Joint Patents With respect to any potentially patentable Joint Invention, the Parties shall meet and agree upon which Party shall prosecute and maintain Patent applications covering such Joint Invention (any such Patent application and any Patents issuing therefrom, a “Joint Patent”) in particular countries and jurisdictions throughout the world. Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, Xxxxxx will prosecute and maintain any Joint Patents in the Licensed Territory, and Onconova will prosecute and maintain the Joint Patents outside the Licensed Territory, subject to the Parties coordinating their efforts as appropriate to make such prosecution activities as efficient, convenient, and harmonious as possible. The Parties ** all expenses of filing, prosecuting and maintaining such Joint Patents. The Party that prosecutes a Joint Patent (the “Prosecuting Party”) shall provide the other Party the opportunity to review and comment on any and all such prosecution efforts regarding the applicable Joint Patent in the particular jurisdictions, and such other Party shall provide the Prosecuting Party reasonable assistance in such efforts; provided that the Prosecuting Party shall have final control over such prosecution efforts after reasonably considering the other Party’s comments, if any. The Prosecuting Party shall provide the other Party with a copy of all material communications from any Patent authority in the applicable jurisdictions regarding the Joint Patent being prosecuted by such Party, and shall provide drafts of any material filings or responses to be made to such patent authorities a reasonable amount of time in advance of submitting such filings or responses. In particular, each Party agrees to provide the other Party with all information necessary or desirable to enable the other Party to comply with any duty of candor and/or duty of disclosure requirements of any Patent authority. Except to the extent a Party is restricted by the licenses granted by such Party to the other Party under the terms of this Agreement, and/or the other covenants contained in this Agreement, each Party shall be entitled to practice, and grant licenses to Third Parties and Affiliates of such Third Parties to practice, the Joint Patents and all Joint Inventions without restriction or an obligation to account to the other Party, and the other Party shall consent and hereby consents, without additional consideration, to any and all such licenses.
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.
Licensed Product The term “Licensed Product” shall mean any product (a) the manufacture, use, importation, sale or offer for sale of which would, in the absence of the license granted by this Agreement, infringe a Valid Claim of any of the Licensed Patent Rights, or (b) that is comprised of, utilizes or incorporates Licensed Biological Materials, or (c) that is discovered, developed or made using a Licensed Process.
Territory 33.1 This Agreement applies to the territory in which CenturyLink operates as an ILEC in the State. CenturyLink shall be obligated to provide services under this Agreement only within this territory.
33.2 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, CenturyLink may terminate this Agreement as to a specific operating territory or portion thereof pursuant to Section 6.7 of this Agreement.
Marking of Licensed Products To the extent commercially feasible and consistent with prevailing business practices, Company shall xxxx, and shall cause its Affiliates and Sublicensees to xxxx, all Licensed Products that are manufactured or sold under this Agreement with the number of each issued patent under the Patent Rights that applies to such Licensed Product.
Regulatory Materials (a) On a Program-by-Program basis, commencing on the Effective Date until the Regulatory Transfer Date, Prothena shall have the right, in consultation with Celgene, to prepare, file and maintain all Regulatory Materials (including any Regulatory Approvals) necessary for the Development and Manufacture of any Collaboration Candidates and Collaboration Products for such Program (collectively, the “Program Regulatory Materials”), and to interact with Regulatory Authorities in connection with the Development and Manufacture of any Collaboration Candidates and Collaboration Products for such Program. Prothena will provide Celgene with a reasonable opportunity to comment substantively on all material Regulatory Materials prior to filing or taking material action, and will reasonably and in good faith consider any comments and actions recommended by Celgene, including with respect to filing strategy. In addition, Prothena will allow Celgene or its representative to attend any and all meetings with Regulatory Authorities to the extent such attendance is not prohibited or limited by such Regulatory Authority.
(b) If Celgene exercises its Phase 1 Portion Participation Right for a given Program, then immediately after such exercise, Prothena shall initiate the transfer of all Program Regulatory Materials, including for clarity any IND for the relevant Collaboration Candidates and/or Collaboration Products that are the subject of such Program to Celgene. The date on which such Program Regulatory Materials are transferred to Celgene shall be the “Regulatory Transfer Date” for such Program. Thereafter, Celgene shall have the right, in consultation with Prothena, to prepare, file, and maintain such Program Regulatory Materials, and to interact with Regulatory Authorities in connection with the Development and, as applicable, Manufacture of such Collaboration Candidates and Collaboration Products for such Program in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 2.5. Additionally, with respect to any Phase 1 Clinical Trial conducted by Celgene pursuant to Section 2.5, Celgene will provide Prothena with a reasonable opportunity to comment substantively on all material Program Regulatory Materials prior to filing or taking material action, and will reasonably and in good faith consider any comments and actions recommended by Prothena, including with respect to filing strategy. In addition, with respect to any Phase 1 Clinical Trial conducted by Celgene pursuant to Section 2.5, Celgene will allow Prothena or its representative to attend any and all meetings with Regulatory Authorities to the extent such attendance is not prohibited or limited by such Regulatory Authority. For clarity, if the Regulatory Transfer Date does not occur prior to the expiration of the Option Term for such Program, Section 2.6.1(a) (and not this Section 2.6.1(b)) shall apply.

9.1.2 Should Oculis not be interested in the prosecution, defense and maintenance of any or all of the Licensed Patents, and/or Xxxxxx decides not to pay all reasonable and necessary expenses with respect to the prosecution, defense or maintenance of any Licensed Patent before any upcoming deadline, Oculis shall give reasonable advance notice to Accure (no less than [***]), and subsequent to such notice Accure shall act as it deems appropriate in connection with the prosecution, defense and maintenance of the Licensed Patents at their discretion and at their own cost. 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.
