Genmab (GMAB) denied Saturday allegations of misappropriating trade secrets related to the use of disaccharides in antibody-drug conjugates in a lawsuit filed by AbbVie (ABBV).
The company said it would defend itself against AbbVie's complaint, which also named ProfoundBio and former AbbVie employees as defendants. Genmab acquired ProfoundBio in May 2024.
AbbVie is seeking damages and injunctions but is not pursuing patent enforcement, Genmab said.
Genmab said its collaboration with AbbVie on the epcoritamab program will not be affected by the lawsuit.
AbbVie did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment.
