In January 2018, QED entered into a License Agreement with Novartis International Pharmaceutical, Inc. (“Novartis”), pursuant to which QED acquired certain intellectual property rights, including patents and know-how, related to infigratinib for the treatment of patients with FGFR-driven diseases. QED accounted for the transaction as an asset acquisition as substantially all of the estimated fair value of the gross assets acquired was concentrated in a single identified asset, in-process research and development (“IPR&D”), thus satisfying the requirements of the screen test in ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805), Clarifying the Definition of a Business. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction were measured based on their fair values. The fair value of the IPR&D acquired was charged to research and development expense as it had no alternative future use at the time of the acquisition.

If certain substantial milestones are met, QED could be required to pay up to $60.0 million in regulatory milestone payments, $35.0 million in sales-based milestone payments, and pay royalties of up to low double-digit percentages on net sales. Following the FDA approval of TRUSELTIQ in May 2021, we paid a one-time regulatory milestone payment to Novartis of $20.0 million. We capitalized such payment as a finite-lived intangible asset and amortize the amount over its estimated useful life on a straight-line basis.

In June 2018, our subsidiary Origin Biosciences, Inc. (“Origin”) entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Alexion Pharma Holding Unlimited Company (“Alexion”) to acquire intellectual property rights, including patent rights, know-how, and contracts, related to the ALXN1101 molecule. Origin accounted for the transaction as an asset acquisition as substantially all of the estimated fair value of the gross assets acquired was concentrated in a single identified asset, IPR&D, thus satisfying the requirements of the screen test in ASU 2017-01. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction were measured based on their fair values. The fair value of the IPR&D acquired was charged to research and development expense as it had no alternative future use at the time of the acquisition.

Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, Origin could be required to pay up to $18.8 million if a certain condition is met. Such a condition was met in 2021, resulting in a one-time final payment of $15.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2021, which we capitalized as a finite-lived intangible asset and amortize it over its estimated useful life on a straight-line basis. In addition, under the Asset Purchase Agreement, Origin could be required to pay up to $17.0 million in sales-based milestone payments and royalties of up to low double-digit percentages on net sales.

In November 2018, QED and Foundation Medicine, Inc. (“FMI”) entered into a companion diagnostics agreement relating to QED’s drug discovery and development initiatives. Pursuant to the agreement, QED could be required to pay $12.5 million in regulatory approval milestones over a period of four years subsequent to the FDA approval of a companion diagnostic for TRUSELTIQ in patients with cholangiocarcinoma. The FDA approved the companion diagnostic for TRUSELTIQ in May 2021, which resulted in the capitalization of $12.5 million as a finite-lived intangible asset to be amortized over its estimated useful life on a straight-line basis. As of September 30, 2021, the amount due to FMI is presented in our condensed consolidated balance sheets in “Other accrued liabilities” and “Other long-term liabilities” for $1.5 million and $11.0 million, respectively.

The following table summarizes the intangible assets recognized in connection with the above agreements:
