In December 2003, we acquired the exclusive worldwide rights to US Patent # 6129911, for Liver Stem Cells from Rhode Island Hospital. We agreed to pay an annual license fee of $20,000 for the first three years of the agreement and $10,000 per annum thereafter until a product is developed. Once a product is developed, if ever, the annual license fee will end and we will pay Rhode Island Hospital a 5% royalty on net sales of any product we sell covered by the patent until we pay an aggregate of $550,000 in royalties and a 2% royalty thereafter until the expiration of the patent.
