(“Ocean”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Ocean Biomedical, Inc. (“OBM”) and a corporation having a principal place of business at 19W060 Avenue LaTours OakBrook IL 60523 is effective on the March 3, 2021 (“Effective Date”), and supersedes and replaces that certain Non-Exclusive License Agreement for Covid-19 Related Technology, dated June 25, 2020, by and between Stanford and OBM (“Original Agreement”).

BACKGROUND

Stanford has an assignment of inventions for therapeutic applications related to COVID-19. One is entitled “ANG 1-7 as a therapeutic for coronavirus” and the other one is entitled “Ulinastatin as a Therapeutic for Corona Virus”. Both were invented in the laboratory of Dr. Kevin Grimes and described in Stanford Docket ([####]) and ([####]) respectively. The invention was made in the course of research supported by Stanford. Stanford is committed to facilitating broad and rapid access to technologies that have been developed by Stanford to address the COVID-19 pandemic. Stanford also wants to ensure the affordability of any COVID-19 products going to uninsured patient populations and those in developing countries.

3.4

Specific Exclusion. Stanford does not:

 

    (A)

grant to Ocean any other licenses, implied or otherwise, to any patents or other rights of Stanford other than those rights granted under Licensed Patent, regardless of whether the patents or other rights are dominant or subordinate to any Licensed Patent, or are required to exploit any Licensed Patent;
