Background IP As between the Parties, each Party will retain all right, title and interest in and to all of its Background IP.
Background Intellectual Property It is possible that one or both Parties may possess rights in background intellectual property, that is, intellectual property not otherwise subject to this Agreement, which would be useful or essential to the practice or commercialization of the results of this Agreement. For example, the RI might own a patent which would be infringed by the SBC when it attempted to commercialize the results of this Agreement unless a license was obtained from the RI. Where the Parties determine that background technology may exist, consideration should be given to negotiating license rights which will allow the practice and commercialization of the results of this Agreement.
Background Technology List here prior contracts to assign Inventions that are now in existence between any other person or entity and you.

Intellectual Property Rights Infringement HP will defend and/or settle any claims against Customer that allege that an HP-branded product or service as supplied under this Agreement infringes the intellectual property rights of a third party. HP will rely on Customer’s prompt notification of the claim and cooperation with our defense. HP may modify the product or service so as to be non-infringing and materially equivalent, or we may procure a license. If these options are not available, we will refund to Customer the amount paid for the affected product in the first year or the depreciated value thereafter or, for support services, the balance of any pre-paid amount or, for professional services, the amount paid. HP is not responsible for claims resulting from any unauthorized use of the products or services.
Infringement of Intellectual Property Rights Seller (or its supplier) shall indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless against an award of damages and costs against Purchaser by a final judgment of a court of last resort in the country in which the Equipment is originally installed by Seller resulting from actual or alleged patent infringement relating in any way to use or sale of the Equipment, or any component thereof furnished hereunder, provided that Purchaser (i) gives Seller immediate notice in writing of any suit or claim for infringement against Purchaser, (ii) permits Seller (or its supplier) to control the defense of any suit or claim, and (iii) gives Seller (or its supplier) all available information, assistance, and authority to enable Seller (or its supplier) to assume such defense. Seller (or its supplier) shall diligently defend and prosecute all such patent infringement litigation and shall keep Purchaser fully informed of all developments in the defense or adjustments of any such claim or action. If a final injunction or judgment in any patent infringement action is rendered restraining Purchaser’s use of the Equipment, or of any component thereof, Seller shall, at its option and expense, either (i) procure for Purchaser the right to use the Equipment, or (ii) replace or modify the infringing component so that it no longer infringes, or (iii) repurchase the Equipment upon its return to Seller, less reasonable depreciation of 2% per month from date of installation, for use, damage, or obsolescence. Seller shall have no liability whatsoever to Purchaser if any such patent infringement or claim thereof is based upon or arises from (i) the use of any Equipment in combination with an apparatus or device not manufactured or supplied by Seller and such combination cause the infringement, (ii) the use of any Equipment in a manner for which it was neither designed nor contemplated, or (iii) any modification of any Equipment by Purchaser, or by Seller at Purchaser’s request, or by any third party, which causes the Equipment to become infringing.
