Dan, before getting too excited about this, one should realize the Novartis/Simulect royalty is under 1% of net sales. ("The Company" below refers to Seragen. This is a document dealing with the acquisition.)

<<NOVARTIS In March 1996, the Company entered into a license agreement with
Novartis, formerly Sandoz Pharmaceutical, Limited, whereby the Company granted
Novartis a non-exclusive sub-license of certain patents in exchange for a $1.5
million non-refundable payment. Under the terms of the license agreement,
beginning on January 1, 2001 Novartis will be required to pay a 0.75% royalty on
the net sales price of licensed products that are sold under the sub-license
agreement. The agreement is to remain in effect until expiration of the
Company's licensed patents, or earlier upon termination as defined.>>
