Licensed Patent Rights The term “Licensed Patent Rights” shall mean rights arising out of or resulting from:
Patent Infringement (a) If LICENSEE learns of any substantial infringement of Patent Rights, LICENSEE shall so inform UNIVERSITY and provide UNIVERSITY with reasonable evidence of the infringement. Neither party shall notify a third party of the infringement of Patent Rights without the consent of the other party. Both parties shall use reasonable efforts and cooperation to terminate infringement without litigation.
(b) LICENSEE may request UNIVERSITY to take legal action against such third party for the infringement of Patent Rights. Such request shall be made in writing and shall include reasonable evidence of such infringement and damages to LICENSEE. If the infringing activity has not abated ninety (90) days following LICENSEE’s request, UNIVERSITY shall elect to or not to commence suit on its own account. UNIVERSITY shall give notice of its election in writing to LICENSEE by the end of the one-hundredth (100th) day after receiving notice of such request from LICENSEE. LICENSEE may thereafter bring suit for patent infringement in its own name (and in the name of UNIVERSITY if necessary) and at its own expense, if and only if UNIVERSITY elects not to commence suit and the infringement occurred in a jurisdiction where LICENSEE has an exclusive license under this Agreement. If LICENSEE elects to bring suit, UNIVERSITY may join that suit at its own expense.
(c) Recoveries from actions brought pursuant to Paragraph 5.2(b) shall belong to the party bringing suit except that in the event that LICENSEE brings suit for infringement of Patent Rights and an acceptable settlement is entered into or monetary damages are awarded in a final non-appealable judgment, UNIVERSITY shall be reimbursed for any amount which would have been due to UNIVERSITY under this Agreement if the products sold by the infringer actually had been sold by LICENSEE. Legal actions brought jointly by UNIVERSITY and LICENSEE and fully participated in by both shall be at the joint expense of the parties and all recoveries shall be shared jointly by them in proportion to the share of expense paid by each party.
(d) Each party shall cooperate with the other in litigation proceedings at the expense of the party bringing suit. Litigation shall be controlled by the party bringing the suit, except that UNIVERSITY may choose to be represented by counsel of its choice (at its expense) in any suit brought by LICENSEE.
Joint Patent Rights If not already established under the Research Collaboration Agreement, prior to either Party filing any Patent Right disclosing Joint Program Technology or Joint Probody Platform Improvements, the Parties shall establish a patent committee (the “Patent Committee”) comprised of at least one (1) representative of each Party for the purpose of facilitating the preparation, filing, prosecution, maintenance and defense of Joint Patent Rights. As agreed upon by the Parties, meetings of the Patent Committee may be face-to-face or may be conducted by teleconferences or videoconferences, from time to time as needed. The Patent Committee will be the forum through which the Parties coordinate their respective obligations to each other described in Sections 5.2.2 and 5.2.3 hereof and in this Section. In the event the Parties conceive or generate any Joint Program Technology or Joint Probody Platform Improvements, the Parties shall promptly meet to discuss and determine, based on mutual consent, whether to seek patent protection thereon, which Party will control filing, prosecution and maintenance of such patents and how to pay for the filing, prosecution and maintenance of such patents. It is presumed that ImmunoGen will control filing, prosecution and maintenance of Joint Patent Rights claiming Joint Program Technology or Joint Conjugation Probody Platform Improvements, and that CytomX will control filing, prosecution and maintenance of Joint Patent Rights claiming Joint Unconjugated Probody Platform Improvements. Neither Party will file any Joint Patent Right without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Party controlling filing and prosecution of any such Joint Patent Right (a) shall keep the other Party informed regarding each Patent Right, (b) shall consider in good faith any recommendations made by the other Party in regard to the filing, prosecution or maintenance of any such Patent Right and (c) shall not unreasonably refuse to incorporate any recommendations made by the other Party in regard to such filing, prosecution or maintenance.
Third Party Patent Rights No Party makes any warranty with respect to the validity, perfection or dominance of any Patent or other proprietary right or with respect to the absence of rights in Third Parties which may be infringed by the manufacture or sale of the Licensed Product. Each Party agrees to bring to the attention of the other Party any patent or patent application it discovers, or has discovered, and which relates to the subject matter of this Agreement.
