For those countries where a specific license is required for a joint owner of a Jointly Owned Invention to practice such Jointly Owned Invention in such countries, (i) Ideaya hereby grants to Pfizer a perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid-up license, transferable and sublicensable, under Ideaya’s right, title and interest in and to all Jointly Owned Inventions to use such Inventions for the Permitted Use and any other use expressly permitted by this Agreement, and (ii) Pfizer hereby grants to Ideaya a perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid-up license, transferable and sublicensable, under Pfizer’s right, title and interest in and to all Jointly Owned Inventions to use such Inventions for the Permitted Use and any other use expressly permitted by this Agreement. For clarity, the terms of this Agreement do not provide Pfizer or Ideaya with any rights, title or interest or any license to the other Party’s background intellectual property except as necessary to conduct the Study and as expressly set forth in Section 10.4. Each Party shall have the right to freely exploit each Jointly Owned Invention, both within and outside the scope of the Study, without accounting to or any other obligation to the other Party, and each Party may grant licenses (with a right to sublicense) to Third Parties under such Party’s interest in each Jointly Owned Invention. 11.1.2 Promptly following the Effective Date, patent representatives of each of the Parties shall meet (in person or by telephone) to discuss the patenting strategy for any Jointly Owned Inventions which may arise. In particular, the Parties shall discuss which Party will file a patent application (including any provisional, substitution, divisional, continuation, continuation in part, reissue, renewal, reexamination, extension, supplementary protection certificate and the like) in respect of any Jointly Owned Invention (each, a “Joint Patent Application”) and whether the Parties wish to appoint [***] Certain information in this document has been excluded pursuant to Regulation S-K, Item 601(b)(10).

In the event that one Party (the “Filing Party”) wishes to file a patent application for a Jointly Owned Invention and the other Party (the “Non-filing Party”) does not want to file any patent application for such Jointly Owned Invention or does not want to file in a particular country, the Non-filing Party shall execute such documents and perform such acts at the Filing Party’s expense as may be reasonably necessary to effect an assignment of such Jointly Owned Invention to the Filing Party (in such country or all countries, as applicable) in a timely manner to allow the Filing Party to prosecute such patent application. Likewise, if a Party (the “Opting-out Party”) wishes to discontinue the prosecution and maintenance of a Joint Patent Application, the other Party, at its sole option (the “Continuing Party”), may continue such prosecution and maintenance. In such event, the Opting-out Party shall execute such documents and perform such acts at the Continuing Party’s expense as may be reasonably necessary to effect an assignment of such Joint Patent Application to the Continuing Party (in such country or all countries, as applicable) in a timely manner to allow the Continuing Party to prosecute and maintain such patent application. Any Joint Patent Application or Jointly Owned Invention so assigned shall thereafter be owned solely by the Continuing Party or Filing Party (as applicable), and the Opting-out Party or Non-filing Party (as applicable) shall have no right to practice under such Joint Patent Application or any patent claiming such Jointly Owned Invention in the applicable country or countries and, for the avoidance of doubt, any such patent, when issued, shall not be a Joint Patent. The Filing Party or Continuing Party (as applicable) hereby grants to the Opting-out Party or Non-Filing Party (as applicable) a perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, royalty-free fully paid-up license under such solely owned patent applications and patents to practice any Invention claimed therein solely for the purposes of developing and commercializing its respective Compound for use in the Combination, which license shall not be transferable or sublicensable to any Third Party except to (A) Affiliates of the Opting-out Party or Non-Filing Party (as applicable) and (B) Third Parties engaged in developing, manufacturing or marketing that Party’s Compound for or on behalf of that Party or its Affiliates. 11.1.3 Except as expressly provided in Section 3.7, 9.1, 10.1.2, 10.2 or 10.3 and in furtherance and not in limitation of Section 9.1, each Party agrees to make no patent application based on the other Party’s Confidential Information, and to give no assistance to any Third Party for such application, without the other Party’s prior written authorization. 11.1.4 Pfizer shall have the first right to initiate legal action to enforce all Joint Patents against infringement, and to protect all Jointly Owned Inventions from misappropriation, by any Third Party where such infringement or misappropriation results from the development or sale of a ALK Inhibitor or to defend any declaratory judgment action relating thereto, at its sole expense. In the event that Pfizer fails to initiate or defend such action within [***] days after being first notified of such infringement or misappropriation, Ideaya shall have the right to do so at its sole expense. Similarly, Ideaya shall have the first right to initiate legal action to enforce all Joint Patents against [***] Certain information in this document has been excluded pursuant to Regulation S-K, Item 601(b)(10).

In the event that legal action to enforce Joint Patents will involve infringement or misappropriation resulting from the development or sale of a molecule or molecules that is/are or include(s) both a ALK Inhibitor and a PKC Inhibitor, the Parties shall work together to coordinate such action and shall, unless one Party elects not to pursue such legal action, share the costs and expenses of such litigation equally. For clarity, if the alleged infringer is selling or intending to sell only one of either a ALK Inhibitor or a PKC Inhibitor, then the foregoing obligation to share the costs and expenses of such litigation shall not apply. 11.1.5 If one Party brings any prosecution or enforcement action or proceeding against a Third Party with respect to any Joint Patent, the second Party agrees to be joined as a party plaintiff where necessary and to give the first Party reasonable assistance and authority to file and prosecute the suit. The costs and expenses of the Party bringing suit under this Section 10.1.5 shall be borne by such Party, and any damages or other monetary awards recovered shall be shared as follows: (i) the amount of such recovery actually received by the Party controlling such action shall be first applied to the out-of-pocket costs of each Party in connection with such action; and then (ii) any remaining proceeds shall be divided evenly between Pfizer and Ideaya. A settlement or consent judgment or other voluntary final disposition of a suit under this Section 10.1.5 may not be entered into without the consent of the Party not bringing the suit.

Each Party shall have the right to freely exploit each Jointly Owned Invention, both within and outside the scope of the Study, without accounting to or any other obligation to the other Party, and each Party may grant licenses (with a right to sublicense) to Third Parties under such Party’s interest in each Jointly Owned Invention. 11.1.2 10.1.2 Promptly following the Effective Date, patent representatives of each of the Parties shall meet (in person or by telephone) to discuss the patenting strategy for any Jointly Owned Inventions which may arise.
