Note 19  Commitments and Contingencies

 

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications with its employees, licensors, suppliers and service providers. Further, the Company indemnifies its directors and officers who are, or were, serving at the Company’s request in such capacities. The Company’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The Company does not anticipate recognizing any significant losses relating to these arrangements.

 

On  April 2, 2024, the Company filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware against Teva Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc., and Teva Pharmaceutical Industries, Ltd., alleging infringement of U.S. Patent Numbers 9,040,074 and 9,950,069 and seeking a permanent injunction preventing U.S. market entry of Teva’s generic product prior to the expiry of such patents. By written stipulation dated  June 11, 2024, Teva Pharmaceutical Industries, Ltd. was dismissed from the action. On  May 19, 2025, the Company filed an Amended Complaint, adding U.S. Patent 12,268,745 to the litigation (the “745 Patent”). The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office issued the ‘745 Patent on  April 8, 2025, and the Company subsequently added this patent to the Orange Book for JELMYTO. By orders dated  February 27, 2025, and  June 26, 2025, the court approved the parties’ joint stipulations to remove the Markman hearing and any related claim-construction proceedings from the court’s calendar. Following certain stipulations, the case is now styled as UroGen Pharma Ltd. et al. v. Teva Pharmaceuticals, Inc. et al. By order dated  January 12, 2026, the court approved the parties’ joint stipulation to dismiss counts I, II, III, and IV of the Company’s Amended Complaint alleging infringement by Teva of U.S. Patent Numbers 9,040,074 and 9,950,069, with prejudice, and to dismiss counts I and II of Teva’s counterclaims seeking declaratory judgment that U.S. Patent Numbers 9,040,074 and 9,950,069 are invalid, as moot. By order dated April 27, 2026, the court approved the parties' joint stipulation to extend the deadlines for expert discovery and pre-trial activities and to postpone trial until January 2027, subject to the court's availability. No ANDA  may be finally approved by the FDA until the expiration of Orphan Drug Exclusivity covering JELMYTO in  April 2027. If the Company is unsuccessful in securing the requested court relief, JELMYTO  may be subject to immediate competition from an FDA approved generic product after regulatory exclusivity for JELMYTO expires in  April 2027.
