11. Exclusive License Agreement (Invizyne)

 

On April 19, 2019, Invizyne entered into an exclusive license agreement (the “License Agreement”) with the Regents of the University of California (“The Regents”) for patent rights and associated technology relating to the biosynthetic platform (the “Patent”). Certain individuals named as inventors of the Patent are also the founding stockholders of Invizyne. A founder of Invizyne was the head of the laboratory which was used in the research development agreement with The Regents.

 

Under the License Agreement, Invizyne holds an exclusive license of the Patent and a non-exclusive license for the associated technology to make, have made, use, have used, sell, have sold, offer for sale, and import licensed products. Invizyne also has the rights to sub-license its rights to the patent underlying the License Agreement.

 

 

Under the License Agreement, Invizyne has committed to pay certain royalties on net sales for 10 years after the first commercial sale of such licensed product. At September 30, 2023, there was no accrued royalties recorded.

 

Invizyne is obligated to make payments upon achievement of certain milestones as defined in the License Agreement. At September 30, 2023, none of the milestones had been achieved by Invizyne.

 

Under the License Agreement, Invizyne is required to achieve certain development milestones. If Invizyne fails to achieve a development milestone by the deadline, The Regents have the right and option to either terminate the License Agreement or reduce Invizyne’s exclusive and non-exclusive license in accordance with the License Agreement. As of September 30, 2023, the performance milestones have been met.

 

Invizyne may terminate the License Agreement, in whole or in part as to a particular patent right, at any time by providing notice of termination to The Regents as defined in the License Agreement.

 

Pursuant to a non-dilution provision of the License Agreement, no shares of Invizyne’s common stock were issued to The Regents during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

 

Invizyne accounts for the costs incurred in connection with the License Agreement in accordance with ASC Topic 730, Research and Development. The Company paid license fees for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, of $1,250 and $625 and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, of $3,750 and $1,875.
