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.
Third Party Patent Rights No Party makes any warranty with respect to the validity, perfection or dominance of any Patent or other proprietary right or with respect to the absence of rights in Third Parties which may be infringed by the manufacture or sale of the Licensed Product. Each Party agrees to bring to the attention of the other Party any patent or patent application it discovers, or has discovered, and which relates to the subject matter of this Agreement.
Licensed Patent Rights The term “Licensed Patent Rights” shall mean rights arising out of or resulting from:
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.
Termination for Patent Challenge If, during the Term, AbbVie or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees of Morphic Patents under this Agreement: (a) [***]; or (b) [***] (each of (a) and (b), a “Patent Challenge”), then except as otherwise set forth in this Section 12.2.5, Morphic shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon at least [***] prior written notice to AbbVie; provided, that Morphic shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement if within [***] after receipt of such written notice from Morphic, (i) AbbVie or its Affiliate, as applicable, rescinds any and all of such Patent Challenge (or in the case of ex-parte proceedings, multi-party proceedings, or other Patent Challenges that AbbVie or such Affiliate does not have the power to unilaterally withdraw or cause to be withdrawn, AbbVie and its Affiliate, as applicable, knowingly ceases providing any support or assistance to any Person with respect to such Patent Challenge and, to the extent AbbVie or any of its Affiliates is a party to such Patent Challenge, it withdraws from such Patent Challenge) and provided, that neither AbbVie nor any AbbVie Affiliate thereafter continues such Patent Challenge or, knowingly, the provision of any direction, support or assistance to any Person in respect of the same or (ii) if such Patent Challenge is brought by a Sublicensee, AbbVie or its Affiliate terminates such Sublicensee’s sublicense or other right or authorization to the relevant Patent and ceases providing any direction, support or assistance to such Sublicensee related to such Patent Challenge, unless such termination is prohibited under Applicable Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Morphic shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 12.2.5 if AbbVie or its Affiliate or Sublicensee takes any action described in clause (a) or (b) of the foregoing definition of Patent Challenge (x) in a proceeding involving a Morphic Patent where AbbVie, an Affiliate or Sublicensee has been compelled to participate in the proceeding by a court, patent office, or Third Party (other than any Sublicensee) or (y) that is necessary or reasonably required to assert a cross-claim or a counterclaim or to respond to a court request or order or administrative law request or order, including asserting any defense or counterclaim in, or otherwise responding to, an action for infringement of intellectual property asserted, filed, or threatened to be filed, against AbbVie or its Affiliate or Sublicensee by Morphic or any of its Affiliates or its (sub)licensees. In addition, Morphic shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 12.2.5 if any Affiliate that first becomes an Affiliate of AbbVie after the Effective Date was undertaking activities in connection with a Patent Challenge prior to such Affiliate first becoming an Affiliate of AbbVie if AbbVie causes such Patent Challenge to be withdrawn (or in the case of ex-parte proceedings, multi-party proceedings, or other Patent Challenges that such Affiliate does not have the power to unilaterally withdraw or cause to be withdrawn, such Affiliate knowingly ceases providing any direction, support or assistance to any Person with respect to such Patent Challenge and, to the extent such Affiliate is a party to such Patent Challenge, it withdraws from such Patent Challenge) within the later to occur of (A) [***] of the date such Affiliate first becomes an Affiliate of AbbVie and (B) [***] following the date Morphic provides AbbVie notice regarding such Patent Challenge and in all cases, provided, that neither AbbVie nor any AbbVie Affiliate thereafter continues such Patent Challenge or, knowingly, the provision of any direction, support or assistance to any Person in respect of the same.
Patent Challenge 6.5.1 Licensor may terminate this Agreement, effective immediately upon written notice to Licensee, upon the commencement by Licensee or any of its Affiliates of a Patent Challenge. 6.5.2 Licensee shall include in each sublicense agreement entered into with a Sublicensee a right of Licensee to terminate such sublicense agreement if such Sublicensee commences a Patent Challenge; and Licensee shall terminate the sublicense agreement, effective immediately upon written notice to the Sublicensee, if the Sublicensee commences a Patent Challenge. In addition, if the Sublicensee’s commencement of a Patent Challenge gives Licensor’s licensor a right of termination under the Penn Agreement and such licensor threatens to terminate the Penn Agreement, then, upon receipt of notice to such effect, Licensor may terminate this Agreement, effective immediately upon written notice to Licensee, if the Sublicensee commences a Patent Challenge. 6.5.3 For purposes of this Section 6.5, “Patent Challenge” means any action against Licensor or the University of Pennsylvania or SmithKline Xxxxxxx Corporation (or their successors under the Existing Licenses), including an action for declaratory judgment, to declare or render invalid or unenforceable the Licensed Patents, or any claim thereof.
