Patent Numbering Clause Samples

The Patent Numbering clause establishes a standardized system for assigning and referencing patent numbers within a contract or related documentation. Typically, this clause specifies how each patent or patent application should be identified, such as by official registration numbers or internal reference codes, ensuring consistency across all legal and technical materials. Its core function is to prevent confusion or ambiguity when discussing specific patents, thereby facilitating clear communication and accurate record-keeping between parties.
Patent Numbering. LICENSEE and all its Sublicensees shall ▇▇▇▇ all products covered by Licensed Patents with patent numbers in accordance with the statutory requirements in the country(ies) of manufacture, use, sale and import, and pending the issue of any patents, LICENSEE and its Sublicensees shall stamp the products, "Patent Applied For," or the foreign equivalent as appropriate.

  • 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 IllumeSys, MAS shall be responsible for deciding whether and how to file, prosecute and maintain the Patents and Patent Applications, provided that:

  • 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.

  • Maintenance of Patents, Trademarks, Etc Each Loan Party shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain in full force and effect all patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, licenses, franchises, permits and other authorizations necessary for the ownership and operation of its properties and business if the failure so to maintain the same could constitute a Material Adverse Change.

  • PATENT PROTECTION 10.1. LICENSEE shall be responsible for all past, present and future costs of filing, prosecution and maintenance of all United States patent applications contained in the LICENSED PATENTS. Any and all such United States patent applications, and resulting issued patents, shall remain the property of YALE. 10.2. LICENSEE shall be responsible for all past, present and future costs of filing, prosecution and maintenance of all foreign patent applications, and patents contained in the LICENSED PATENTS in the countries outside the United States in the LICENSED TERRITORY selected by YALE and agreed to by LICENSEE. All such applications or patents shall remain the property of YALE. 10.3. If LICENSEE does not agree to pay the expenses of filing, prosecuting or maintaining a patent application or patent in any country outside the United States, or fails to pay the expenses of filing, prosecuting or maintaining a patent application or patent in the United States, then the LICENSE with respect to such patent application or patent shall terminate automatically with respect to that country. 10.4. The costs mentioned in Sections 10.2 and 10.3 shall include, but are not limited to, any past, present and future taxes, annuities, working fees, maintenance fees, renewal and extension charges. Payment of such costs shall be made, at YALE’s option, either directly to patent counsel or by reimbursement to YALE. In either case, LICENSEE shall make payment directly to the appropriate party within thirty (30) days of receiving its invoice. If LICENSEE fails to make payment to YALE or patent counsel, as appropriate, within the thirty (30) day period, LICENSEE shall be charged a five percent (5%) surcharge on the invoiced amount per month or fraction thereof or such other amount (higher or lower) as may be charged by patent counsel. Failure of LICENSEE to pay the surcharge shall be grounds for termination by YALE under Section 13.1 as and to the extent the same constitutes a TERMINATION EVENT. 10.5. All patent applications under the LICENSED PATENTS shall be prepared, prosecuted, filed and maintained by independent patent counsel chosen by YALE and reasonably acceptable to LICENSEE. Said independent patent counsel shall be ultimately responsible to YALE. LICENSEE shall have the right to retain, at its own expense, separate patent counsel to advise LICENSEE regarding such patent matters. YALE shall instruct its patent counsel to keep YALE, LICENSEE and LICENSEE’s patent counsel, if any, fully informed of the progress of all patent applications and patents, and to give both YALE and LICENSEE reasonable opportunity to comment on the type and scope of useful claims and the nature of supporting disclosures and other matters in the course of patent prosecution and maintenance. YALE will not finally abandon any patent application for which LICENSEE is bearing expenses without LICENSEE’s consent. In making its decisions regarding patent matters YALE shall (1) give due regard to the advice of its patent counsel, (2) instruct its patent counsel to consider any advice offered by LICENSEE’s patent counsel, if any, and (3) conduct such preparation, prosecution and maintenance of patent applications and patents in a manner that is commercially reasonable and with a view to assisting LICENSEE in complying with its obligations under this AGREEMENT and to facilitate LICENSEE’s ability to commercialize PRODUCTS IN CLASS and/or LICENSED METHODS for which royalties will be payable by LICENSEE under Section 6.1. YALE shall have no liability to LICENSEE for damages, whether direct, indirect or incidental, consequential or otherwise, allegedly arising from its good faith decisions, actions and omissions taken in compliance with this AGREEMENT in connection with such patent prosecution. 10.6. LICENSEE shall ▇▇▇▇, and shall require SUBLICENSEES to ▇▇▇▇, all LICENSED PRODUCTS with the numbers of all patents included in LICENSED PATENTS that cover the PRODUCTS IN CLASS. Without limiting the foregoing, all PRODUCTS IN CLASS shall be marked in such a manner as to conform with the patent marking notices required by the law of any country where such PRODUCTS IN CLASS are made, sold, used or shipped, including, but not limited to, the applicable patent laws of that country.

  • Patent Maintenance All annuity and maintenance fees that are necessary in order to keep the Patents in force as of the Effective Date have been paid by Seller, and no payment of annuities or fees, or papers to be filed in patent offices, are required to be made within the three-month period after the Effective Date.
