Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | 14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company is a party to various legal proceedings and claims arising out of the ordinary course of its business. The Company believes that, except for those matters described below, there are no other proceedings or claims pending against it the ultimate resolution of which could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations. At each reporting period, management evaluates whether or not a potential loss amount or a potential range of loss is probable and reasonably estimable under FASB ASC Topic 450, Contingencies, for all matters. Legal costs are expensed as incurred. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, a complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware by Knoninklijke Philips N.V. and IP2IPO Innovations, Ltd. (together, the “Plaintiffs”) against OpSens, OpSens Medical, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Haemonetics, and Haemonetics (1:24-cv-00206-CFC). The complaint alleges, inter alia, that OpSens’ interventional cardiology systems, including its OptoWire and OptoMonitor technology, infringe a single patent held by the Plaintiffs and seeks both injunctive relief and damages. The parties have agreed to postpone a claim construction hearing in the matter that was originally scheduled to take place in the first quarter of fiscal 2026. The Company believes it has valid and meritorious defenses to the complaint. The Company recorded loss contingencies related to this matter in the first and fourth quarters of fiscal 2025 and in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, which did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements. During the first quarter of fiscal 2026, the Company filed a complaint against Terumo BCT in U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado (1:25-cv-01409). The complaint alleges that Terumo BCT infringes the Company’s intellectual property rights with respect to its donor-centric blood plasma collection patents, as embodied in the Company’s NexSys PCS® with YES® technology and NexSys PCS with Persona® technology. While the Company will incur costs in the course of pursuing this claim, and the outcome of litigation is inherently uncertain, the Company believes this is a necessary and appropriate action to safeguard its innovations, protect its intellectual property, and further the growth and development of its business. On June 26, 2025, Terumo filed a motion to dismiss the Company’s complaint with prejudice claiming that the Company’s asserted patents were invalid under 35 U.S.C. section 101 for claiming non-patentable subject matter. On July 17, 2025, the Company filed an amended complaint, which added a recently issued patent. On August 4, 2025, Terumo filed an inter partes review petition with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, seeking to invalidate one of the asserted patents. In its petition, Terumo indicated that it intends to challenge other asserted patents through inter partes review and post-grant review proceedings.
