Defense of Infringement Claims In the event Licensee or Licensor becomes aware that Licensee’s or any of its Affiliates’ or any Sublicensees’ practice of the Licensed Patents is the subject of a claim for patent infringement by a Third Party, that Party shall promptly notify the other, and the Parties shall consider the claim and the most appropriate action to take. Licensee shall cause each of its Affiliates and each Sublicensee to notify Licensee promptly in the event such entity becomes aware that its practice of the Licensed Patents is the subject of a claim of patent infringement by another. To the extent Licensor takes any action, Licensor (or the ReGenX Licensors) shall have the right to require Licensee’s reasonable cooperation in any such suit, upon written notice to Licensee; and Licensee shall have the obligation to participate upon Licensor’s request, in which event, Licensor shall bear the cost of Licensee’s participation. Without Licensor’s prior written permission, Licensee must not settle or compromise any such suit in a manner that imposes any material obligations or restrictions on Licensor or the ReGenX Licensors or grants any rights to the Licensed Patents other than rights that Licensee has the right to grant under this Agreement.
Infringement Claims If the manufacture, sale or use of any Licensed Product in the Territory pursuant to this Agreement results in any claim, suit or proceeding alleging patent infringement against Unigene or GSK, such Party shall promptly notify the other Party hereto. If GSK is not named as a Party in such a claim, suit or proceeding, GSK may, at its own expense and through counsel of its own choice, seek leave to intervene in such claim, suit or proceeding. Unigene agrees not to oppose such intervention. If GSK, and not Unigene, is named as a Party to such claim, suit or proceeding, GSK shall have the right to control the defense and settlement of such claim, suit or proceeding, at its own expense, using counsel of its own choice, however Unigene, at its own expense and through counsel of its own choice, may seek to intervene if the claim, suit or proceeding relates to the commercialization of the Licensed Product in the Field, and in such event, GSK agrees not to oppose such intervention. If GSK is named as a Party and Unigene shall, at any time, tender its defense to GSK, then GSK shall defend Unigene in such claim, suit or proceeding, at GSK’s own expense and through counsel of its own choice, and GSK shall control the defense and settlement of any such claim, suit or proceeding; provided, GSK shall not enter into any agreement which (i) extends or purports to exercise GSK’s rights under Unigene’s Licensed Technology beyond the rights granted pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) makes any admission regarding (a) wrongdoing on the part of Unigene, or (b) the invalidity, unenforceability or absence of infringement of any Unigene Patent Rights or Joint Patent Rights, without the prior written consent of Unigene, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Parties shall cooperate with each other in connection with any such claim, suit or proceeding and shall keep each other reasonably informed of all material developments in connection with any such claim, suit or proceeding. Nothing in this Section 6.5 shall limit or modify the provisions of Article 9, which may apply to such infringement claims as discussed herein.

Licensed Patents Immune Design, at its expense, shall have the first right to file, prosecute and maintain all Licensed Patents for which Immune Design has any exclusive rights under this Agreement using patent counsel reasonably approved by IDRI, including conducting any interferences, reexaminations, reissues, oppositions, or request for patent term extension relating thereto. Immune Design shall conduct such filing, prosecution and maintenance in good faith, taking into consideration IDRI’s retained rights hereunder, and consistent with reasonable business judgment, provide IDRI with all relevant or material documentation and proposed filing in the Territory so that IDRI may be concurrently and promptly informed of the continuing prosecution, and consult with IDRI with regards to Immune Design’s patent strategy with the Licensed Patents for which Immune Design has any exclusive rights under this Agreement. Licensed Patents in the name of IDRI shall remain in the name of IDRI. Immune Design shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ***, as applicable. To the extent such ***, Immune Design shall provide IDRI reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such prosecution efforts regarding such Licensed Patents in the Territory, and any IDRI comments will be reasonably considered in such prosecution efforts, and included to the extent affecting the IDRI Exclusive Field or IDRI Territory, as the case may be. If Immune Design determines in its sole discretion to abandon or not maintain any Licensed Patent for which Immune Design has any exclusive rights under this Agreement in the Territory, then Immune Design shall promptly provide IDRI with written notice of such determination at least sixty (60) days before any deadline for taking action to avoid abandonment and shall provide IDRI with the right, opportunity and reasonable assistance to prepare, file, prosecute and maintain such Licensed Patent in the applicable jurisdiction in IDRI’s sole discretion and at IDRI’s expense, provided that Immune Design shall provide such reasonable assistance at its *** INDICATES MATERIAL THAT WAS OMITTED AND FOR WHICH CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT WAS REQUESTED.

