Related to Scope of the License and Third Party Patent Rights

• 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.

• Third Party Patents If, after June 17, 2014, it was or is Necessary or Useful for Allogene (or Pfizer, to the extent identified by Pfizer prior to the Assignment) to license one or more Patent Rights from one or more Third Parties in order to Develop, Manufacture, Commercialize or use any Allogene Licensed Product, whether directly or through any Allogene Affiliate or Sublicensee, then Allogene may, in its sole discretion, negotiate and obtain a license under such Patent Right(s) (each such Third Party license, or any such Third Party license entered into as of the Effective Date by Allogene or by Pfizer and assigned to Allogene, referred to herein as an “Additional Third Party License”). Any royalty otherwise payable to Cellectis under this Agreement with respect to Net Sales of any Allogene Licensed Product by Allogene, its Affiliates or Sublicensees will be reduced by [***] of the amounts payable to Third Parties pursuant to any Additional Third Party Licenses, such reduction to continue until all such amounts have been expended, provided that in no event will the total royalty payable to Cellectis for any Allogene Licensed Product be less than [***] of the royalty amounts otherwise payable for such Allogene Licensed Product and in no event will the royalty payable to Cellectis for any Allogene Licensed Product be reduced below [***] (in each case, other than in the case of Cellectis’ breach of any representation, warranty or covenant hereunder). For purposes of this Section 5.2.2(b), (i) “Necessary” means that, without a license to use the Third Party’s Patent Right, the Development, Manufacture, Commercialization or use of any Allogene Licensed Product in the form such Allogene Licensed Product exists at the time that the Additional Third Party License is executed would, in Allogene’s opinion, infringe such Third Party’s Patent Right and (ii) “Useful” means that Allogene has determined in its discretion that use of such Third Party’s Patent Right would enhance the commercial potential of such Allogene Licensed Product. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties agree and acknowledge that this Section 5.2.2(b) will not apply with respect to royalties payable by Allogene to any Third Party under any agreement in existence as of June 17, 2014. Neither Party will intentionally negotiate with a Third Party an exclusive license that excludes sublicense rights to the other Party, in the event such Third Party rights are necessary, as determined by the negotiating Party, to Develop and Commercialize Allogene Licensed Products and Cellectis Products in connection with this Agreement in the Field.

• Licensed Patent Rights The term “Licensed Patent Rights” shall mean rights arising out of or resulting from:

• Licensed Patents 9.1.1 Oculis shall be responsible for and shall have the exclusive right with respect to, the preparation, filing, prosecution, protection, maintenance and enforcement of all Patent Rights in respect of the Licensed Technology in its discretion using its patent counsel. Oculis shall consult with Accure with respect thereto, supply Accure with a copy of the application as filed, together with notice of its filing date and serial number; and keep Accure advised of the status of actual and prospective Patent Right filings, including office actions, and keep Accure informed about and provide copies of all the relevant information exchanged between Oculis and the different Industrial or Intellectual Property Registration Offices regarding the prosecution, maintenance, defense and enforcement of the Licensed Patents. The cost and expense of filing, prosecuting, maintaining and enforcing all Licensed Patents shall be borne by Oculis. Accure shall, and hereby procures its personnel will, provide all requested information and perform all acts reasonably requested by Oculis in connection with the prosecution, maintenance, defense or enforcement of the Licensed Technology. Without limiting the foregoing, Accure and its Affiliates may not file for further Patent Rights relating to Licensed Technology. 9.1.2 Should Oculis not be interested in the prosecution, defense and maintenance of any or all of the Licensed Patents, and/or Xxxxxx decides not to pay all reasonable and necessary expenses with respect to the prosecution, defense or maintenance of any Licensed Patent before any upcoming deadline, Oculis shall give reasonable advance notice to Accure (no less than [***]), and subsequent to such notice Accure shall act as it deems appropriate in connection with the prosecution, defense and maintenance of the Licensed Patents at their discretion and at their own cost. As from such notification, Oculis shall not be responsible for costs associated with such Licensed Patents, and, where such notification is provided following such time as Xxxxxx assumes responsible for performing patenting matters as set forth above, Oculis shall not be responsible for the preparation, filing, prosecution, protection and maintenance of the mentioned Licensed Patents and such Patent Rights shall cease to be Licensed Patents and the provisions of Agreement shall be of no further effect with respect to such patent and/or country of the Territory.

