    Patentees' Guide to ReportingIntroduction

    Introduction

    Background and Authority

    The 1987 amendments to the Patent Actestablished the Patented MedicinePrices Review Board (hereafter referredto as the PMPRB). The PatentedMedicines Regulations, 1994 (hereafterreferred to as the Regulations), asprovided for by the Patent Act, establishthe data reporting requirements to whichthis Guide is addressed.

    This reporting Guide has been preparedunder the authority of the PMPRB, which isresponsible for ensuring compliance withthe Patent Act and the Regulations.

    Purpose, Scope and Limitations ofthe Guide

    This Guide is a reference document tohelp patentees complete Forms 1, 2 and 3. The Guide explains each element ofinformation to be reported, how andwhen the information is to be submitted tothe PMPRB.

    This Guide is intended as a reference tool,not an exhaustive interpretation of thereporting requirements of the Regulations. The instructions and definitions areintended to assist patentees; they have nolegal force and for the formal definitions,reference to the legislation must be

    made. While every attempt has beenmade to explain the three reporting forms,it may be necessary to consult directly withPMPRB staff for further guidanceregarding complex situations orparticular cases. Patentees areencouraged to contact the complianceofficer assigned to their company.

    In the event of a discrepancy between thisGuide and the Regulations, theRegulations shall, in all cases, prevail. Further, the PMPRB has the right to applysuch definitions as it considers necessaryto administer the Patent Act and achieveits purpose and intent in accordance withthe law.

    This Guide will be revised from time to timeto reflect changes in reportingrequirements, and to further clarify currentrequirements.

    Layout of the Guide

    The Guide consists of five sections: thisintroduction, three sections relating tothe reporting forms, and a glossary. Theappendix includes the blank reportingforms and the list of codes to be used tocomplete Form-1 and Form-2.

    Blank reporting forms included in this guidemay be photocopied for reportingpurposes. Additional forms may beobtained from the PMPRB offices.

  • INTRODUCTION PMPRB

    2 Issued 95/05

    Interpretations

    For the purposes of this Guide, pleasenote the following:

    PersonFor reporting purposes the word "person"means an individual, a company orcorporation, or any other legal entitysuch as a partnership, trust, jointventure or other form of businessenterprise.

    Singular/PluralAll references in the singular case shallinclude the plural, and references to theplural shall include the singular.

    Confidentiality of ReportedInformation

    Section 87 of the Patent Act states thatinformation gathered by means of thesereporting forms is privileged, and will not(except when permitted by that section) becommunicated, disclosed or madeavailable to any party not legally entitled tosuch information.

    Alternatives to the Reporting Forms

    While the forms are not legally prescribed,the information therein is, and the PMPRBstrongly urges their use given the benefitthe patentees will receive in the conduct ofa more expeditious review. That beingsaid, however, the PMPRB stronglyencourages electronic reporting usingdiskettes. The PMPRB has availableon diskette Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheettemplates of the reporting forms. These diskettes are available fromthe PMPRB at no charge and providean interactive, menu-driven methodof completing the reporting forms. These templates require an IBM-compatible microcomputer and Lotus

    1-2-3 (Release 2.0). There are norestrictions on copying or distributing thesetemplates. Patentees who wish to reporton diskette using a method other than thePMPRB supplied templates should checkwith PMPRB staff in advance, to ensurethat the submitted data will be acceptable inlayout and hardware/software compatibility.

    If patentees still prefer to report on paper,the PMPRB will consider informationsubmitted in other formats. These couldinclude printouts or other printed reportsgenerated by the patentee. To beconsidered by the PMPRB, these printoutsor other reports should maintain the samegeneral layout as the reporting forms. At aminimum, use the same headings, in thesame order, as the official reporting forms. Each page should contain information forno more than one drug product or reportingperiod. Patentees should consult PMPRBstaff about the layout of alternative-formatreports or printouts prior to submission. Patentees are responsible for ensuringthat these include all the informationrequired under the Regulations.