If IDRI elects to prepare, file, prosecute and maintain such Licensed Patent in such jurisdiction for which Immune Design has any exclusive rights, then Immune Design’s license rights to such Licensed Patent in such country will become nonexclusive in such country under such Licensed Patent (and/or patent application). If IDRI desires Immune Design to file, in a particular jurisdiction, a Licensed Patent for which Immune Design has any exclusive rights under this Agreement that claims priority to another Licensed Patent for which Immune Design has any exclusive rights under this Agreement, IDRI shall provide written notice to Immune Design requesting that Immune Design file such patent application in such jurisdiction. If IDRI provides such written notice to Immune Design, Immune Design shall either (i) file and prosecute such patent application and maintain any patent issuing thereon in such jurisdiction and the Parties shall share the related costs and expenses (A) in countries *** on the basis of *** percent (***%) Immune Design: *** percent (***%) IDRI or (B) in countries within the IDRI Territory equally; or (ii) notify IDRI that Immune Design does not desire to file such patent application in such jurisdiction and provide IDRI with the opportunity to file and prosecute such patent application, provided that if IDRI files and prosecutes such patent application in such jurisdiction, then Immune Design’s license rights to such License Patent in such country will become nonexclusive in such country under such Licensed GLA Patent (and/or patent application). Immune Design shall be responsible for the costs and expenses incurred in connection with its own activities for filing, prosecuting and maintaining the Licensed Patents; IDRI shall be responsible for monitoring of such activities by IDRI.
Licensed Patent Rights The term “Licensed Patent Rights” shall mean rights arising out of or resulting from:
Third Party Infringement Claims If the production, sale or use of the any Licensed Product in or outside the Territory results in a claim, suit or proceeding alleging patent infringement against Licensee or Licensor (or their respective Affiliates, licensees or Sublicensees) (collectively, “Infringement Actions”), such Party shall promptly notify the other Party hereto in writing. The Party subject to such Infringement Action shall have the right to direct and control the defense thereof, at its own expense with counsel of its choice; provided, however, that (i) if such Infringement Action involves the Territory, Licensee shall have the right to assume the defense thereof in the Territory and to direct and control the defense thereof, at its own expense with counsel of its choice, (ii) if such Infringement Action involves Japan, Licensor shall have the right to assume the defense thereof within Japan and to direct and control the defense thereof, at its own expense with counsel of its choice, (iii) if such Infringement Action involves both the Territory and Japan, the Parties shall cooperate in good faith with respect to their respective defenses of such Infringement Actions, and (iv) in all cases the other Party may participate in the defense and/or settlement thereof, at its own expense with counsel of its choice. In any event, the Party that is defending the Infringement Action (the “Defending Party”) agrees to keep the other Party hereto reasonably informed of all material developments in connection with any such Infringement Action and the Parties shall reasonably cooperate in the defense of any such suit or Infringement Action. If Licensee is the Defending Party, Licensee agrees not to settle such Infringement Action, or make any admissions or assert any position in such Infringement Action, in a manner that would adversely affect the Licensed Product or the manufacture, use or sale of the Licensed Product within or outside the Territory, without the prior written consent of Licensor, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; and similarly if Licensor is the Defending Party, Licensor agrees not to settle such Infringement Action, or make any admissions or assert any position in such Infringement Action, in a manner that would adversely affect the Licensed Product, or the manufacturing, use or sale of the Licensed Product, in the Territory, without the prior written consent of Licensee, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
