Related to OWNERSHIP, PATENTS AND INFRINGEMENT

• 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 Notwithstanding the foregoing, Siebel shall have no liability for any claim of infringement based on (a) the use of a superseded or altered release of Licensed Software if the infringement would have been avoided by the use of a current unaltered release of the Licensed Software, which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.

• Patent Rights The State and the U. S. Department of Transportation shall have the royalty free, nonexclusive and irrevocable right to use and to authorize others to use any patents developed by the Engineer under this contract.

• Intellectual Property Rights Infringement HP will defend and/or settle any claims against Customer that allege that an HP-branded product or service as supplied under this Agreement infringes the intellectual property rights of a third party. HP will rely on Customer’s prompt notification of the claim and cooperation with our defense. HP may modify the product or service so as to be non-infringing and materially equivalent, or we may procure a license. If these options are not available, we will refund to Customer the amount paid for the affected product in the first year or the depreciated value thereafter or, for support services, the balance of any pre-paid amount or, for professional services, the amount paid. HP is not responsible for claims resulting from any unauthorized use of the products or services.

• Infringement (a) For Xxxxxx Products, only, and subject to the limitations of liability stated in Section 13, Xxxxxx agrees to: (1) defend any suit or proceeding against Customer, insofar as it is based on a claim or action by third parties alleging that a Xxxxxx Product delivered to Customer directly infringes a U.S. trademark, copyright, mask works right or patent of a third party, and (2) pay all damages and costs, including legal fees, which may be assessed against Customer in such action that are attributable to such claim; provided, however, that Customer shall give Xxxxxx prompt notice, in writing, of all such claims or actions instituted against it, and an opportunity to elect to take over, settle or defend the same through counsel of Xxxxxx’ own choice and under Xxxxxx’ sole discretion and at Xxxxxx’ own expense, and will make available to Xxxxxx in the event of such election, all defenses against such claims or actions, known or available to Customer. If a Xxxxxx Product become (or in Xxxxxx’ reasonable opinion is likely to become) the subject of any such action or claim, Xxxxxx shall, at its option and expense, pursue one or more of the following options: (i) Procure for Customer the right to continue using such Xxxxxx Product; or (ii) Replace or modify such Xxxxxx Product so that it becomes non-infringing while providing equivalent performance; or (iii) Grant a refund for the payments made by Customer to Xxxxxx for all units of such Xxxxxx Product then in Customer’s possession (upon Xxxxxx’ receipt of such units within ninety (90) days after notifying Customer of the granting of such refund), and terminate this Agreement with respect to such Xxxxxx Product. Notwithstanding the above, Xxxxxx shall not be obligated to indemnify or hold harmless Customer if the alleged infringement arises out of : (1) any combination of Xxxxxx Products with products not supplied or approved in writing by Xxxxxx, where such infringement would not have occurred but for such combination; (2) the modification or customization of Xxxxxx Products not performed by Xxxxxx, where such infringement would not have occurred but for such modification or customization; (3) the use of a Xxxxxx Product in an application for which it was not designed or intended, where such infringement would not have occurred but for such use; (4) a claim based on intellectual property rights owned by Customer or any of companies controlled by, controlling or under common control with Customer; or (5) where the Xxxxxx Products were designed by Xxxxxx to Customer’s specification. Contributory infringement is specifically excluded from this indemnity. (a) states Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy in the event that a Xxxxxx Product infringes on the intellectual property right of any third party. (b) In the event a claim is based partially on an indemnified claim described in Article 11(a) above and partially on a non-indemnified claim , any payments and reasonable attorney fees incurred in connection with such claims are to be apportioned between the parties in accordance with the degree of cause attributable to each party. (c) Obligations related to Third Party Products are expressly excluded from Xxxxxx’ obligations to Customer under this Section 11.

