PATENTS AND INFRINGEMENT
|
5.1 During the terms of this Agreement and any Exclusive License Agreement (if such agreements are executed by and between the Parties) LICENSEE shall control the development, filing, prosecution and maintenance of the Patent Rights; provided, however, that (i) all filings shall be made in the name and for the benefit of WVURC, (ii) LICENSEE shall provide WVURC with a reasonable opportunity to review and provide input with respect to any patent applications, confirmations, divisionals or related applications with respect to the Subject Technology prior to the filing thereof, and (iii) LICENSEE shall not make any substantive decision with respect to the filing, prosecution, and maintenance of the Patent Rights without first obtaining the consent of WVURC, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.
5.2 LICENSEE agrees to pay all costs incident to filing, prosecuting and maintaining the Patent Rights in the United States and elected foreign countries, and any and all costs incurred in filing continuations, divisionals or related applications thereon and any re-examination or reissue proceedings thereof during the term of this Agreement.
5.3 LICENSEE agrees to keep WVURC and its patent counsel fully informed of all prosecutions and other actions pursuant to this Section 5, including submitting to WVURC copies of all official actions and responses thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing LICENSEE shall select all outside counsel for the prosecution of the Patent Rights.
5.4 In the event that LICENSEE decides not to pay for costs associated with either (i) the prosecution of any patent application that forms a part of the Patent Rights to issuance or (ii) maintenance of any United States or foreign issued patent on any invention that forms a part of the Patent Rights, LICENSEE shall timely notify WVURC of such decision, which notice shall constitute an irrevocable waiver of LICENSEE’S rights therein, if any, including, without limitation, improvements thereto, and WVURC shall have the right to assume said costs and the prosecution and maintenance of such patent or patents. LICENSEE’S right to practice the invention under such patent shall immediately terminate upon the giving of such notice. If LICENSEE fails to notify WVURC in sufficient time for WVURC to assume said costs prior to the abandonment or expiration of any Patent Rights, LICENSEE shall be considered in default of this Agreement.

5.5 Each Party shall promptly inform the other of any suspected infringement of any claims in the Patent Rights or the misuse, misappropriation, theft or breach of confidence of other proprietary rights in the Subject Technology by a third party, and with respect to such activities as are suspected, LICENSEE shall have the right, but not the obligation, to institute an action for infringement, misuse, misappropriation, theft or breach of confidence of the proprietary rights against such third party. If LICENSEE fails to bring such an action or proceeding within a period of three (3) months after receiving notice or otherwise having knowledge of such infringement, then WVURC shall have the right, but not the obligation, to prosecute the same at its own expense. Should either WVURC or LICENSEE commence suit under the provisions of this Section 5.5 and thereafter elect to abandon the same, it shall give timely notice to the other Party who may, if it so desires, continue prosecution of such action or proceeding. All recoveries, whether by judgment, award, decree or settlement, from infringement or misuse of Subject Technology shall be apportioned as follows: the Party bringing the action or proceeding shall first recover an amount equal to the costs and expenses actually incurred by such Party directly related to the prosecution of such action or proceeding, and the remainder shall be divided equally between LICENSEE and WVURC. WVURC and LICENSEE may agree, at any time before or during the prosecution of any such action or proceeding, to jointly bring or continue the action. Such joint action shall be brought in the names of both WVURC and LICENSEE. If WVURC and LICENSEE decide to jointly prosecute an action or proceeding after it has been instituted, the action shall be continued in the name or names they both agree is expedient for efficient prosecution of such action. In the event of such joint action or proceeding, the out-of-pocket costs shall be borne equally, and any recovery or settlement shall be shared equally. LICENSEE and WVURC shall agree to the manner in which they shall exercise control over any joint action or proceeding. In the absence of such agreement, LICENSEE shall control such joint action or proceeding. WVURC may elect to be represented by separate counsel of its own selection in such joint action or proceeding, the fees for which counsel shall be paid by WVURC.
5.6 Neither WVURC nor LICENSEE shall settle any action covered by Section 5.5 without first obtaining the consent of the other Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.
5.7 WVURC shall not be liable for any losses incurred as the result of an action for infringement brought against LICENSEE as the result of LICENSEE’s exercise of any right granted under this Agreement. The decision to defend or not defend shall be in LICENSEE’s sole discretion.

12.2 Publication. WVURC retains the right to publish or otherwise publicly disclose information it has gained in the course of research sponsored by LICENSEE under any Sponsored Research Agreement (if such agreement is executed by and between the Parties) in professional journals, meeting seminars, and the like. Appropriate recognition of LICENSEE’S support will be included in all such reports. However, in recognition of LICENSEE’S interest in WVURC’s patent protection, WVURC shall provide LICENSEE with the final draft of any manuscript describing studies within the Field and resulting from research sponsored under any Sponsored Research Agreement at least thirty (30) days prior to publication.
12.3 Mutual Confidentiality. LICENSEE and WVURC realize that some information received by one Party from the other pursuant to this Agreement shall be confidential. It is therefore agreed that any information received by one Party from the other and designated in writing as “Confidential” at the time of the transfer, shall not be disclosed by either Party to any third party without the other Party’s prior written consent unless or until (i) said information shall become known to third persons or shall become publicly known through no fault of the receiving Party, (ii) said information was already in the receiving Party’s possession prior to the disclosure of said information to the receiving Party, (iii) said information shall be subsequently disclosed to the receiving Party by a third party who is not under any obligation of confidentiality to the disclosing Party, or (iv) said information is required to be disclosed by court rule or governmental law or regulation, provided that the receiving Party gives the disclosing Party prompt notice of any such requirement and cooperates with the disclosing Party in attempting to limit such disclosure.
