Exhibit 10.13


ASSIGNMENT OF INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY RIGHTS


Institut für Umwelttechnologien GmbH (“IUT”)
has developed and has previously assigned to Isonics Corporation (“Isonics”)
and IUT Detection Technologies, Inc. (“IUTDT”) certain technology as described
in an Agreement between Isonics Corporation on behalf of IUTDT dated December
4, 2002 for research and development activities (the “2002 Agreement”), and a
Confidential Research and Development Agreement between IUT and IUTDT dated
June 8, 2004 (the “2004 Agreement”).


Since
that time, further developments have been made with respect to the IUT
Technology defined in the 2002 Agreement and the Technology as defined in the
2004 Agreement (collectively the “Technology”), and IUT (through its employees
and consultants) has developed products (the “Existing Developed Products”)
from such Technology.


1.                                       Definition of “Technology”. 
For the purposes of this Assignment, the term “Technology” means the technology described on the attached Schedule
A together with any other intellectual or tangible property related to, based
on, derived from or in connection with the Technology, including without
limitation all works, including literary works, pictorial, graphic and
sculptural works, architectural works, works of visual art, mask works, and any
other work that may be the subject matter of copyright protection; advertising
and marketing concepts; information; data; formulas; models; drawings; computer
programs; including all documentation, related listings, design specifications,
and flowcharts; licenses, prototypes, designs, plans, notes, schematics,
patents, patent applications, trademarks, service marks, logos, Internet domain
names, trade names, trade secrets, and other confidential or proprietary
information,  know-how, and any
inventions, including all processes, machines, manufactures and compositions of
matter and any other invention that may be the subject of patent protection;
and all statutory protection obtained or obtainable thereon including those in
foreign countries.  When used
herein, the term “Technology” also includes all intellectual property based on
or related to the Technology.  Developer waives all rights of attribution, and
integrity for specific works created by Developer under the Agreement with
respect of all marketing, advertising and commercial uses thereof.


2.                                       Other Agreements.  IUT
is entering into a Research and Development and Licensing Agreement (the “2005
Agreement”) with Isonics Homeland Security & Defense Corporation (“HSDC”)
by which IUT (through its employees and consultants) will continue to perform
research and development with respect to the Technology and the Existing
Developed Products, and will in the future further develop, improve, modify,
and enhance the Technology and the Existing Developed Products.  “Existing Developed Products shall include
all developments, improvements, modifications, enhancements and the like.  Pursuant to the 2005 Agreement, IUT may also
create new products not associated with or derived from the Existing Developed
Products (the “Developed Products”) for HSDC. 
The Developed Products are subject to the 2005 Agreement and not this
Assignment.


3.                                       Assignment of Technology. 
In consideration of the royalty described below and for other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which IUT hereby



 1
 






 



                                                acknowledges,
IUT hereby assigns to HSDC, its successors and assigns, IUT’s entire right,
title and interest in and to the Technology and the Existing Developed
Products, including, without limitation, all copyrightable or patentable
writings, drawings, inventions, machines, designs, computer programs or process
of its original creation first produced or created by IUT or any employee or
consultant from which IUT has obtained rights to the Technology or the Existing
Developed Products, or in which IUT might otherwise own or claim any interest
as a result of, or related to, performance of work or services for HSDC or its
predecessors under the 2002 Agreement or the 2004 Agreement.  IUT further assigns, and agrees to execute in
the future such documents as may be necessary to complete the assignment of,
IUT’s entire right, title and interest in and to any future developments,
improvements, modifications, or enhancements of or derivations from the Technology
which IUT or IUT’s employees or consultants may produce or create in the future
(or which may be created or produced under IUT’s direction or with IUT’s
assistance or cooperation), including, without limitation, all copyrightable or
patentable writings, drawings, inventions, machines, designs, computer programs
or process of our original creation first produced or created by either IUT, or
in which IUT might otherwise own or claim any interest as a result of, or
related to, performance of work or services for HSDC or any other person or
entity at the request of HSDC.


4.                                       Royalty.  As
consideration for the foregoing assignment and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which HSDC hereby acknowledges,
HSDC agrees to pay IUT a royalty in an amount equal to 2% of the net selling
price of Existing Developed Products that are sold, leased or otherwise put
into use by HSDC or any of its affiliated entities anywhere in the world.  Where
an Existing Developed Product is included with other products for sale, HSDC
will allocate, in good faith, the sales price between the Existing Developed
Product and other products included therewith.


a.               The
royalty payable pursuant to this Section 4 is not intended to be in addition to
any royalty paid by HSDC to IUT for Developed Products that are subject to the
royalty obligation set forth in the 2005 Agreement.  It is the intention that only a total royalty
of 2% be paid with respect to any Existing Developed Product that is subject to
this Assignment.


b.              Payments
to IUT shall be made in United States dollars to the address specified above or
as IUT may otherwise instruct in writing. 
The royalty payments set forth in this Section 4 shall be reportable and
payable within 30 days at the end of each semi-annual period ending on April 30th and October 31st. 
HSDC shall furnish to IUT a statement, certified by an authorized
representative of HSDC, identifying in a reasonable manner the number of units
of Existing Developed Products that were subject to the royalty during such
semi-annual period, and the amount payable to IUT pursuant to this Section 4.


c.               HSDC
shall keep full, clear and accurate records of units of Existing Developed
Products.  HSDC shall furnish whatever
additional information IUT may reasonably request from time to time to enable
IUT to ascertain the amounts of royalty fees payable pursuant hereto.  IUT
shall have the right to make an examination and audit during normal business
hours, not more frequently than



