Item 8.01. Other Events.
On May 12, 2021, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (the “PTAB”) of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office instituted a post grant review (“PGR”) of U.S. Patent No. 10,561,659 (the “’659 Patent”) owned by Concert Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”). Incyte Corporation had originally filed a petition on October 28, 2020 requesting that the PGR be instituted. The ’659 Patent claims methods of treating hair loss, including alopecia areata, with certain doses of CTP-543, the Company’s investigational treatment for alopecia areata. The PTAB is expected to issue a final written decision with respect to the validity of the ’659 Patent within one year of institution of the PGR. The Company intends to vigorously defend the ’659 Patent.
