Licensed Intellectual Property Section 3.17(h)(vi)...................................29
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.
Intellectual Property, etc Each of Holdings and each of its Subsidiaries owns or has the right to use all domestic and foreign patents, trademarks, permits, domain names, service marks, trade names, copyrights, licenses, franchises, inventions, trade secrets, proprietary information and know-how of any type, whether or not written (including, but not limited to, rights in computer programs and databases) and formulas, or other rights with respect to the foregoing, and has obtained assignments of all leases, licenses and other rights of whatever nature, in each case necessary for the conduct of its business, without any known conflict with the rights of others which, or the failure to obtain which, as the case may be, individually or in the aggregate, has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect.
Intellectual Properties To the extent permissible under applicable law, all intellectual properties made or conceived by Employee during the term of this employment by Employer shall be the right and property solely of Employer, whether developed independently by Employee or jointly with others. The Employee will sign the Employer’s standard Employee Innovation, Proprietary Information and Confidentiality Agreement (“Confidentiality Agreement”).
Company Intellectual Property The Executive agrees to promptly disclose to the Company any and all work product, inventions, artistic works, works of authorship, designs, methods, processes, technology, patterns, techniques, data, Confidential Information, patents, trade secrets, trademarks, domain names, copyrights, and the like, and all other intellectual property relating to the business of the Company and any of its affiliates which are created, authored, composed, invented, discovered, performed, perfected, or learned by the Executive (either solely or jointly with others) during the Employment Term (collectively, together with such intellectual property as may be owned or acquired by the Company, the “Company Intellectual Property”). The Company Intellectual Property shall be the sole and absolute property of the Company and its affiliates. All work performed by the Executive in authoring, composing, inventing, creating, developing or modifying Company Intellectual Property and/or other work product to which copyright protection may attach during the course of the Executive’s employment with the Company shall be considered “works made for hire” to the extent permitted under applicable copyright law and will be considered the sole property of the Company. To the extent such works, work product or Company Intellectual Property are not considered “works made for hire,” all right, title, and interest to such works, work product and Company Intellectual Property, including, but not limited to, all copyrights, patents, trademarks, rights of publicity, and trade secrets, is hereby assigned to the Company and the Executive agrees, at the Company’s expense, to execute any documents requested by the Company or any of its affiliates at any time in relation to such assignment. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Company is and will be the sole and absolute owner of all trademarks, service marks, domain names, patents, copyrights, trade dress, trade secrets, business names, rights of publicity, inventions, proprietary know-how and information of any type, whether or not in writing, and all other intellectual property used by the Company or held for use in the business of the Company, including all Company Intellectual Property. The Executive further acknowledges and agrees that any and all derivative works, developments, or improvements based on intellectual property, materials and assets subject to this Section 6 created during the Employment Term (including, without limitation, Company Intellectual Property) shall be exclusively owned by the Company. The Executive will cooperate with the Company and any of its affiliates, at no additional cost to such parties (whether during or after the Employment Term), in the confirmation, registration, protection and enforcement of the rights and property of the Company and its affiliates in such intellectual property, materials and assets, including, without limitation, the Company Intellectual Property.
Background Intellectual Property It is possible that one or both Parties may possess rights in background intellectual property, that is, intellectual property not otherwise subject to this Agreement, which would be useful or essential to the practice or commercialization of the results of this Agreement. For example, the RI might own a patent which would be infringed by the SBC when it attempted to commercialize the results of this Agreement unless a license was obtained from the RI. Where the Parties determine that background technology may exist, consideration should be given to negotiating license rights which will allow the practice and commercialization of the results of this Agreement.

In consideration of University not Implementing the Joint Intellectual Property except for the limited purposes set forth in this paragraph, Company agrees to Implement any Joint Intellectual Property only in accordance with a license agreement to be entered into by Company and University with respect to the Implementation of such Joint Intellectual Property. Company shall pay to University, in connection with such Implementation, a compensatory royalty in accordance with such license agreement to be agreed by the Parties.
9.2 University agrees to not grant to any third party a license to Implement its rights in the Joint Intellectual Property without Company’s prior written consent. Notwithstanding anything contrary herein provided, University may grant to a third party a license to use the Joint Intellectual Property without Company’s prior written consent in the following cases:
(i) if Company fails to execute a license agreement with University pursuant to Article 9.1 without any reasonable cause within three years from the Completion Date, or otherwise seeks to Implement any such Joint Intellectual Property other than pursuant to any such license agreement; or
(ii) if Company fails to pay any compensatory royalty in accordance with the license agreement entered into pursuant to Article 9.1.

(a) The University or a third party may own or have a licence to use Other Intellectual Property created pursuant to a written agreement with a third party, provided that the University advises the Creator of his/her right to consult with the Association prior to the Creator’s execution of a written agreement and obtains the Creator’s written consent;
(b) The Creator may voluntarily assign or licence his/her interest in Other Intellectual Property to the University, provided that the University advises the Creator of his/her right to consult with the Association prior to the execution of the assignment or licence. No such assignment or licence shall diminish the Creator’s right to revenue sharing under this Article;
(c) Where the use of University services as defined in 14.1.9 did not have a significant effect on the creation of Other Intellectual Property, the use of such services shall not be taken into account in determining ownership of the Other Intellectual Property.

The University agrees to keep all such information confidential and not to disclose such information externally, except with the prior written consent of the Creator.
