7ANDS/NVS Option on another Anadys compound and
the field of infectious disease
- when the option is exercised, the parties shall
negotiate in good faith, and if they fail to

third parties
8ANDS/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 - for an Anadys compound if the parties cannot
agree on terms, Novartis may opt for a license on

sales - royalty reductions in countries where there is
no patent for required third party licenses for

and sale - Alkermes augments with a team of 30 treatment
system specialists - Alkermes has the option to field its own sales
force at the time of the first sales force
expansion, should one occur
17ALKS/CEPH interesting things about this
collaboration
- complete definition of commercialization costs
- the cost of third party licenses are generally
shared expenses - development, commercialization manufacturing

ongoing trials may be ended if it is medically
reasonable to do so

collaboration
- AstraZeneca owns most collaboration IP and
licenses it back to Avanir on a non-exclusive
basis on termination - AstraZenecas commercially reasonable efforts

24COLY/PFE interesting things about this
collaboration
- Pfizer IP
- milestone structure
- next generation TLR9s royalties and milestones
already set out in license
25COLY/PFE Pfizer IP
- Pfizer grants Coley a royalty bearing,
non-exclusive license of certain IP for use
outside the field - the IP must arise from the collaboration

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

indications - on termination for breach non-terminating party
buys out breaching party a price to be determined
by investment bankers
32NRPH/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
33NRPH/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
34Protein Design Labs/Roche Co-Development and
Commercialization Agreement
- worldwide agreement to co-develop and
commercialize Zenapax (R) (daclizumab) for
asthma - based on recent positive phase II data

35PDL/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
36PDL/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
37PDL/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
38PDL/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
39PDL/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
40PDL/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
41PDL/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
42PDL/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
