Article 4. Reports
4.1 | Interim Research and Development Reports. The NIH CRADA Extramural Investigator/Officers and CRADA Collaborator PIs should exchange information regularly (e.g., at least [ * ], or as appropriate for the stage of the research being conducted under the CRADA), in writing. This exchange may be accomplished through meeting minutes, detailed correspondence, circulation of draft manuscripts, Steering Committee reports, copies of Annual Reports and any other reports updating the progress of the CRADA research. However, the Parties must exchange updated Investigator’s Brochure, safety, formulation and preclinical data, and toxicology findings related to the Investigational Agent as they become available. |
4.2 | Final Research and Development Reports. IC will provide to Collaborator final reports of the results of all studies conducted under the Research Plan as they become available and, for those final reports that have not been provided by IC during the term of the CRADA, within six (6) months after the expiration or termination of this CRADA. These reports will set forth the technical progress made; any publications arising from the research; and the existence of invention disclosures of potential CRADA Subject Inventions and/or any corresponding Patent Applications. [ * ]. |
4.3 | Fiscal Reports. If Collaborator has agreed to provide funding to IC under this CRADA and upon the request of Collaborator, then concurrent with the provision of final research and development reports according to Paragraph 4.2, IC will submit to Collaborator a statement of all costs incurred by IC for the CRADA. If the CRADA has been terminated, IC will specify any costs incurred before the date of termination for which IC has not received funds from Collaborator in accordance with Paragraph 5.3, as well as for all reasonable termination costs including the cost of returning Collaborator property or removal of abandoned Collaborator property, for which Collaborator will be responsible. |
4.4 | Safety Reports. DCTD shall report all serious and unexpected possible, probable and definite Adverse Events to the FDA in accordance with the reporting obligations of 21 CFR 312.32 and will, within 24 hours of notification to the FDA, forward a copy of all such reports to Collaborator. All other Adverse Event reports received by DCTD shall be reported to the FDA consistent with 21 CFR 312.32 and 312.33. DCTD will forward a copy of such reports to Collaborator (xxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxx.xxx) within 24 hours of providing such reports to the FDA. In the event that Collaborator informs the FDA or any other regulatory authority of any serious and unexpected Adverse Events, Collaborator must notify the NCI within 24 hours of informing the FDA or any other regulatory authority of such Adverse Events by sending the reports to XXXXXxxxxxxXX@xxxx-xxx.xxx. NCI will then notify the Clinical Investigator(s) conducting studies under DCTD-sponsored Protocols, if appropriate. |
4.5 | Annual Reports. DCTD will provide to Collaborator a copy of the Annual Report concurrently with the submission of the Annual Report to the FDA. Such Annual Reports will be CRADA Data, and will be kept confidential by the Parties in accordance with Article 8. Collaborator will provide DCTD with a copy of its Annual Report to the FDA if Collaborator is sponsoring studies of Investigational Agent under its own IND outside the scope of the Research Plan, which Annual Report will be Collaborator Confidential Information. |
Article 5. Staffing, Financial, and Materials Obligations
5.1 | IC and Collaborator Contributions. The contributions of any staff, funds, materials, and equipment by the Parties are set forth in Appendix B.