• 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.

• 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 IP A. To the extent that any Third Party IP is included or incorporated in the Work Product by Grantee, Grantee hereby grants to System Agency, or shall obtain from the applicable third party for System Agency’s benefit, the irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free right and license, for System Agency’s internal business or governmental purposes only, to use, reproduce, display, perform, distribute copies of, and prepare derivative works based upon such Third Party IP and any derivative works thereof embodied in or delivered to System Agency in conjunction with the Work Product, and to authorize others to do any or all of the foregoing. B. Grantee shall obtain System Agency’s advance written approval prior to incorporating any Third Party IP into the Work Product, and Grantee shall notify System Agency on delivery of the Work Product if such materials include any Third Party IP. C. Grantee shall provide System Agency all supporting documentation demonstrating Grantee’s compliance with this Section 6.3, including without limitation documentation indicating a third party’s written approval for Grantee to use any Third Party IP that may be incorporated in the Work Product.

• Third Party Licenses If (a) in the opinion of outside patent counsel to Licensee, Licensee, or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees, cannot Exploit a Licensed Product in a country in the Territory without infringing one or more Patents that have issued to a Third Party in such country, or (b) as a result of any claim made against a Party, or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees, alleging that the Exploitation of a Licensed Product infringes or misappropriates any Patent or any other intellectual property right of a Third Party in a country in the Territory, a judgment is entered by a court of competent jurisdiction from which no appeal is taken within the time permitted for appeal, such that Licensee cannot Exploit such Licensed Product in such country without infringing the Patent or other proprietary rights of such Third Party, then, in either case, Licensee shall have the first right, but not the obligation to negotiate and to obtain a license from such Third Party as necessary for the Exploitation of any Licensed Product hereunder in such country; provided, however, that NovaDel shall have the sole right to seek any such license with respect to the Licensed Process and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such a license in its own name from such Third Party in such country, under which NovaDel shall, to the extent permissible under such license, grant a sublicense to Licensee as necessary for Licensee, and any of its Affiliates and Sublicensees, to Exploit the Licensed Product as provided hereunder in such country. Licensee shall be solely responsible for one hundred percent (100%) of all royalty and other obligations with respect to the Exploitation of the Licensed Product; provided, however, that Licensee shall have the right to credit fifty percent (50%) any royalties paid by Licensee, its Affiliates or Sublicensees under such license with respect to such country against the royalty payments to be paid by Licensee to NovaDel with respect to the sale of the Licensed Product(s) under Section 4.1; provided, however, that no royalty payment when due, regardless of the amount or number of credits available to Licensee in accordance with this Agreement, shall be reduced by more than fifty percent (50%) of the amounts otherwise owed pursuant to Section 4.1 in any calendar quarter. Credits not exhausted in any calendar quarter may be carried into future calendar quarters.

• Joint Patents With respect to any potentially patentable Joint Invention, the Parties shall meet and agree upon which Party shall prosecute and maintain Patent applications covering such Joint Invention (any such Patent application and any Patents issuing therefrom, a “Joint Patent”) in particular countries and jurisdictions throughout the world. Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, Xxxxxx will prosecute and maintain any Joint Patents in the Licensed Territory, and Onconova will prosecute and maintain the Joint Patents outside the Licensed Territory, subject to the Parties coordinating their efforts as appropriate to make such prosecution activities as efficient, convenient, and harmonious as possible. The Parties ** all expenses of filing, prosecuting and maintaining such Joint Patents. The Party that prosecutes a Joint Patent (the “Prosecuting Party”) shall provide the other Party the opportunity to review and comment on any and all such prosecution efforts regarding the applicable Joint Patent in the particular jurisdictions, and such other Party shall provide the Prosecuting Party reasonable assistance in such efforts; provided that the Prosecuting Party shall have final control over such prosecution efforts after reasonably considering the other Party’s comments, if any. 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 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 or desirable to enable the other Party to comply with any duty of candor and/or duty of disclosure requirements of any Patent authority. Except to the extent a Party is restricted by the licenses granted by such Party to the other Party under the terms of this Agreement, and/or the other covenants contained in this Agreement, each Party shall be entitled to practice, and grant licenses to Third Parties and Affiliates of such Third Parties to practice, the Joint Patents and all Joint Inventions without restriction or an obligation to account to the other Party, and the other Party shall consent and hereby consents, without additional consideration, to any and all such licenses.
