In December 2014, the Company entered into a patent license agreement with George Washington University (“GW”), which was amended and restated on March 1, 2016 (the “GW License”) and subsequently assigned to La Jolla Pharma, LLC. Pursuant to the GW License, GW exclusively licensed to the Company certain intellectual property rights relating to GIAPREZA, including the exclusive rights to certain issued patents and patent applications covering GIAPREZA. Under the GW License, the Company is obligated to use commercially reasonable efforts to develop, commercialize, market and sell GIAPREZA. The Company has paid a one-time license initiation fee, annual maintenance fees, an amendment fee, additional payments following the achievement of certain development and regulatory milestones and royalties. As a result of the EC’s approval of GIAPREZA in August 2019, the Company made a milestone payment to GW in the amount of $0.5 million in the first quarter of 2020. The Company is obligated to pay a 6% royalty on net sales of GIAPREZA. The patents and patent applications covered by the GW License are expected to expire between 2029 and 2034, and the obligation to pay royalties under this agreement extends through the last-to-expire patent covering GIAPREZA.