    Certain reporting formats are notacceptable:

    • Photocopies of price lists that donot have the same general layoutand headings of the official reportare not acceptable for the Block 5publicly available prices.

    • Price lists in languages other thanEnglish or French are notacceptable.

    • Reports that show information formore than one reporting period ona single page are not acceptable.

    Patentees' Guide to ReportingForm-1 - Medicine Identification Sheet

    General Information

    Purpose

    Form-1 is to be used by patentees toreport information on patented drugproducts for which a Notice of Compliance(NOC) has been issued, or which arebeing offered for sale in Canada. ThePMPRB uses the reported information toidentify patentees and patented drugproducts that are subject to the reportingrequirements of the Regulations.

    Definitions of key terms used in theseforms are included in the Glossary.

    Submit a separate Form-1 for eachpatented drug product within thirty days of itbeing issued a NOC or being offered forsale in Canada, whichever comes first. Also use Form-1 to report any changes,additions or deletions to informationpreviously submitted on Form-1.

    Intent to sell in a new market

    The 1993 amendments to the Patent Actrequire patentees to notify the PMPRB, assoon as this is possible, of an intention tosell a patented drug product in a newmarket in Canada, and the date on whichthe patentee intends to offer the drugproduct for sale. The form for providingthe required information can be found inthe Compendium of Guidelines, Policiesand Procedures, Schedule 6, page SCH6:2, as well as at the back of this Guide.

    Who should provide information?

    (a) PatenteeSection 79(1) of the Patent Actprovides the definition of theword "patentee":

    "in respect of an inventionpertaining to a medicine, means theperson for the time being entitled tothe benefit of the patent for thatinvention and includes, where anyother person is entitled to exerciseany rights in relation to that patentother than under a licencecontinued by subsection 11(1) ofthe Patent Act Amendment Act,1992, that other person in respectof those rights."

    In other words the word "patentee" is usedto mean not only the patent holder, but alsoany person acting for the patent holder asa seller or otherwise entitled to the benefitsof the patent (other than by compulsorylicence). Patent rights may includemanufacturing, distributing, marketing andselling the medicine. The interpretation of"patentee" will depend on the situation; itwill generally be the corporate entity thatsells the medicine into the distributionchain.

    (b) Former PatenteeA patentee is referred to as aformer patentee once therelevant patents for a particulardrug product expire. TheRegulations require that a Form-1 be filed, for drug products not

  • FORM-1 PMPRB

    6 Issued 95/05

    previously filed, and only for theperiods under which the drugproducts were patented. TheBoard can request thisinformation within three years ofthe patent's expiry, if it hasreason to do so.

    The patentee completing Form-1 is the"reporting patentee" or "former patentee".

    Which drug products should bereported?

    Once a patentee is issued a NOC for adrug product that has one or morerelated patents in force, the patenteehas 30 days to submit a Form-1. Thepatent(s) may be for (among otherthings) formulation of the medicine,processes involved in making the drugproduct, dosage forms, preparation ofdosage forms, or delivery systems of thedrug product. The patent(s) may or maynot be used in producing the drug product.

    Patented drug products considered byHealth Canada to be "investigationaldrugs" (including drug products providedunder the "Emergency Drug Release"program), that are being offered for salecommercially or otherwise, and for whichno NOC has been issued, should alsobe reported on a Form-1 within thirtydays of first being offered for sale.

    Changes/Additions/Deletions

    Use another Form-1 to forward to thePMPRB any changes, additions anddeletions to information previously

    submitted for a drug product on Form-1. Indicate in the check box at the top of theform that the submission amends anearlier submission. It is not necessary toresubmit all the information submitted onthe original Form-1. Block-1, Block-3 and Block-6 should always becompleted, as well as amended informationin the remaining blocks.

    Forward any change to the identity (i.e.,name and/or address) of the reportingpatentee or former patentee to thePMPRB in writing.

