Sublicenses Merck shall have the right to sublicense ([…***…]) any or all of the licenses granted to Merck hereunder, including in connection with the performance of tasks and obligations with respect to the Research, Development and Commercialization of Program Nanobody(ies), Compound(s) and Product(s) as Merck deems appropriate and without the prior written consent of Ablynx. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such sublicense granted to a Third Party that encompasses material Commercialization of Program Nanobody(ies), Compound(s) and Product(s) for the U.S. or any Primary Country shall require prior written notification to Ablynx. Merck shall be responsible for ensuring that the performance by any of its sublicensees hereunder that are exercising rights under a sublicense hereunder is in accordance with the applicable terms of this Agreement (to the extent applicable to sublicensees), and the grant of any such sublicense shall not relieve Merck of its obligations under this Agreement (except to the extent they are performed by any such sublicensee(s) in accordance with this Agreement). In all cases, the rights granted to any sublicensee shall be subject and subordinate to the applicable terms and conditions of this Agreement. Where a sublicensee of Merck that is not an Affiliate is to perform any Research Program activities during the Research Program Term for the applicable Research Program, the grant of such a sublicense shall require the prior written consent of Ablynx (not to be unreasonably withheld), and Merck shall oversee the performance by such sublicensee of the relevant activities by the sublicensee in a manner that would be reasonably expected to result in their timely and successful completion of such activities in accordance with this Agreement, and Merck shall remain responsible and primarily and fully liable for the performance of such activities in accordance with this Agreement. Merck hereby expressly waives any requirement that Ablynx exhaust any right, power or remedy, or proceed against such sublicensee for any obligation or performance hereunder, prior to proceeding directly against Merck with respect to the sublicense. Merck shall ensure compliance with the applicable terms of this Agreement (to the extent applicable to sublicensees) by its sublicensee, including with respect to provisions on confidentiality, intellectual property ownership and compliance with Applicable Laws. Without limiting the foregoing, to the extent that Merck grants a sublicense so as to enable said sublicensee to perform Research Program activities, Merck shall ensure that its sublicensee is obligated to assign rights to any Program Know-How made by such Third Party sublicensee so that such rights can be conveyed in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including Section 7.1.
Research Licenses (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Party hereby grants to the other Party and its Affiliates, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, revocable, limited license to use, during the term of this Agreement, the Independent Technology of the owner Party, solely to permit the other Party’s (by itself and/or through its Affiliates’) performance of research and development activities in connection with the execution and implementation of any Development Program under this Agreement and/or to pursue by itself, with no third Person (not including Affiliates) involvement, independent, internal research and development initiatives outside the scope of this Agreement. In the event that a Party’s and/or its Affiliates’ (“Licensor Party”) Independent Technology is used under the license granted in this Section 7.3 (a) by the other Party and/or its Affiliates (“Licensee Party”) to pursue independent research and development initiatives outside the scope of this Agreement and such initiatives result in the creation or development of any Invention and/or Technology, the Licensee Party hereby grants and agrees to grant to the Licensor Party, a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license under such Invention and/or Technology, as well as any Intellectual Property Rights derived from such Invention and/or Technology.
Assignment and Sublicensing This Licence is personal to the Licensee. The Licensee must not dispose of, deal with, transfer, novate or assign its rights as Licensee under this Licence without obtaining the School Council’s prior written consent, which consent is at the absolute discretion of the School Council, and if granted, may be granted subject to such conditions as the School Council see fit to impose.
Sublicensees Licensee shall have the full right (but not the obligation) to sublicense those rights granted to it under Section 2.1 to a Third Party (a “Sublicensee”); provided, however, that, prior to the payment of the first milestone pursuant to Section 7.2, Licensee may not grant any such sublicense to any contract research organization conducting Clinical Trials of Products or any Third Parties conducting contract Manufacturing activities without Licensee’s prior written notice (at least twenty (20) Business Days in advance) to Lilly, which shall include a description of the rights to be granted and the purpose therefor, the identity of the Third Party and the countries involved, and Lilly’s prior written consent, but such consent shall only be required (i) until such time as Licensee is the holder of record for the Regulatory Materials related to Taladegib and (ii) to the extent such organization is not performing services for Licensee as of the Effective Date; and provided further, that Licensee shall remain responsible for the performance by any of its Sublicensees. With respect to any Sublicensee granted a sublicense to any Commercialization rights hereunder, Licensee shall ensure that each of its Sublicensees accepts in writing all applicable terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the non-compete, reporting, audit, inspection and confidentiality provisions hereunder. Each Sublicensee shall also be prohibited from further sublicensing. For the avoidance of doubt, (a) Licensee will remain directly responsible for all amounts owed to Lilly under this Agreement, and (b) each Sublicensee is subject to the negative and restrictive covenants set forth in Sections 2.3.1 and 2.5, respectively. Licensee hereby expressly waives any requirement that Lilly exhaust any right, power or remedy, or proceed against a subcontractor, for any obligation or performance hereunder prior to proceeding directly against Licensee.
