On June 25, 2018, Citron Research published a report alleging that PolarityTE is a “fraud,” accusing it of failing to disclose that its key technology has been rejected patent status by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Citron Research further noted that PolarityTE failed to disclose its patent rejection in its subsequent SEC filings. On this news, PolarityTE’s stock fell sharply on June 25, 2018, thereby injuring investors.

The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period defendants made false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about PolarityTE’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose material information pertaining to a number of topics, including: (1) the status of Patent #14/954,335 at the time it was acquired by PolarityTE on April 7, 2017 and the months following; (2) the updated status of Patent #14/954,335 after its June 4, 2018 final rejection by the U.S. Patent Trademark Office; and (3) as a result of the foregoing, PolarityTE’s publicly disseminated financial statements were materially false and misleading.