    Direct any questions about changes,additions and deletions that cannot beresolved by these guidelines to theofficer assigned to your company.

    Due Dates

    Form-1 should be submitted to the PMPRBnot later than:

    i. 30 days after the Notice ofCompliance is issued or

    30 days after a patented drugproduct has been offered for salein Canada, whichever comesfirst; or

    ii. 30 days after any changes,additions or deletions are madeto the information originallysubmitted to the PMPRB on aForm-1.

    Patentees' Guide to ReportingForm-3 - Licensees, Revenues and Expenditures

    General Information

    Purpose

    Under section 88 of the Patent Act, apatentee of an invention pertaining to amedicine is required to provide to thePatented Medicine Prices Review Board(hereafter referred to as the Board)information on scientific research andexperimental development (SR&ED). Form-3 is a two-page reporting formdesigned to collect from the patenteeinformation on the names and addressesof licensees; sales revenues; andexpenditures for SR&ED pertainingto medicines.

    Who must report

    All patentees of medicines sold inCanada must report revenues andSR&ED expenditures on Form-3. If youare no longer a patentee but were duringall or part of the year Form-3 covers, youare required to report. Under section79(1) of the Patent Act the word"patentee" is used to mean not only thepatent holder, but also any person actingfor the patent holder as a seller, orotherwise exercising the rights of thepatent holder (other than by compulsorylicense). Patent rights may includemanufacturing, distributing, marketingand selling the medicine. Theinterpretation of "patentee" will dependon the situation; it will generally be themanufacturer who sells the medicine

    into the distribution chain. The patenteecompleting this form is the "reportingpatentee".

    Foreign persons holding Canadianpatents

    Foreign residency does not remove theresponsibility to report on Form-3. Foreign persons should report theirrevenues from sales in Canada andexpenditures on SR&ED in Canada. These foreign persons should reporttheir SR&ED expenditures as if theywere Canadian taxpayers. Foreignpersons who hold a Canadian patent fora medicine but who had no Canadianrevenues or SR&ED expendituresshould still report.

    Can non-patentees report?

    Yes. The Board has a mandate toreport on market trends and researchand development activities for thepharmaceutical industry as a whole. Canadian individuals or corporationswho manufacture, distribute or sellmedicines in Canada are encouraged toreport. Of particular interest arecompulsory licensees and otherpharmaceutical companies who areactive in the Canadian marketplace.

    Non-patentees should follow the sameguidelines as patentees when reporting. The term "patentee" refers to thereporting party (i.e., the company orindividual completing the form).

    Subsidiaries vs Head Office

    Where a foreign parent company carrieson SR&ED in Canada but a subsidiaryresident in Canada is the seller anddistributor, the subsidiary should reportthe SR&ED on its Form-3, attaching anote with details of its particularsituation. The parent should send aletter to the Board, stating that thesubsidiary has claimed the SR&EDexpenditures. This situation canbecome more complex when a numberof subsidiaries sell and distribute theproduct in Canada and one parentcarries on the SR&ED. Board staff willreview each situation to determine themost appropriate reporting method.

    Reporting Periods and Due Dates

    Reporting periods: The information onForm-3 should be reported by calendaryear.

    Due dates: All patentees must submit,to the offices of the Board, a completedForm-3 no more than sixty days after thecalendar year ends. Generally, this duedate will be March 1.

    BLOCK-1 Year to whichInformation Applies

    Information for Form-3 should bereported for the calendar year. Only acalendar year should be indicated in the"reporting period" block on Form-3.

    BLOCK-2 Identification ofPatentee

    Name and Address of Patentee

    This should be the name and address ofthe reporting patentee forcorrespondence in Canada.

    BLOCK-3 Licensees

    Patentees should provide names andaddresses of all licensees who, bymeans of a license or other formalarrangement, sell or distribute medicinesfor which the patentee holds a patent. The names and addresses of voluntaryand compulsory licensees should bereported. If necessary, place this list ona separate sheet and attach it to thecompleted Form-3.

