  • 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 TAP 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 TAP 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 CytomX will control filing, prosecution and maintenance of Joint Patent Rights claiming Joint Program Technology or Joint Unconjugated Probody Platform Improvements, and that ImmunoGen will control filing, prosecution and maintenance of Joint Patent Rights claiming Joint TAP Platform Improvements or Joint Conjugation 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.

  • Joint Patents Except as otherwise provided in this Section 7.3(b), the JSC shall entrust one Party with the right and authority, to prosecute and maintain the Joint Patents on a worldwide basis at its sole discretion herein referred to as an “Entrusted Party” (subject to this Section 7.3(b)). The Entrusted Party shall provide the other party reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such prosecution efforts regarding such Joint Patents. The Entrusted Party shall provide the other party with a copy of material communications from any patent authority regarding such Joint Patents, and shall provide the other party with drafts of any material filings or responses to be made to such patent authorities a reasonable amount of time in advance of submitting such filings or responses. If one Party (the “First Party”) determines in its sole discretion to abandon or not maintain any Patent within the Joint Patents anywhere in the world, then such Party shall provide the other Party (the “Second Party”) with thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of such determination (or such longer period of time reasonably necessary to allow the other party to assume such responsibilities) and shall provide the Second Party with the opportunity to prosecute and maintain such Patent at the Second Party’s sole expense, and if the Second Party so requests, the First Party shall assign such Patent to the Second Party (if the Second Party is Rhizen, such Patent shall be included in the Rhizen Patents or if the Second Party is TGTX, in which case such patent will be included in the TGTX Patents). If one Party (the “First Party”) desires to file, in a particular jurisdiction, a patent application that claims priority from a Patent within the Joint Patents, the First Party shall provide written notice to the other Party (the “Second Party”) of such desire. Within fifteen (15) days of such written notice, the Second Party shall provide written notice to the First Party as to whether the Second Party agrees to file a patent application in such jurisdiction or not. In the event the Second Party agrees to such a filing, the Entrusted Party shall file such patent application in such jurisdiction. In the event the Second Party does not desire to file in such jurisdiction, the Second Party shall (i) provide the First Party with the opportunity to file and prosecute such patent application and maintain any patent issuing therefrom, and (ii) assign such patent application or a right to file such patent application to the First Party; and the First Party may file such patent application in such jurisdiction at its sole expense (in which case such Patent shall be included in the respective Party’s Patents).

  • Licensed Patents Immune Design, at its expense, shall have the first right to file, prosecute and maintain all Licensed Patents for which Immune Design has any exclusive rights under this Agreement using patent counsel reasonably approved by IDRI, including conducting any interferences, reexaminations, reissues, oppositions, or request for patent term extension relating thereto. Immune Design shall conduct such filing, prosecution and maintenance in good faith, taking into consideration IDRI’s retained rights hereunder, and consistent with reasonable business judgment, provide IDRI with all relevant or material documentation and proposed filing in the Territory so that IDRI may be concurrently and promptly informed of the continuing prosecution, and consult with IDRI with regards to Immune Design’s patent strategy with the Licensed Patents for which Immune Design has any exclusive rights under this Agreement. Licensed Patents in the name of IDRI shall remain in the name of IDRI. Immune Design shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ***, as applicable. To the extent such ***, Immune Design shall provide IDRI reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such prosecution efforts regarding such Licensed Patents in the Territory, and any IDRI comments will be reasonably considered in such prosecution efforts, and included to the extent affecting the IDRI Exclusive Field or IDRI Territory, as the case may be. If Immune Design determines in its sole discretion to abandon or not maintain any Licensed Patent for which Immune Design has any exclusive rights under this Agreement in the Territory, then Immune Design shall promptly provide IDRI with written notice of such determination at least sixty (60) days before any deadline for taking action to avoid abandonment and shall provide IDRI with the right, opportunity and reasonable assistance to prepare, file, prosecute and maintain such Licensed Patent in the applicable jurisdiction in IDRI’s sole discretion and at IDRI’s expense, provided that Immune Design shall provide such reasonable assistance at its own costs and expenses. If IDRI elects to prepare, file, prosecute and maintain such Licensed Patent in such jurisdiction for which Immune Design has any exclusive rights, then Immune Design’s license rights to such Licensed Patent in such country will become nonexclusive in such country under such Licensed Patent (and/or patent application). If IDRI desires Immune Design to file, in a particular jurisdiction, a Licensed Patent for which Immune Design has any exclusive rights under this Agreement that claims priority to another Licensed Patent for which Immune Design has any exclusive rights under this Agreement, IDRI shall provide written notice to Immune Design requesting that Immune Design file such patent application in such jurisdiction. If IDRI provides such written notice to Immune Design, Immune Design shall either (i) file and prosecute such patent application and maintain any patent issuing thereon in such jurisdiction and the Parties shall share the related costs and expenses (A) in countries *** on the basis of *** percent (***%) Immune Design: *** percent (***%) IDRI or (B) in countries within the IDRI Territory equally; or (ii) notify IDRI that Immune Design does not desire to file such patent application in such jurisdiction and provide IDRI with the opportunity to file and prosecute such patent application, provided that if IDRI files and prosecutes such patent application in such jurisdiction, then Immune Design’s license rights to such License Patent in such country will become nonexclusive in such country under such Licensed GLA Patent (and/or patent application). Immune Design shall be responsible for the costs and expenses incurred in connection with its own activities for filing, prosecuting and maintaining the Licensed Patents; IDRI shall be responsible for monitoring of such activities by IDRI.

