Item 8.01 Other Events.
On June 29, 2016, we issued a press release announcing a research collaboration with Luna Innovations, Inc. to test the feasibility of incorporating taurolidine into electrospun nanofibers. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
As previously disclosed, we have brought several actions in Germany against our competitor TauroPharm GmbH alleging patent infringement and unfair competition. A hearing of the German Patent and Trademark Office was held on Wednesday June 29, 2016, at which the panel affirmed its preliminary finding that the utility
model of our Prosl Patent was invalid based upon prior publication of a reference to the benefits that may be associated with adding heparin to a taurolidine based solution. This judgment has only a declaratory effect, as the utility model had expired in November 2015, and it has no bearing on the ongoing consideration of the validity and possible infringement of the Prosl Patent by the European Patent Office (EPO). The EPO has yet to determine a hearing date for that proceeding.
