Oculus Innovative Sciences Announces Licensing Agreement


Oculus Innovative Sciences, Inc. recently announced the exclusive licensing of the company’s Microcyn-based human healthcare products in Mexico, South/Central America, and the Caribbean to More Pharma Corporation.

“Since our founding in 2007, More Pharma has established a track record of strong growth because of our ability to identify and partner with cutting-edge pharmaceutical technologies,” said Guillermo Ibarra, More Pharma’s CEO. “We believe the Microcyn Technology – already proven and with a dominant share of the Mexican market – is a compelling addition to our product portfolio, allowing us to build upon Oculus’ established success in the Mexican market and affording us the opportunity to achieve similar commercial success throughout the South and Central American and Caribbean countries.”

Under the terms of the agreement, More Pharma will pay Oculus an up-front $5.1-million licensing fee. The transition of the marketing and sales effort in Mexico to More Pharma will begin immediately, while expansion into other South/Central American and Caribbean countries is dependent upon securing the needed regulatory clearances in those regions. More Pharma will oversee and underwrite all costs for regulatory review and approval.

“We are excited about partnering with More Pharma and their rapidly growing sales and marketing teams in Mexico, the Caribbean, Central, and South America,” added Hoji Alimi, CEO of Oculus. “We believe this positions us for accelerated long-term unit sales growth in Mexico and also provides us with a terrific partner to introduce our portfolio of Microcyn-based products throughout South and Central America – new territories that are large, untapped markets with a growing middle class.”

Founded in 2007, More Pharma is a pharmaceutical company with strong growth performance and a team of more than 300 people. The company has a talented sales and marketing team with significant prior experience with large international pharmaceutical companies. For more information, visit www.morepharmacorp.com.
