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.
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.
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.

11.2 During the TERM of this Agreement:
(a) LICENSEE shall have the first right (but not the obligation) to defend the LICENSED PATENTS against infringement or interference in the FIELD and in the LICENSED TERRITORY by third parties. This right includes bringing any legal action for infringement and defending any counter claim of invalidity or action of a third party for declaratory judgment for non-infringement or non-interference. If, in the reasonable opinion of LICENSEE’s counsel, YALE is required to be a named party to any such suit for standing purposes, LICENSEE may join YALE as a party; provided, however, that (i) YALE shall not be the first named party in any such action, (ii) the pleadings and any public statements about the action shall state that the action is being pursued by LICENSEE and that LICENSEE has joined YALE as a party; and (iii) LICENSEE shall keep YALE reasonably apprised of all developments in any such action. LICENSEE may settle such suits solely in its own name and solely at its own expense and through counsel of its own selection; provided, however, that no settlement shall be entered without YALE’s prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. Without limiting the foregoing, YALE may withhold its consent to any settlement that would in any manner affect the validity, scope or enforceability of any LICENSED PATENT. LICENSEE shall bear the expense of such legal actions. Except for providing reasonable assistance (including joining such actions as described above), at the request and expense of LICENSEE, YALE shall have no obligation regarding the legal actions described in Article 11.2 unless required to participate by law. However, YALE shall have the right to participate in any such action through its own counsel and at its own expense. Any recovery shall first be applied to LICENSEE’s out of pocket expenses and second shall be applied to YALE’s out of pocket expenses, including legal fees. YALE shall recover [***]% of any excess recovery over those expenses.
(b) In the event LICENSEE fails to initiate and pursue or participate in the actions described in Article 11.2(a) or in lieu of such actions to initiate negotiations for a sublicense of the infringer, and the infringement has not otherwise abated, within [***] of notification of infringement from YALE, YALE may, in its sole discretion, convert the LICENSE granted in Article 3 to a non-exclusive license. Additionally, YALE shall have the right to initiate legal action such as that described in Article 11.2(a) at its own expense. If, in the reasonable opinion of YALE’s counsel, LICENSEE is required to be a named party to any such suit for standing purposes, YALE may join LICENSEE as party plaintiff to uphold the LICENSED PATENTS, provided, however, that YALE shall keep LICENSEE reasonably apprised of all developments in any such action. In such case, LICENSEE shall provide reasonable assistance to YALE if requested to do so, at YALE’s expense. YALE may settle such actions solely through its own counsel any recovery shall be retained by YALE. YALE may terminate the LICENSE in the country where such legal action is taken.
(c) In the event LICENSEE is permanently enjoined from exercising its LICENSE under this Agreement pursuant to an infringement action brought by a third party, or if both LICENSEE and YALE elect not to undertake the defense or settlement of a suit alleging infringement for a period of [***] from notice of such suit, then either party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in the country where the suit was filed with respect to the LICENSED PATENT following [***] written notice to the other party in accordance with the terms of Article 15.

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.

(c) Obligations related to Third Party Products are expressly excluded from Xxxxxx’ obligations to Customer under this Section 11.
