CONTRACT BETWEEN NYU AND A PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANY CONCERNING THE DEVELOPMENT OF A CANCER-INHIBITING DRUG IS AMBIGUOUS, NYU’S COMPLAINT SEEKING ROYALTIES SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN DISMISSED.

The First Department, in a full-fledged opinion by Justice Andrias, over a two-justice dissenting opinion, reversing Supreme Court, determined the terms of a contract between New York University (NYU) and a pharmaceutical company were ambiguous. Therefore NYU’s complaint seeking royalties for its role in the development of a cancer-inhibiting drug should not have been dismissed. The language of the contract is too technical to fairly summarize here. New York Univ. v Pfizer Inc., 2017 NY Slip Op 03464, 1st Dept. 5-2-17
