Millennium Pharma: Got $160M Total Under Aventis Pact

Tuesday April 22, 6:02 pm ET

WASHINGTON (Dow Jones)--Millennium Pharmaceuticals Inc. said Tuesday that it received notification that Aventis Pharmaceuticals Inc. intends to end the companies' technology transfer agreement.

Aventis made a final $40 million payment for the use of technology that has already been transferred from Millennium, according to a document that Millennium filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (News - Websites).


Millennium said the end of the agreement doesn't affect the five-year collaboration and license contract that the companies established in 2000 to develop and commercialize drugs for treating inflammatory diseases.

Since entering into the technology transfer pact in 2000, Aventis has paid Millennium $160 million, including the final payment Tuesday, the filing said.

The termination of the pact takes effect July 21, the third anniversary of the agreement, which had a term of three to five years, the filing said.
