INOVIO wins $80.4 million judgment against VGXI and GeneOne

INOVIO Pharmaceuticals secured a court judgment of $80,416,101 in Pennsylvania, comprising $61,750,789 in compensatory damages and $18,665,312 in fees and costs, after VGXI and GeneOne breached a supply agreement. The company filed the case on June 3 2020 and plans to pursue collection, but warns that the defendants’ financial condition may limit recoveries. Cooley LLP and FBT Gibbons represented INOVIO in the trial.

The judgment adds a potential $80.4 million asset to INOVIO’s balance sheet, but actual cash recovery depends on the defendants’ ability to pay, creating uncertainty for investors. The company’s forward‑looking statements note that collection may be reduced, reversed, or otherwise modified.
