Licensed Intellectual Property Section 3.17(h)(vi)...................................29
Patents and Intellectual Property Rights Recipients are subject to the Xxxx-Xxxx Act, 35 U.S.C. § 200 et seq, unless otherwise provided by law. Recipients are subject to the specific requirements governing the development, reporting, and disposition of rights to inventions and patents resulting from federal financial assistance awards located at 37 C.F.R. Part 401 and the standard patent rights clause located at 37 C.F.R. § 401.14.
Enforcement of Intellectual Property Rights I will cooperate fully with the Company, both during and after my employment with the Company, with respect to the procurement, maintenance and enforcement of Intellectual Property Rights in Company-Related Developments. I will sign, both during and after the term of this Agreement, all papers, including without limitation copyright applications, patent applications, declarations, oaths, assignments of priority rights, and powers of attorney, which the Company may deem necessary or desirable in order to protect its rights and interests in any Company-Related Development. If the Company is unable, after reasonable effort, to secure my signature on any such papers, I hereby irrevocably designate and appoint each officer of the Company as my agent and attorney-in-fact to execute any such papers on my behalf, and to take any and all actions as the Company may deem necessary or desirable in order to protect its rights and interests in any Company-Related Development.
Background Intellectual Property It is possible that one or both Parties may possess rights in background intellectual property, that is, intellectual property not otherwise subject to this Agreement, which would be useful or essential to the practice or commercialization of the results of this Agreement. For example, the RI might own a patent which would be infringed by the SBC when it attempted to commercialize the results of this Agreement unless a license was obtained from the RI. Where the Parties determine that background technology may exist, consideration should be given to negotiating license rights which will allow the practice and commercialization of the results of this Agreement.
Intellectual Property Licenses Except as set forth in Section 4.5 of the Company Disclosure Letter, the Company possesses adequate Intellectual Property to continue to conduct its business as heretofore conducted by it or as projected to be conducted in the Operating Plan, and all Intellectual Property existing on the date hereof, together with in the case of patents and Trademarks, the date of issuance thereof, is listed in Section 4.14 of the Company Disclosure Letter. With respect to Intellectual Property of the Company unless such Intellectual Property has become obsolete or is no longer used or useful in the conduct of the business of the Company:
(a) it is valid and enforceable, is subsisting, and has not been adjudged invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part;
(b) the Company has made all necessary filings and recordations to protect its interest therein, including, without limitation, recordations of all of its interest in its Patent Property and Trademark Property in the United States Patent and Trademark Office and, to the extent necessary for the conduct of the Company's business, in corresponding offices throughout the world;
(c) except as set forth in Section 4.5 of the Company Disclosure Letter, the Company is the exclusive owner of the entire and unencumbered right, title and interest in and to such Intellectual Property owned by it and no claim has been made that the use of any of its owned Intellectual Property does or may violate the asserted rights of any third party; and
(d) the Company has performed, and the Company will continue to perform, all acts, and the Company has paid and will continue to pay, all required fees and taxes, to maintain each and every item of such Intellectual Property in full force and effect throughout the world, as applicable. The Company owns directly or is entitled to use, by license or otherwise, all patents, Trademarks, copyrights, mask works, licenses, technology, know-how, processes and rights with respect to any of the foregoing used in, necessary for or of importance to the conduct of the Company's business.

20.2 Except at otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no license under patents, copyrights or any other Intellectual Property right (other than the limited license to use consistent with the terms, conditions and restrictions of this Agreement) is granted by either Party or shall be implied or arise by estoppel with respect to any transactions contemplated under this Agreement.

Assignment of Intellectual Property Rights (a) Executive hereby assigns to Nucor Corporation Executive’s entire right, title and interest, including copyrights and patents, in any idea, invention, design of a useful article (whether the design is ornamental or otherwise), work product and any other work of authorship (collectively the “Developments”), made or conceived solely or jointly by Executive at any time during Executive’s employment by Nucor (whether prior or subsequent to the execution of this Agreement), or created wholly or in part by Executive, whether or not such Developments are patentable, copyrightable or susceptible to other forms of protection, where the Developments: (i) were developed, invented, or conceived within the scope of Executive’s employment with Nucor; (ii) relate to Nucor’s actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development; or (iii) result from any work performed by Executive on Nucor’s behalf. Executive shall disclose any Developments to Nucor’s management within 30 days following Executive’s development, making or conception thereof.
