INDEMNITY FOR INFRINGEMENT CLAIMS EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT ARISING FROM MATERIALS PROVIDED TO CONTRACTOR BY UNIVERSITY, WHICH MATERIALS ARE UTILIZED BY CONTRACTOR IN THEIR UNALTERED FORM AND WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE INDEMNIFICATION CLAUSE REFERENCED IN THE HOLD HARMELSS SECTION BELOW, CONTRACTOR EXPRESSLY AGREES TO INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS UNIVERSITY AND ITS DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, SUITS, ACTIONS, LOSSES, LIABILITIES, COSTS, EXPENSES, AND DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO ANY CLAIMS THAT THE DELIVERABLES INFRINGE ANY PATENT, COPYRIGHT, TRADE SECRET, TRADEMARK, TRADE DRESS, MASK WORK, UTILITY DESIGN, OR OTHER PROPRIETARY RIGHT OF ANY THIRD PARTY. The indemnity under this Section will not apply to the extent such alleged or actual infringement arises as a result of (i) modifications of such work made by University which were not approved by Contractor, or (ii) Contractor’s compliance with any of University’s designs, specifications or instructions. In the event that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final, non-appealable order that the work is infringing in a manner for which Contractor is obligated to indemnify University pursuant to this Section, Contractor will, at its option, either (1) procure for University the right to continue using such infringing work; (2) replace the infringing work with a non-infringing item of like form, fit or function; or (3) modify the work so that it no longer infringes.
No Infringement To the best of the Company's knowledge, the Company has not violated or infringed and is not currently violating or infringing, and the Company has not received any communications alleging that the Company (or any of its employees or consultants) has violated or infringed, any Intellectual Property of any other person or entity, to the extent that any such violation or infringement, either individually or together with all other such violations and infringements, would have a Material Adverse Effect.
Claim of Infringement In the event that use of any facilities or equipment (including software), becomes, or in the reasonable judgment of the Party who owns the affected network is likely to become, the subject of a claim, action, suit, or proceeding based on intellectual property infringement, then said Party shall promptly and at its sole expense and sole option, but subject to the limitations of liability set forth below:
Non-Infringement To the knowledge of the Company, there is no unauthorized use, unauthorized disclosure, infringement or misappropriation of any Company-Owned Intellectual Property by any third party. The Company has not brought any Legal Proceeding for infringement or misappropriation of any Company-Owned Intellectual Property. The Company has never infringed or misappropriated any Third-Party Intellectual Property and has no Liability for infringement or misappropriation of any Third-Party Intellectual Property. The operation of the Business, including (i) the design, development, manufacturing, reproduction, marketing, licensing, sale, offer for sale, importation, distribution, provision and/or use of any Company Product and/or Company-Owned Intellectual Property and (ii) the Company’s use of any product, device, process or service used in the Business as previously conducted and currently conducted by the Company and currently proposed to be conducted by the Company, has not and does not and will not infringe (directly or indirectly, including via contribution or inducement), misappropriate or violate any Third-Party Intellectual Property, breach any terms of service, click-through agreement or any other agreement or rules, policies or guidelines applicable to use of such Third-Party Intellectual Property, and does not constitute unfair competition or unfair trade practices under the Applicable Law of any jurisdiction in which the Company conducts its business or in which Company Products are manufactured, marketed, distributed, licensed or sold and there is no basis for any such claims. The Company has not been sued in any Legal Proceeding or received any written communications (including any third-party reports by users) alleging that the Company has infringed, misappropriated, or violated or, by conducting the Business, would infringe, misappropriate, or violate any Intellectual Property of any other Person or entity. No Company Intellectual Property or Company Product is subject to any Legal Proceeding, Order, settlement agreement or right that restricts in any manner the use, transfer or licensing thereof by the Company, or that may affect the validity, use or enforceability of any Company Intellectual Property; provided, however, that the foregoing is made to the Company’s knowledge with respect to Company Intellectual Property that is not Company-Owned Intellectual Property. The Company has not received any opinion of counsel that any Company Product or Company Intellectual Property or the operation of the Business of the Company, as previously or currently conducted, or as currently proposed to be conducted, infringes or misappropriates any Third-Party Intellectual Property Rights. There is no basis for a claim that any Company Intellectual Property is invalid or unenforceable, provided, however, that the foregoing is made to the Company’s knowledge with respect to Company Intellectual Property that is not Company-Owned Intellectual Property.
