"Genmab receives royalties on the worldwide net sales of DARZALEX"
Payments made to the owner of an asset or intellectual property each time that asset is used or a product is sold, often calculated as a percentage of sales or a set amount per unit. Royalties matter to investors because they create predictable, ongoing income streams and affect a company’s cash flow and valuation—like a landlord collecting rent or an author getting a steady cut whenever a book is sold.

Engineered proteins that can attach to two different biological targets at once, like a two-headed key that fits two locks simultaneously; in medicine they often link immune cells to diseased cells or block two disease pathways at the same time. Investors care because this dual-action design can improve effectiveness or open new treatment options, but it also raises development complexity, manufacturing cost and regulatory risk, affecting a biotech company’s value and partnerships.
