This plasmid ("Original Material") expresses one or more fluorescent proteins (FPs) owned by, or licensed to, Takara Bio USA, Inc., ("TBUSA"). The FPs are the subject of one or more issued and pending patents including U.S. Patent Nos.; 7,157,565; 7,250,298; 7,432,053; 7,667,016; 7,671,185; 7,879,988; 7,897,726; 7,910,714; 8,664,471; 8,679,749; and corresponding foreign patent claims.

The purchaser of the Original Material (Recipient) is granted a non-exclusive, limited right to use the Original Material only for internal, academic research purposes. Such license specifically
excludes (i) the right to sell or otherwise transfer this product, its components or derivatives thereof to third parties; (ii) use of Original Material or FPs for any diagnostic or therapeutic purpose;
(iii) use in high-throughput screening, including but not limited to image-based, high-content analysis, of greater than approximately one thousand (1,000) discrete chemical compounds, antibodies or biologics per target per day; (iv) transfer of nucleic acids expressing FPs and/or FP polypeptides into somatic or germline cells for the performance of gene transfer or gene therapy; (v) use in quality control and quality assurance processes including food and environmental testing; (vi) any use other than use in non-human animals or in in vitro experiments. No right or license to perform commercial services of any kind using the FPs, including without limitation reporting the results of Recipient's activities for a fee or other commercial consideration, is hereby conveyed by the purchase of this product expressly, or by implication.
