Research Collaboration and License Agreement |
Research Collaboration and License Agreement | Note 7. Research Collaboration and License Agreement The Company and Zealand Pharma A/S (“Zealand”) entered into a collaboration agreement in June 2012. In October 2013, Zealand abandoned the collaboration, and the collaboration agreement was terminated in 2014. The agreement provides for certain post-termination payment obligations to Zealand with respect to compounds related to the collaboration that meet specified conditions set forth in the collaboration agreement and which the Company elects to further develop following Zealand’s abandonment of the collaboration. The Company has the right, but not the obligation, to further develop and commercialize such compounds. The agreement provides for payments to Zealand for the achievement of certain development, regulatory and sales milestone events that occur prior to a partnering arrangement related to such compounds between the Company and a third party. The Company previously determined that rusfertide is a compound for which the post-termination payments described above are required under the collaboration agreement and has made three development milestone payments for an aggregate amount of $1.0 million under the agreement. However, upon reevaluation, the Company concluded in 2019 that rusfertide is not a compound requiring post-termination payments under the agreement and initiated an arbitration proceeding in January 2020. On August 4, 2021, the Company and Zealand agreed to resolve the dispute and entered into an Arbitration Resolution Agreement. See Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies – Legal Proceedings for additional information on the results of arbitration proceedings related to this research and collaboration agreement Milestone payments to collaboration partners are recorded as research and development expenses in the period that the expense is incurred. $4.0 million in research and development expense was recorded under the agreement for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. No research and development expense was recorded under the Zealand collaboration agreement for the three and nine months ended September 2020.
