On November 12, 2014, the Company signed an agreement with Poppy's Teas LLC. ("ViPova") to acquire 51% of ViPova with an initial consideration of US$50,000. Lexaria acquired a 51% Ownership Interest in the Business by satisfying the requirements set out in the agreement:
ViPova will reduce to a 25% Ownership Interest in the Business and Lexaria will acquire an additional 24% (total 75%) Ownership Interest in the Business by satisfying the following requirements:
The acquisition of Vipova was treated as an acquisition of assets rather than a business combination because Vipova did not constitute a business. $48,039 acquired In-Process Research and Development has been expensed at the acquisition date in accordance with ASC 730-10-25-1. In June 2015, the Company filed Lexaria simultaneous filing of a U.S. utility patent application and an International patent application under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) procedure, both at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. These applications follow the Company's 2014 and 2015 family of provisional patent application filings in the U.S. and serve two additional broad purposes. The first of these was to expand potential intellectual property protection outside of the USA. Filing under the PCT allows the Company to elect to pursue patent protection in up to 148 nations around the world. The second purpose was to broaden the number of molecules for which intellectual patent protection is sought. Under the original patents pending, only the THC and CBD molecules, infused within a unique lipid-formulation technology, were pursued. Under the new patent applications, the list of molecules for which a unique delivery system were broadened to include THC, CBC, Nicotine, Non Steriodal Anti- Inflammatories, and certain Vitamins. As at August 31, 2015, the Company capitalized of $36,989 for patent application. On August 11, 2015, Lexaria signed a license agreement with PoViva Tea LLC for $10,000, granting Lexaria a 35 -year non exclusive worldwide license to unencumbered use of PoViva Tea LLC's IP Rights, including rights of resale. This license agreement ensures Lexaria has full access to the underlying patent pending infusion technology. The Company fulfilled its financial obligations as at November 30, 2015. |