5.2 | IC Staffing. No IC employees will devote 100% of their effort or time to the research and development activities under this CRADA. IC will not use funds provided by Collaborator under this CRADA for IC personnel to pay the salary of any permanent IC employee. Although personnel hired by IC using CRADA funds will focus principally on CRADA research and development activities, Collaborator acknowledges that these personnel may nonetheless make contributions to other research and development activities, and the activities will be outside the scope of this CRADA. IC personnel will not use the Investigational Agent to perform any research and development activities outside the scope of this CRADA. |
5.3 | Collaborator Funding. Collaborator acknowledges that Government funds received by Collaborator from an agency of the Department of Health and Human Services may not be used to fund IC under this CRADA. If Collaborator has agreed to provide funds to IC then the payment schedule appears in Appendix B and Collaborator will make payments according to that schedule. If Collaborator fails to make any scheduled payment, IC will not be obligated to perform any of the research and development activities specified herein or to take any other action required by this CRADA until the funds are received. IC will use these funds exclusively for the purposes of this CRADA. IC will maintain separate and distinct current accounts, records, and other evidence supporting its financial obligations under this CRADA and, upon written request, will provide to the Collaborator a Fiscal Report according to Paragraph 4.3, which delineates all payments made and all obligated expenses, along with the Final Research Report described in Paragraph 4.2. |
5.4 | Capital Equipment. Collaborator’s commitment, if any, to provide IC with capital equipment to enable the research and development activities under the Research Plan appears in Appendix B. If Collaborator transfers to IC the capital equipment or provides funds for IC to purchase it, then IC will own the equipment. If Collaborator loans capital equipment to IC for use during the CRADA, Collaborator will be responsible for paying all costs and fees associated with the transport, installation, maintenance, repair, removal, or disposal of the equipment, and IC will not be liable for any damage to the equipment. |
Article 6. Intellectual Property
6.1 | Ownership of CRADA Subject Inventions, CRADA Data, and CRADA Materials. Subject to the Collaborator option described in Paragraph 7.2, the Government license described in Paragraph 7.5, the sharing requirements and the regulatory filing requirements of Paragraphs 8.1 and 8.2, the producing Party will retain sole ownership of and title to all CRADA Subject Inventions, all copies of CRADA Data, Raw Data and all CRADA Materials, in each case produced solely by its employee(s) or, in the case of Collaborator, produced solely by Collaborator’s employees, contractors or agents. The Parties will own jointly (with each owning an undivided interest) all CRADA Subject Inventions invented jointly by IC employees together with employees, contractors or agents of Collaborator (“Joint CRADA Subject Inventions”) and all CRADA Materials developed jointly by one or more IC employees and one or more of Collaborator’s employees, contractors or agents. The rights of any NCI Extramural Investigator in data it generates will not be affected by this CRADA. The Parties acknowledge that the individuals performing DCTD Clinical Support Assays will be NCI Intramural Investigators or will be IC contractors who are obligated to assign any and all CRADA Subject Inventions and related intellectual property to NIH, in which case such CRADA Subject Inventions and related intellectual property are subject to the Collaborator option described in Paragraph 7.2. |
6.2 | Reporting. The Parties will promptly report to each other in writing each CRADA Subject Invention reported by their respective personnel, and any Patent Applications filed thereon, resulting from the research and development activities conducted under this CRADA. Each Party will report all CRADA Subject Inventions to the other Party in sufficient detail to determine inventorship, which will be determined in accordance with U.S. patent law. These reports will be treated as Confidential Information in |

[ * ] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
accordance with Article 8. Formal reports will be made by and to the Patenting and Licensing Offices identified on the Contacts Information Page herein.
6.3 | Filing of Patent Applications. Each Party will make timely decisions regarding the filing of Patent Applications on the CRADA Subject Inventions made solely by its employee(s), and will notify the other Party in advance of filing. Collaborator will have the first opportunity to file a Patent Application on Joint CRADA Subject Inventions and will notify PHS of its decision whether to file within [ * ] of the applicable Invention being reported or at least thirty (30) days before any patent filing deadline, whichever occurs sooner. If Collaborator fails to notify PHS of its decision within that time period or notifies PHS of its decision not to file a Patent Application, then PHS has the right to file a Patent Application on the Joint CRADA Subject Invention. Neither Party will be obligated to file a Patent Application. However, if PHS elects not to file a Patent Application on a CRADA Subject Invention made solely by IC employees, PHS may agree to permit Collaborator, at Collaborator’s election and expense, to undertake the preparation, filing, prosecution, and maintenance of such Patent Application and PHS will execute all documents and take such other acts reasonably necessary to enable Collaborator to assume responsibility for filing, prosecuting, and maintaining such Patent Application and any resulting Patents. Such permissions will be at the discretion of the NIH XXX and will not be unreasonably withheld. In the event that PHS elects to file a Patent Application on a CRADA Subject Invention made solely by IC employees, PHS agrees to use reasonable efforts to discuss a patent filing strategy with Collaborator reasonably in advance of filing such Patent Application. Collaborator will place the following statement in any Patent Application it files on a CRADA Subject Invention: “This invention was created in the performance of a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement with the National Institutes of Health, an Agency of the Department of Health and Human Services. The Government of the United States has certain rights in this invention.” If either Party files a Patent Application on a Joint CRADA Subject Invention, then the filing Party will include a statement within the Patent Application that clearly identifies the Parties and states that the Joint CRADA Subject Invention was made under this CRADA. |