Infringement (a) For Xxxxxx Products, only, and subject to the limitations of liability stated in Section 13, Xxxxxx agrees to: (1) defend any suit or proceeding against Customer, insofar as it is based on a claim or action by third parties alleging that a Xxxxxx Product delivered to Customer directly infringes a U.S. trademark, copyright, mask works right or patent of a third party, and (2) pay all damages and costs, including legal fees, which may be assessed against Customer in such action that are attributable to such claim; provided, however, that Customer shall give Xxxxxx prompt notice, in writing, of all such claims or actions instituted against it, and an opportunity to elect to take over, settle or defend the same through counsel of Xxxxxx’ own choice and under Xxxxxx’ sole discretion and at Xxxxxx’ own expense, and will make available to Xxxxxx in the event of such election, all defenses against such claims or actions, known or available to Customer. If a Xxxxxx Product become (or in Xxxxxx’ reasonable opinion is likely to become) the subject of any such action or claim, Xxxxxx shall, at its option and expense, pursue one or more of the following options:
(i) Procure for Customer the right to continue using such Xxxxxx Product; or
(ii) Replace or modify such Xxxxxx Product so that it becomes non-infringing while providing equivalent performance; or
(iii) Grant a refund for the payments made by Customer to Xxxxxx for all units of such Xxxxxx Product then in Customer’s possession (upon Xxxxxx’ receipt of such units within ninety (90) days after notifying Customer of the granting of such refund), and terminate this Agreement with respect to such Xxxxxx Product. Notwithstanding the above, Xxxxxx shall not be obligated to indemnify or hold harmless Customer if the alleged infringement arises out of : (1) any combination of Xxxxxx Products with products not supplied or approved in writing by Xxxxxx, where such infringement would not have occurred but for such combination; (2) the modification or customization of Xxxxxx Products not performed by Xxxxxx, where such infringement would not have occurred but for such modification or customization; (3) the use of a Xxxxxx Product in an application for which it was not designed or intended, where such infringement would not have occurred but for such use; (4) a claim based on intellectual property rights owned by Customer or any of companies controlled by, controlling or under common control with Customer; or (5) where the Xxxxxx Products were designed by Xxxxxx to Customer’s specification. Contributory infringement is specifically excluded from this indemnity.
(a) states Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy in the event that a Xxxxxx Product infringes on the intellectual property right of any third party.
(b) In the event a claim is based partially on an indemnified claim described in Article 11(a) above and partially on a non-indemnified claim , any payments and reasonable attorney fees incurred in connection with such claims are to be apportioned between the parties in accordance with the degree of cause attributable to each party.
(c) Obligations related to Third Party Products are expressly excluded from Xxxxxx’ obligations to Customer under this Section 11.
Infringement of Third Party Rights Each Party shall promptly notify the other in writing of any allegation by a Third Party that the activity of either of the Parties hereunder infringes or may infringe the intellectual property rights of such Third Party. Genentech shall have the first right but not the obligation to control any defense of any such claim involving alleged infringement of Third Party rights by Genentech’s activities under this Agreement at its own expense and by counsel of its own choice, and Curis shall have the right but not the obligation, at its own expense, to be represented in any such action by counsel of its own choice. If Genentech fails to proceed in a timely fashion with regard to such defense, Curis shall have the right but not the obligation to control any such defense of such claim at its own expense and by counsel of its own choice, and Genentech shall have the right but not the obligation, at its own expense, to be represented in any such action by counsel of its own choice. Curis shall have the first right but not the obligation to control any defense of any such claim involving alleged infringement of Third Party rights by Curis’ activities under this Agreement at its own expense and by counsel of its own choice, and Genentech shall have the right but not the obligation, at its own expense, to be represented in any such action by counsel of its own choice. If Curis fails to proceed in a timely fashion with regard to such defense, Genentech shall have the right but not the obligation to control any such defense of such claim at its own expense and by counsel of its own choice, and Curis shall have the right but not the obligation, at its own expense, to be represented in any such action by counsel of its own choice. Neither Party shall have the right to settle any infringement action under this Section 10.5 in a manner that diminishes the rights or interests of the other Party hereunder without the consent of such Party.
Patent Rights The State and the U. S. Department of Transportation shall have the royalty free, nonexclusive and irrevocable right to use and to authorize others to use any patents developed by the Engineer under this contract.
