2.1 Perpetual, Irrevocable and Exclusive License. Licensor, hereby grants to Licensee an exclusive (even as to Licensor, Parent and their Affiliates), worldwide************************** ************* fully transferable license or sublicense (as the case may be), ********************* **************************** in and to all of its and their right, title and interest under the Licensed Patents, Licensed Know-How and Licensed Regulatory Exclusivity Periods, in the Field. Licensor, hereby agrees that such license or sublicense (as the case may be) shall, without any further action by any Person, include all IP in the Field created or conceived subsequent to the Effective Date of this Agreement by or on behalf of Licensor or any of its Affiliates immediately upon such IP’s conception or creation (unless and to the extent assigned to Licensee by operation of law of contract).
2.2 Restrictions. Licensor shall not grant any rights in or to, or provide to any Person other than Licensee, any IP in a manner inconsistent or otherwise in conflict with the terms of this Agreement. Except pursuant to this Agreement, Licensor shall not, nor cause or allow any of its Affiliates or any Third Party, to Exploit Antibody A, Products, or any other antibody, protein binder or biological in the
EXCLUSIVE LICENSE AGREEMENT
Field, or to provide to any Person any of the same or any Biological Materials primarily specific thereto, or otherwise to take any action competitive with or to Antibody A or Products.
Section 3. Licensed Know-How.
3.1 Transfer. During the thirty (30) day period following the Effective Date, Licensor shall provide to Licensee one (1) electronic copy of all documents, data or other information in Licensor’s possession or control that describe or contain Licensed Know-How. Licensor shall provide and transfer to Licensee in the same manner all additional Licensed Know-How that may from time to time become available to Licensor. Licensor shall update Exhibit B as Licensee may reasonably request.
3.2 Confidentiality. To the extent that any Licensed Know-How is primarily specific to the Field, Licensor shall neither use such Licensed Know-How except for performing this Agreement, nor shall Licensor disclose or provide such Licensed Know-How to any Person other than Licensee.
Section 4. Licensed Patents. 4.1 Prosecution.
(a)
On or before thirty (30) days following the Effective Date, Licensor shall provide Licensee with copies of complete prosecution files for all Licensed Patents. Licensor hereby delegates to Licensee the exclusive right (but not obligation) to prepare filings for, prosecute (including controlling all interferences, oppositions, reissue proceedings and re-examinations) and maintain all Licensed Patents primarily specific to the Field (each a “Field Specific Licensed Patent”). Licensor and Licensee shall share equally the expenses related to such filings, prosecutions and maintenance. Licensor shall be responsible for the same activities for all other Licensed Patents (each a “Non-Field Specific Patent”) and be solely responsible for all expenses associated therewith. The prosecuting Party shall keep the other Party fully informed as to the status of such patent matters, including by providing the other Party the opportunity to review and comment on any documents relating to the Licensed Patents which shall be filed in any patent office at least fifteen (15) days before such filing and promptly providing such other Party with copies of any documents relating to the Licensed Patents that such controlling Party receives from any patent office. Each Party shall be responsible for all its costs incurred for such preparation, prosecution and maintenance. Upon Licensee’s reasonable request, Licensor shall update Exhibit C.
Licensor shall not permit any of the Licensed Patents to be abandoned in any country without Licensee first being given an opportunity to assume full responsibility for the continued prosecution and maintenance of same. In the event that Licensor decides not to continue the prosecution or maintenance of any Licensed Patent in any country, or to permit an allowed patent application that is a Licensed Patent to issue without there being a pending patent application with at least the same disclosure and specification claiming priority (directly or indirectly) to such allowed patent application, Licensor shall provide Licensee with notice of this decision at least thirty (30) days prior to any lapse, abandonment or issuance thereof. In the event that Licensee elects to assume responsibility for such prosecution and maintenance within thirty (30) days of Licensor’s notice, or to file a patent application to maintain pendency, such Licensed Patent (including any later filed Patent Rights claiming priority (directly or indirectly) thereto) shall thereafter be treated as a “Field Specific Licensed Patent” hereunder, except that Licensee shall have no obligation to prosecute or maintain Valid Claims that apply outside of the Field (in whole or in part).
In addition to the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.1, the Parties agree that, upon Licensee’s reasonable request, on a country-by-country basis, Licensor shall file a patent application at Licensee’s expense claiming priority to any Licensed Patent for Licensee to prosecute and maintain such patent application as a Field Specific Licensed Patent hereunder.
