Collaboration We believe joint effort toward common goals achieves trust and produces greater impact for L.A. County’s youngest children and their families.
Research Term The Research Program will be carried out during the two (2) year period following the Effective Date, unless this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Article 13 (such period, as may be extended pursuant to this Section 3.2, being the “Research Term”). BMS shall have the option to extend the Research Term for three (3) additional one (1) year periods on a year-by-year basis after the initial two (2) year period. At least one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the scheduled expiration of the Research Term (i.e., the applicable anniversary of the Effective Date) BMS will provide Ambrx with a nonbinding, good faith indication of whether or not BMS intends to extend the Research Term. In order to exercise its option to extend the Research Term, BMS must provide Ambrx a written notice exercising BMS’ option to extend the Research Term at least ninety (90) days prior to the scheduled expiration of the Research Term (i.e., the applicable anniversary of the Effective Date). If BMS does not provide such written notice, the Research Term will end when scheduled (i.e., on the applicable anniversary of the Effective Date). For each extension of the Research Term, subject to Section 3.4, the JRC will prepare an update to the Research Plan which will include an updated Budget for the BMS-funded Ambrx FTEs to perform the work required under such Research Plan and the projected Third Party Costs.

Joint Patent Rights With respect to any potentially patentable Joint Invention, the Parties shall confer and agree upon which Party, if any, shall prepare, file, Prosecute (including any interferences, reissue proceedings, and other administrational proceedings) and Maintain patent applications covering such Joint Invention (any such patent application and any patents issuing therefrom a “Joint Patent Right”), at the responsible Party’s expense. It is the intention of the Parties that, unless otherwise agreed in writing, ATI would prepare, file, Prosecute and Maintain any Joint Patent Rights. The Party that Prosecutes a patent application in the Joint Patent Rights (the “Prosecuting Party”) shall provide the other Party reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such Prosecution efforts regarding the applicable Joint Patent Rights in the particular jurisdictions, and such other Party shall provide the Prosecuting Party reasonable assistance in such efforts. The Prosecuting Party shall provide the other Party with a copy of all material communications from any patent authority in the applicable jurisdictions regarding the Joint Patent Rights being Prosecuted by such Party, and shall provide 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. In particular, each Party agrees to provide the other Party with all information necessary to enable the other Party to comply with the duty of candor/duty of disclosure requirements of any patent authority. Should ATI determine that it will no longer support the continued Prosecution or Maintenance of a particular Joint Patent Right in a country or jurisdiction, ATI shall provide Rigel with written notice of such determination at least thirty (30) Business Days prior to any deadline for taking action to avoid abandonment of such Joint Patent Right. Rigel shall have the right, but not ***Text Omitted and Filed Separately Confidential Treatment Requested Under 17 C.F.R. §§ 200.80(b)(4) and 230.406 obligation, to file, Prosecute and Maintain such Joint Patent Rights in the applicable jurisdiction at Rigel’s expense.
