| Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
| Commitments and Contingencies | . Commitments and Contingencies Litigation From time to time, the Company may be involved in legal and administrative proceedings and claims of various types. In some actions, the claimants seek damages, as well as other relief, which, if granted, would require significant expenditures. The Company records a liability in its consolidated financial statements for these matters when a loss is known or considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The Company reviews these estimates each accounting period as additional information is known and adjusts the loss provision when appropriate. If a matter is both probable to result in a liability to the Company and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, the Company estimates and discloses the possible loss or range of loss. If the loss is not probable or cannot be reasonably estimated, a liability is not recorded in its consolidated financial statements. BlueAllele Corp. v. Intellia Therapeutics, Inc. On July 8, 2024, BlueAllele Corp. (“BlueAllele”) filed a complaint alleging infringement by the Company of various patents in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware. Specifically, BlueAllele alleges that the Company’s experimentation, basic research, identification, optimization, manufacturing and/or use of bi-directional insertion template technology infringes the asserted patents and seeks unspecified compensatory damages and an injunction against the alleged infringing activities. On September 12, 2024, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the complaint, and on December 9, 2024, the court denied the Company’s motion to dismiss and discovery began. On January 6, 2025, the Company filed its answer and counterclaims, and BlueAllele filed a motion to dismiss the Company’s counterclaims on January 27, 2025. On February 21, 2025, the court substantially denied BlueAllele’s motion to dismiss, and granted the motion with respect to one counterclaim. At this stage, the Company is unable to determine the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome or estimate the amount or range of potential loss, if any. Gonzalez v. Intellia Therapeutics, Inc. On February 11, 2025, a purported stockholder of the Company filed a lawsuit, captioned Gonzalez v. Intellia Therapeutics, Inc., No. 1:25-cv-01353 (D. Mass.), in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts against the Company and certain of its officers (the “defendants”) on behalf of a putative class of stockholders who purchased Company shares from July 30, 2024 through January 8, 2025. On May 26, 2025, the court entered an order appointing co-lead plaintiffs and, on July 23, 2025, co-lead plaintiffs filed an amended complaint. The amended complaint alleges claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) and Rule 10b-5 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) premised upon statements relating to the Company’s NTLA-3001 program and the demand for viral-based editing. The amended complaint seeks unspecified damages, interest, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs. The Company intends to defend vigorously against the claims. On September 8, 2025, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. On January 14, 2026, the court held a hearing on the motion to dismiss, which motion has been fully briefed and remains pending. At this stage, the Company is unable to determine the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome or estimate the amount or range of potential loss, if any. Aiello v. Bhanji et al. On May 15, 2025, a purported stockholder of the Company filed a stockholder derivative lawsuit, captioned Aiello v. Bhanji et al. (C.A. No. 2025-0543-BWD), in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware against certain of the Company’s current and former directors (the “Individual Defendants”) and the Company as a nominal defendant. The complaint alleges claims for breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, and waste of corporate assets against the Individual Defendants based on, among other things, allegations of allegedly excessive compensation to the Company’s non-employee directors. The complaint seeks unspecified damages and restitution of compensation and other benefits from the Individual Defendants, corporate governance reforms from the Company, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs. On July 11, 2025, the Company and Individual Defendants filed answers to the complaint, and discovery commenced thereafter. At this stage, the Company is unable to determine the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome or estimate the amount or range of potential loss, if any. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, except as noted above, there have been no material changes to any outstanding litigation, nor is the Company a party to any material new litigation.
