Patent under Licensing

 

The Company licenses patent rights and know-how for certain hemorrhoid treatment pads and related coatings from The Procter & Gamble Company. The five-year license agreement was entered into July 2006 and has a five-year automatic renewal option.  Although the Company renewed the agreement in 2011, payments have been suspended due to the Company’s current financial condition.  The Company has subsequently filed for a patent to address the technology used in its treated miniforms, which was issued during 2013.
