Any approval in accordance with the foregoing shall be handled at a high governance level by the Strategic Board. For the avoidance of doubt, the other Party has no obligation to provide any support regarding sublicensing/licensing of any rights connected to this Service Agreement to a Party providing a sublicense/license to a Third Party. 5.4 Suspected infringement.

If the Results Owner approves, it shall provide reasonable assistance to the other Party, as requested by the other Party at the other Party’s expense. If the Results Owner does not approve to the other Party taking such action, the issue should be escalated to the Strategic Board for decision.
