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.
Joint Inventions For Subject Inventions conceived or first actually reduced to practice under this Agreement that are joint Subject Inventions made by CONTRACTOR and USER, each Party shall have the option to elect and retain title to its undivided rights in such joint Subject Inventions.
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.
Patent Rights The State and the U. S. Department of Transportation shall have the royalty free, nonexclusive and irrevocable right to use and to authorize others to use any patents developed by the Engineer under this contract.
Licensed Patent Rights The term “Licensed Patent Rights” shall mean rights arising out of or resulting from:
Research Project The findings of any research project, which would change the provisions of this Agreement will not be implemented until such changes are negotiated and agreed to by the parties.
Background Technology List here prior contracts to assign Inventions that are now in existence between any other person or entity and you.
Scope of Collaboration As part of the collaboration, the Controllers will act as Joint Controller. The roles of the Controller and the associated tasks are specified in more detail in Appendix 1. If one party is solely responsible for a data processing operation, this party will implement all relevant data protection provisions on its own responsibility. However, such data processing procedures are not subject to this Agreement. Joint data processing and the type of Personal Data collected and processed within the framework of collaboration are specified in Appendix 1.
Licensed Patents 9.1.1 Oculis shall be responsible for and shall have the exclusive right with respect to, the preparation, filing, prosecution, protection, maintenance and enforcement of all Patent Rights in respect of the Licensed Technology in its discretion using its patent counsel. Oculis shall consult with Accure with respect thereto, supply Accure with a copy of the application as filed, together with notice of its filing date and serial number; and keep Accure advised of the status of actual and prospective Patent Right filings, including office actions, and keep Accure informed about and provide copies of all the relevant information exchanged between Oculis and the different Industrial or Intellectual Property Registration Offices regarding the prosecution, maintenance, defense and enforcement of the Licensed Patents. The cost and expense of filing, prosecuting, maintaining and enforcing all Licensed Patents shall be borne by Oculis. Accure shall, and hereby procures its personnel will, provide all requested information and perform all acts reasonably requested by Oculis in connection with the prosecution, maintenance, defense or enforcement of the Licensed Technology. Without limiting the foregoing, Accure and its Affiliates may not file for further Patent Rights relating to Licensed Technology.
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.
