LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time the Company may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business. As of June 30, 2016, there were no pending or threatened lawsuits that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the results of our operations.

PATENT LITIGATION SETTLEMENT

Effective April 9, 2009, we entered into a Settlement and License Agreement with DataSci, LLC (“DataSci”). DataSci granted us a worldwide, non-exclusive non-transferable right and license under the Licensed Patent and the right to sublicense TrialMaster on a Technology Transfer and Technology Transition basis. Under the terms of the license, we are obligated to pay royalties quarterly for sales of Licensed Products, as defined therein, from January 1, 2009 until the expiration of the Licensed Patent equal to two percent (2%) of OmniComm’s annual Gross Revenues or, alternatively, the annual minimum royalty payment(s), whichever is greater. In addition to the payment of royalties, the Settlement and Licensing Agreement imposes certain obligations on us including commercialization, certain sublicensing, other payments, insurance, and confidentiality. In addition and as a license fee for past use of the Licensed Patent which may have occurred prior to the effective date of the Settlement and Licensing Agreement, we issued a warrant to DataSci to purchase 1,000,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $.01 per share. The Settlement and Licensing Agreement provides that upon the expiration date of the warrant, at DataSci’s sole discretion, DataSci shall exercise its option under the warrant or licensee shall pay DataSci $300,000. The warrant is exercisable commencing on the second anniversary of the Settlement and Licensing Agreement, April 2, 2011, through the expiration date of the warrant, deemed to be on the termination date of the Settlement and Licensing Agreement on May 12, 2018.

On June 23, 2009, we entered into an agreement to acquire the EDC assets of eResearch Technology. Concurrent with the consummation of that transaction we entered into the First Amendment to Settlement and Licensing Agreement with DataSci, (i) to include the eResearch Technology EDC assets acquired within the definition of Licensed Products, and as such subject to the royalty payment(s), under and in accordance with the Settlement and Licensing Agreement, and (ii) provide a release by DataSci of any and all claims of infringement of the Licensed Patent in connection with the eResearch Technology EDC assets acquired which may have occurred prior to the effective date of the First Amendment to Settlement and Licensing Agreement for an aggregate amount of $300,000.

The remaining minimum royalty payments per year are as follows:

2016	$	225,000
2017		450,000
2018		164,500
Total	$	839,500

During the six month periods ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015 the Company recorded a charge to earnings of $52,322 and $64,822 respectively, which amounts represent (i) the amount of additional license expense incurred above the stipulated minimum in the DataSci License Agreement during the six month periods ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015 and (ii) the accretion of the difference between the total stipulated annual minimum royalty payments and the recorded present value accrual of the annual minimum royalty payments.
