Operation and Maintenance 17.1 O&M obligations of the Concessionaire
Patent Prosecution and Maintenance From and after the date of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 8 shall control the prosecution of any patent application and maintenance of any patent included within Licensed Patent Rights. TSRI shall (a) direct and control the preparation, filing and prosecution of the United States and foreign patent applications within Licensed Patent Rights (including without limitation any reissues, reexaminations, appeals to appropriate patent offices and/or courts, interferences and foreign oppositions); and (b) maintain the patents issuing therefrom; in each case, using TSRI’s Office of Patent Counsel (“OPC”) or outside patent counsel selected by TSRI and approved by Company in writing, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, and consistent with the requirements of this Section 8.1. The parties shall mutually agree in advance, on a Licensed Patent Right-by-Licensed Patent Right basis, whether TSRI’s OPC or independent counsel will be principally responsible for filing, prosecution and maintenance of a Licensed Patent Right, it being understood that if the parties agree that external patent counsel will be principally responsible, TSRI shall have the right, at its sole discretion, to utilize TSRI’s OPC in addition to (i.e., in support of and to direct) such independent counsel’s patent filing, prosecution and maintenance activities. The reasonable and documented fees and expenses with regard to the preparation, filing and prosecution of patent applications and maintenance of patents (including without limitation inter partes proceedings) included within Licensed Patent Rights (“Patent Costs”) shall be paid as set forth below. Company shall have full rights of consultation with TSRI and such outside patent counsel on all matters relating to Licensed Patent Rights. TSRI shall consult, and shall instruct its counsel to consult, with Company as to the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of the Licensed Patent Rights (including, without limitation, any reissues, reexaminations, appeals to appropriate patent offices and/or courts, interferences and foreign oppositions) reasonably prior to any deadline or action with the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office or any foreign patent office, and shall furnish to Company copies of all relevant documents reasonably in advance of such consultation, consider in good faith Company’s comments and suggestions with regard to such preparation, filing, prosecution and/or maintenance (including without limitation any inter partes proceedings) of the patent applications and/or patents within Licensed Patent Rights, and use its reasonable efforts to implement all reasonable and timely requests made by Company; provided, however, that in the event of a disagreement between TSRI and Company on any such patent prosecution or maintenance matters, TSRI shall have final decision-making authority over all such patent matters. Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to be present at any court or patent office proceedings relating to Licensed Patent Rights. Provided that Company is not in material breach of its obligations under this Agreement, TSRI shall not abandon any patent or patent application within the Licensed Patent Rights without Company’s prior written consent.
