Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies Commitments In connection with its licensing agreements for Caldolor, the Company is required to pay royalties based on net sales over the life of the product. Royalty expense is recognized as a component of selling and marketing expense in the period that revenue is recognized. In connection with the acquisition of Vibativ, the Company is required to pay royalties based on net sales of the product. At the purchase date, Cumberland recorded the fair value of this liability and will continue to evaluate the liability each period and the royalty expense is recognized as a component of selling and marketing expense in the period that the change in fair value is recognized. In connection with the acquisition of Sancuso, the Company is required to pay up to $3.5 million in milestones and tiered royalties ranging from 10% to 5% on U.S. net product sales for ten years. Legal Matters Cumberland has a number of patents issued through the United States Patent and Trademark Office (the “USPTO”) including U.S. Patent number 8,148,356 (the “356 Acetadote Patent”) which is assigned to the Company. The claims of the 356 Acetadote Patent encompass the new Acetadote formulation and include composition of matter claims. Following its issuance, the 356 Acetadote Patent was listed in the FDA Orange Book. The 356 Acetadote Patent is scheduled to expire in May 2026, which time period includes a 270-day patent term adjustment granted by the USPTO. Since 2012, Cumberland has continued to vigorously defend and protect its Acetadote product and related intellectual property rights including the use of all its legal options. Melinta Litigation On February 2, 2022, the Company filed an action for breach of contract against Melinta Therapeutics, LLC and Targanta Therapeutics Corporation (collectively, the “Defendants”) in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (Case No. 1:22-cv-00915-VM). The Company and the Defendants are parties to an agreement (the “Agreement”), pursuant to which the Defendants have a license to develop and commercialize products under certain Company patents, in exchange for the Defendants paying the Company certain milestone payments and royalties on net sales of the licensed products. Specifically, the Agreement requires the Defendants to, among other things, make a $500,000 payment to the Company within 30 days following the first filing of an sNDA in relation to the Product (as defined by the Agreement) and a $500,000 payment to the Company following the approval of the first sNDA in relation to the Product. After Defendants disclosed the domiciles of its limited partners to the Company, as required by the Court, on October 24, 2022, the action for breach of contract was refiled in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York (Index No. 654234/2022) on November 7, 2022. The complaint alleges that, despite the Defendants filing an NDA and sNDA for the Product and receiving FDA approval for both applications, the Defendants failed to make the required total of $1 million in milestone payments to the Company. The Company was seeking damages in the amount of no less than $1 million, pre- and post-judgment interest under N.Y. C.P.L.R. § 5001, costs, and such further relief as the court deems just and proper. On April 18, 2023 the state court ruled in favor of the Company. On June 16, 2023, the Company received consideration related to the breach of contract action with the Defendants that finalized a settlement agreement that was entered into by the Company and the Defendants to close the case.
