This would be the case even if Company B is contractually required to use Company A to manufacture the product for the defined period.

If a contract can be terminated early for no compensation, enforceable rights and obligations would likely not exist for the entire stated term. The contract may, in substance, be a shorter-term contract with a right to renew. In contrast, a contract that can be terminated early, but requires payment of a substantive termination penalty, is likely to have pharmacy accounting a contract term equal to the stated term. This is because enforceable rights and obligations exist throughout the stated contract period. Pharma can cancel the contract for convenience at any time, but must return its rights to the licensed IP to Biotech upon cancellation. Pharma does not receive any refund of amounts previously paid upon cancellation.

Company A should also evaluate if the R&D services are optional; that is, could the customer decide to cancel at any time with no penalty or hire another vendor or biotech to perform the services. Optional services may indicate that the only enforceable rights and obligations relate to the license of IP.

For more strategy-focused, managerial roles, you may even factor how to navigate global crises, economic uncertainties, and frequent changes to laws and regulations.