 2
 






 



                        annually
and subject to prior clearance and coordination with HSDC, of all records kept
pursuant to this Section 4 by HSDC and such other records and accounts as may
under recognized accounting practices contain information bearing upon the
amounts of fees payable to IUT under this Assignment.  Prompt adjustment shall be made by the proper
party to compensate for any errors or omissions disclosed by such examination
or audit.  Neither such right to examine
and audit nor the right to receive such adjustment shall be affected by any
statement to the contrary appearing on checks or otherwise unless such
statement appears in a letter signed by the party having such right expressly
waiving such right and such letter is delivered to the other party. If such
audit discloses a reported error of 10% or greater with respect to the reported
sums paid to IUT by HSDC during the applicable period subject to such audit,
HSDC shall fully reimburse IUT, promptly upon demand, for the reasonable fees
and disbursements for completing such audit.  Otherwise, IUT shall be responsible for the
cost of each such audit.


5.                                       Effectiveness and Further Assurances.  This assignment is effective as of the date
of the creation of any protectible works created by IUT or its employees or
contractors in the past or in the future that relate to or derive from the
Technology.  IUT will cooperate (and will
in good faith seek the cooperation of its employees and consultants) with any
efforts of HSDC to register and enforce this assignment and IUT will obtain
similar assignments, at no additional cost to HSDC, from any person who may
claim an interest in any aspect of the Technology or a Existing Developed
Product. IUT shall execute and aid in the preparation of any papers that HSDC
may consider necessary or helpful to obtain or maintain any copyrights,
patents, or other proprietary rights at no charge to HSDC, except that HSDC
shall reimburse IUT for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred.


6.                                       Interpretation.  This
assignment will be interpreted under the laws of the State of Colorado, United
States of America and may be enforced in the federal courts sitting in Denver,
Colorado or the state courts in Jefferson County, Colorado.  To the extent this assignment is presented
for interpretation or enforcement in any jurisdiction outside of the United
States, the tribunal is directed by the parties to interpret this Assignment to
give maximum effect to the intention of the parties as set forth herein.


7.                                       Representation of Ownership.  IUT
represents that it owns and has a right to assign the Technology and Existing
Developed Products assigned hereby, subject only to the prior assignments made
in the 2002 Agreement and the 2004 Agreement. 
IUT further represents that it has obtained all necessary assignments to
the Technology and Existing Developed Products from its employees and
consultants to satisfy the purpose and intent of this Assignment.


8.                                       Notices.  All notices

                                                day
after deposit with a commercial overnight carrier, with written verification of
receipt to the addresses set forth in the first paragraph above.   Changes in such addresses may be specified
by written notice.


9.                                       Entire Agreement. 
This Assignment sets forth the entire Agreement and understanding
between the Parties as to the subject matter hereof and merges all prior
discussions and agreements between them.

other than as expressly provided herein or in a writing signed with or
subsequent to the execution hereof by an authorized representative of the Party
to be bound thereby.


10.                               Escalation
and Dispute Resolution


a.               If a dispute that
arises out of or relates to performance under this Assignment, the following
escalation procedure shall be initiated: 
The Party raising the dispute shall provide the other Party with written
notice stating in detail the nature of the dispute.  Within fifteen business days of the date of
such notice, the Parties will designate individuals in senior management
positions who have not previously been involved in day-to-day operations in the
Development Project who shall thereafter meet and negotiate in good faith to
resolve such dispute within the fifteen day period.  If the parties are unable to resolve the
disagreement within such period, the Parties will submit such dispute to
mediation and then (if no resolution by mediation) to arbitration before a
panel of three arbitrators, both to be conducted in New York City, New York in
accordance with the rules of JAMS Endispute, Inc. (www.jamsadr.com).


b.              Any award made (i)
shall be a bare award limited to a holding for or against a Party and affording
such remedy as is deemed equitable, just and within the scope of the
Assignment; (ii) shall be without findings as to issues (including but not
limited to patent validity and/or infringement) or a statement of the reasoning
on which the award rests; (iii) may in appropriate circumstances (other than
patent disputes) include injunctive relief; 
(iv) shall be made within four months of the appointment of the
arbitrator; and (v) may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.


c.               The requirement for
mediation and arbitration shall not be deemed a waiver of any right of
termination under this Assignment and the arbitrator is not empowered to act or
make any award other than based solely on the rights and obligations of the
Parties prior to any such termination.


d.              The arbitrators
shall be knowledgeable in the legal and technical aspects of this Assignment
and shall determine issues of arbitrability but may not limit, expand or
otherwise modify the terms of this Assignment.

e.               Each Party shall
bear its own expenses but those related to the compensation and expenses of the
mediator and arbitrators shall be borne equally.


f.                 A request by a
Party to a court for injunctive relief shall not be deemed a waiver of the
obligation to mediate and arbitrate.


g.              The arbitrators
shall have authority to award compensatory damages only.  The arbitrators shall have no authority to
award punitive or other damages, and each Party irrevocably waives any claim
thereto.


h.              Except as required
by law, the Parties, their representatives, other participants and the mediator
and arbitrators shall hold the existence, content and result of mediation and
arbitration in confidence.

this Assignment or the application thereof to any Party or circumstances shall,
to any extent, be held to be invalid or unenforceable, then the remainder of
this Assignment, or the application of such term, covenant or condition to
parties or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or
unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby and each term, covenant or
condition of this Assignment shall be valid and be enforced to the fullest
extent permitted by law.


13.                               Execution
in Counterparts.  This Assignment may
be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an
original (including facsimile copies), but all of which together shall
