Patent/Copyright Materials/Proprietary Infringement Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Contract, Contractor shall be solely responsible for clearing the right to use any patented or copyrighted materials in the performance of this Contract. Contractor warrants that any software as modified through services provided hereunder will not infringe upon or violate any patent, proprietary right or trade secret right of any third party. Contractor agrees that, in accordance with the more specific requirement contained in paragraph 18 below, it shall indemnify, defend and hold County and County Indemnitees harmless from any and all such claims and be responsible for payment of all costs, damages, penalties and expenses related to or arising from such claim(s), including, but not limited to, attorney’s fees, costs and expenses.
Infringement 8.1 The parties shall promptly notify each other of any suspected infringement of any Licensed Patents.
i. During the Term, COMPANY shall, at its expense, have the right to enforce any Licensed Patents against such infringer and may defend any declaratory judgment action brought against it alleging the invalidity of a Licensed Patent. COMPANY agrees to defend LICENSOR against any counterclaim brought against it in such action. LICENSOR shall cooperate with COMPANY in such effort, and EMORY agrees that it will, at COMPANY’S expense, be joined as a party to such action, if necessary. It is LICENSOR’s intention that COMPANY be able to prosecute an alleged infringement without including LICENSOR as a party to the litigation, should LICENSOR choose at its discretion not to be a party to the litigation, and as such herein grants COMPANY the rights in Licensed Patents to xxx an infringer alone. Should GTRC choose not to join in such action and COMPANY is unable to initiate or prosecute such action in its name only by a ruling of a court of competent jurisdiction, GTRC shall assign to EMORY only such rights to the applicable Licensed Patent that may be necessary to permit COMPANY to initiate or prosecute such action without GTRC, provided that COMPANY shall be responsible for all reasonable attorney’s fees and costs associated with LICENSOR’s participation in such suit. COMPANY shall reimburse LICENSOR for any costs incurred, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, as part of any action brought by COMPANY.
ii. COMPANY shall not enter into any settlement agreement, voluntary dismissal, consent judgment or other voluntary final disposition in any action regarding the Licensed Patents, without the express written consent of LICENSOR if such agreement would or would be reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the validity or enforceability of the Licensed Patents, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Consent shall be deemed given hereunder if no objection is provided in writing within fifteen days of delivery of the request for such consent. Any recovery or settlement received (whether for punitive or exemplary damages, or any other recovery or settlement received, including compensatory damages or damages based on loss or revenues (hereinafter referred to as “Recovery”)), shall first be used to reimburse the documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by COMPANY and LICENSOR in pursuing such action, and to the extent any portion of the balance of the Recovery represents compensatory damages, for example, compensation for loss of revenues, such portion shall be deemed to be the Sales of Licensed Products in the fiscal quarter received by COMPANY, and COMPANY shall pay to LICENSOR an amount representing the royalty which would have been paid by COMPANY in accordance with the provisions of Article 3.2 had such portion of the Recovery been accrued by COMPANY as Sales. Any remaining amounts of such Recovery that represents, for example, additional damages (such as enhanced or punitive damages) shall be paid (a) [* * *] to the extent the Recovery is attributable to infringement in the United States of Licensed Patents and (b) otherwise [* * *].
8.2 If COMPANY fails, within [* * *] days after receiving notice of a potential infringement that would or would be reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect the validity or enforceability of the Licensed Patents , to institute an action against such infringer or notifies LICENSOR that it does not plan to institute such action, then LICENSOR shall have the right to do so at its own expense unless COMPANY notifies LICENSOR that COMPANY is engaged in bona fide negotiations for the grant to the alleged infringer of a sublicense. COMPANY shall cooperate with LICENSOR in such effort including being joined as a party to such action if necessary. LICENSOR shall be entitled to retain all damages or costs awarded in such action. Should either LICENSOR or COMPANY be a party to a suit under the provisions of this Article and thereafter elect to abandon such suit, the abandoning party shall give timely notice to the other party who may, at its discretion, continue prosecution of such suit.

Copyright Infringement Contractor shall also indemnify, defend and hold harmless all Indemnitees from all suits or claims for infringement of the patent rights, copyright, trade secret, trade name, trademark, service xxxx, or any other proprietary right of any person or persons in consequence of the use by the City, or any of its boards, commissions, officers, or employees of articles, work or deliverables supplied in the performance of Services. Infringement of patent rights, copyrights, or other proprietary rights in the performance of this Agreement, if not the basis for indemnification under the law, shall nevertheless be considered a material breach of contract.
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.
Third Party Patent Rights If either Party desires to bring an opposition, action for declaratory judgment, nullity action, interference, declaration for non-infringement, reexamination or other attack upon the validity, title or enforceability of a Patent Right owned or controlled by a Third Party and having one or more claims that Cover the Compound or Product, or the use, sale, offer for sale or importation of the Compound or Product (except insofar as such action is a counterclaim to or defense of, or accompanies a defense of, a Third Party’s claim or assertion of infringement under Section 7.6, in which case the provisions of Section 7.6 shall govern), such Party shall so notify the other Party and the Parties shall promptly confer to determine whether to bring such action or the manner in which to settle such action. Provention shall have the exclusive right, but not the obligation, to bring, at its own expense and in its sole control, such action in the Territory. If Provention does not bring such an action in the Territory, within ninety (90) days of notification thereof pursuant to this Section 7.7(a) (or earlier, if required by the nature of the proceeding), MacroGenics shall have the right, but not the obligation, to bring, at MacroGenics’ own expense, such action. The Party not bringing an action under this Section 7.7(a) shall be entitled to separate representation in such proceeding by counsel of its own choice and at its own expense, and shall cooperate fully with the Party bringing such action. Any awards or amounts received in bringing any such action shall be first allocated to reimburse the initiating Party’s expenses in such action, and any remaining amounts shall be allocated between the Parties as provided in Section 7.5(e).
