This Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K (excluding the attached exhibit 99.1) shall be incorporated by reference into the Company’s effective Registration Statements on Form F-3, as amended and supplemented (Registration Statement Nos. 333-172796 and 333-196112), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, from the date on which this Report is filed, to the extent not superseded by documents or reports subsequently filed or furnished by Intellipharmaceutics International Inc.

On October 11, 2016, the Registrant entered into a license and commercial supply agreement with Mallinckrodt LLC ("Mallinckrodt"), by which the Registrant has granted Mallinckrodt an exclusive license to market, sell and distribute in the United States the following extended release drug product candidates (the "licensed products") for which the Registrant has abbreviated new drug applications ("ANDAs") filed with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA"):

- Quetiapine fumarate extended-release tablets (generic Seroquel XR®) – ANDA Tentatively Approved by FDA

- Desvenlafaxine extended-release tablets (generic Pristiq®) – ANDA Under FDA Review

- Lamotrigine extended-release tablets (generic Lamictal® XR™) – ANDA Under FDA Review

Under the terms of the 10-year agreement, the Registrant will receive a non-refundable upfront payment of US$3 million in October 2016. In addition, the agreement also provides for the Registrant to have a long-term profit sharing arrangement with respect to the licensed products (which includes up to $11 million in cost recovery payments to the Registrant). The Registrant has agreed to manufacture and supply the licensed products exclusively for Mallinckrodt on a cost plus basis, and Mallinckrodt has agreed that the Registrant will be its sole supplier of the licensed products marketed in the U.S.

The agreement contains customary terms and conditions for an agreement of this kind, and is subject to early termination in the event the Registrant does not obtain FDA approvals of the licensed products by specified dates, or pursuant to any one of several termination rights of each party.

There can be no assurance as to when or if any of the licensed products will receive final FDA approval or that, if so approved, the licensed products will be successfully commercialized and produce significant revenues for the Registrant.

On October 11, 2016, the Registrant issued a news release, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