  • Licensed Patent Rights The Licensee shall indemnify and hold the IC, its employees, students, fellows, agents, and consultants harmless from and against all liability, demands, damages, expenses, and losses, including but not limited to death, personal injury, illness, or property damage in connection with or arising out of:

  • Prosecution and Maintenance of Patent Rights (a) Subject to commercially appropriate and reasonable efforts (subject to oversight by the Advisory Committee), Genetronics shall at its own expense and by counsel of its own choice, file, prosecute and maintain all patent applications and patents within the Genetronics Patent Rights and any inventions conceived of and reduced to practice solely by its employees and agents hereunder. Genetronics shall do everything commercially appropriate and reasonable (subject to oversight by the Advisory Committee), including without limitation filing all documents and paying all fees to the appropriate patent offices to maintain the patents and pending patent applications in effect. Genetronics agrees to promptly provide Ethicon with copies of all correspondence to and from the patent offices related to the pending patent applications within the Genetronics Patent Rights. Ethicon shall have the right to provide comments to Genetronics regarding the content of such correspondence, and to comment thereon. Genetronics shall consider all such comments offered by Ethicon; provided, that all final decisions with respect to such prosecution shall rest solely in the discretion of Genetronics. In the event that Genetronics desires to abandon any such patent application or patent within the Genetronics Patent Rights, or if Genetronics later declines to prosecute or maintain any such patent application or patent, Genetronics shall provide reasonable prior written notice to Ethicon of such intention and Ethicon shall have the right, but not the obligation at its own expense, to file, prosecute, and maintain such patent application or patent, which Genetronics shall assign to Ethicon and shall no longer be subject to the terms of this Agreement. (b) The Advisory Committee shall determine which party shall be responsible for the filing, prosecution and maintenance of patent applications and patents within the Joint Patent Rights on a case by case basis, with the understanding that it is the parties' intent that Genetronics shall be initially responsible for the filing, prosecution and maintenance of patent applications and patents within the Joint Patent Rights related to the Drug Delivery System. In the event that a party responsible for the filing, prosecution and maintenance of any patent application or patent within the Joint Patent Rights desires to abandon such patent application or patent, or if such party later declines responsibility for such patent application or patent, such party shall provide reasonable prior written notice to the other party of its intention to abandon or decline responsibility, and the other party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to prepare, file, prosecute, and maintain any such patent application or patent within the Joint

