### Tab 1: Strategic Bio-Licensing Protocol (Policy 808)
Under BioPharma Corp's Policy 808, cross-border commercialization sub-licenses for Class III biologic therapies require prior written approval from the Global Licensing Board (GLB) unless the sub-licensor operates in a Tier 1 jurisdiction AND has maintained full compliance with ISO-13485 standards for at least 3 consecutive fiscal years.
Exception Clause 4B: If a sub-license or underlying therapy involves co-development with a state-backed entity, GLB prior written approval is mandatory regardless of jurisdiction tier or ISO certification status.
