Me neither.

It sounds like the agreement allowed ABT to enter into licensing agreements, even without CAT's knowledge, if in good faith they were considered necessary to commercialize H freely, and that such royalties would offset CAT royalties $ for $ , but not below a minimum. You would think this would not be the case if, in the original agreement, CAT agreed to defend H IP which they probably also did. In any event, looks like abt may have skinned the cat.

Experienced leadership got to CAT too late. This makes Chambre's efforts to clean up the world's phage IP look wasted. What a shame if this is the ultimate result for CAT.
