Hi gandolph
This was one of a few questions me and my brother (both RAP shareholders) had too. Below our question and the answer from Brian Leedman (Vice President ResApp Health).
This e-mail correspondence is dated 1 October 2015. Hope this helps.
Cheers, Tony
Question:
- The University of Queensland has granted over its commercialization company UniQuest the exclusive licence to ResApp for developing mobile medical applications for the diagnosis and management of respiratory disease. As I understand UniQuest is the largest shareholder (7.51%).
- Can you comment on who exactly owns which IP rights/patents that are crucial for a successful and sustainable commercialization?
- Can you comment on the design of the licensing agreement?
The reason behind my questions is the fear that the licencer is so powerful to be able to excessively determine the future of ResApp. Being the largest shareholder the licencer has of course all the incentives to align its interests with those of the company. Nevertheless, a sustainable and balanced licensing agreement and IP rights/patents arrangement remains crucial for ResApp.
Answer:
UQ own the rights to the IP which is exclusively licensed to ResApp. There is a small loyalty payable to UQ on future sales. The interests between ResApp and UQ are completely aligned. The licensing agreement was legally scrutinised as part of the due diligence of the acquisition transaction.
