Immunovative, Inc. ("IMUN") Files Lawsuit Against Immunovative Therapies, Ltd. ("ITL") in U.S. District Court for Southern District New York; Seeks Repayment of Approximately $3.7 Million or Establishment of Constructive Trust Over Technology and Damages;
(firmenpresse) - NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 01/17/13 -- Immunovative, Inc. ("IMUN" or the "Company") (OTCQB: IMUN) announced today that the Company has filed a lawsuit against Immunovative Therapies, Ltd. ("ITL") in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The lawsuit alleges that ITL wrongfully terminated the License Agreement between ITL and the Company. The suit seeks the imposition of an equitable lien on with respect to the patents, intellectual property ("IP"), and scientific work funded by the Company. In the alternative, the suit seeks return of approximately $3.7 million paid by the Company to ITL to fund its scientific work, compensatory damages, and an equity interest in ITL as provided by the License Agreement.
Seth Shaw, the CEO of the Company, said, "We regret that we have to resort to litigation to enforce our rights under the plain terms of the license agreement. ITL unfortunately has repudiated its obligations under the License Agreement. We cannot allow ITL to take the Company's money and provide nothing in return, for the millions of dollars it received pursuant to the License Agreement. We intend to preserve as much value as possible for our shareholders from this venture, but we no longer intend to be bound by the exclusivity restrictions of the License Agreement that ITL repudiated. Management will work extremely hard to both restore and create shareholder value moving forward."
On December 12th, 2011, Immunovative, Inc. ("IMUN") signed an exclusive License Agreement (the "License Agreement") with Immunovative Therapies, Ltd. ("ITL").

On January 8, 2013, IMUN received a notice from ITL purporting to terminate the License Agreement. Please visit IMUN's website at .
