COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES |
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | 6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Litigation The Company is, from time to time, subject to claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company intends to defend vigorously against any future claims and litigation. On March 5, 2024, Danielle Greene, a former employee, filed a complaint against us in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division, Mercer County, alleging breach of the New Jersey Conscientious Employee Protection Act (“CEPA”). The complaint specifically alleges that we violated the provisions of the CEPA by allegedly terminating Ms. Greene in retaliation for complaining about certain business practices. We dispute these allegations and intend to vigorously defend against them, but there can be no assurance as to the outcome of the litigation. Royalty/License Agreements The Company is party to various royalty and license agreements that require the payment of royalty fees. Royalty expense amounted to approximately $354,000 and $537,000, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, royalty expense amounted to approximately $1,594,000 and $1,643,000, respectively.
