Under the agreement, Sunshine Guojian has the right to select up to five antibody molecules emerging from up to three multi-specific antibody programs based on Numab’s R&D platform and has the exclusive licenses to develop and commercialize each of the selected antibody molecules in Greater China territories, including the Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, while Numab retains exclusive commercial rights in the rest of the world.
