BioMimetic pays up for patents
Franklin-based BioMimetic Therapeutics last week inked a deal to pay $1.5 million to global pharma giant Bristol-Myers Squibb that gives it a royalty-free irrevocable license for the rhPDGF growth tissue developed by ZymoGenetics. Bristol-Myers bought ZymoGenetics last fall for $885 million. Shares of BioMimetic (Ticker: BMTI) have had a rough 2011 — they're down more than 60 percent — but are up slightly this morning.
