#25277 RE: THE LURKER #25275

Lurker stated: "Are you refering to the amended agreement where Abbott turned over the distribution rights to GE?"

There were two amended agreements with Abbott. The first one was tranferring the license to GE along with Moro getting the rights for unlimited manual tests.

The second one was the important one that ended the minimum royalties and stated that Abbott no longer had any obligation to work on RECAF WHATSOEVER. In the S1, Moro states the following:
"Since this agreement was amended, Abbott has not conducted any research and development regarding RECAF technology or, to our knowledge, taken any other steps toward commercializing our technology."
