Intellectual Property, Inventions and Patents Executive acknowledges that all discoveries, concepts, ideas, inventions, innovations, improvements, developments, methods, designs, analyses, drawings, reports, patent applications, copyrightable work and mask work (whether or not including any confidential information) and all registrations or applications related thereto, all other proprietary information and all similar or related information (whether or not patentable) which relate to Parent’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ actual or anticipated business, research and development or existing or future products or services and which are conceived, developed or made by Executive (whether alone or jointly with others) while employed by the Company and its Subsidiaries, whether before or after the date of this Agreement (“Work Product”), belong to Parent, the Company or such Subsidiary. Executive shall promptly disclose such Work Product to the Board and, at the Company’s expense, perform all actions reasonably requested by the Board (whether during or after the Employment Period) to establish and confirm such ownership (including, without limitation, assignments, consents, powers of attorney and other instruments).
ROYALTIES, PATENTS AND COPYRIGHTS Contractor shall pay all royalties and license fees, defend suits or claims for infringement of copyrights and patent rights, and shall hold Owner harmless from loss on account thereof, but shall not be responsible for such defense or loss when a particular design, process or product of a particular manufacturer or manufacturers is required by the Contract Documents, or where the copyright violations are contained in Drawings, Specifications or other documents prepared by Owner or A/E.

Maintenance of Patents, Trademarks, Etc Each Loan Party shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain in full force and effect all patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, licenses, franchises, permits and other authorizations necessary for the ownership and operation of its properties and business if the failure so to maintain the same would constitute a Material Adverse Change.
Intellectual Property Infringement If a third party makes a claim against Customer that the Licensed Software or Documentation directly infringe any patent issued as of the two years following the Effective Date or any copyright, trade secret or trademark ("IP Claim"); Siebel will defend Customer or Distributor against the IP Claim and pay all costs, damages and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) awarded against Customer or Distributor by a court of competent jurisdiction or agreed to in a written settlement agreement signed by Siebel arising out of such IP Claim; provided that: (i) Customer or Distributor promptly notifies Siebel in writing no later than sixty (60) days after Customer's or Distributor's receipt of notification of a potential claim, (ii) Siebel may assume sole control of the defense of such claim and all related settlement negotiations; and (iii) Customer or Distributor provides Siebel, at Siebel's request and expense, with the assistance, information and authority necessary to perform Siebel's obligations under this Section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Siebel shall have no liability for any claim of infringement based on (a) the use of a superseded or altered release of Licensed Software if the infringement would have been avoided by the use of a current unaltered release of the Licensed Software, which Siebel provided to Distributor, (b) the modification of the Licensed Software, or (c) the use of the Licensed Software other than in accordance with the Documentation. If, due to an IP Claim, (i) the Licensed Software is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or are believed by Siebel to infringe, or (ii) Customer or Distributor receives a valid court order enjoining Customer or Distributor from using the Licensed Software, Siebel shall in its reasonable judgment, and at its expense, (a) replace or modify the Licensed Software to be non-infringing; (b) obtain for Distributor and/or its Customers a license to continue using the Licensed Software, or (c) if Siebel cannot reasonably obtain the remedies in (a) or (b), terminate the license for the infringing Licensed Software and refund the license fees paid to Siebel for such Licensed Software upon its return by Distributor. This Section 9 states Siebel's entire liability and Distributor's exclusive remedy for any claim of infringement.
