Executive Summary
IGEN SEEKS TERMINATION OF BOEHRINGER ECL LICENSING AGREEMENT in a complaint filed Sept. 15 with the Circuit Court for Montgomery County, Maryland. Igen alleges that Boehringer Mannheim has failed to meet its royalty obligations and violated other terms of a 1992 license and technology development pact. The agreement gave Boehringer exclusive rights to immunoassay applications of Igen's Origen electrochemiluminescence technology and semi-exclusive rights to ECL for use in nucleic acid-probe products.
