Collaboration and Licensing Revenue
Collaboration and Licensing Revenue
The Company generates revenue through contractual agreements with collaborators (known as exclusive channel collaborations, "ECC" or "ECCs") and licensing agreements whereby the collaborators or the licensees obtain exclusive access to the Company's proprietary technologies for use in the research, development and commercialization of products and/or treatments in a contractually specified field of use. Upfront and milestone payments are typically deferred and recognized over the expected life of the Company's technology platform using a straight-line approach. The Company recognizes the reimbursement payments received for research and development services in the period in which the services are performed and collection is reasonably assured. The following tables summarize the amounts recorded as revenue in the consolidated statements of operations for each significant collaboration or licensing agreement for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015.