Infringement Claims by Third Parties If the Manufacture, use or Commercialization of a Molecule or Product in the Territory pursuant to this Agreement results in, or may result in, any claim, suit, or proceeding by a Third Party alleging patent infringement by AbbVie or Galapagos (or their respective Affiliates or Sublicensees), the Party first receiving notice of such claim, suit, or proceeding shall promptly notify the other Party thereof in writing. AbbVie shall defend and control the defense of any such claim, suit, or proceeding at its own expense (except to the extent any such cost or expense is allocable to the Galapagos Territory, in which event such cost or expense, to the extent reasonable and reasonably incurred, shall be reimbursed by Galapagos in accordance with Section 7.9), using counsel of its own choice. Galapagos may participate in any such claim, suit, or proceeding with counsel of its choice at its own expense. Without limitation of the foregoing, if AbbVie finds it necessary or desirable to join Galapagos as a party to any such action, Galapagos shall execute all papers and perform such acts as shall be reasonably required at AbbVie’s expense. Each Party shall keep the other Party reasonably informed of all material developments in connection with any such claim, suit, or proceeding. Unless otherwise set forth herein, AbbVie shall have the right to settle such claim, including by entering into a license agreement pursuant to Section 7.6; provided, that AbbVie shall not settle any litigation under this Section 7.4 in a manner that diminishes or has a material adverse effect on the rights or interest of Galapagos, or in a manner that imposes any costs (except as set forth in the immediately following proviso) or liability on, or involves any admission by, Galapagos, without Galapagos’ express written consent; provided, further, that entering into an agreement with such Third Party pursuant to Section 7.6 shall not require the consent of Galapagos. Each Party agrees to provide the other Party with copies of all pleadings filed in such action and to allow the other Party reasonable opportunity to participate in the defense of the claims. AbbVie shall be entitled to deduct […***…] percent ([…***…]%) of the reasonable out-of-pocket attorney’s fees and court costs borne by AbbVie (and not reimbursed by Galapagos pursuant to Section 7.9) in defending such claim, suit, or proceeding brought by a Third Party alleging that a Molecule, Product or the Manufacturing Process (which Manufacturing Process AbbVie has not modified in any substantial part pertinent to the asserted claims in said proceeding) infringe one (1) or more Patents controlled by the Third Party. Such deduction shall be applied in a given Calendar Quarter from the sales-based milestones due to Galapagos pursuant to Section 6.4.1, and to the extent not exhausted within an […***…] ([…***…]) month period, may be deducted from royalties due to Galapagos pursuant to Section 6.5. Any recoveries by AbbVie of any sanctions awarded to AbbVie and against a party asserting a claim being defended under this Section 7.4 shall be applied as follows: such recovery shall be applied first to (i) reimburse AbbVie for its reasonable out-of-pocket costs of defending such claim, suit, or proceedings to the extent not deducted from sales-based milestones pursuant to the previous sentence, and (ii) reimburse Galapagos for sales-based milestones deductions pursuant to the previous sentence. The balance of any such recoveries shall be retained or provided to AbbVie and included in calculation of Net Sales for the relevant Product, except to the extent such recovery is attributable to the Galapagos Territory, in which event it shall be retained by or provided to Galapagos. ***Confidential Treatment Requested***
Infringement of Patents by Third Parties (a) Except as expressly provided in the remainder of this Section 6.3, Intrexon shall have the sole right to take appropriate action against any person or entity directly or indirectly infringing any Intrexon Patent (or asserting that an Intrexon Patent is invalid or unenforceable) (collectively, “Infringement”), either by settlement or lawsuit or other appropriate action.
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 TAP 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.
