Patents and Patent Applications To the Company’s knowledge, all patents and patent applications owned by or licensed to the Company or under which the Company has rights have been duly and properly filed and maintained; to the knowledge of the Company, the parties prosecuting such applications have complied with their duty of candor and disclosure to the USPTO in connection with such applications; and the Company is not aware of any facts required to be disclosed to the USPTO that were not disclosed to the USPTO and which could reasonably be expected to preclude the grant of a patent in connection with any such application or could reasonably be expected to form the basis of a finding of invalidity with respect to any patents that have issued with respect to such applications.
Patent Applications It is understood by the parties that, pursuant to the Baylor Technology Transfer Agreement, MAS has the initial responsibility for filing, prosecution and maintenance of Patents and Patent Applications covering the Baylor Technology. The parties agree that, as between MAS and CTI, MAS shall be responsible for deciding whether and how to file, prosecute and maintain the Patents and Patent Applications, provided that: (a) all decisions of MAS (whether substantive or procedural) concerning whether and how to file, prosecute and/or maintain any Patents and Patent Applications shall be acceptable to CTI, such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld; (b) with respect to any action permitted under Section 5.5 of the Baylor Technology Transfer Agreement or Section 5.5 of this Agreement, MAS will use legal counsel reasonably acceptable to CTI; (c) MAS will provide CTI with (i) drafts of all filings relating to the Patents and Patent Applications and (ii) drafts of all correspondence to be sent by MAS to Baylor, the Patent and Trademark Office (the “PTO”) or any third party relating to the Patents and Patent Applications. Final versions of all such filings and correspondence shall be acceptable to CTI, such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld; (d) MAS will promptly provide CTI with copies of any notices and other correspondence received by CTI from Baylor, the PTO or any other third party relating to the Patents and Patent Applications, including, but not limited to, any notices received by MAS pursuant to Section 5.5 of the Baylor Technology Transfer Agreement; (e) MAS will, if requested by CTI, provide notice to Baylor under any of the circumstances permitting notice pursuant to Section 5.5 of the Baylor Technology Transfer Agreement; (f) MAS agrees to cooperate with CTI to whatever extent is reasonably necessary to procure patent protection of any rights regarding the Licensed Technology and agrees to execute any and all documents to give CTI the full benefit of the sublicenses and licenses granted herein; (g) MAS represents and warrants that, as of the Effective Date, it has not received any notices from Baylor pursuant to Section 5.5(c) or Section 5.5(d) of the Baylor Technology Transfer Agreement. In the event MAS receives any notices from Baylor pursuant to Section 5.5(c) or Section 5.5(d) of the Baylor Technology Transfer Agreement after the Effective Date. MAS will provide a copy of such notice to CTI within five (5) business days of receipt of such notice by MAS. MAS will then take all actions requested by CTI to allow CTI to retain its rights granted under this Agreement, including, but not limited to, promptly notifying Baylor in the event CTI wishes MAS to proceed with any actions in connection with the Patents or Patent Applications.
Patent and Copyright Registration The Executive agrees to execute and deliver any instruments or documents and to do all other things reasonably requested by the Company in order to more fully vest the Company with all ownership rights in the Work Product. If any Work Product is deemed by the Company to be patentable or otherwise registrable, the Executive shall assist the Company (at the Company’s expense) in obtaining letters of patent or other applicable registration therein and shall execute all documents and do all things, including testifying (at the Company’s expense) as necessary or appropriate to apply for, prosecute, obtain, or enforce any Intellectual Property right relating to any Work Product. Should the Company be unable to secure the Executive’s signature on any document deemed necessary to accomplish the foregoing, whether due to the Executive’s disability or other reason, the Executive hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and each of its duly authorized officers and agents as the Executive’s agent and attorney-in-fact to act for and on the Executive’s behalf and stead to take any of the actions required of Executive under the previous sentence, with the same effect as if executed and delivered by the Executive, such appointment being coupled with an interest. This Section 9 shall survive the termination of the Agreement for any reason. In the event the Executive breaches this Section 9, the Company shall have right to seek remedies permissible under applicable law.
