To the extent Foreground IP consists of works of authorship, such works shall be works made for hire with the copyrights vesting in Buyer. Seller hereby transfers, conveys, and assigns all right, title and interest in such Foreground IP free of charge to Buyer. Seller hereby irrevocably transfers, conveys, and assigns all right, title and interest in any other Foreground IP not considered a work made for hire free of charge to Buyer.

ii. Seller will, within two (2) months after conception or first actual reduction to practice of any invention and prior to Contract completion, disclose in writing to Buyer all inventions, whether or not patentable, in sufficient technical detail to clearly convey the invention to one skilled in the art to which the invention pertains. Seller shall promptly execute all written instruments, and assist as Buyer reasonably directs in order to file, acquire, prosecute, maintain, enforce and assign Buyer’s Foreground IP rights. Seller hereby irrevocably appoints Xxxxx and any of Buyer’s officers and agents as Xxxxxx’s attorney in fact to act on Xxxxxx’s behalf and instead of Seller, with the same legal force and effect as if executed by Xxxxxx, with respect to executing any such written instruments.
iii. Buyer grants to Seller a non-exclusive, royalty-free right during the term of this Contract to use, reproduce, modify, practice and prepare derivative works of any Foreground IP solely as necessary for Seller to perform its obligations under this Contract, except that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller may use and disclose Proprietary Information and Materials as permitted under this Contract. Seller shall not, without Buyer’s prior written consent, use Foreground IP or such derivative works in any manner not authorized under this Contract, including, but not limited to, developing, manufacturing, obtaining a certification to manufacture, offering for sale or selling any product, equipment, or service which utilizes or is enabled by Foreground IP.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS - INVENTION AND PATENT RIGHTS A. General
1. NASA has determined that 51 U.S.C. § 20135(b) does not apply to this Agreement. Therefore, title to inventions made (conceived or first actually reduced to practice) under this Agreement remain with the respective inventing party(ies). No invention or patent rights are exchanged or granted under this Agreement, except as provided herein.
Background Technology List here prior contracts to assign Inventions that are now in existence between any other person or entity and you.
Patent Rights The State and the U. S. Department of Transportation shall have the royalty free, nonexclusive and irrevocable right to use and to authorize others to use any patents developed by the Engineer under this contract.
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.
Joint Patent Rights If not already established under the Research Collaboration Agreement, prior to either Party filing any Patent Right disclosing Joint Program Technology or Joint Probody Platform Improvements, the Parties shall establish a patent committee (the “Patent Committee”) comprised of at least one (1) representative of each Party for the purpose of facilitating the preparation, filing, prosecution, maintenance and defense of Joint Patent Rights. As agreed upon by the Parties, meetings of the Patent Committee may be face-to-face or may be conducted by teleconferences or videoconferences, from time to time as needed. The Patent Committee will be the forum through which the Parties coordinate their respective obligations to each other described in Sections 5.2.2 and 5.2.3 hereof and in this Section. In the event the Parties conceive or generate any Joint Program Technology or Joint Probody Platform Improvements, the Parties shall promptly meet to discuss and determine, based on mutual consent, whether to seek patent protection thereon, which Party will control filing, prosecution and maintenance of such patents and how to pay for the filing, prosecution and maintenance of such patents. It is presumed that ImmunoGen will control filing, prosecution and maintenance of Joint Patent Rights claiming Joint Program Technology or Joint Conjugation Probody Platform Improvements, and that CytomX will control filing, prosecution and maintenance of Joint Patent Rights claiming Joint Unconjugated Probody Platform Improvements. Neither Party will file any Joint Patent Right without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Party controlling filing and prosecution of any such Joint Patent Right (a) shall keep the other Party informed regarding each Patent Right, (b) shall consider in good faith any recommendations made by the other Party in regard to the filing, prosecution or maintenance of any such Patent Right and (c) shall not unreasonably refuse to incorporate any recommendations made by the other Party in regard to such filing, prosecution or maintenance.
Joint Technology The Parties agree that, in order to effectuate the provisions of Section 4.4.2, subject to any exclusive licenses granted hereunder, (a) the non-use provisions of this Article 9 shall not apply to each Party’s use of Joint Technology, and (b) each Party may disclose the Joint Technology to Third Parties who are under terms of confidentiality no less strict than those contained in this Agreement.
