pre|CISION license deals - $ value18 Jan 2023 04:48
Now that the pre|CISION MoA is confirmed in human, delivering clinically relevant therapeutic doses with vastly reduced toxicities, Avacta can now command HUGE upfront payments + milestone payments for any potential partner looking to license the pre|CISION technology (of which there will now be many!).
Consider the **POINT license terms below** as a benchmark, **secured at the pre-clinical stage of AVA6K development**.
'We are further obligated to make aggregate milestone payments to AVACTA of up to $4,500,000, upon the achievement of specified development milestones for our first product and up to $3,000,000 each for any license products upon reaching the specified development milestone. In addition, we are obligated to pay a milestone payment of $5,000,000 for each product for the regulatory milestone of being approved in specified territories. There is also an additional single digit percentage fee payable to AVACTA for monetary payments arising from a grant of a sublicense to a sublicensee or in the form of other benefits. We are also obligated to pay a single digit percentage royalty (subject to a reduction on certain conditions) related to the annual net sales by us, our affiliates or our sublicensees for each licensed product or license process and a single digit percentage royalty on a specified product arising out of the patents. The royalty rate will be reduced by 50% for net sales occurring in the United States if there is no valid claim at the time of sale. There is also an additional single digit percentage fee payable to AVACTA for monetary payments arising from a grant of a sublicense to a sublicensee or in the form of other benefits. We are responsible for all costs and expenses incurred related to the development, manufacture, regulatory approval and commercialization of all licensed products. In January 2021, we paid $250,000 of the initial license fee.'
