Just parking some stuff, as a new patent has issued. I feel that it's unlikely that anything HIV-related is alive, but I have been intrigued by the wording......

Merck (Viral Diseases)

Effective December 1993, we established a five-year research collaboration with Merck to discover and develop compounds for the prevention or treatment of specified viruses. The research collaboration ended in March 1999. Under our agreement with Merck, Merck has exclusive, worldwide manufacturing and marketing rights to develop and commercialize products resulting from the human immunodeficiency virus, (or HIV) research program under the Agreement, subject to obligations to pay to us benchmark payments based on clinical progress and royalties on sales of HIV products. Merck has waived its option to assume responsibility for the development of our anti-cytomegalovirus drug candidate resulting from this Agreement. Merck had paid us $18.4 million in research payments under this agreement through March 1999.
