Challenge to Validity of Patent Rights or Copyright Sample Clauses

Challenge to Validity of Patent Rights or Copyright. To the maximum extent permitted by law, if Licensee, or any of its Affiliates, files a lawsuit or otherwise challenges the validity, scope or enforceability of any of the Patent Rights, University shall have the right, at its election, at any time after the filing of said lawsuit to terminate this Agreement immediately without the opportunity for cure provided in Section 9.02(A). If any Sublicensee (or an affiliate thereof) files a lawsuit or otherwise challenges the validity, scope or enforceability of any of the Patent Rights, University shall have the right, at its election, at any time after the filing of said lawsuit to demand that Licensee terminate said agreement under which said Sublicensee takes license/rights in the Patent Rights, which termination must occur and be effective within the cure provided in Section 9.02(A). In the event that, and for any period during which University does not choose to exercise its rights to terminate this Agreement or a Sublicense pursuant to this Section 9.02(C), Licensee will pay to University two times the amounts otherwise due and payable to University under Sections 4.01(D) and 4.01(E) for the remainder of the term of this Agreement. In the event that such a patent challenge is successful, Licensee will have no right to recoup any royalties due and payable to University during the period of challenge. In the event that such a patent challenge is unsuccessful, Licensee shall also reimburse University for all University’s reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred in its defense of said challenge to the Patent Rights. This obligation to reimburse University for defense of Licensee’s unsuccessful challenge to the validity, scope or enforceability of any of the Patent Rights shall survive any termination of this Agreement. A lawsuit shall be deemed ‘unsuccessful’ for purposes of this Section 9.02(C) if: (i) the lawsuit is terminated for any reason prior to a settlement or judgment from which no appeal can be or is taken; (ii) any of the Patent Rights challenged by said lawsuit remain enforceable after any such settlement or judgment is in effect; or (iii) if Licensee would still require a license to any of the Patent Rights to sell any of its products after any such settlement or judgment is in effect.
