Technology partnerships

The Company has also several licensing agreements and, in some cases, research collaborations with a number of external partners including Bayer Pharma, Daiichi Sankyo, Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma and Xoma. The structure and terms of these agreements and partnerships vary, but they all have in common that BioInvent receives license fees, research financing, milestone payments and royalties on the sale of commercial products. Of these external drug development programmes, one project is currently in Phase II, three in Phase I and one is in the preclinical phase.
