Infringement 14.01 LICENSEE shall immediately notify LICENSOR of any unauthorized use and/or suspected infringement of the INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. Such notification shall include, without limitation, immediately forwarding to LICENSOR any and all documents relating to any such unauthorized use or suspected infringement and providing LICENSOR with any and all facts and circumstances relating to such unauthorized use or suspected infringement. 14.02 LICENSOR shall have the primary, and in the first instance sole, right to institute a suit for infringement, unfair competition or other action with respect to any unauthorized use or suspected infringement. LICENSOR shall have the sole discretion to determine how to handle or otherwise deal with any infringement or unauthorized use of the INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, including the right to settle or otherwise compromise any dispute or suit, and shall promptly notify LICENSEE of its decision. LICENSOR shall have no duty to initiate such litigation if, in its sole judgment, such litigation is not warranted or is not in its best interests. 14.03 LICENSEE may join and be represented in, at its own expense by its own counsel, any proceeding relating to any unauthorized use or suspected infringement to prove its own interests. 14.04 LICENSEE agrees that it shall, at all times, reasonably cooperate with LICENSOR and its counsel, in all respects, with respect to any unauthorized use or suspected or alleged infringement at LICENSOR's expense, including, but not limited to, having LICENSEE's principals, directors, employees, officers and/or agents testify, and making available any records, papers, information, specimens and the like when requested by LICENSOR. 14.05 Any damages and/or recovery received pursuant to such litigation or settlement or compromise shall be the sole and exclusive property of LICENSOR. 14.06 If LICENSOR decides, in its discretion, not to take any action with respect to an unauthorized use or suspected infringement, then LICENSEE may, at its own option and sole expense, take such action on its own behalf as it deems appropriate and any damages, recovery, settlement or compromise obtained thereby shall be for the account of LICENSEE.
Third Party Infringement (a) Each Party shall promptly report in writing to the other Party during the Term any known or suspected infringement of the Patent Application (“Infringement”). The reporting Party shall provide the other Party with all available evidence supporting such infringement, suspected infringement, unauthorized use or suspected unauthorized use. Promptly after receipt of a notice of Infringement, the Parties shall discuss in good faith the infringement and appropriate actions that could be taken to cause such infringement to cease. (b) Kadmon shall have the first right to initiate a suit or take other appropriate action that it believes is reasonably required to protect the Patent Application in the United States against any Infringement. If Kadmon decides not to initiate a suit or take other appropriate action with respect to any such Infringement in the United States, then AbbVie may undertake such actions, in which case Kadmon shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, cooperate with AbbVie in its efforts to initiate a suit or take other appropriate action with respect to any Infringement in the United States, and shall agree to be parties in any suit, if requested. (c) Without regard to which Party initiates a suit or takes other appropriate action with respect to any Infringement in the Territory under Section 8.15.3(b), all costs (including all reasonable costs and expenses associated with any defense of a claim hereunder) associated with any such action in the United States, and any costs and expenses incurred by any Party or its Affiliates with respect to any Infringement shall be the sole responsibility of the Party initiating the action. Any proceeds from such actions shall be allocated between the Parties first to compensate each Party on a pro rata basis for amounts it incurred in pursuing such actions and second to the Party instituting the action. (d) The enforcing Party under Section 8.15.3(b) shall have the sole and exclusive right to select counsel for any suit initiated by it. If required under Applicable Law in order for such enforcing Party to initiate and/or maintain such suit or action, the other Party shall join as a party to the suit or action. Such other Party shall offer reasonable assistance to such enforcing Party in connection therewith at such enforcing Party’s cost and expense.
Claim of Infringement In the event that use of any facilities or equipment (including software), becomes, or in the reasonable judgment of the Party who owns the affected network is likely to become, the subject of a claim, action, suit, or proceeding based on intellectual property infringement, then said Party shall promptly and at its sole expense and sole option, but subject to the limitations of liability set forth below: 9.4.1 modify or replace the applicable facilities or equipment (including software) while maintaining form and function, or 9.4.2 obtain a license sufficient to allow such use to continue. 9.4.3 In the event 9.4.1 or 9.4.2 are commercially unreasonable, then said Party may, terminate, upon reasonable notice, this contract with respect to use of, or services provided through use of, the affected facilities or equipment (including software), but solely to the extent required to avoid the infringement claim.