    BLOCK-4 Revenues

    Total Revenues from all Sales ofMedicines in Canada by Patentee

    Which revenues should be included? Ingeneral, report revenues from sales ofmedicines5 that have a DrugIdentification Number (DIN) or GeneralProduct (GP) number. This includesmedicines not under patent and "overthe counter" products. There may besome uncertainty as to whetherrevenues from certain proprietaryproducts should be included. Ifuncertain, patentees should contactBoard staff for advice. Other revenues,such as those from investment or realestate, should not be included onForm-3.

    General Note on Research andDevelopment - (Blocks 5-10)

    Criteria of Eligibility

    R&D expenditures reported on Form-3must meet the criteria for claiming aninvestment tax credit with respect toScientific Research and ExperimentalDevelopment as set out in sections 37(1)and 127(9) of the Income Tax Act andsection 2902 of the Income TaxRegulations as they read onDecember 1, 1987. The term "Researchand Development" (R&D) as it appears

    on the reporting forms should beinterpreted as meaning ScientificResearch and Experimental Development(SR&ED).

    It does not matter if the patentee actuallyfiles an income tax return for thereporting year in question, or if any ofthe research and development taxcredits are actually claimed. Individualsand corporations who are not Canadiantaxpayers should complete Form-3 as ifthey were Canadian taxpayers.

    Definition - Scientific Research andExperimental Development

    Scientific Research and ExperimentalDevelopment may be defined as a"systematic investigation or searchcarried out in the field of science ortechnology by means of experiment oranalysis". There are three maincategories:

    Basic researchWork undertaken to advance scientificknowledge without a specific applicationin view;

    Applied researchWork undertaken to advance knowledgewith a specific practical application inview;

    DevelopmentUse of results of basic or appliedresearch to create new materials,

    devices, products or processes, orimprove existing ones.

    Activities such as engineering or design,operations research, mathematicalanalysis or computer programming andpsychological research are eligible onlyif such activities directly support basic orapplied research, or eligibledevelopment activities. Examples ofactivities that cannot be included asSR&ED include:

    - market research or salespromotion

    - quality control or routine testingof materials, devices or products

    - research in the social sciencesor humanities

    - prospecting, exploring or drilling- commercial production of a new

    or improved material, device orproduct, or the commercial useof a new or improved process

    - style changes- routine data collection

    Expenditures - Scientific Researchand Experimental Development

    Note that only expenditures relatingto SR&ED in Canada are allowed; toqualify as SR&ED expenditures onForm-3, the expenditures shouldconform to criteria for claiming the

    investment tax credit for scientificresearch and experimental developmentas set out in sections 37(1) and 127(9)of the Income Tax Act and section 2902of the Income Tax Regulations as theyread on December 1, 1987.

    Amounts that would normally qualify fora deduction (but not an investment taxcredit) under section 37(2) as it read onDecember 1, 1987 (Research outsideCanada) should not be included onForm-3. Foreign travel expenditures,including the salaries and benefits of aCanadian employee undertaking foreigntravel, and any other expenditures thatrelate to SR&ED carried on outsideCanada are all deemed to be "Researchoutside Canada". Therefore theseshould not be included with SR&EDexpenditures on Form-3. This is thecase even if the expenditures weremade in Canada, for example to aCanadian sub-contractor. Patenteeswho are uncertain as to whether toinclude certain expenditures as SR&EDexpenditures on Form-3 should callBoard staff for advice.

