Ariad Pharmaceuticals Inc fka ARIA

The question is nonsensical. Beyond the milestone payments, Ariad receives tiered double digit royalties on sales of Ridaforolimus...period, end of discussion. If you have further questions on this matter, I suggest you review the company's filings regarding this matter:

"Merck will book global sales of ridaforolimus and pay ARIAD tiered double-digit royalties on global net sales of ridaforolimus. In addition to now receiving royalties on U.S. sales in lieu of a profit split, these global royalty rates are approximately one-third greater than the royalty rates that ARIAD would have received for ex-U.S. sales under the original collaboration agreement with Merck."