  • Patent Infringement 9.1 If either Party learns of the infringement of a Prospective Patent, in any jurisdiction within the Territory, it shall so inform the other Party in writing, including any evidence of such infringement. University may not notify a third party of the infringement of a Prospective Patent, save for its legal advisers, without first obtaining written consent of Licensee, which consent shall not be unreasonably denied or delayed. Both Parties shall use their reasonable commercial efforts in cooperation with each other to terminate such infringement. 9.2 Licensee shall have the sole right, but not the obligation, to institute, prosecute and control any action, suit or proceeding to enforce the Prospective Patent with respect to infringement of the Prospective Patent and to defend any declaratory judgment with respect thereto, in each case within the Territory (“Action”). University hereby agrees to assist and cooperate with Licensee, at Licensee’s expense (including payment for University’s expert’s time, and other expenses so long as such expenses are properly documented), to enable Licensee to prosecute and maintain such Action. University’s agreement to assist Licensee includes, at Licensee’s reasonable request and when it is required by law, government regulation or court order, University’s agreement to join or to procure its Affiliates to join as a nominal party to achieve sufficient legal standing for Licensee to prosecute and maintain such Action provided that, if University participates in the Action only as a nominal party, University shall have no responsibility (other than to join as a nominal party) nor be liable for any costs or expenses in relation to or arising from such Action. For clarity, such liabilities for costs or expenses shall be the responsibility of Licensee. If Licensee invites University or its Affiliates to take a more active role (other than as a nominal party) in an Action as a co-party, University shall have its sole discretion to decide joining or not and on terms to be agreed with Licensee on a case by case basis. Licensee shall have the right to settle any Action or consent to an adverse judgment thereto, in its sole discretion, except that Licensee may not settle such action by agreeing to the invalidation of a Prospective Patent or any claim therein without University’s prior written consent. Any recovery obtained as a result of an Action, whether by judgment, award, decree or settlement, shall first be applied to reimbursement of Licensee’s expenses in bringing such suit or proceeding (including any attorneys, expert and court fees), and the balance shall be considered to be Net Sales Value, and subject to the royalty payments at [***]% as set forth in Clause 5, and the remaining balance shall be recovered by Licensee as damages. 9.3 Subject to Clause 9.2, if University commences or defends any suit or proceedings on its own account, University shall do so at its own expense. University shall have the right to settle any such action or consent to an adverse judgment thereto, in its sole discretion, except that University may not settle such action that may impair, damage or otherwise adversely affect the licence granted to Licensee under Clause 2.1, Licensee’s use of such licence, any Licensed Product, or any of Licensee’s rights/obligations hereunder, without Licensee’s prior written consent, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Any recovery obtained as a result of such action, whether by judgment, award, decree, or settlement, shall first be applied to reimbursement of University’s expenses in bringing such suit or proceeding (including expert, attorneys and court fees), and the balance shall be distributed between University and Licensee at a ratio of 65:35 in all cases which do not result in a sub-licence to a third party. If a suit or proceedings result in a sub-licence to a third party, then any recovery, whether by judgment, award, decree, or settlement, shall first be applied to reimbursement of University’s expenses in bringing such suit or proceeding (including expert, attorneys and court fees), and the balance to be paid to Licensee, provided that such balance shall be shared between University and Licensee according to the provisions in Clause 5.3 herein.

  • Third Party Patent Rights If either Party desires to bring an opposition, action for declaratory judgment, nullity action, interference, declaration for non-infringement, reexamination or other attack upon the validity, title or enforceability of a Patent Right owned or controlled by a Third Party and having one or more claims that Cover the Compound or Product, or the use, sale, offer for sale or importation of the Compound or Product (except insofar as such action is a counterclaim to or defense of, or accompanies a defense of, a Third Party’s claim or assertion of infringement under Section 7.6, in which case the provisions of Section 7.6 shall govern), such Party shall so notify the other Party and the Parties shall promptly confer to determine whether to bring such action or the manner in which to settle such action. Provention shall have the exclusive right, but not the obligation, to bring, at its own expense and in its sole control, such action in the Territory. If Provention does not bring such an action in the Territory, within ninety (90) days of notification thereof pursuant to this Section 7.7(a) (or earlier, if required by the nature of the proceeding), MacroGenics shall have the right, but not the obligation, to bring, at MacroGenics’ own expense, such action. The Party not bringing an action under this Section 7.7(a) shall be entitled to separate representation in such proceeding by counsel of its own choice and at its own expense, and shall cooperate fully with the Party bringing such action. Any awards or amounts received in bringing any such action shall be first allocated to reimburse the initiating Party’s expenses in such action, and any remaining amounts shall be allocated between the Parties as provided in Section 7.5(e).
