Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Note 9 - Commitments and Contingencies Litigation Because of the nature of the Company’s it is subject to claims and/or threatened legal actions, which arise out of the normal course of business. Other than the disclosure below, as of the date of this filing, the Company is not aware of any pending lawsuits against them, its officers or directors. Paragraph IV Challenge The Company’s Prestalia product was involved in a paragraph IV challenge regarding patents issued to perindopril arginine. This challenge, which was pending in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (No. 1:17-cv-00276), was captioned Apotex Inc. and Apotex Corp. v. Symplmed Pharmaceuticals, LLC and Les Laboratoires Servier. The challengers (Apotex Inc. and Apotex Corp. (“Apotex”)) filed an Abbreviated New Drug Application seeking FDA approval to market a generic version of Prestalia and included a Paragraph (IV) certification. In the litigation, Apotex sought a declaratory judgment that no valid claims of the two patents Symplmed listed in the FDA Orange Book as having claims covering Prestalia, U.S. Patent No. 6,696,481 and 7,846,961, will be infringed by the Apotex proposed generic version of Prestalia and that the claims of those patents are invalid. The challenge was designed to provide Apotex with an opportunity to enter the market with a generic version of Prestalia, ahead of the expiration of the patents with claims covering that product. Apotex entered into negotiations with Symplmed Pharmaceuticals, LLC (which entity sold its assets relating to Prestalia to us in June 2017, including its License and Commercialization Agreement with Les Laboratories Servier) and Les Laboratories Servier (which entity owns or controls intellectual property rights relating to pharmaceutical products containing as an active pharmaceutical ingredient perindopril in combination with other active pharmaceutical ingredients, which rights have been licensed to Symplmed Pharmaceuticals) to resolve the challenge in the second quarter of 2017. Such parties, along with us, have reached an agreement on terms that result in a delay to the challengers’ ability to enter the market with a generic version of Prestalia, while still providing the challenger with the right to enter the market prior to the expiration of the patent covering such product. Specifically, the parties have entered into a Confidential Settlement Agreement in connection with the settlement of the matter, pursuant to which, among other things, the parties entered into a Confidential License Agreement, whereby Symplmed, Servier and our company agreed to grant to Apotex a non-transferable, non-sublicensable, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to the two patents listed in the FDA Orange Book as having claims covering Prestalia to make, use and market a generic version of Prestalia, or import a generic version of Prestalia from India into the United States, on or after January 1, 2021. As a result of the foregoing, the matter is now settled. Leases The Company entered into a Standard Form Office Lease with ROC III Fairlead Imperial Center, LLC, as landlord, pursuant to which we lease our corporate headquarters located at 4721 Emperor Boulevard, Suite 350, Durham, North Carolina 27703 for a term of 37 months starting on October 1, 2018. Our base monthly rent for such space is currently $6,458, which amount will increase to $7,057 for the final month of the term. Other than the lease for our corporate headquarters, we do not own or lease any real property or facilities that are material to our current business operations. As we expand our business operations, we may seek to lease additional facilities of our own in order to support our operational and administrative needs under our current operating plan. The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02 on January 1, 2019, using a modified retrospective approach at the adoption date through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings. The adoption did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated statement of operations. However, the new standard required the Company to establish approximately $0.2 million of liabilities and corresponding right-of-use assets of approximately $0.2 million on its condensed consolidated balance sheet for operating leases on rented office properties that existed as of the January 1, 2019, adoption date. The total right-of-use asset was approximately $178,000 as of June 30, 2019 and is reflected in the operating lease right of use asset on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. The total related liability was approximately $185,000 as of June 30, 2019, of which approximately $78,000 is included in current portion of operating lease liability and approximately $107,000 is reflected in operating lease liability, net of current portion on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.
