Warrants Liability [Abstract]  
Warrants Liability
4.  Warrants Liability
 
The exercise price of the warrants we issued in September 2011 in conjunction with the private placement of our common stock (the "2011 Private Placement") and the warrants we issued in October 2011 in connection with our engagement of an intellectual property firm (ipCapital Group) could, in certain circumstances, be reset to below-market value. Accordingly, we have concluded that such warrants are not indexed to our common stock; therefore, the fair value of the warrants was recorded as a liability upon their issuance. Changes in fair value of the 2011 Private Placement warrants liability are recognized in other expense and changes in the fair value of the warrants issued to ipCapital are recognized as a component of general and administrative expense in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
 
We used a binomial pricing model to determine the fair value of our warrants as of September 30, 2012, the balance sheet date, using the following assumptions:
 
   
Estimated
Volatility
  
Annualized
Forfeiture
Rate
  
Expected
Option
Term
(Years)
  
Estimated
Exercise

Risk-Free

2011 Private Placement
  193%     3.917   10   0.47%   
ipCapital

The following table is a reconciliation of the warrants liability measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the nine months ended September 30, 2012:
 
Warrants liability – December 31, 2011 fair value
 $3,696,600 
Change in fair value of warrant liability recorded in other income
  2,417,800 
Accretion of warrant liability recorded in general and administrative expense
  52,700 
Warrants liability – September 30, 2012 fair value
 $6,167,100
