| Licensing Agreement and Royalty Payable | Note 5 – Licensing Agreement and Royalty Payable
The licensing agreement between TapouT LLC and the Company was terminated in Q1 2024. The parties are engaged in active and constructive settlement discussions pursuant to the terms of the agreement’s termination provisions. Based on the settlement discussions, the Company anticipates that any final settlement will not exceed the amounts already recorded in its legal reserve and accrued accounts payable. The Company has reserved $330,000 that is included in legal reserve in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss relating to the termination of the licensing agreement.
In connection with the Copa Asset Purchase Agreement, we acquired the license to certain patents from 1/4 Vin SARL (“1/4 Vin”). On February 16, 2018, the Copa DI Vino® entered into three separate license agreements with 1/4 Vin SARL, (1/4 Vin). 1/4 Vin has the right to license certain patents and patent applications relating to inventions, systems, and methods used in the Company’s manufacturing process. In exchange for notes payable, 1/4 Vin granted the Company a nonexclusive, royalty-bearing, non-assignable, nontransferable, terminable license which would continue until the subject equipment is no longer in service or the patents expire. On April 4, 2025, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with CdV (the “Settlement Agreement”) under which the parties agreed to the settlement of two lawsuits brought by CdV against the Company in Oregon and Florida, and the Company agreed to pay CdV a total of $0.7 million with interest accruing at 12% per annum, with installment payments beginning on November 4, 2025 in monthly payments of $63,000 plus applicable accrued interest. The Settlement Agreement provides for certain events of default, the occurrence of which, subject to the Company’s right to cure within 15 days as to a payment default or 30 days with respect to other defaults, would entitle CdV to accelerate payment of the settlement amount, file suit against the Company and/or exercise its right to setoff against any funds or other property in CdV’s possession.
