Product Sale and Purchase Commitments
Product Sale and Purchase Commitments	Note 13 - Product Sale and Purchase Commitments The Company has had license agreements for the rights to develop and market certain products or technologies owned by unrelated parties. The confidential terms of such agreements are unique and varied, depending on many factors relating to the value and stage of development of the technology licensed. Royalties on future product sales are a normal component of such agreements and are included in the Company’s cost of goods sold on an ongoing basis. In 2009 and 2010 there were no patents under which UTMD received royalties from other parties. In 2011, UTMD received royalties of $70 for the use of intellectual property of Filshie Clip System as part of Femcare’s exclusive U.S. distribution agreement with Cooper Surgical, Inc.
