| Basis of Accounting, Policy [Policy Text Block] |
| |
a.
|
Basis of Presentation: The information presented as of March 31, 2023 and for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 is unaudited, but includes all adjustments (which consist only of normal recurring adjustments) that the management of Navidea Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Navidea”, the “Company,” or “we”) believes to be necessary for the fair presentation of results for the periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The balances as of March 31, 2023 and the results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with Navidea’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, which were included as part of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 27, 2023 (“2022 Form 10-K”).
|
Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Navidea and our wholly owned subsidiaries, Navidea Biopharmaceuticals Europe Limited (“Navidea Europe”) and Navidea Biopharmaceuticals Limited (“Navidea UK”), as well as those of our majority-owned subsidiary, Macrophage Therapeutics, Inc. (“MT”). All significant inter-company accounts were eliminated in consolidation.
|
| Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block] |
| |
b.
|
Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
|
|
| Revenue [Policy Text Block] |
| |
c.
|
Revenue Recognition: We occasionally generate revenue from grants to support our product development initiatives. We generally recognize grant revenue when expenses reimbursable under the grant have been paid and payments under the grant become contractually due.
|
We also earn revenue from product sales to end customers, primarily in Europe. Revenue from product sales is generally recognized at the point where the customer obtains control of the goods and we satisfy our performance obligation, which occurs upon either shipment of the product or arrival at its destination, depending upon the shipping terms of the transaction. Our customers have no right to return products purchased in the ordinary course of business, however, we may allow returns in certain circumstances based on specific agreements.In addition, we earn revenues related to our licensing and distribution agreements. The consideration we are eligible to receive under our licensing and distribution agreements typically includes upfront payments, reimbursement for research and development (“R&D”) costs, milestone payments, and royalties. Each licensing and distribution agreement is unique and requires separate assessment in accordance with current accounting standards. See Note 3.

| Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block] |
| |
d.
|
Net Loss Per Share: Net loss per share is calculated in accordance with the two-class method. Under the two-class method, net loss is allocated between common stock and other participating securities based on their participation rights. We have determined that the outstanding nonvested restricted stock represents participating securities. Net losses are not allocated to the nonvested restricted stockholders for calculating net loss per share under the two-class method because nonvested restricted stockholders do not have contractual obligations to share in the losses of the Company. Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, excluding the effects of any potentially dilutive instruments. Diluted net loss per share is calculated using the more dilutive of (a) the two-class method, or (b) treasury stock method, as applicable, to the potentially dilutive instruments. The weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period reflects additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential shares of common stock had been issued. Potential shares of common stock that may be issued by the Company include convertible preferred stock, options and warrants. See Note 5.

| Research and Development Expense, Policy [Policy Text Block] |
| |
e.
|
Research and Development Costs: R&D expenses include both internal R&D activities and external contracted services. Internal R&D activity expenses include salaries, benefits, and stock-based compensation, as well as travel, supplies, and other costs to support our R&D staff. External contracted services include clinical trial activities, manufacturing and control-related activities, and regulatory costs. R&D expenses are charged to operations as incurred. We review and accrue R&D expenses based on services performed and rely upon estimates of those costs applicable to the stage of completion of each project.
|
|
| Inventory, Policy [Policy Text Block] |
| |
f.
|
Inventory: All components of inventory are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or net realizable value. We adjust inventory to net realizable value when the net realizable value is lower than the carrying cost of the inventory. Net realizable value is determined based on estimated sales activity and margins. We estimate a reserve for obsolete inventory based on management’s judgment of probable future commercial use, which is based on an analysis of current inventory levels, estimated future sales and production rates, and estimated shelf lives. See Note 6.

|
| Intangible Assets, Finite-Lived, Policy [Policy Text Block] |
| |
g.
|
Intangible Assets: Intangible assets consist primarily of license agreements, and patent and trademark costs. Intangible assets are stated at cost, less accumulated amortization. License agreements and patent costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the license agreements and patents of approximately 5 to 15 years. Patent application costs are deferred pending the outcome of patent applications. Costs associated with unsuccessful patent applications and abandoned intellectual property are expensed when determined to have no recoverable value. We evaluate the potential alternative uses of all intangible assets, as well as the recoverability of the carrying values of intangible assets, on a recurring basis. During the three-month periods ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we capitalized patent and trademark costs of $24,341 and $76,175, respectively. During the three-month periods ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we abandoned patent applications with previously-capitalized patent costs of $469 and $47,774, respectively.

| Lessee, Leases [Policy Text Block] |
| |
h.
|
Leases: All of our leases are operating leases and are included in right-of-use lease assets, current lease liabilities and noncurrent lease liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. These assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of remaining lease payments over the lease term using the Company’s incremental borrowing rates or implicit rates, when readily determinable. The discount rates used for each lease were based principally on the Platinum debt, which was secured and outstanding for most of 2018. We used a “build-up” method where the approach was to estimate the risk/credit spread priced into the debt rate and then adjust that for the remaining term of each lease. Additionally, some market research was completed on the Company’s peer group. Short-term operating leases which have an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-and line basis over the lease term. Lease expense is included in selling, general and administrative expenses on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. See Note 9.

| Commitments and Contingencies, Policy [Policy Text Block] |
| |
i.
|
Contingent Liabilities: We are subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the normal course of business. In accordance with ASC Topic 450, Contingencies, we accrue for contingent liabilities when management determines it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. This determination requires significant judgment by management. As of the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we are engaged in separate matters of ongoing litigation with Capital Royalty Partners II, L.P. (“CRG”) and our former President and Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Michael Goldberg. See Note 10.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards: In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 was issued to provide financial statement users with more useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. ASU 2016-13 requires a financial asset (or group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. In addition, credit losses related to available-for-sale debt securities should be recorded through an allowance for credit losses. The amendments in ASU 2016-13 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application of the amendments is permitted. An entity should apply the amendments in ASU 2016-13 through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective (a modified-retrospective approach). The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
