Application Form To apply for a pole attachment or conduit occupancy license under this Agreement, Applicant shall submit to SWBT two signed copies of the appropriate application forms. SWBT represents that the forms specified in subsections (a)-(b) are forms in use prior to the effective date of this Agreement and that SWBT is in the process of revising such forms to conform to the provisions of this Agreement and to streamline the application process. The parties therefore agree that the forms specified in subsections (a) and (b) will be interim forms only. SWBT reserves the right to change the format and content of these forms upon 60 days written notice to Applicant.
(a) To apply for a pole attachment license, Applicant shall submit to SWBT two signed copies of SWBT’s Form SW-9434 (“Access Application and Make- Ready Authorization”) together with completed Form SW-9433 (“Pole Attachments”). An application for a pole attachment license will not be complete or subject to processing by SWBT until these forms have been submitted to SWBT; provided, however, that such forms will be deemed to be substantially complete if they contain the information specified in subsections (c)-(h) below, as applicable. Copies of Forms SW-9433 and SW-9434 are attached to this Agreement as parts of APPENDIX III.
(b) To apply for a conduit occupancy license, Applicant shall submit to SWBT two signed copies of SWBT’s Form SW-9434 (“Access Application and Make-Ready Authorization”) together with completed Form SW-9435 (“Conduit Occupancy”). An application for a conduit occupancy license will not be complete or subject to processing by SWBT until these forms have been submitted to SWBT; provided, however, that such forms will be deemed to be substantially complete if they contain the information specified in subsections (c)-(h) below, as applicable. Copies of Forms SW-9434 and SW-9435 are attached to this Agreement as parts of APPENDIX III.
(c) Each application for a license under this Agreement shall include, at a minimum, the following information:
(1) the poles, ducts, and conduits (including all manholes) along Applicant’s proposed route to or within which Applicant desires to attach or place its facilities;
(2) a description of the facilities to be attached to SWBT’s poles and a description of the facilities to be placed within each component of SWBT’s conduit system (including but not limited to ducts, conduits, manholes, and handholes) along the proposed route;
(3) for poles, the proposed points of attachment;
(4) for building entrance or building distribution ducts or conduits or other space within a building, a conspicuous statement, as required by Section 5.06 of this Agreement, that the application pertains to a building entrance or building distribution duct or conduit or other space within a building;
(5) if applicable, a conspicuous notation that the space requested is not to be assigned (or billed) to Applicant until SWBT has received Applicant’s written instruction to make such assignment or issued a license authorizing Applicant to occupy the space requested; and
(6) if applicable, a conspicuous statement that Applicant intends to occupy the space before the issuance of a license, as provided in Section 8.03 of this Agreement.
(d) Facilities descriptions which apply to multiple pole attachments or conduit occupancies need only be described once on any form. Facilities descriptions shall include, at a minimum, the following information:
(1) the number and types of cables, including the physical size (diameter) and weight (weight per foot);
(2) the number and types of strands, if any, which will be used to support the cables, including the rated holding capacity expressed in thousand pound increments (e.g., 2.2M) of such strands; and
(3) sufficient information to identify and describe the physical characteristics (size, dimensions, and weight) of apparatus enclosures and other facilities to be attached to SWBT’s poles or placed in SWBT’s conduit system.
(e) When it appears to Applicant that facilities modification, capacity expansion, or make-ready work may be required to accommodate Applicant’s access requests, Applicant shall describe the facilities modification, capacity expansion, or make-ready work which Applicant proposes. Applicant shall also describe its plans, if any, to use any infrequent construction technique or connectivity solution authorized under Section 6.03 to avoid high or unusual expenditures and state its reasons for the use of such technique or solution.
(f) Applicant acknowledges that the poles along a particular pole line or route may include poles owned by firms (such as electric utilities) other than SWBT, that it may be necessary for SWBT to rearrange its facilities or perform other make-ready work on poles other than poles it owns or controls in order to accommodate Applicant’s request for access to SWBT’s poles and that, at the time an application is submitted, it may be difficult for Applicant to determine with certainty whether a particular pole is owned or controlled by SWBT or by another entity. Accordingly, the application shall, to the extent feasible, identify all poles utilized by SWBT (without regard to ownership) along Applicant’s proposed route.
(g) Each application for a license under this Agreement shall be accompanied by a construction schedule showing Applicant’s projected dates for beginning and completing construction at the sites specified in the application. Information on this schedule may be used by SWBT’s engineering and outside plant construction personnel in scheduling work required to process Applicant’s applications and scheduling such capacity expansions, make- ready work, and facilities modifications, if any, as may be necessary to accommodate Applicant’s facilities.
(h) Applicant may include multiple cables in a single license application and may provide multiple services (e.g., CATV and non-CATV services) under the same cable sheath or jacket. When both CATV and non-CATV services are provided under the same cable sheath or jacket, or CATV and non-CATV services are provided using different cables attached or lashed to the same strand or otherwise occupying the same space on a pole or the same duct or inner duct within a conduit, Applicant will so advise SWBT and SWBT shall, if permitted by law, adjust its charges to enable SWBT to charge Applicant the rate applicable to telecommunications carriers rather than the rate applicable to cable television systems solely to provide cable service.
Filing of Patent Applications Each Party will make timely decisions regarding the filing of Patent Applications on the CRADA Subject Inventions made solely by its employee(s), and will notify the other Party in advance of filing. Collaborator will have the first opportunity to file a Patent Application on joint CRADA Subject Inventions and will notify PHS of its decision within sixty (60) days of an Invention being reported or at least thirty (30) days before any patent filing deadline, whichever occurs sooner. If Collaborator fails to notify PHS of its decision within that time period or notifies PHS of its decision not to file a Patent Application, then PHS has the right to file a Patent Application on the joint CRADA Subject Invention. Neither Party will be obligated to file a Patent Application. Collaborator will place the following statement in any Patent Application it files on a CRADA Subject Invention: “This invention was created in the performance of a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement with the [INSERT into Agency’s model as appropriate: National Institutes of Health, Food and Drug Administration, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention], an Agency of the Department of Health and Human Services. The Government of the United States has certain rights in this invention.” If either Party files a Patent Application on a joint CRADA Subject Invention, then the filing Party will include a statement within the Patent Application that clearly identifies the Parties and states that the joint CRADA Subject Invention was made under this CRADA.

Schering shall have the right to direct and control all material actions relating to the prosecution or maintenance of these Joint Patents in any country, including correspondence with patent authorities (Schering’s address being named for services), interference proceedings, reexaminations, reissue, opposition and revocation proceedings. If either Party elects not to participate in any such Joint Patent or to quit its participation therein, it shall give notice of this election to the other Party and assign all rights in this Joint Patent to the other Party allowing this Party to file, prosecute and maintain this Joint Patent as being such Party’s solely owned Patent. Each Party shall keep the other informed of all actions taken under this Section 11.3, and provide to the other Party all necessary declarations and cooperate with the other Party to enable Patents or Joint Patents to be issued or transferred. This Section 11.3 (a) shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason.
(b) The Parties agree to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to ensure that any Patent or Joint Patent (on an Invention or Joint Invention) filed outside of the U.S. prior to filing in the U.S. will be in a form sufficient to establish the date of original filing as a priority date for the purposes of a subsequent filing in the U.S. The Parties agree to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to ensure that any Patent or Joint Patent (on an Invention or Joint Invention) filed in the U.S. prior to filing outside the U.S. will be in a form sufficient to establish the date of original filing as a priority date for the purpose of a subsequent filing in any contracting state of the Paris Convention.
