Item 8.01 Other Events.
On November 4, 2024, Inhibrx Biosciences, Inc. ("Inhibrx" or the "Company") announced a legal victory in a trade secrets case brought by I-Mab Biopharma ("I-Mab") in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. The jury found in favor of Inhibrx, rejecting all allegations of misappropriation before it. I-Mab had initiated the lawsuit on March 1, 2022, alleging that Inhibrx and its Chief Scientific Officer, Brendan Eckelman, Ph.D., improperly accessed and used proprietary information related to several of I-Mab's research projects during a prior arbitration proceeding involving I-Mab, for which Dr. Eckelman served as an expert witness. However, the jury found no basis for these claims in finding in favor of Inhibrx. Certain matters remain before the Court.