    BLOCK-5 Non-CapitalExpenditures of the Patentee

    Non-capital expenditures do not includegeneral administrative expenses orfactory overhead expenses that wouldhave been incurred even if SR&ED hadnot been carried out. Expenses mustall, or substantially all, be linked toSR&ED. All, or substantially all, meansat least 90% of the time. For example, if a reporting party rents a photocopymachine that will be used approximately50% of the time for SR&ED, no portionof the rental payments is considered tobe an expenditure that is directlyattributable to SR&ED. Certain othertypes of expenditures cannot beincluded as non-capital expenditures inBlock-5 under any circumstances, even

    if they are in support of a qualifiedSR&ED activity. The following cannotbe included as non-capitalexpenditures:

    - capital expenditures ordepreciation expenses (seeBlock-6)

    - entertainment expenses- advertising or selling expenses- convention expenses- legal or accounting expenses- membership dues or fees- fines or penalties- expenditures made to acquire

    rights in, or arising out of,research and development (e.g.,patent or registration fees)

    Break out allowable non-capitalexpenditures into the followingcategories:

    A. Wages and salaries

    Only wages and salaries (andother related costs such asbenefits) paid to employees who:

    - are actually doingresearch work

    - are directly supervisingresearch work, or

    - are directly supportingresearch work.

    These expenditures must:

    - include employeebenefits

    - exclude bonuses or otherremuneration based onthe profits of thecompany.

    B. Direct material

    All costs should be the net laid-down price after deducting tradediscounts, etc.

    D. Other direct costs

    Includes only the incrementalgeneral administrative and/orfactory overhead costs incurredsolely as a result of carrying onSR&ED activities. Provide abreakdown of these costs on aseparate sheet.

    E. Payments to designatedinstitutions

    Under this category, reportpayment to an approveduniversity or other similarinstitution, to be used by thatinstitution for SR&ED related tothe reporting party's class ofbusiness. Amounts paid to carryout SR&ED on the reportingparty's behalf should not beincluded here, but under "C"(Contractors…) above.

    Approved institutions include:

    - universities- colleges- research institutes- other similar institutions

    F. Payments to granting councils

    A granting council is an approvedorganization that pays anassociation, institution orcorporation to do SR&ED related

    to the reporting party's class ofbusiness. Approved grantingcouncils include:

    - Natural Sciences andEngineering ResearchCouncil

    - Medical ResearchCouncil

    - Social Sciences andHumanities ResearchCouncil

    G. Payments to otherorganizations

    Payments to other organizationsfor SR&ED related to thereporting party's class ofbusiness and not included under"E" (designated institutions) or"F" (granting councils) above. Provide a list of the organizationsto which payments were made.

    BLOCK-6 Total CapitalExpenditures

    Buildings - Annual Depreciation

    Patentees should report annualdepreciation of buildings used forSR&ED in Canada. The annualdepreciation should be calculated at therate of 4% of the qualifying capital costper year over a maximum of twenty-fiveyears. Depreciation is applied beginningwith the year in which the building waspurchased or acquired. Patenteesshould attach details of the calculation ofannual depreciation.

    If a building was built or purchased partlyfor SR&ED and partly for otherpurposes, and a specific area within thebuilding is allocated solely for SR&ED, areasonable portion of the building'soriginal cost can be used to calculateannual depreciation. Calculate the

As 25% (250 of 1000) of the total floor-space is devoted to SR&ED. Calculate annual depreciationbased on $100,000 (25% of $400,000). Annual depreciation would be 4% of $100,000 = $4,000.

    applicable portion of the building's cost byapplying the proportion of SR&ED

    floor-space to total floor-space to the totaloriginal cost of the building.

    If a building was originally used forpurposes other than SR&ED, but isconverted for SR&ED use, the cost ofthe conversion should be depreciated asabove. However, do not include anypart of the building's original cost in thereported annual depreciation.

    To calculate the total annualdepreciation of all buildings (and eligibleconversion costs) dedicated to SR&ED,the annual depreciation of each shouldbe calculated separately, and thentotalled.

    Total Capital Expenditures in the Year(buildings)

    This line refers to capital expendituresmade on buildings. Report total capitalexpenditures made during the reportingyear on buildings in Canada to be usedfor SR&ED. Do not include capitalexpenditures made on land.

