Under the Charpentier license agreement, the Company licenses a U.S. patent application that is currently subject to interference proceedings declared by the PTAB of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Following motions by the parties and other procedural matters, the PTAB concluded in February 2017 that the declared interference should be dismissed because the claim sets of the two parties were not directed to the same patentable invention in accordance with the PTAB’s two-way test for patent interferences.
