Patent Rights The State and the U. S. Department of Transportation shall have the royalty free, nonexclusive and irrevocable right to use and to authorize others to use any patents developed by the Engineer under this contract.
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 Probody 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 Probody 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 ImmunoGen will control filing, prosecution and maintenance of Joint Patent Rights claiming Joint Program Technology or Joint Conjugation Probody Platform Improvements, and that CytomX will control filing, prosecution and maintenance of Joint Patent Rights claiming Joint Unconjugated 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.
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.
Intellectual Property Infringement If a third party makes a claim against Customer that the Licensed Software or Documentation directly infringe any patent issued as of the two years following the Effective Date or any copyright, trade secret or trademark ("IP Claim"); Siebel will defend Customer or Distributor against the IP Claim and pay all costs, damages and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) awarded against Customer or Distributor by a court of competent jurisdiction or agreed to in a written settlement agreement signed by Siebel arising out of such IP Claim; provided that: (i) Customer or Distributor promptly notifies Siebel in writing no later than sixty (60) days after Customer's or Distributor's receipt of notification of a potential claim, (ii) Siebel may assume sole control of the defense of such claim and all related settlement negotiations; and (iii) Customer or Distributor provides Siebel, at Siebel's request and expense, with the assistance, information and authority necessary to perform Siebel's obligations under this Section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Siebel shall have no liability for any claim of infringement based on (a) the use of a superseded or altered release of Licensed Software if the infringement would have been avoided by the use of a current unaltered release of the Licensed Software, which Siebel provided to Distributor, (b) the modification of the Licensed Software, or (c) the use of the Licensed Software other than in accordance with the Documentation. If, due to an IP Claim, (i) the Licensed Software is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or are believed by Siebel to infringe, or (ii) Customer or Distributor receives a valid court order enjoining Customer or Distributor from using the Licensed Software, Siebel shall in its reasonable judgment, and at its expense, (a) replace or modify the Licensed Software to be non-infringing; (b) obtain for Distributor and/or its Customers a license to continue using the Licensed Software, or (c) if Siebel cannot reasonably obtain the remedies in (a) or (b), terminate the license for the infringing Licensed Software and refund the license fees paid to Siebel for such Licensed Software upon its return by Distributor. This Section 9 states Siebel's entire liability and Distributor's exclusive remedy for any claim of infringement.
Licensed Patent Rights The term “Licensed Patent Rights” shall mean rights arising out of or resulting from:
Prosecution and Maintenance of Patent Rights (a) At the initiative of ProPhase or Licensor, the Parties shall consult in good faith with each other regarding the filing, prosecution, and maintenance of all Licensed Patents. The Licensed Patents shall be diligently filed, prosecuted and maintained by Licensor using reputable counsel. Licensor shall keep ProPhase reasonably informed with regard to the preparation, filing, prosecution, and maintenance of the Licensed Patents, including by providing ProPhase (or its designee) copies of office actions issued from patent offices, proposed responses to such office actions, and any other patent related filings, to be made to such patent authority in the Territory sufficiently in advance of submitting such filings or responses so as to allow for a reasonable opportunity for ProPhase to review and comment thereon. Licensor shall consider in good faith any such comments for incorporation into such draft. Licensor represents that during the Term that (a) all Licensed Patents will be diligently prosecuted in the respective patent offices in the Territory in accordance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, (b) all Licensed Patents will be filed and maintained properly and correctly, (c) Licensor will pay all applicable fees on or before the due date for payment, and (d) all Licensed Patents will identify each and every inventor of the claims thereof as determined in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which such Patent is filed. Prophase shall reimburse Global BioLife for reasonable attorney fees and patent office costs associated with the prosecution and maintenance of the Licensed Patents on a quarterly basis commencing on September 30, 2022. (b) If, at any time during the Term, the Parties may mutually agree that it is undesirable, as to one or more countries, to file, prosecute or maintain any Licensed Patent, then Global BioLife shall have discretion to refrain from filing, prosecuting and/or maintaining any Licensed Patent or permitting the Licensed Patent to lapse. (c) The Parties shall cooperate with each other and discuss, in good faith, the Patent Rights within the Licensed Patents Covering the Licensed Compound and Licensed Products to enable Prophase to make filings with Regulatory Authorities, as required or allowed in connection with (A) in the United States, the FDA’s Orange Book and (B) outside the United States, under the national implementations of Article 10.l(a)(iii) of Directive 2001/EC/83 or other international equivalents thereof. Global BioLife shall cooperate with Prophase’s reasonable requests in connection therewith, including meeting any submission deadlines, in each case, to the extent required or permitted by applicable law. (d) The Parties shall cooperate in obtaining Patent Term Extensions pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 156 and foreign counterparts and equivalents thereof, including supplementary protection certificates, to the extent such extensions are available with respect to the applicable Patent Rights (“Extension Activities”).
NOTICE AND ASSISTANCE REGARDING PATENT AND COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT The provisions of this clause shall be applicable only if the amount of this Agreement exceeds $100,000. (a) The Contractor shall report to the Government through BSA promptly and in reasonable written detail, each notice or claim of patent or copyright infringement based on the performance of this Agreement of which the Contractor has knowledge. (b) In the event of any claim or suit against the Government on account of any alleged patent or copyright infringement arising out of the performance of this Agreement or out of the use of any supplies furnished or work or services performed hereunder, the Contractor shall furnish to the Government when requested by the Government or BSA, all evidence and information in possession of the Contractor pertaining to such suit or claim. Such evidence and information shall be furnished at the expense of the Government except where the Contractor has agreed to indemnify the Government or BSA. (c) This clause shall be included in all subcontracts.
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.
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.
Licensed Patents 9.1.1 Oculis shall be responsible for and shall have the exclusive right with respect to, the preparation, filing, prosecution, protection, maintenance and enforcement of all Patent Rights in respect of the Licensed Technology in its discretion using its patent counsel. Oculis shall consult with Accure with respect thereto, supply Accure with a copy of the application as filed, together with notice of its filing date and serial number; and keep Accure advised of the status of actual and prospective Patent Right filings, including office actions, and keep Accure informed about and provide copies of all the relevant information exchanged between Oculis and the different Industrial or Intellectual Property Registration Offices regarding the prosecution, maintenance, defense and enforcement of the Licensed Patents. The cost and expense of filing, prosecuting, maintaining and enforcing all Licensed Patents shall be borne by Oculis. Accure shall, and hereby procures its personnel will, provide all requested information and perform all acts reasonably requested by Oculis in connection with the prosecution, maintenance, defense or enforcement of the Licensed Technology. Without limiting the foregoing, Accure and its Affiliates may not file for further Patent Rights relating to Licensed Technology. 9.1.2 Should Oculis not be interested in the prosecution, defense and maintenance of any or all of the Licensed Patents, and/or Xxxxxx decides not to pay all reasonable and necessary expenses with respect to the prosecution, defense or maintenance of any Licensed Patent before any upcoming deadline, Oculis shall give reasonable advance notice to Accure (no less than [***]), and subsequent to such notice Accure shall act as it deems appropriate in connection with the prosecution, defense and maintenance of the Licensed Patents at their discretion and at their own cost. As from such notification, Oculis shall not be responsible for costs associated with such Licensed Patents, and, where such notification is provided following such time as Xxxxxx assumes responsible for performing patenting matters as set forth above, Oculis shall not be responsible for the preparation, filing, prosecution, protection and maintenance of the mentioned Licensed Patents and such Patent Rights shall cease to be Licensed Patents and the provisions of Agreement shall be of no further effect with respect to such patent and/or country of the Territory.