PATENT, TRADEMARK AND COPYRIGHT INDEMNITY Seller will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer and its customer from all claims, suits, actions, awards (including, but not limited to, awards based on intentional infringement of patents known at the time of such infringement, exceeding actual damages and/or including attorneys' fees and/or costs), liabilities, damages, costs and attorneys' fees related to the actual or alleged infringement of any United States or foreign intellectual property right (including, but not limited to, any right in a patent, copyright, industrial design or semiconductor mask work, or based on misappropriation or wrongful use of information or documents) and arising out of the manufacture, sale or use of products by either Buyer or its customer. Buyer and/or its customer will duly notify Seller of any such claim, suit or action; and Seller will, at its own expense, fully defend such claim, suit or action on behalf of indemnitees. Seller will have no obligation under this article with regard to any infringement arising from (a) Seller's compliance with formal specifications issued by Buyer where infringement could not be avoided in complying with such specifications or (b) use or sale of products in combination with other items when such infringement would not have occurred from the use or sale of those products solely for the purpose for which they were designed or sold by Seller. For purposes of this article only, the term Buyer will include The Boeing Company and all Boeing subsidiaries and all officers, agents and employees of Boeing or any Boeing subsidiary.

Patent The development of patentable inventions or discoveries is not the primary purpose of the research activities of the faculty. Employees have no obligation to seek patent protection for the results of scientific work nor to modify research to enhance patentability. 10.6.1 OC agrees that employees have the unqualified right to publish their inventions, improvements, designs or developments and, except as noted in section 10.6.3, OC waives, disclaims and abandons any interest in or claims to any invention, improvement, design or development made by an employee or employees and unless otherwise provided in this Article, any invention, improvement design or development, or any patent arising therefrom shall be the sole property of the inventor(s). 10.6.2 Where the activities are a part of work performed for which OC is not paying the employee from any source and no OC space or equipment is being used, the employee shall be entitled to any and all royalties from such patents. Employees shall have the right to make their own arrangements at their own expense to patent an invention, an improvement, a design or development and, subject to the obligations in the Article and except as noted in section 10.6.3, shall be entitled to all the proceeds therefrom.
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 AND COPYRIGHT INDEMNIFICATION a. The Contractor, at its expense, shall defend, indemnify, and hold DSHS harmless from and against any claims against DSHS that any Product or Work Product supplied hereunder, or DSHS’s use of the Product or Work Product within the terms of this Contract, infringes any patent, copyright, utility model, industrial design, mask work, trade secret, trademark, or other similar proprietary right of a third party worldwide. Product shall mean any Contractor-supplied equipment, Software, or documentation. The Contractor shall pay all costs of such defense and settlement and any penalties, costs, damages and attorneys’ fees awarded by a court or incurred by DSHS provided that DSHS: (1) Promptly notifies the Contractor in writing of the claim, but DSHS’s failure to provide timely notice shall only relieve the Contractor from its indemnification obligations if and to the extent such late notice prejudiced the defense or resulted in increased expense or loss to the Contractor; and (2) Cooperates with and agrees to use its best efforts to encourage the Office of the Attorney General of Washington to grant the Contractor sole control of the defense and all related settlement negotiations. b. If such claim has occurred, or in the Contractor’s opinion is likely to occur, DSHS agrees to permit the Contractor, at its option and expense, either to procure for DSHS the right to continue using the Product or Work Product or to replace or modify the same so that they become non-infringing and functionally equivalent. If use of the Product or Work Product is enjoined by a court and the Contractor determines that none of these alternatives is reasonably available, the Contractor, at its risk and expense, will take back the Product or Work Product and provide DSHS a refund. In the case of Work Product, the Contractor shall refund to DSHS the entire amount DSHS paid to the Contractor for the Contractor’s provision of the Work Product. In the case of Product, the Contractor shall refund to DSHS its depreciated value. No termination charges will be payable on such returned Product, and DSHS will pay only those charges that were payable prior to the date of such return. Depreciated value shall be calculated on the basis of a useful life of four (4) years commencing on the date of purchase and shall be an equal amount per year over said useful life. The depreciation for fractional parts of a year shall be prorated on the basis of three hundred sixty- five (365) days per year. In the event the Product has been installed less than one (1) year, all costs associated with the initial installation paid by DSHS shall be refunded by the Contractor. c. The Contractor has no liability for any claim of infringement arising solely from: (1) The Contractor’s compliance with any designs, specifications or instructions of DSHS; (2) Modification of the Product or Work Product by DSHS or a third party without the prior knowledge and approval of the Contractor; or (3) Use of the Product or Work Product in a way not specified by the Contractor; unless the claim arose against the Contractor’s Product or Work Product independently of any of these specified actions. d. This Section, Patent and Copyright Indemnification, is intended to survive the expiration or termination of the agreement.
