Patent Invalidity Claim If a Third Party at any time asserts a claim that any Agenus Patent Right, Incyte Program Patent Right or Joint Patent Right Covering a Product is invalid or otherwise unenforceable (an “Invalidity Claim”), whether as a defense in an infringement action brought by Agenus or Incyte pursuant to Section 6.3(b), in a declaratory judgment action or in a Third Party Infringement Claim brought against Agenus or Incyte, the Party Controlling such Patent Right (or Incyte with respect to any Joint Patent Right) shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to defend such Invalidity Claim and the other Party shall cooperate with the Party Controlling such Patent Right in preparing and formulating a response to such Invalidity Claim. If Agenus does not defend an Invalidity Claim brought against an Agenus Patent Right or Incyte does not defend an Invalidity Claim brought against an Incyte Program Patent Right or Joint Patent Right, the other Party may defend such Invalidity Claim and the coordination provisions of Section 6.3(b) shall apply to such Invalidity Claim, mutatis mutandis as they apply to Licensed IP Infringement suits. Neither Party shall, without the consent of the other Party, settle or compromise any Invalidity Claim in any manner which would (a) have an adverse effect on such other Party’s Patent Rights or such other Party’s Program Rights hereunder or (b) be an admission of liability on behalf of such other Party (provided, however, that the Party initiating such suit may settle such suit without such consent if such settlement involves only the receipt of money from, or the payment of money to, such Third Party and the Party initiating such suit makes all such payments to such Third Party). To the extent such Invalidity Claim is raised as a defense in an infringement action brought by Agenus or Incyte pursuant to Section 6.3(b), the expense provisions of Section 6.3 shall apply and counsel to the Party controlling the infringement action shall act as the ministerial liaison with the court. To the extent such Invalidity Claim is raised in a Third Party Infringement Claim brought against a Party, the expense provisions of Section 6.4 shall apply with respect thereto and the Party against whom the Invalidity Claim is brought shall act as the ministerial liaison with the court.
