INFRINGEMENT AND PATENT ENFORCEMENT 11.1 PHS and Licensee agree to notify each other promptly of each infringement or possible infringement of the Licensed Patent Rights, as well as, any facts which may affect the validity, scope, or enforceability of the Licensed Patent Rights of which either party becomes aware.
Infringement of Third Party Patents (a) If a third party asserts that a patent or other proprietary right owned by it is infringed by the manufacture, use, importation, offer for sale or sale of a Licensed Product in the Field and in the Territory and such alleged infringement arises in whole or in part from Alcon's use of the Pharmacyclics Technology (a "Claim"), the Party against whom such a Claim was asserted shall immediately provide the other Party notice of such Claim and the related facts in reasonable detail. Unless it is mutually agreed that the Parties should proceed jointly in defending such an action, the Party sued shall defend such action. The other Party shall cooperate in connection therewith and shall have the right to be represented separately by counsel of its own choice, at its own expense. The entity (whether Pharmacyclics or Alcon) that controls the defense of such a Claim with respect to the Licensed Product in the Field and in the Territory shall also have the right to control settlement of such Claim; provided, however, that no settlement shall be entered into without the consent of the other Party. To the extent that any of the costs set forth in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of this sentence are attributable to infringement arising from Alcon's use of the Pharmacyclics Technology, Alcon shall have the right to deduct from and offset against royalties otherwise payable to Pharmacyclics under Section 4.4(a), the following: (i) all litigation costs related to such Claim; (ii) any money damages paid by Alcon or its Affiliates pursuant to any judgment or settlement resulting from such Claim; and (iii) any royalty that Alcon and/or its Affiliates and sublicensees are required to pay to a third party in settlement of such Claim in order to continue to exercise Alcon's license rights as set forth in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall royalties owed Pharmacyclics under Section 4.4(a) be reduced by more than (*) in any given royalty period.
Enforcement of Patent Rights Kite, at its sole expense, shall have the right to determine the appropriate course of action to enforce Licensed Patent Rights or otherwise xxxxx the infringement thereof, to take (or refrain from taking) appropriate action to enforce Licensed Patent Rights, to defend any declaratory judgments seeking to invalidate or hold the Licensed Patent Rights unenforceable, to control any litigation or other enforcement action and to enter into, or permit, the settlement of any such litigation, declaratory judgments or other enforcement action with respect to Licensed Patent Rights, and shall consider, in good faith, the interests of Cabaret in so doing. Kite shall bring any such enforcement action in Kite’s own name; provided, however, if necessary for standing purposes only, (a) Kite shall have, subject to Cabaret prior consent which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed for more than […***…] after written request by Kite, or conditioned, the right to bring such action in the name of ***Confidential Treatment Requested Cabaret (all costs to be borne by Kite) if Cabaret is the party with legal standing, and (b) Cabaret shall make all reasonable efforts to enable Kite to bring such enforcement action in the name of any Licensor that is the party with legal standing. If Kite does not, within […***…] of receipt of notice from Cabaret, xxxxx the infringement or file suit to enforce the Licensed Patent Rights against at least one infringing party, Cabaret shall have the right to take whatever action it deems appropriate to enforce the Licensed Patent Rights; provided, however, that, within […***…] after receipt of notice of Cabaret’s intent to file such suit, Kite shall have the right to jointly prosecute such suit and to fund up to […***…] the costs of such suit. The party controlling any such enforcement action shall not settle the action or otherwise consent to an adverse judgment in such action that diminishes the rights or interests of the non-controlling party without the prior written consent of the other party. All monies recovered upon the final judgment or settlement of any such suit to enforce the Licensed Patent Rights shall be used (a) first, to reimburse the costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) of Kite and Cabaret; and (b) second, (i) if Cabaret is the controlling party in such action, any remaining recovery shall be divided equally between Kite and Cabaret, or (ii) if the controlling party is Kite, any remaining recovery shall be divided between Kite and Cabaret in shares that reflect the damages incurred by each party to reflect the applicable royalty to Cabaret hereunder for lost sales, and the lost profits (net of such royalties) to Kite for lost sales , provided that in any case the amount paid to Cabaret shall not be less than the applicable royalty rate if such recovery was received as Net Sales.
