Definitions;
  1. ALSTEM: ALSTEM, LLC
  2. iPS-AJ: iPS Academia Japan, Inc.
  3. User: The person or entity who purchased services from ALSTEM or its authorized distributor.
  4. Product: The iPS cells (iPSCs) or kits to generate iPSCs which ALSTEM provides and are claimed in the patents and patents applications mentioned below.
  5. Pluripotent Cells: iPSCs regenerated or derived by User from the Product provided by ALSTEM.
  6. Progeny: derivatives from the Pluripotent Cells created by User which retain the ability to self-replicate, retain ability to differentiate into cell types of all three germ layers and remain in an undifferentiated state whether or not said cells are genetically modified and cloned cell lines so long as the cells retain the ability to self-replicate, retain ability to differentiate into cell types of all three germ layers and remain in an undifferentiated state.
  7. Modification: cells which are created by User or created through the use of the Pluripotent Cells or Progeny, but which (i) do not differentiate into cell types of all three germ layers and (ii) are not in an undifferentiated state.
  8. Materials: Pluripotent Cells, Progeny and Modification.
  9. Commercial Use: any activity by a User consisting of at least one of following activities:
    (i) use of the Pluripotent Cells or Progeny, for the manufacture of related products distributed and/or sold to a third party including but not limited to culture medium and equipment,
    (ii) use of the Pluripotent Cells, Progeny or Modifications to provide a service, information or data to a third party for financial gain, provided, however, that in case a not-for-profit organization provides a service, information or data on behalf of a third party having an appropriate license from AJ, such not-for-profit organization’s activity shall not be considered Commercial Use (ii),
    (iii) use of the Pluripotent Cells, Progeny or Modifications for screening small molecular compounds, antibodies, proteins, peptides, and large-molecular compounds as potentially marketable compounds, provided, however, that (1)use of the Pluripotent Cells, Progeny or Modifications for target discovery, target validation or assay development are not considered Commercial Use (iii), and (2) use of the Pluripotent Cells, Progeny or Modifications for screening by a not-for-profit organization solely for its internal research use for non-commercial purposes shall not be considered as Commercial Use (iii),
    (iv) sale, lease, distribution or transfer of Pluripotent Cells, Progeny or Modification to third party(ies) for financial gain, provided, however, that transfer of Pluripotent Cells, Progeny or Modifications by a not-for-profit organization to other not-for-profit organization solely for its internal research purposes is not Commercial Use (iv), or
    (v) sale, lease, distribution or transfer of Pluripotent Cells or Progeny to for-profit organizations not for financial gain.
    Note: “financial gain” here means any financial benefit, gain, consideration or revenue of a transaction which exceeds its cost of operating the transaction.
