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.

As from such notification, Oculis shall not be responsible for costs associated with such Licensed Patents, and, where such notification is provided following such time as Xxxxxx assumes responsible for performing patenting matters as set forth above, Oculis shall not be responsible for the preparation, filing, prosecution, protection and maintenance of the mentioned Licensed Patents and such Patent Rights shall cease to be Licensed Patents and the provisions of Agreement shall be of no further effect with respect to such patent and/or country of the Territory.

If LICENSEE no longer wishes to support the prosecution or maintenance of any patent or patent application covered by the PATENT RIGHTS, then LICENSEE shall provide written notice to UNIVERSITY, and LICENSEE shall not be responsible for such corresponding patent expenses that are incurred subsequent to the date of receipt by UNIVERSITY of such written notice by LICENSEE; such returned patent or patent application shall be excluded from the PATENT RIGHTS. LICENSEE shall notify UNIVERSITY immediately if, at any time during the term of this Agreement, LICENSEE or any of its sublicensees does not qualify as a “Small Entity” as provided by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. 6.2 All fees and costs including attorneys’ fees relating to the filing, prosecution and maintenance of the PATENT RIGHTS whether incurred prior to or after the EFFECTIVE DATE of this Agreement shall be the responsibility of LICENSEE.

  • Third Party Patents If, after June 17, 2014, it was or is Necessary or Useful for Allogene (or Pfizer, to the extent identified by Pfizer prior to the Assignment) to license one or more Patent Rights from one or more Third Parties in order to Develop, Manufacture, Commercialize or use any Allogene Licensed Product, whether directly or through any Allogene Affiliate or Sublicensee, then Allogene may, in its sole discretion, negotiate and obtain a license under such Patent Right(s) (each such Third Party license, or any such Third Party license entered into as of the Effective Date by Allogene or by Pfizer and assigned to Allogene, referred to herein as an “Additional Third Party License”). Any royalty otherwise payable to Cellectis under this Agreement with respect to Net Sales of any Allogene Licensed Product by Allogene, its Affiliates or Sublicensees will be reduced by [***] of the amounts payable to Third Parties pursuant to any Additional Third Party Licenses, such reduction to continue until all such amounts have been expended, provided that in no event will the total royalty payable to Cellectis for any Allogene Licensed Product be less than [***] of the royalty amounts otherwise payable for such Allogene Licensed Product and in no event will the royalty payable to Cellectis for any Allogene Licensed Product be reduced below [***] (in each case, other than in the case of Cellectis’ breach of any representation, warranty or covenant hereunder). For purposes of this Section 5.2.2(b), (i) “Necessary” means that, without a license to use the Third Party’s Patent Right, the Development, Manufacture, Commercialization or use of any Allogene Licensed Product in the form such Allogene Licensed Product exists at the time that the Additional Third Party License is executed would, in Allogene’s opinion, infringe such Third Party’s Patent Right and (ii) “Useful” means that Allogene has determined in its discretion that use of such Third Party’s Patent Right would enhance the commercial potential of such Allogene Licensed Product. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties agree and acknowledge that this Section 5.2.2(b) will not apply with respect to royalties payable by Allogene to any Third Party under any agreement in existence as of June 17, 2014. Neither Party will intentionally negotiate with a Third Party an exclusive license that excludes sublicense rights to the other Party, in the event such Third Party rights are necessary, as determined by the negotiating Party, to Develop and Commercialize Allogene Licensed Products and Cellectis Products in connection with this Agreement in the Field.
