In addition, in the event that LICENSEE desires that BOARD file a patent application on any invention arising out of or in connection with the RESEARCH PROGRAM and BOARD elects to do so, BOARD shall have the right to file and prosecute such patent application and maintain any patent that may issue therefrom, and LICENSEE shall pay BOARD's expenses relating to filing and prosecuting of such patent applications and maintaining such patents, unless LICENSEE elects not to pay such expenses pursuant to LICENSEE's rights under Paragraph 13.5.

Such patent applications and patents issuing therefrom shall be deemed to be patent applications and patents within the PATENT RIGHTS.

None of, and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received a notice (written or otherwise) that any of, the Intellectual Property Rights has expired, terminated or been abandoned, or is expected to expire or terminate or be abandoned, within two (2) years from the date of this Agreement. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received, since the date of the latest audited financial statements included within the SEC Reports, a written notice of a claim or otherwise has any knowledge that the Intellectual Property Rights violate or infringe upon the rights of any Person, except as could not have or reasonably be expected to not have a Material Adverse Effect. To the knowledge of the Company, all such Intellectual Property Rights are enforceable and there is no existing infringement by another Person of any of the Intellectual Property Rights. The Company and its Subsidiaries have taken reasonable security measures to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value of all of their intellectual properties, except where failure to do so could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
