In 2007, Ablynx was notified by reMYND that a difference of interpretation existed in respect of Ablynx's contractual obligation to reMYND under the 2003 agreement. Under this agreement, Ablynx had the obligation to pay reMYND 50% of any income received if certain Nanobodies from the above collaboration were licensed to a third party for development and commercialization.

Ablynx has a collaboration with Boehringer Ingelheim in the area of Alzheimer’s disease with a potential deal value of $265 million plus royalties, under which, at this time, it believes, in contrast to reMYND, that no license to develop or commercialize any of the aforementioned Nanobodies has been granted.