Infringement of Third Party Rights Each Party shall promptly notify the other in writing of any allegation by a Third Party that the activity of either of the Parties hereunder infringes or may infringe the intellectual property rights of such Third Party. Genentech shall have the first right but not the obligation to control any defense of any such claim involving alleged infringement of Third Party rights by Genentech’s activities under this Agreement at its own expense and by counsel of its own choice, and Curis shall have the right but not the obligation, at its own expense, to be represented in any such action by counsel of its own choice. If Genentech fails to proceed in a timely fashion with regard to such defense, Curis shall have the right but not the obligation to control any such defense of such claim at its own expense and by counsel of its own choice, and Genentech shall have the right but not the obligation, at its own expense, to be represented in any such action by counsel of its own choice. Curis shall have the first right but not the obligation to control any defense of any such claim involving alleged infringement of Third Party rights by Curis’ activities under this Agreement at its own expense and by counsel of its own choice, and Genentech shall have the right but not the obligation, at its own expense, to be represented in any such action by counsel of its own choice. If Curis fails to proceed in a timely fashion with regard to such defense, Genentech shall have the right but not the obligation to control any such defense of such claim at its own expense and by counsel of its own choice, and Curis shall have the right but not the obligation, at its own expense, to be represented in any such action by counsel of its own choice. Neither Party shall have the right to settle any infringement action under this Section 10.5 in a manner that diminishes the rights or interests of the other Party hereunder without the consent of such Party.
Patent Infringement 9.1 If either Party learns of the infringement of a Prospective Patent, in any jurisdiction within the Territory, it shall so inform the other Party in writing, including any evidence of such infringement. University may not notify a third party of the infringement of a Prospective Patent, save for its legal advisers, without first obtaining written consent of Licensee, which consent shall not be unreasonably denied or delayed. Both Parties shall use their reasonable commercial efforts in cooperation with each other to terminate such infringement.
9.2 Licensee shall have the sole right, but not the obligation, to institute, prosecute and control any action, suit or proceeding to enforce the Prospective Patent with respect to infringement of the Prospective Patent and to defend any declaratory judgment with respect thereto, in each case within the Territory (“Action”). University hereby agrees to assist and cooperate with Licensee, at Licensee’s expense (including payment for University’s expert’s time, and other expenses so long as such expenses are properly documented), to enable Licensee to prosecute and maintain such Action. University’s agreement to assist Licensee includes, at Licensee’s reasonable request and when it is required by law, government regulation or court order, University’s agreement to join or to procure its Affiliates to join as a nominal party to achieve sufficient legal standing for Licensee to prosecute and maintain such Action provided that, if University participates in the Action only as a nominal party, University shall have no responsibility (other than to join as a nominal party) nor be liable for any costs or expenses in relation to or arising from such Action. For clarity, such liabilities for costs or expenses shall be the responsibility of Licensee. If Licensee invites University or its Affiliates to take a more active role (other than as a nominal party) in an Action as a co-party, University shall have its sole discretion to decide joining or not and on terms to be agreed with Licensee on a case by case basis. Licensee shall have the right to settle any Action or consent to an adverse judgment thereto, in its sole discretion, except that Licensee may not settle such action by agreeing to the invalidation of a Prospective Patent or any claim therein without University’s prior written consent. Any recovery obtained as a result of an Action, whether by judgment, award, decree or settlement, shall first be applied to reimbursement of Licensee’s expenses in bringing such suit or proceeding (including any attorneys, expert and court fees), and the balance shall be considered to be Net Sales Value, and subject to the royalty payments at [***]% as set forth in Clause 5, and the remaining balance shall be recovered by Licensee as damages.
9.3 Subject to Clause 9.2, if University commences or defends any suit or proceedings on its own account, University shall do so at its own expense. University shall have the right to settle any such action or consent to an adverse judgment thereto, in its sole discretion, except that University may not settle such action that may impair, damage or otherwise adversely affect the licence granted to Licensee under Clause 2.1, Licensee’s use of such licence, any Licensed Product, or any of Licensee’s rights/obligations hereunder, without Licensee’s prior written consent, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Any recovery obtained as a result of such action, whether by judgment, award, decree, or settlement, shall first be applied to reimbursement of University’s expenses in bringing such suit or proceeding (including expert, attorneys and court fees), and the balance shall be distributed between University and Licensee at a ratio of 65:35 in all cases which do not result in a sub-licence to a third party. If a suit or proceedings result in a sub-licence to a third party, then any recovery, whether by judgment, award, decree, or settlement, shall first be applied to reimbursement of University’s expenses in bringing such suit or proceeding (including expert, attorneys and court fees), and the balance to be paid to Licensee, provided that such balance shall be shared between University and Licensee according to the provisions in Clause 5.3 herein.
