Right to Sublicense So long as COMPANY remains the exclusive licensee of the PATENT RIGHTS in the FIELD in the TERRITORY, COMPANY shall have the sole right to sublicense any alleged infringer in the FIELD in the TERRITORY for future use of the PATENT RIGHTS in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement relating to sublicenses. Any upfront fees as part of such sublicense shall be shared equally between COMPANY and M.I.T.; other revenues to COMPANY pursuant to such sublicense shall be treated as set forth in Article 4.
Sublicensees Licensee shall have the full right (but not the obligation) to sublicense those rights granted to it under Section 2.1 to a Third Party (a “Sublicensee”); provided, however, that, prior to the payment of the first milestone pursuant to Section 7.2, Licensee may not grant any such sublicense to any contract research organization conducting Clinical Trials of Products or any Third Parties conducting contract Manufacturing activities without Licensee’s prior written notice (at least twenty (20) Business Days in advance) to Lilly, which shall include a description of the rights to be granted and the purpose therefor, the identity of the Third Party and the countries involved, and Lilly’s prior written consent, but such consent shall only be required (i) until such time as Licensee is the holder of record for the Regulatory Materials related to Taladegib and (ii) to the extent such organization is not performing services for Licensee as of the Effective Date; and provided further, that Licensee shall remain responsible for the performance by any of its Sublicensees. With respect to any Sublicensee granted a sublicense to any Commercialization rights hereunder, Licensee shall ensure that each of its Sublicensees accepts in writing all applicable terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the non-compete, reporting, audit, inspection and confidentiality provisions hereunder. Each Sublicensee shall also be prohibited from further sublicensing. For the avoidance of doubt, (a) Licensee will remain directly responsible for all amounts owed to Lilly under this Agreement, and (b) each Sublicensee is subject to the negative and restrictive covenants set forth in Sections 2.3.1 and 2.5, respectively. Licensee hereby expressly waives any requirement that Lilly exhaust any right, power or remedy, or proceed against a subcontractor, for any obligation or performance hereunder prior to proceeding directly against Licensee.
Sublicensee The term “Sublicensee” shall mean any third party to whom Licensee grants a sublicense or similar rights with respect to the rights conferred upon Licensee under this Agreement, as contemplated by Section 2.3. In addition, “Sublicensee” shall include any and all further third party Sublicensees that may be permitted under Section 2.3.
Assignment and Sublicensing The rights and licenses granted hereunder may not be sublicensed, conveyed, assigned or otherwise transferred by Licensee to any third party without NCT Hearing's prior written consent in each instance. In addition, Licensee shall have the right to have Licensed Products manufactured for it by others but only after obtaining NCT Hearing's prior written consent and only under nondisclosure agreements implemented in accordance with the provisions of Articles 4 and 5 hereof.
Sublicense Fees Licensee will pay Sublicense Fees indicated in Section 3.1(e) of the Patent & Technology License Agreement on or before the Quarterly Payment Deadline for the Contract Quarter.
Sublicense (a) The license granted in Paragraph 2.1 includes the right of LICENSEE to grant Sublicenses to third parties during the Term but only for as long as the license to Patent Rights is exclusive.
Sublicense Agreements Sublicenses shall be granted only pursuant to written agreements, which shall be subject and subordinate to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Such Sublicense agreements shall contain, among other things, provisions to the following effect:
Licensed Products Lessee will obtain no title to Licensed Products which will at all times remain the property of the owner of the Licensed Products. A license from the owner may be required and it is Lessee's responsibility to obtain any required license before the use of the Licensed Products. Lessee agrees to treat the Licensed Products as confidential information of the owner, to observe all copyright restrictions, and not to reproduce or sell the Licensed Products.
Sublicenses Merck shall have the right to sublicense ([…***…]) any or all of the licenses granted to Merck hereunder, including in connection with the performance of tasks and obligations with respect to the Research, Development and Commercialization of Program Nanobody(ies), Compound(s) and Product(s) as Merck deems appropriate and without the prior written consent of Ablynx. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such sublicense granted to a Third Party that encompasses material Commercialization of Program Nanobody(ies), Compound(s) and Product(s) for the U.S. or any Primary Country shall require prior written notification to Ablynx. Merck shall be responsible for ensuring that the performance by any of its sublicensees hereunder that are exercising rights under a sublicense hereunder is in accordance with the applicable terms of this Agreement (to the extent applicable to sublicensees), and the grant of any such sublicense shall not relieve Merck of its obligations under this Agreement (except to the extent they are performed by any such sublicensee(s) in accordance with this Agreement). In all cases, the rights granted to any sublicensee shall be subject and subordinate to the applicable terms and conditions of this Agreement. Where a sublicensee of Merck that is not an Affiliate is to perform any Research Program activities during the Research Program Term for the applicable Research Program, the grant of such a sublicense shall require the prior written consent of Ablynx (not to be unreasonably withheld), and Merck shall oversee the performance by such sublicensee of the relevant activities by the sublicensee in a manner that would be reasonably expected to result in their timely and successful completion of such activities in accordance with this Agreement, and Merck shall remain responsible and primarily and fully liable for the performance of such activities in accordance with this Agreement. Merck hereby expressly waives any requirement that Ablynx exhaust any right, power or remedy, or proceed against such sublicensee for any obligation or performance hereunder, prior to proceeding directly against Merck with respect to the sublicense. Merck shall ensure compliance with the applicable terms of this Agreement (to the extent applicable to sublicensees) by its sublicensee, including with respect to provisions on confidentiality, intellectual property ownership and compliance with Applicable Laws. Without limiting the foregoing, to the extent that Merck grants a sublicense so as to enable said sublicensee to perform Research Program activities, Merck shall ensure that its sublicensee is obligated to assign rights to any Program Know-How made by such Third Party sublicensee so that such rights can be conveyed in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including Section 7.1.
