Licensee will have the first right to bring or defend such suit(s). Licensee may request University to initiate or join any such suit if necessary to avoid dismissal of the suit. Should University be made a party to any such suit at the request of the Licensee, Licensee must reimburse University for any costs, expenses, or fees that University incurs as a result of such motion or other action, including any and all costs incurred by University in opposing any such motion or other action. In all cases, Licensee will keep University reasonably apprised of the status and progress of any litigation. Before Licensee commences an infringement action, Licensee must notify University and give careful consideration to the views of University in deciding whether to bring suit. If Licensee notifies the University that it will not be bringing suit for infringement of claims of Patent Rights, University shall have the right to bring and control any such action at its own expense and by counsel of its own choosing. If Licensee elects not to defend against any declaratory judgment action alleging invalidity or non-infringement of any of the Patent Rights, University, at its option, may do so at its own expense.
