Deposit Liabilities Disclosures [Text Block]	Note 3. Customer Deposit On March 24, 2011, we entered into a contract in which Central Garden & Pet Company (“Central”) was granted the exclusive worldwide right and license to sell, market, offer for sale, distribute import, export, and otherwise exploit products that contain the BioLargo technologies in the “pet supplies industry” (which is defined in the agreement, and does not include products for equine or livestock). The agreement provided that we are the exclusive provider of the product containing the BioLargo technologies, other than in certain limited conditions. The rights granted to Central are exclusive so long as Central meets “minimum purchase requirements” of product from the Company, as set forth in the agreement. The agreement terminates only upon uncured breach of material warranty or obligation. Pursuant to the Central contract, we received $100,000 deposit which will be credited against future orders. The Company has agreed to sell product to Central at a price equal to the manufacturing cost plus a “manufacturer’s margin”, in an amount to be agreed upon by the parties for each particular product. Central agreed to include a BioLargo trademark on the packaging of any products containing the BioLargo technologies. Central shall have a right of first refusal to purchase Odor-No-More, Inc., or the Odor-No-More brand and/or intellectual property. The Company shall give notice of receipt of any offer to purchase, and Central may elect to match the terms of the offer. Central also has the right of first offer to acquire the right to commercialize new products based on BioLargo technologies in the “pet supplies industry”, following notice from the Company and a 90 day due diligence period. If Central declines to commercialize any such new product, the Company is free to commercialize such products under its own brand, but not under a third party’s brand. The agreement also contains standard provisions typical of a license and supply agreement. Through the date of the filing of this Annual Report, no product orders were received under the Central contract.