    If a building was built or purchased to beused partly for SR&ED and partly forother purposes, and a specific areawithin the building is allocated solely forSR&ED, a reasonable portion of thebuilding's total cost can qualify as acapital expenditure on SR&ED. If part orall of an existing building is converted forSR&ED, the conversion costs mayqualify as a capital expenditure onSR&ED. However, no part of thebuilding's original cost or of its un-depreciated capital cost is eligible.

    Equipment (capital expenditures)

    Capital expenditures on equipment mustbe made in Canada. When an asset ispurchased from a supplier outsideCanada and is imported and used forSR&ED in Canada, the expenditure isconsidered to be made in Canada. Normal accrual accounting principles willapply to capital expenditures forSR&ED.

    Expenditures on equipment partly usedfor SR&ED and partly used for otherpurposes may not be included unless itcan be demonstrated that all, orsubstantially all of the equipment's useis for SR&ED, where "all, or substantiallyall" means at least 90% of the timeduring the useful life of the equipment.

    BLOCK-7 Type of Researchand Development - Medicinefor Human Use

    List expenditures (non-capital only) onSR&ED in Canada for medicines forhuman use according to "type ofresearch" and "who carried out theresearch".

    PatenteeFor Form-3, patentee refers to thereporting party completing this form. If you are no longer a patentee but wereduring part or all of the year Form-3covers, you are required to report. Because all pharmaceutical companiesand drug manufacturers are encouragedto complete Form-3, some reportingparties will not hold a patent on amedicine. Therefore, the reporting partyis not necessarily a true patentee asdefined for Form-1 and Form-2.

    Other companiesIncludes corporations, resident inCanada, undertaking research on behalfof the reporting party, or research in thesame class of business as the reportingparty. Corporations carrying out theresearch do not have to be at arm'slength from the reporting party.

    UniversitiesIncludes universities, colleges and otherapproved under Income Tax Actinstitutions such as research institutes.

    HospitalsA facility licensed, approved ordesignated as such by a federal,provincial or territorial government.

    Note: Hospital vs University

    There may be some uncertainty as towhether to classify by hospital oruniversity for research carried out in ateaching hospital or when scientistsdoing the work are affiliated with both ahospital and a university. Theseconsiderations may be useful: If it canbe ascertained where the monies for theresearch are being handled/managed(i.e., through the university or throughthe hospital) then these amounts shouldbe assigned to reflect this. Whenpayment is made directly to a scientist or

    other researcher with dual affiliations,the amounts should be included underthe category that best describes thesetting where the research took place.

    OthersThis category is reserved forexpenditures that do not logically fit intoany of the other categories. Patenteesshould attach details on expenditures.

    BLOCK-8 Type of Researchand Development - Medicinefor Veterinary Use

    Expenditures (non-capital only) onSR&ED in Canada, pertaining tomedicines for veterinary use, should belisted according to "type of research"and "who carried out the research". Thedefinitions in Block-7 above may helpyou interpret the categories of "type ofresearch" and "who carried out theresearch".

    BLOCK-9 Source of Fundsfor R&D

    Detail sources of funds for non-capitalexpenditures and capital equipmentexpenditures according to the categoriesdescribed below. The source of fundstotal reported in this block shouldcorrespond to the total of non-capitalexpenditures and capital equipmentexpenditures (Block-5 and Block-6(Equipment)).

    Internal Funds

    Refers to the internal corporate funds ofthe patentee. It does not include moniesfrom parent or subsidiary companies ifthese companies are distinct corporateentities in their own right. Monies fromparent or subsidiary companies shouldbe included under "not arm's length".

    Arm's Length PersonAn "arm's length person" is an individual,corporation or other legal entity that isnot related to the patentee. If in doubt,refer to the Income Tax Act for adefinition of "arm's length". Examples of"not arm's length" relationships are givenin the following section.

