NOTE 4 – LICENSED TECHNOLOGY

 

On May 15, 2015, the Company acquired Abeona Therapeutics LLC, which had an exclusive license through Nationwide Children’s Hospital to the AB-101 and AB-102 patent portfolios for developing treatments for patients with Sanfilippo Syndrome Type A and Type B. The license is amortized over the life of the license of 20 years. On March 31, 2022, the Company announced that it was pursuing a strategic partner to take over development activities of ABO-102 and that it was discontinuing development of ABO-101. As a result, the Company determined the remaining value of the licensed technology had no future value and thus recorded an impairment charge of $1.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2022.
