Intellectual Property The Company and the Subsidiaries have, or have rights to use, all patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark applications, service marks, trade names, trade secrets, inventions, copyrights, licenses and other intellectual property rights and similar rights necessary or required for use in connection with their respective businesses as described in the SEC Reports and which the failure to so have could have a Material Adverse Effect (collectively, the “Intellectual Property Rights”). None of, and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received a notice (written or otherwise) that any of, the Intellectual Property Rights has expired, terminated or been abandoned, or is expected to expire or terminate or be abandoned, within two (2) years from the date of this Agreement. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received, since the date of the latest audited financial statements included within the SEC Reports, a written notice of a claim or otherwise has any knowledge that the Intellectual Property Rights violate or infringe upon the rights of any Person, except as could not have or reasonably be expected to not have a Material Adverse Effect. To the knowledge of the Company, all such Intellectual Property Rights are enforceable and there is no existing infringement by another Person of any of the Intellectual Property Rights. The Company and its Subsidiaries have taken reasonable security measures to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value of all of their intellectual properties, except where failure to do so could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
Trademarks, Patents and Copyrights (i) If applicable, the Grantor has duly executed and delivered the Collateral Assignment for Security (Trademarks) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, the Collateral Assignment for Security (Patents) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B or the Collateral Assignment for Security (Copyrights) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C. The Grantor (either itself or through licensees) will, and will cause each licensee thereof to, take all action necessary to maintain all of the Trademarks, Patents and Copyrights in full force and effect, including, without limitation, using the proper statutory notices and markings and using the Trademarks on each applicable trademark class of goods in order to so maintain the Trademarks in full force free from any claim of abandonment for non-use, and the Grantor will not (and will not permit any licensee thereof to) do any act or knowingly omit to do any act whereby any Trademark, Patent or Copyright may become invalidated; provided, however, that so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Grantor shall have no obligation to use or to maintain any Trademark, Patent or Copyright (A) that relates solely to any product or work that has been, or is in the process of being, discontinued, abandoned or terminated, (B) that is being replaced with a trademark, patent or copyright substantially similar to the Trademark, Patent or Copyright, as the case may be, that may be abandoned or otherwise become invalid, so long as such replacement Trademark, Patent or Copyright, as the case may be, is subject to the security interest purported to be created by this Agreement, (C) that is substantially the same as another Trademark, Patent or Copyright that is in full force, so long as such other Trademark, Patent or Copyright, as the case may be, is subject to the Lien and security interest created by this Agreement, or (D) that is not necessary for the operation of the Grantor's business and is discontinued or disposed of in the ordinary course of business. The Grantor will cause to be taken all necessary steps in any proceeding before the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United
Trademarks, Patents Borrower, as of the date hereof, possesses all necessary trademarks, trade names, copyrights, patents, patent rights, and licenses to conduct its business as now operated, without any known conflict with the valid trademarks, trade names, copyrights, patents and license rights of others.
Licensed Intellectual Property Section 3.17(h)(vi)...................................29
Intellectual Property Licenses Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the TSA, and except as otherwise provided in Section 5.13 of the SPA, it shall be the responsibility of the Receiving Party (at the Receiving Party’s sole cost and expense) to obtain all licenses associated with the use of third party intellectual property, including but not limited to copyrights (e.g., software), trademarks and patents (and/or consents and extensions relating to such licenses), if any, necessary for the provision of Services to the Receiving Party during the Term. The Service Provider agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Receiving Party in its negotiations with any licensors from whom the Receiving Party may require such a license (or consent or extension) during the Term. In the event the Receiving Party is unable to obtain a necessary license, consent or extension, the Services related to such license shall be removed from the scope of the TSA, without a reduction in fees or payments owed by the Receiving Party under the TSA. In all events, and in addition to (and not in limitation of) any similar rights that the Service Provider may have under the TSA, the Receiving Party shall indemnify, defend and hold the Service Provider harmless from and against any actions, liabilities and/or claims relating to the licenses and the license matters discussed in this provision. The Receiving Party’s obligation to pay any fees under this Section 1.5 shall apply whether or not such claims for fees arise from the Receiving Party’s continued or past access to or benefit from third party intellectual property. The Receiving Party also acknowledges the Service Provider’s right to initiate discussion with third party licensors that may involve the Receiving Party’s use of intellectual property. All negotiated agreements with third party licensors for the future use of or rights to intellectual property and associated services shall be at the cost of the Service Provider, provided that the Receiving Party shall bear the cost of incremental third party use fees which are specifically identified in the agreements with the third party licensors and which relate solely to the Receiving Party’s use (“Incremental License Fees”). Such Incremental License Fees shall be approved in advance in writing by the Receiving Party, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
Technology and Intellectual Property (a) Schedule 2.22(a) sets forth a complete and correct list of all (i) registered trademarks, service marks, domain names, copyrights and patents; (ii) applications for registration or grant of any of the foregoing; (iii) unregistered trademarks, service marks, trade names, logos and assumed names; and (iv) licenses for any of the foregoing, in each case, owned by or for the benefit of the Company or a Company Subsidiary, or used in or necessary to conduct the Company’s or a Company Subsidiary’s business as presently conducted. The items on Schedule 2.22(a), together with all other trademarks, service marks, trade names, logos, assumed names, patents, copyrights, trade secrets, computer software, licenses, formulae, customer lists or other databases, business application designs and inventions currently used in or necessary to conduct the businesses of the Company or of a Company Subsidiary, constitute the “Intellectual Property.”
Copyrights, Patents, Trademarks and Licenses, etc The Company and each Subsidiary own or are licensed or otherwise have the right to use all of the material patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, contractual franchises, authorizations and other rights that are reasonably necessary for the operation of their respective businesses, without material conflict with the rights of any other Person. To the best knowledge of the Company, no slogan or other advertising device, product, process, method, substance, part or other material now employed, or now contemplated to be employed, by the Company or any Subsidiary infringes upon any rights held by any other Person. Except as specifically disclosed in Schedule 6.5, no claim or litigation regarding any of the foregoing is pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened, and no patent, invention, device, application, principle or any statute, law, rule, regulation, standard or code is pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, proposed, which, in either case, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Background Intellectual Property Notwithstanding and superseding anything to the contrary in this ARTICLE 14, each Party retains title to all Intellectual Property Rights owned or possessed by it or any of its affiliates prior to or independent of performance of this Agreement and used by it in fulfilling its obligations under this Agreement, as well as any modifications or improvements made thereto in the course of performing this Agreement (“Background IP”). To the extent that one Party acquires any right, title, or interest in and to any aspect of the modifications or improvements to the Background IP of the other Party, such first Party shall assign such right, title, and interest to the second Party, immediately following such acquisition. If any of the Supplier’s Background IP is included in or required to use the Documentation provided by the Supplier to the City, the Supplier hereby grants to the City an irrevocable, perpetual, fully paid-up, royalty-free, worldwide, transferable and non-exclusive licence (including the right to sub-licence only to members of the City’s Group) to, itself and through contractors and agents, use, copy, amend, reproduce, modify, create derivative works of, use, commercialize, and otherwise exploit the Supplier’s Background IP but only to the extent required to use such Documentation for the purpose (or any reasonably inferred purpose) for which it has been provided or for the provision of the Supply under this Agreement (excluding any software source code).
