Patent and Trademark Disputes Notwithstanding Section 16.2, any dispute, controversy or claim relating to the inventorship, scope, validity, enforceability or infringement of any Patents or Marks Covering the manufacture, use, importation, offer for sale or sale of Products shall be submitted to a court of competent jurisdiction in the country in which such patent or trademark rights were granted or arose.
Copyrights, Patents and Trademarks (i) To the best of each Obligor’s knowledge, each Copyright, Patent and Trademark of such Obligor is valid, subsisting, unexpired, enforceable and has not been abandoned.
INFRINGEMENT AND PATENT ENFORCEMENT 11.1 PHS and Licensee agree to notify each other promptly of each infringement or possible infringement of the Licensed Patent Rights, as well as, any facts which may affect the validity, scope, or enforceability of the Licensed Patent Rights of which either party becomes aware.
Patents and Trademarks The Company and the Subsidiaries have, or have rights to use, all patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark applications, service marks, trade names, trade secrets, inventions, copyrights, licenses and other intellectual property rights and similar rights necessary or material for use in connection with their respective businesses as described in the SEC Reports and which the failure to so have could have a Material Adverse Effect (collectively, the “Intellectual Property Rights”). Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received a notice (written or otherwise) that any of the Intellectual Property Rights used by the Company or any Subsidiary violates or infringes upon the rights of any Person. To the knowledge of the Company, all such Intellectual Property Rights are enforceable and there is no existing infringement by another Person of any of the Intellectual Property Rights. The Company and its Subsidiaries have taken reasonable security measures to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value of all of their intellectual properties, except where failure to do so could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

For purposes of this Section 6.3, the Party prosecuting any Infringement pursuant to the foregoing sentence with respect to a Patent shall be the “Enforcing Party.” In the event MedImmune prosecutes any such Infringement in the Field in the Territory, Licensee shall have the right to join as a party to such claim, suit or proceeding and participate with its own counsel at its sole cost and expense; provided that MedImmune shall retain control of the prosecution of such claim, suit or proceeding, including the response to any defense or defense of any counterclaim raised in connection therewith.
