Contract

Astex Therapeutics Ltd v Astrazeneca AB [2017] EWHC 1442 (Ch), [2017] All ER (D) 118 (Jun)

Among other things, it held that neither of the compounds created were ‘collaboration compounds’ within the meaning of the contract, so that the claimant company was not able to claim royalties on them.