Infringement Controlled Affiliate shall promptly notify Plan and Plan shall promptly notify BCBSA of any suspected acts of infringement, unfair competition or passing off that may occur in relation to the Licensed Marks and Name. Controlled Affiliate shall not be entitled to require Plan or BCBSA to take any actions or institute any proceedings to prevent infringement, unfair competition or passing off by third parties. Controlled Affiliate agrees to render to Plan and BCBSA, without charge, all reasonable assistance in connection with any matter pertaining to the protection of the Licensed Marks and Name by BCBSA.
Copyright Infringement Contractor shall also indemnify, defend and hold harmless all Indemnitees from all suits or claims for infringement of the patent rights, copyright, trade secret, trade name, trademark, service xxxx, or any other proprietary right of any person or persons in consequence of the use by the City, or any of its boards, commissions, officers, or employees of articles, work or deliverables supplied in the performance of Services. Infringement of patent rights, copyrights, or other proprietary rights in the performance of this Agreement, if not the basis for indemnification under the law, shall nevertheless be considered a material breach of contract.
Third Party Infringement In the event there is infringement by a third party of any Biochrom patent for the Product (“Third Party Infringement”) and GE Healthcare becomes aware of such infringement, GE Healthcare may give Biochrom written notice to that effect, including with such written notice evidence establishing a prima facie case of infringement by such third party. Biochrom shall bear all expenses of any suit brought by it based upon such infringement and shall retain all damages or other monies awarded or received in settlement of such suit. If, after the expiration of ninety (90) days from the date of such notice, Biochrom has not obtained a discontinuance of such infringement or brought suit against the third party infringer, then the parties shall appoint by mutual agreement an attorney with at least 15 years experience in litigating patent infringement lawsuits in the United States, who is a partner at a law firm with a nationally recognized intellectual property practice and who has no prior relationship with either party (“Independent Patent Counsel”). Such Independent Patent Counsel shall evaluate the identified Third Party Infringement and advise the parties in writing by not later than 60 days after his or her appointment whether he or she believes there is a reasonable likelihood of success in pursuing a claim for the Third Party Infringement. The cost of Independent Patent Counsel shall be shared equally by the parties. If Independent Patent Counsel determines that there is a reasonable likelihood of success and by the 30th day after such advice Biochrom has still not obtained a discontinuance of such infringement or brought suit against the third party infringer, then GE Healthcare shall have the right, but not the obligation, to bring suit against such infringer. Biochrom will cooperate with GE Healthcare in any such suit for infringement brought by GE Healthcare against such third party, and shall have the right to consult with GE Healthcare and to participate in and be represented by independent counsel in such litigation at its own expense. GE Healthcare shall bear all expenses of such suit, and shall retain any damages or other monies awarded or received in consequence of such litigation.
Infringement Remedies If, in either party’s opinion, any piece of equipment, software, commodity, or service supplied by Contractor or its subcontractors, or its operation, use or reproduction, is likely to become the subject of a copyright, patent, trademark, or trade secret infringement claim, Contractor must, at its expense: (a) procure for the State the right to continue using the equipment, software, commodity, or service, or if this option is not reasonably available to Contractor, (b) replace or modify the same so that it becomes non-infringing; or (c) accept its return by the State with appropriate credits to the State against Contractor’s charges and reimburse the State for any losses or costs incurred as a consequence of the State ceasing its use and returning it.
