Until the execution of any such confirmatory licenses (or alternate solution), so far as may be legally possible, Galapagos and AbbVie shall have the same rights in respect of the Galapagos Patents and be under the same obligations to each other in all respects as if the said confirmatory licenses (or alternate solution) had been executed.