    Not Arm's Length PersonA "not arm's length person" is anindividual, corporation or other legalentity that is related to the patentee. There are many types of "not arm'slength" relationships. It is beyond thescope of this document to list them all. However, some examples of "not arm'slength" relationships of corporationsfollow.

    Corporations are related (i.e., not atarm's length) to each other if:

    - one is controlled by the other- one corporation is a member of a

    related group that controls theother

    - they are controlled by the sameperson or persons ("person" canmean an individual or acorporation)

    The above list is a small sample only. Patentees should consult the IncomeTax Act if there is doubt as to whether arelationship is, or is not, at arm's length.

    Federal Government

    This category includes all moniesreceived during the year fromdepartments and agencies of the federalgovernment of Canada. These moniesinclude, among other things, allassistance paid during the year to apatentee under the terms of anAppropriation Act for SR&EDexpenditures. Such assistanceincludes, among other things, any grant,subsidy, reimbursement or forgivableloan (including a contingently repayable

    loan) received by the patentee. Theamount reported should be the net ofamounts repaid to the federalgovernment during the year.

    Provincial Government

    BLOCK-10 Information forR&D in Each Province

    Provide a provincial distribution ofSR&ED expenditures (non-capital only),by each of the "who carried out theresearch" categories. Definitions of the"who carried out the research"categories are in the definitions forBlock-7. The total expenditures reportedin Block-10 should correspond to totalnon-capital expenditures (Block-5).

    BLOCK-11 CertifyingSignature

Expendituresshould be reported in the year in whichthey were incurred, whether or not theywere paid in that period. With theexception of "Revenues from licensees"on Form-3, all revenues andexpenditures must be reported usingnormal accrual accounting methods.

    Active Ingredient: Chemicalresponsible for the claimedpharmacologic effect of a drug product.

    Arm's length person: An "arm's lengthperson" is an individual, corporation orother legal entity (see also: definition of"Person") that is not related to thereporting patentee. If in doubt,patentees should refer to the IncomeTax Act for a definition of "arm's length". Generally, "arm's length" persons(individuals or corporations) are personsthat have no corporate or other directconnections with each other, and thusact each in their own self-interest. Examples of "not arm's length"relationships are given in the definitionof "not arm's length" on page 28.

    Persons normally operating at "arm'slength" may have a "not arm's length"relationship for a particular contract.

    However, if outside this contract there isnot special duty, obligation orrelationship to each other, then the twopersons may be considered to be at"arm's length".

    Assignee: An assignee is a person(individual or corporation or other legalentity) that enjoys some or all of apatentee's rights with respect to apatented medicine. Such rights mayinclude manufacturing, distributing orselling a patented medicine. Theassigned rights may have time and geographic limitations. The assignedrights are generally the outcome of acontractual agreement between thepatentee and the assignee. Compulsorylicensees are not considered to beassignees.

    Average price per package: Averageprice per package is defined as netrevenues divided by the total number ofpackages sold (or distributed as part ofpromotion, rebate, etc.) when netrevenues consist of actual salesrevenues (excluding sales tax) less anyamounts disbursed for benefits orpromotions such as rebates, refunds, orgifts.

    Cash Accounting: Under the cashaccounting method revenues arereported in the year in which they areactually received. Only "Revenues fromLicensees" on Form-3 may be reportedusing the cash method; all otherrevenues and all expenditures must bereported using normal accrual accountingmethods.

    Clinical Trial Stages:Generally, preclinical trials involveanimal testing while clinical trials involve

    Clinical Trials Phase I: - Tolerance in healthy volunteers- Pharmacokinetics in humans

    Clinical Trials Phase II:- First controlled trials on safety

    and efficacy in patients- Chronic toxicity

    Clinical Trials Phase III:- Therapeutic large-scale trial at

    several trial centres for finalestablishment of therapeutic andsafety profiles