• Licensed Patents 9.1.1 Oculis shall be responsible for and shall have the exclusive right with respect to, the preparation, filing, prosecution, protection, maintenance and enforcement of all Patent Rights in respect of the Licensed Technology in its discretion using its patent counsel. Oculis shall consult with Accure with respect thereto, supply Accure with a copy of the application as filed, together with notice of its filing date and serial number; and keep Accure advised of the status of actual and prospective Patent Right filings, including office actions, and keep Accure informed about and provide copies of all the relevant information exchanged between Oculis and the different Industrial or Intellectual Property Registration Offices regarding the prosecution, maintenance, defense and enforcement of the Licensed Patents. The cost and expense of filing, prosecuting, maintaining and enforcing all Licensed Patents shall be borne by Oculis. Accure shall, and hereby procures its personnel will, provide all requested information and perform all acts reasonably requested by Oculis in connection with the prosecution, maintenance, defense or enforcement of the Licensed Technology. Without limiting the foregoing, Accure and its Affiliates may not file for further Patent Rights relating to Licensed Technology. 9.1.2 Should Oculis not be interested in the prosecution, defense and maintenance of any or all of the Licensed Patents, and/or Xxxxxx decides not to pay all reasonable and necessary expenses with respect to the prosecution, defense or maintenance of any Licensed Patent before any upcoming deadline, Oculis shall give reasonable advance notice to Accure (no less than [***]), and subsequent to such notice Accure shall act as it deems appropriate in connection with the prosecution, defense and maintenance of the Licensed Patents at their discretion and at their own cost. As from such notification, Oculis shall not be responsible for costs associated with such Licensed Patents, and, where such notification is provided following such time as Xxxxxx assumes responsible for performing patenting matters as set forth above, Oculis shall not be responsible for the preparation, filing, prosecution, protection and maintenance of the mentioned Licensed Patents and such Patent Rights shall cease to be Licensed Patents and the provisions of Agreement shall be of no further effect with respect to such patent and/or country of the Territory.

• Copyright Infringement Contractor shall also indemnify, defend and hold harmless all Indemnitees from all suits or claims for infringement of the patent rights, copyright, trade secret, trade name, trademark, service xxxx, or any other proprietary right of any person or persons in consequence of the use by the City, or any of its boards, commissions, officers, or employees of articles, work or deliverables supplied in the performance of Services. Infringement of patent rights, copyrights, or other proprietary rights in the performance of this Agreement, if not the basis for indemnification under the law, shall nevertheless be considered a material breach of contract.

• Patent Infringement (a) If LICENSEE learns of any substantial infringement of Patent Rights, LICENSEE shall so inform UNIVERSITY and provide UNIVERSITY with reasonable evidence of the infringement. Neither party shall notify a third party of the infringement of Patent Rights without the consent of the other party. Both parties shall use reasonable efforts and cooperation to terminate infringement without litigation. (b) LICENSEE may request UNIVERSITY to take legal action against such third party for the infringement of Patent Rights. Such request shall be made in writing and shall include reasonable evidence of such infringement and damages to LICENSEE. If the infringing activity has not abated ninety (90) days following LICENSEE’s request, UNIVERSITY shall elect to or not to commence suit on its own account. UNIVERSITY shall give notice of its election in writing to LICENSEE by the end of the one-hundredth (100th) day after receiving notice of such request from LICENSEE. LICENSEE may thereafter bring suit for patent infringement in its own name (and in the name of UNIVERSITY if necessary) and at its own expense, if and only if UNIVERSITY elects not to commence suit and the infringement occurred in a jurisdiction where LICENSEE has an exclusive license under this Agreement. If LICENSEE elects to bring suit, UNIVERSITY may join that suit at its own expense. (c) Recoveries from actions brought pursuant to Paragraph 5.2(b) shall belong to the party bringing suit except that in the event that LICENSEE brings suit for infringement of Patent Rights and an acceptable settlement is entered into or monetary damages are awarded in a final non-appealable judgment, UNIVERSITY shall be reimbursed for any amount which would have been due to UNIVERSITY under this Agreement if the products sold by the infringer actually had been sold by LICENSEE. Legal actions brought jointly by UNIVERSITY and LICENSEE and fully participated in by both shall be at the joint expense of the parties and all recoveries shall be shared jointly by them in proportion to the share of expense paid by each party. (d) Each party shall cooperate with the other in litigation proceedings at the expense of the party bringing suit. Litigation shall be controlled by the party bringing the suit, except that UNIVERSITY may choose to be represented by counsel of its choice (at its expense) in any suit brought by LICENSEE.

