Report description
The Partnering Agreements in Diagnostics report provides comprehensive
understanding and unprecedented access to the diagnostic partnering agreements
entered into by the worlds leading healthcare companies. The report provides a
detailed understanding and analysis of how and why companies enter diagnostic
partnering deals. The majority of deals are development stage whereby the
licensee obtains a right or an option right to license the licensors
diagnostic technology or product candidates. These deals tend to be
multicomponent, starting with collaborative R&D, and commercialization of
outcomes.
Understanding the flexibility of a prospective partner' s negotiated deals
terms provides critical insight into the negotiation process in terms of what
you can expect to achieve during the negotiation of terms. Whilst many smaller
companies will be seeking details of the payments clauses, the devil is in the
detail in terms of how payments are triggered - contract documents provide
this insight where press releases and databases do not.

contract documents as submitted to the Securities Exchange Commission by
