On January 16, 2015, CorMedix Inc. filed a complaint against TauroPharm GmbH and its managing directors in the District Court of Cologne, Germany. In the complaint, CorMedix alleges violation of the German Unfair Competition Act by TauroPharm for the unauthorized use of CorMedix’s proprietary information obtained in confidence by TauroPharm. CorMedix alleges that TauroPharm is improperly and unfairly using CorMedix’s proprietary information relating to the composition and manufacture of CorMedix’s lead product candidate in the United States, Neutrolin®, which is approved for sale in Germany, in its manufacture and sale of TauroPharm’s products TauroLockTM, TauroLock-HEP100TM and TauroLock-HEP500TM. CorMedix seeks a cease and desist order against TauroPharm from continuing to manufacture and sell any product containing taurolidine as well as citric acid in addition to possible other components, damages for any sales in the past and the removal of all such products from the market.