• Joint Patent Rights If not already established under the Research Collaboration Agreement, prior to either Party filing any Patent Right disclosing Joint Program Technology or Joint Probody Platform Improvements, the Parties shall establish a patent committee (the “Patent Committee”) comprised of at least one (1) representative of each Party for the purpose of facilitating the preparation, filing, prosecution, maintenance and defense of Joint Patent Rights. As agreed upon by the Parties, meetings of the Patent Committee may be face-to-face or may be conducted by teleconferences or videoconferences, from time to time as needed. The Patent Committee will be the forum through which the Parties coordinate their respective obligations to each other described in Sections 5.2.2 and 5.2.3 hereof and in this Section. In the event the Parties conceive or generate any Joint Program Technology or Joint Probody Platform Improvements, the Parties shall promptly meet to discuss and determine, based on mutual consent, whether to seek patent protection thereon, which Party will control filing, prosecution and maintenance of such patents and how to pay for the filing, prosecution and maintenance of such patents. It is presumed that ImmunoGen will control filing, prosecution and maintenance of Joint Patent Rights claiming Joint Program Technology or Joint Conjugation Probody Platform Improvements, and that CytomX will control filing, prosecution and maintenance of Joint Patent Rights claiming Joint Unconjugated Probody Platform Improvements. Neither Party will file any Joint Patent Right without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Party controlling filing and prosecution of any such Joint Patent Right (a) shall keep the other Party informed regarding each Patent Right, (b) shall consider in good faith any recommendations made by the other Party in regard to the filing, prosecution or maintenance of any such Patent Right and (c) shall not unreasonably refuse to incorporate any recommendations made by the other Party in regard to such filing, prosecution or maintenance.

• Claimed Infringement Each Party will promptly notify the other Party if a Third Party brings any Action alleging patent infringement by Lian or Landos or any of their respective Affiliates or Sublicensees with respect to the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of any Licensed Product or Joint Patent Rights (any such Action, an “Infringement Claim”) in the Territory. Lian will have the right, but not the obligation, to control the defense and response to any such Infringement Claim in the Territory with respect to Lian’s activities, at Lian’s sole cost and expense, and Landos will have the right, at its own expense, to be represented in any such Infringement Claim in the Territory by counsel of its own choice. Landos will have the sole right, but not the obligation, to control the defense and response to any such Infringement Claim with respect to Landos’ activities, including any such Infringement Claim in the Territory or outside of the Territory. Upon the request of the Party controlling the response to the Infringement Claim, the other Party will reasonably cooperate with the controlling Party in the reasonable defense of such Infringement Claim. The other Party will have the right to consult with the controlling Party concerning any Infringement Claim and to participate in and be represented by independent counsel in any associated litigation. If the Infringement Claim is brought against both Parties, then each Party will have the right to defend against the Infringement Claim. The Party defending an Infringement Claim under this Section 7.4 (Claimed Infringement) will (a) consult with the other Party as to the strategy for the prosecution of such defense, (b) consider in good faith any comments from the other Party with respect thereto and (c) keep the other Party reasonably informed of any material steps taken and provide copies of all material documents filed, in connection with such defense. The Party controlling the defense against an Infringement Claim will have the right to settle such Infringement Claim on terms deemed reasonably appropriate by such Party, provided, that, neither Party will have the right to settle any Infringement Claim under this Section 7.4 (Claimed Infringement) in a manner that diminishes the rights or interests of the other Party under this Agreement without the consent of such other Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.
