up to double-digit royalty payments for research revenue and commercial sales. As of March 31, 2025, these contingent payments were not expected to be payable due to the uncertainty around the timing of the future cash flows.
