Sublicense Rights Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Astellas shall have the right to grant sublicenses of the rights granted to it under Section 3.1.1 and 2.5.3(c) through multiple tiers to its Affiliates, provided that Astellas shall be and remain responsible for performance of all its obligations under this Agreement, and any action by an Affiliate shall be deemed an action by Astellas for which it is responsible. Astellas and its Affiliates may grant sublicenses through multiple tiers to Third Parties (a) whose primary business is contract manufacturing, solely for manufacturing and supplying Licensed Compound or Product to Astellas or any Related Party or (b) to a subcontractor to perform Astellas’s assigned responsibilities under this Agreement or any Research Plan, Development Plan or Co-Promotion Plan. All other sublicenses to be granted by Astellas or any Astellas Affiliate in the Joint Development Territory prior to […***…] will require prior written approval from Ambit, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that in the event such sublicense is to all of Astellas’s rights in the U.S. or the Joint Development Territory to a Person who is not an Astellas Affiliate such approval shall be at Ambit’s sole discretion. In the case of sublicenses pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence above, Astellas shall provide to Ambit, upon Ambit’ written request, a copy of all executed agreements in which rights granted by Ambit under this Agreement are sublicensed (and Astellas shall have the right to make reasonable redactions prior to providing such agreements(s)). Ambit shall treat all such sublicense agreements as Astellas’s Confidential Information. Astellas or its Affiliates may grant sublicenses (i) in the Joint Development Territory at any time after the first NDA Submission in the Joint Development Territory, provided that, with respect to each applicable Product in the U.S., the Required Exercise Date has occurred and Ambit has not exercised the Co-Promotion Option or the Co-Promotion Term has expired or terminated and (ii) outside the Joint Development Territory, in each case ((i) and (ii)) through multiple tiers of Sublicensees without Ambit’s approval. Each sublicense granted by Astellas pursuant to this Section 3.1.2 shall be subject and subordinate to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Any sublicense granted by Astellas shall impose on the Sublicensee obligations consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, with each Sublicensee being required to comply with the obligations under this Agreement applicable to Sublicensees, and also to comply with the generally-applicable obligations of this Agreement that are appropriate for application to Sublicensees. Astellas shall ensure that all Persons to which it (or its Affiliate) grants sublicenses comply with all applicable terms and conditions of this Agreement, and Astellas shall be responsible for any failure of any such Sublicensee to comply with such terms or conditions, with the further understanding that any action or omission by any such Sublicensee that, if committed by Astellas would be a breach of this Agreement (with respect to those country(ies)) in which such Sublicensee is sublicensed), will be deemed a breach by Astellas of this Agreement (with respect to those country(ies) in which such Sublicensee is sublicensed) for which Astellas is responsible. Without limiting the foregoing, no sublicense shall modify Ambit’s rights or obligations under this Agreement (including Ambit’s Co-Promotion rights). Without limiting the foregoing, any sublicense agreement shall contain the following provisions, as applicable: (i) a requirement that such Sublicensee submit applicable Net Sales or other reports consistent with those required hereunder; (ii) audit requirements similar to those set forth in this Agreement; and (iii) a requirement that such Sublicensee comply with the confidentiality provisions of Article 6 with respect to Ambit’s Confidential Information.
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.
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.
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:
Sublicense Grant Licensee will be entitled to grant Sublicenses to third parties under the license granted pursuant to Section 2.1 subject to the terms of this Section 2.3. Any such Sublicense shall be on terms and conditions in compliance with and not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement. The grant of a Sublicense shall not in any way diminish or alter Licensee’s obligations under this Agreement.
License Rights The rights granted herein in favor of each Service Recipient are in the nature of a license and shall not create any leasehold or other estate or possessory rights in Shared Real Property, and if the license granted under this Article III expires or is terminated, the Service Recipient shall vacate the Shared Real Property, and any occupancy or activity of the Service Recipient thereafter in the Shared Real Property shall be considered a trespass.
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.
Research Licenses The Parties shall, and do hereby grant to each other all required licenses (on a non-exclusive, non-sublicenseable, royalty-free, for research and development purposes only basis) in respect of an individual Party’s Intellectual Property necessary for the other Party to conduct the activities contemplated hereunder this Agreement.
License Grants Subject to the terms of this Agreement, M.I.T. hereby grants to COMPANY and its AFFILIATES for the TERM a royalty-bearing license under the PATENT RIGHTS to develop, make, have made, use, sell, offer to sell, lease, and import LICENSED PRODUCTS in the FIELD in the TERRITORY and to develop and perform LICENSED PROCESSES in the FIELD in the TERRITORY.
Research License Following Selection of each CGI Antigen (or exercise of a Buy-In Right for each CGI Antigen) and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, ABX agrees to grant, and hereby grants, to CGI a nonexclusive sublicense under the Licensed Technology to develop, make, have made, use, import or export or otherwise transfer physical possession of (but not to sell, lease, offer to sell or lease, or otherwise transfer title to) Covered Products related to such CGI Antigen and cells that express or secrete Antibodies to such CGI Antigen, in each case solely for purposes relating to or in connection with research or development (i) of Covered Products for use in the field of Gene Therapy or (ii) involving Genetic Material when used with viral or nonviral gene transfer systems. CGI shall have the right to sublicense the rights granted under this Section 2.5 upon the approval of ABX, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. In the event that ABX refuses to approve such a sublicense, ABX shall, to the extent that ABX has the right to do so, grant at CGI's request a nonexclusive sublicense of such rights directly to a non-Affiliate third party designated by CGI on terms and conditions substantially identical to the applicable terms and conditions of this Agreement. The sublicense granted by ABX under this Section 2.5 with respect to a CGI Antigen (and the further sublicenses, if any, granted by CGI under this Section 2.5 with respect to such CGI Antigen) shall terminate at such time as (A) CGI sends ABX an Abandonment Notice pursuant to Section 2.4.1 above regarding such CGI Antigen or (B) CGI enters into a CGI Product Sublicense related to such CGI Antigen; provided, however, that termination of a sublicense under this Section 2.5 with respect to a CGI Antigen pursuant to (B) above shall not affect the duration or survival of a grant of similar rights or sublicense under the CGI Product Sublicense with respect to such CGI Antigen, which rights or sublicense shall terminate or expire only in accordance with the terms of such CGI Product Sublicense. In the event that ABX enters into a Product Sublicense with respect to a CGI Antigen and CGI has not within six (6) months thereafter entered into a CGI Product Sublicense with respect to such CGI Antigen, the sublicense granted under this Section 2.5 with respect to such CGI Antigen shall terminate. It is understood and agreed that (x) as to ABX-Controlled Rights, the grant of rights under this Section 2.5 shall be subject to and limited in all respects by the terms of the applicable ABX In-License(s) pursuant to which such ABX-Controlled Rights were granted to ABX and (y) the rights and sublicenses granted to CGI under this Section 2.5 or any other provision of this Agreement shall be subject in all respects to the GenPharm Cross License.