(b) The assignment requirement in Section 15(a) shall not apply to an invention that Executive developed entirely on Executive’s own time without using Nucor’s equipment, supplies, facilities or Secret Information or Confidential Information except for those inventions that (i) relate to Nucor’s business or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development, or (ii) result from any work performed by Executive for Nucor.
(c) Executive will, within 3 business days following Nucor’s request, execute a specific assignment of title to any Developments to Nucor Corporation or its designee, and do anything else reasonably necessary to enable Nucor Corporation or its designee to secure a patent, copyright, or other form of protection for any Developments in the United States and in any other applicable country.
(d) Nothing in this Section 15 is intended to waive, or shall be construed as waiving, any assignment of any Developments to Nucor implied by law.
Registration of Intellectual Property Rights (a) Each Borrower shall register or cause to be registered on an expedited basis (to the extent not already registered) with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office, as applicable: (i) those Copyrights listed on Exhibit A to the Intellectual Property Security Agreement identified by Lender as material and those intellectual property rights listed on Exhibits B and C to the Intellectual Property Security Agreement delivered to Lender by each Borrower in connection with this Agreement, within thirty (30) days of the date of this Agreement, (ii) all registrable Trademarks and Patents any Borrower has developed as of the date of this Agreement which are material to any Borrower's business as currently operated and as contemplated to be operated and which have not yet been registered and all Copyrights reasonably identified by Lender as material Copyrights and which have not yet been registered, in each case within thirty (30) days of the date of this Agreement; provided, however, that in the event Lender identifies any Patent, Trademark or Copyright as material after the date of this Agreement, Borrower shall have thirty (30) days from the date of such determination to cause such Patents, Trademarks or Copyrights to be registered on an expedited basis, and (iii) those additional intellectual property rights developed or acquired by any Borrower from time to time in connection with any product or service and reasonably deemed material by Lender, prior to the sale or licensing of such product or the rendering of such service to any third party, and prior to any Borrower's use of such product (including without limitation major revisions or additions to the intellectual property rights listed on such Exhibits A, B and C). Borrowers shall give Agent written notice of all such applications or registrations within five (5) days thereof.
(b) In connection with Borrower's obligations hereunder, Borrowers shall execute and deliver such additional instruments and documents from time to time as Lender shall reasonably request to perfect Lender's security interest in the Intellectual Property Collateral.
(c) Borrowers shall (i) protect, defend and maintain the validity and enforceability of the Trademarks, Patents and Copyrights unless Borrowers have obtained the prior written consent of Lender that no such action is necessary, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that no breach of this Section 6.9(c)(i) shall be deemed to have occurred for failure by Borrower to take appropriate action to so protect, defend and maintain the validity and enforceability of the Trademarks, Patents and Copyrights if Borrowers have provided written notice of the need to take such measures to Agent promptly following any Borrower's learning of the same and Lender fails to respond to such request for consent on a timely basis, it being understood that the timeliness of Lender's response will depend on Agent having sufficiently timely notice from Borrower, (ii) use their best efforts to detect infringements of the Patents and use their best efforts to detect infringements of the Trademarks and Copyrights where any such infringement of any Trademark or Copyright, whether individually or in the aggregate, could be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and promptly advise Lender in writing of infringements detected and (iii) not allow any Trademarks, Patents or Copyrights to be abandoned, forfeited or dedicated to the public without the written consent of Lender, which shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that no breach of this Section 6.9(c)(iii) shall be deemed to have occurred if Borrowers have provided at least sixty (60) days prior written notice to Agent of the need to take action so as to avoid any such abandonment, forfeiture or dedication to the public and Lender fails to respond to such request for consent on a timely basis, it being understood that the timeliness of Lender's response will depend on Agent having sufficiently timely notice from Borrower.
(d) Subject to attorney-client privilege, Agent may audit Borrowers' Intellectual Property Collateral to confirm compliance with this Section, provided that Borrowers shall not be obligated to provide any information that could reasonably be expected to interfere with or impair its position in the pending litigation between Borrowers and Lender. Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to take, at Borrowers' sole expense, any actions that Borrowers are required under this Section to take but which any Borrower fails to take, after fifteen (15) days' notice to Borrowers. Borrowers shall reimburse and indemnify Lender for all reasonable costs and reasonable expenses incurred in the reasonable exercise of its rights under this Section.
