Ultrasound contrast agent developer Molecular Biosystems of San
Diego announced last week that it has exchanged breach-of-contract
notices with its Japanese licensee, Shionogi & Co. of Osaka.
MBI said that the two companies have been unable to agree on terms
for canceling their relationship, which covers distribution of
