Add your response to Amgen Gains Worldwide Rights to Biovitrum's Lead Candidate For Type 2 Diabetes: Response from: James Hatton (02/16/06 1:26pm) So when they expanded the collaboration, I wonder what the "rest of the world" was worth? When they signed the 2003 license (the winner of the "Best of Biotech 2004" award for "Most Creative and Significant Deal"), the September 8, 2003 press release disclosed that the license fee was $87 million.
