Each
of the parties shall promptly inform the other of any suspected
infringement of any Licensed Patents by a third party. During the

STANFORD and LICENSEE each shall have the right to institute an action
for
infringement
of the Licensed Patents against such third party in accordance with
the
following:
|
(a) |
If
STANFORD and LICENSEE agree to institute suit jointly, the suit shall

brought in both their names, the out-of-pocket costs thereof shall
be
borne equally, and any recovery or settlement shall be shared equally.

payment for past sales will be deemed to be Net Sales and LICENSEE
will
pay STANFORD royalties thereon at the rates specified in Section

2.
|
Any
payment which covers future sales will be deemed a sublicense and
royalties will be shared as specified in Article

|
LICENSEE
and STANFORD agree to negotiate in good faith an appropriate compensation to
STANFORD for any non-cash settlement or non-cash cross-license. STANFORD will
not share in the portion of the recovery, if any, that is payment for “willful
infringement.”
12.3
|
Should
either STANFORD or LICENSEE commence a suit under the provisions
of
Section 12.2 and thereafter elect to abandon the same, it shall give
