Patent Term Extension The Parties will cooperate in selecting a patent within the Patent Rights to seek a term extension for or supplementary protection certificate under in accordance with the applicable laws of any country. Each Party agrees to execute any documents and to take any additional actions as the other Party may reasonably request in connection therewith.
Patent Term Extensions The Parties shall use reasonable efforts to obtain all available supplementary protection certificates, patent term restorations, and other extensions (collectively, “Extensions”) of the Acceleron Patent Rights and Joint Patent Rights (including those available under the Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Act). Each Party shall execute such authorizations and other documents and take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by the other Party to obtain such Extensions. The Parties shall cooperate with each other in gaining Extensions wherever applicable to Acceleron Patent Rights or Joint Patent Rights. The holder of the applicable NDA may determine what Extensions of any such Patent Rights shall be made; provided that, if in any country such holder has an option to extend the patent term for only one of several patents, the first Party shall consult with the other Party before making the election. If more than one patent is eligible for such an Extension, the Parties shall select in good faith a strategy that shall maximize patent protection and commercial value for each Licensed Product. All filings for such Extensions, as determined by the holder of the applicable NDA, shall be made by the Party to whom responsibility for Prosecution of the Acceleron Patent Rights or Joint Patent Rights are assigned, and the owner of record of the applicable Patent Right shall assist with such filings; provided that, in the event that the Party to whom such responsibility is assigned elects not to file for an Extension, such Party shall (a) inform the other Party of its intention not to file, (b) grant the other Party the right to file for such Extension in the Patent Rights’ owner’s name, and (c) provide all necessary assistance in connection therewith. The THIS EXHIBIT HAS BEEN REDACTED AND IS THE SUBJECT OF A CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUEST. REDACTED MATERIAL IS MARKED WITH [* * *] AND HAS BEEN FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION. Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) pursuant to the Shire Agreement, Shire and Acceleron will consult in selecting Patent Rights to extend the patent term with respect to “Licensed Products” under the Shire Agreement, and Shire shall make the decision in all countries of the world other than those of North America with respect to such “Licensed Products” under the Shire Agreement, and the filings for Extensions with respect thereto will be made by the party who is responsible for Prosecuting Patent Rights under the Shire Agreement, and, as such, Celgene’s rights under this Section 8.9 are subject to Shire’s prior rights; and (ii) Acceleron shall keep Celgene informed of all elections with respect to Extensions made pursuant to the Shire Agreement that affect Acceleron Patent Rights, and, to the extent that Shire is making any such elections, Acceleron shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Shire to take the actions specified by this Section 8.9 in a manner consistent with the Shire Agreement; provided that Acceleron will not be in breach of its obligations under this Section 8.9 if, after using such commercially reasonable efforts, it is unable to comply with such obligations because of actions taken or not taken by Shire.
Research Term The Research Program will be carried out during the two (2) year period following the Effective Date, unless this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Article 13 (such period, as may be extended pursuant to this Section 3.2, being the “Research Term”). BMS shall have the option to extend the Research Term for three (3) additional one (1) year periods on a year-by-year basis after the initial two (2) year period. At least one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the scheduled expiration of the Research Term (i.e., the applicable anniversary of the Effective Date) BMS will provide Ambrx with a nonbinding, good faith indication of whether or not BMS intends to extend the Research Term. In order to exercise its option to extend the Research Term, BMS must provide Ambrx a written notice exercising BMS’ option to extend the Research Term at least ninety (90) days prior to the scheduled expiration of the Research Term (i.e., the applicable anniversary of the Effective Date). If BMS does not provide such written notice, the Research Term will end when scheduled (i.e., on the applicable anniversary of the Effective Date). For each extension of the Research Term, subject to Section 3.4, the JRC will prepare an update to the Research Plan which will include an updated Budget for the BMS-funded Ambrx FTEs to perform the work required under such Research Plan and the projected Third Party Costs.
Term Extension The term of this Employment Agreement (the "Term of --------------- this Employment Agreement") will commence as of March 1, 1998, and shall continue through February 28, 2001. On the third and each successive anniversary of the effective date of this Employment Agreement, the Term of this Employment Agreement shall be extended for an additional one (1) year period, unless either party gives notice of such party's intent not to extend the Term of this Employment Agreement not later than the anniversary date immediately preceding the anniversary date on which such extension will occur.. Termination of the Executive's employment pursuant to this Employment Agreement shall be governed by Articles 4 and 5.
Research Program Term The Research Program shall be conducted during the period of five years commencing as of the Agreement Date ("Research Program Term"). Upon not later than seventy-five (75) days' prior written notice JT may, in its sole judgment, terminate the Research Program at the end of the third (3/rd/) year and fourth (4/th/) year of the Research Program. The RMC may terminate the Research Program any time during the Research Program Term if it unanimously determines the Research Program is no longer scientifically useful or that all potential Products would not be commercially viable. In case of such an early termination by JT or the RMC, JT shall be exempt from any payment(s) under Section 10(a) that would have become due and payable after the effective date of such early termination. Following any termination of the Research Program (i) that occurs simultaneously with the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 13 (i.e., no compound or Lead Compound has been designated previously a Collaboration Lead Compound in accordance with Section 3(b) and no Independent Lead Compound is being developed in accordance with Section 3(m)) or (ii) that is followed at some future date by the termination by JT of Development or co-promotion of any Collaboration Lead Compound and/or Product pursuant to Sections 3(l) or 5(c), respectively, or development of an Independent Lead Compound in accordance with Section 3(m) (A) any licenses granted by Tularik to JT will terminate, (B) JT will grant to Tularik an exclusive, sublicensable, worldwide license, to make, use and sell compounds, Collaboration Lead Compounds or Products under JT's interest in Program Patents and Program Know-How and (C) under the terms and conditions to be separately agreed, JT will also grant to Tularik a nonexclusive, sublicensable, worldwide license under any JT Patent Rights and Know-How to the extent necessary to practice the license granted under the Program Patents and Program Know-How in (B) (including, with respect to compounds, a limited number of JT's library compounds approved by JT); provided, however, that in the event the Research Program terminates but the Agreement has not terminated with respect to designated Collaboration Lead Compounds, Independent Lead Compounds and/or Products as provided in Section 2(g)(ii), Sections 2(g)(A), (B) and (C) shall apply only to those compounds, Collaboration Lead Compounds, Independent Lead Compounds and Products for which Development or co-promotion shall have been terminated and/or to those compounds or Lead Compounds that have not been designated previously a Collaboration Lead Compound in accordance with Section 3(b) or an Independent Lead Compound in accordance with Section 3(m); provided further that in the event that JT elects to pursue a Discontinued Compound or a Non-Proposed Compound on or before the first anniversary of the expiration or termination of the Research Program Term pursuant to Section 3(b)(iii) or 3(b)(iv), respectively, Sections 2(g)(A), (B) and (C) shall not apply to such Discontinued Compound or Non-Proposed Compound until such time as JT shall have terminated the Development or co-promotion of such Discontinued Compound or Non- Proposed Compound. Tularik will then be free to pursue clinical development and registration of such compounds, Lead Compounds and/or Products without obligation to JT except as provided in Section 4(f) or Section 5(c), as appropriate.
