B.        Subsequent to the execution of such Agreement on or about November 6, 2014, it was discovered that ODURF had filed an additional United States Provisional Patent Application, No. 61930766 filed on or about January 23, 2014, based on the works of Dr. Christian Zemlin related to cardiac ablation (the “Cardiac Ablation Patent”)and ODURF had received on or about June 26, 2013 an invention disclosure based upon the work of Yeong-Jer Chen, Dr. Barbara Hargrave and Dr. Richard Heller related to a device for utilizing pulse power to activate platelets to produce platelet gel (the “Platelet Gel Cuvettes Disclosure”) for which no provisional patent application had been initiated.
