Item 8.01 Other Events.

On January 8, 2024 Hoth Therapeutics filed a patent application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) for the use of a therapeutic for weight loss (obesity) and the side effects associated with certain weight loss (obesity) therapeutics.

Obesity is a disorder characterized by the accumulation of excess fat in the body. Obesity has been recognized as one of the leading causes of disease and is emerging as a global problem. Various methods of treating obesity and related conditions, involve administering certain medications or combinations thereof. For example, a number of references disclose the administration of certain weight loss medications that include an anticonvulsant, an opioid antagonist, glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist and/or a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (NRI) to a patient in need thereof to affect weight loss. However, the administration of weight loss medications often incurs adverse side effects.
