    agree
  • for infectious diseases Novartis may obtain a
    license on fixed terms
  • for another Anadys compound Anadys can go to
    third parties

8
ANDS/NVS TLR7 agonist option
  • both Anadys and Novartis brought TLR7 agonists to
    the collaboration
  • either party can nominate for development of a
    TLR7 compound belonging to either party

    in development costs
  • the royalty to Anadys varies based on option
  • no milestones are payable to Anadys
  • Anadys receives no co-promotion rights

10
ANDS/NVS royalties

  • the cost of third party licenses are generally
    shared expenses
  • development, commercialization manufacturing
    decisions may go to arbitration
  • Cephalon may terminate on 180 days notice

20
AVN/AZN interesting things about this
collaboration
  • AstraZeneca owns most collaboration IP and
    licenses it back to Avanir on a non-exclusive
    basis on termination
  • AstraZenecas commercially reasonable efforts
    limited to one licensed product per major market
  • opportunity to cure failure to make commercially
    reasonable efforts extends beyond 90 days

21
AVN/AZN interesting things about this
collaboration (cont)
  • royalty reductions generic competition
    compulsory licenses no valid claims and royalty
    stacking all to a floor
  • license payments made to third parties (which
    reduce royalties under the stacking provisions)
    are determined in AstraZenecas sole opinion

  • additional tumor types also will be explored
  • Pfizer also funds development of next-generation
    TLR9 agonists for cancers
  • Coley option to co-promote for CTCL

24
COLY/PFE interesting things about this
collaboration
  • Pfizer IP
  • milestone structure
  • next generation TLR9s royalties and milestones
    already set out in license

25
COLY/PFE Pfizer IP
  • Pfizer grants Coley a royalty bearing,
    non-exclusive license of certain IP for use
    outside the field

  • Pfizers patent claims must infringe an existing
    Coley patent claim

26
COLY/PFE milestone structure
  • based on regulatory events for both indication
    and treatment regimen
  • Major Indications first line adjuvant
    therapy for named indications
  • Intermediate Indications second line
    treatment for named indications
  • Minor Indications all other cancers

27
COLY/PFE other things of interest
  • final judgement on a patent claim in one
    jurisdiction applied in all other jurisdictions
  • Coley covenants not to sell any relevant IP
  • on termination all Coley IP returned, Pfizer
    grants license and assigns trademark royalty
    free
  • Co-indemnification - sharing of risk from
    losses except those arising from breach of
    covenant or warranty
  • detailed exhibit on a transition plan

28
New River/Shire Collaboration Agreement
  • Phase III for ADHD and all other indications
  • US
  • New River responsible for clinical development
  • New River may supply up to 25 of the sales
    effort
  • ROW Shire to develop and commercialize
  • New River responsible for manufacturing

29
NRPH/SHIRE financial terms
  • license fee of 50M
  • 50M on acceptance of filing of the NDA
  • up to 300M in milestones based on
    characteristics of the FDA approved product

30
NRPH/SHIRE financial terms (contd)
  • US sharing

  • thereafter New River/Shire 50 / 50
  • ROW low double-digit royalty
  • Shire may be entitled to refunds of amounts
    previously paid in the event of a delayed product
    approval

31
NRPH/SHIRE interesting things about this
collaboration
  • increasing refund to Shire as product approval is
    delayed past each of three dates - capped at
    50M
  • development options for new compounds and other
    indications
  • on termination for breach non-terminating party
    buys out breaching party a price to be determined
    by investment bankers

32
NRPH/SHIRE development options for new
compounds, indications
  • if New River proposes and Shire does not agree
    no development
  • if Shire proposes and New River does not agree
    development at Shires expense
  • New River can unilaterally develop a combination
    product
  • non-developing party has a Phase III opt-in right

33
NRPH/SHIRE other things to see
  • calculation of Net Sales is reduced by cost of
    third party licenses necessary for
    commercialization
  • Territory is the world diligence requirements
    are only in US and, after US approval, major EU
    countries
  • extensive warranties by New River on IP
    development activities to date scope of
    disclosure
  • exhibit summarizing supply terms

34
Protein Design Labs/Roche Co-Development and
Commercialization Agreement

    commercialization milestones

35
PDL/Roche (contd)
  • Roche and PDL will globally co-develop daclizumab
    in asthma and share development expenses
  • US PDL retains right to co-promote Roche may
    co-promote
  • ROW royalties on net sales

36
PDL/Roche there is a lot of history here
  • this collaboration dates from 1989, and was
    revised in 1999
  • based on the 1999 agreement, Roche pursued
    transplantation as an indication, but had rights
    for all indications

37
PDL/Roche in the 2003 amendment
  • PDL reacquired rights for all indications other
    than transplant by paying 80M
  • Roche can put the transplant rights to PDL, or
    PDL can cause the transplant rights to revert to
    PDL
  • after a phase II trial for asthma, PDL/Roche
    entered into this 2004 Asthma Collaboration

38
PDL/Roche interesting things about this
collaboration
  • co-promotion rights are controlled by PDL, not
    Roche
  • regulatory approvals, filings and data - are
    shared across territories and fields without a
    royalty
  • termination

39
PDL/Roche termination
  • termination on a region by region basis
  • all termination scenarios (with two
    exceptions)
  • reversion of rights to PDL
  • Roche technology to PDL
  • regulatory approvals, filings and data to PDL
  • trademarks to PDL

40
PDL/Roche termination (contd)
  • no royalties to Roche
  • in the case of PDLs default, R may choose
    instead to continue license and be relieved of
    due diligence obligations

41
PDL/Roche termination (contd)
  • exceptions termination of co-promotion in US due
    to
  • termination by Roche for breach of PDL Roche
    continues, PDL stops PDL can recover rights and
    pay Roche a royalty
  • termination by Roche for for failure to meet
    sales targets? Roche stops PDL pays a royalty
    (a different royalty!) until rights for
    transplantation revert

42
PDL/Roche other things worth seeing
  • descriptions in exhibit of development expenses,
    marketing expenses,
  • party abandoning joint patents enjoys immunity
    from suit enforcing the abandoned patents
  • Roche indemnifies PDL for infringement except for
    methods/materials used in manufacturing not
    previously disclosed to Roche (license payments
    to third parties are shared)
  • change of control language
