Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
On April 2, 2024, the Company filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware against Teva Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc., and Teva Pharmaceutical Industries, Ltd., alleging infringement of U.S. Patent Numbers 9,040,074 and 9,950,069 and seeking a permanent injunction preventing U.S. market entry of Teva’s generic product prior to the expiry of such patents. By written stipulation dated June 11, 2024, Teva Pharmaceutical Industries, Ltd. was dismissed from the action. On May 19, 2025 the Company filed an Amended Complaint, adding U.S. Patent 12,268,745 to the litigation (the “745 Patent”). The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office issued the ‘745 Patent on April 8, 2025, and the Company subsequently added this patent to the Orange Book for JELMYTO. By orders dated February 27, 2025, and June 26, 2025, the court approved the parties’ joint stipulations to remove the Markman hearing and any related claim-construction proceedings from the court’s calendar. Following certain stipulations, the case is now styled as UroGen Pharma Ltd. et al. v. Teva Pharmaceuticals, Inc. et al. By order dated January 12, 2026, the court approved the parties’ joint stipulation to dismiss counts I, II, III, and IV of the Company’s Amended Complaint alleging infringement by Teva of U.S. Patent Numbers 9,040,074 and 9,950,069, with prejudice, and to dismiss counts I and II of Teva’s counterclaims seeking declaratory judgment that U.S. Patent Numbers 9,040,074 and 9,950,069 are invalid, as moot. By order dated April 27, 2026, the court approved the parties' joint stipulation to extend the deadlines for expert discovery and pre-trial activities and to postpone trial until January 2027, subject to the court's availability. No ANDA may be finally approved by the FDA until the expiration of Orphan Drug Exclusivity covering JELMYTO in April 2027. If the Company is unsuccessful in securing the requested court relief, JELMYTO may be subject to immediate competition from an FDA approved generic product after regulatory exclusivity for JELMYTO expires in April 2027.
