The Company has entered into agreements which contain certain percentage volume purchase requirements. The Company has excluded these future purchase commitments from the table above since there are no minimum purchase commitments or payments under these agreements.
License Agreements
The Company has entered into license agreements in which fixed payments have been committed to be paid on an annual basis.
As of December 31, 2024, no future fixed payments are required under license agreements. The Company may be required to pay approximately $3.7 billion in contingent payments under the Company’s license agreements. These contingent payments include potential milestone or contractual payment obligations contingent upon the achievement or occurrence of future milestones or events and the amounts and timing of such potential obligations are unknown or uncertain.
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 consolidated financial statements.
As of December 31, 2024, 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 our 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.