6.4 | Patent Expenses. Unless agreed otherwise, the Party filing a Patent Application will pay all preparation and filing expenses, prosecution fees, issuance fees, post issuance fees, patent maintenance fees, annuities, interference expenses, and attorneys’ fees for that Patent Application and any resulting Patent(s). However, a Party will have the right to elect to cease prosecuting a Patent Application or maintaining any resulting Patent(s) directed to a Joint CRADA Subject Invention, provided that such Party provides at least[ * ] notice to the other Party of such election and, if requested by the other Party, executes all documents and takes such other acts reasonably necessary (e.g., assign its interest) to enable the other Party to assume, at the other Party’s expense, the responsibility for filing, prosecuting, and maintaining the Patent Application and any resulting Patent(s). If a license to any CRADA Subject Invention is granted to Collaborator pursuant to Paragraph 7.2(a)(i), 7.2(a)(ii) or Paragraph 7.2(c), then Collaborator will be responsible for all out-of-pocket expenses and fees, past and future, in connection with the preparation, filing, prosecution, and maintenance of any Patent Applications and Patents claiming exclusively licensed CRADA Subject Inventions and will be responsible for a pro-rated share, divided equally among all licensees, of those out-of-pocket expenses and fees for non-exclusively licensed CRADA Subject Inventions. Collaborator may waive its non-exclusive or exclusive option rights or disclaim its exclusive or non-exclusive license for Patent Application(s) or Patent(s) at any time with respect to one or more countries, and incur no subsequent financial obligation for those Patent Application(s) or Patent(s). |
6.5 | Prosecution of Patent Applications. Except with respect to CRADA Subject Inventions conceived and reduced to practice solely by Collaborator’s employees, contractors or agents, the Party filing a Patent Application for a CRADA Subject Invention will provide the non-filing Party with a copy of any official communication relating to prosecution of the Patent Application within [ * ] of transmission of the communication. Each Party will also provide the other Party, at the other Party’s request, with copies of material documents retained in the applicable Patent Application or Patent file for such Invention. The |

Parties agree to consult with each other regarding the prosecution of Patent Applications directed to CRADA Subject Inventions made solely by IC employees and CRADA Subject Inventions made jointly by IC employees together with employees, contractors or agents of the Collaborator. If Collaborator elects to file and prosecute Patent Applications on Joint CRADA Subject Inventions, then Collaborator agrees to use the U.S.P.T.O. Customer Number Practice and/or grant PHS a power(s) of attorney (or equivalent) necessary to assure PHS access to its intellectual property rights in these Patent Applications. PHS and Collaborator will cooperate with each other to obtain necessary signatures on Patent Applications, assignments, or other documents.
Article 7. Licensing
7.1 | Background Inventions. Other than as specifically stated in this Article 7, nothing in this CRADA will be construed to grant any rights in one Party’s Background Invention(s) to the other Party, except to the extent necessary for the Parties to conduct the research and development activities described in the Research Plan during the term of the CRADA. |
7.2 | Collaborator’s License Option to CRADA Subject Inventions. With respect to Government rights to any CRADA Subject Invention made solely by an IC employee(s) or a Joint CRADA Subject Invention for which a Patent Application has been filed, PHS hereby offers to the Collaborator the following options and grants: |
7.2(a). For CRADA Subject Inventions that would be described in Patent Applications that claim the use and/or the composition of the Investigational Agent(s): PHS hereby grants to Collaborator: (i) an option to elect a royalty-free (except for patent prosecution and maintenance fees for Patent Applications and Patents claiming such Inventions, which will be pro-rated and divided equally among all licensees), world-wide, non-exclusive license for commercial purposes with the right to sublicense to Affiliates or collaborators working on behalf of Collaborator for Collaborator’s development purposes; (ii) a time limited option to negotiate an exclusive, or co-exclusive, if applicable, world-wide, royalty bearing license for commercial purposes, including the right to grant sublicenses, on terms to be negotiated in good faith by the Collaborator(s) and PHS; and (iii) at Collaborator’s request, a paid-up, nonexclusive, royalty-free, world-wide license for research purposes only. NIH retains the right to make and use any Inventions covered by this Paragraph 7.2(a) for all non-profit research, including for educational purposes and to permit other educational and non-profit institutions to do so.
7.2(b). For CRADA Subject Inventions pursuant to research under this CRADA not covered under Paragraph 7.2(a), including those that use non-publicly available CRADA Data or specimens from patients treated with Investigational Agent under the CRADA, (including specimens obtained from NCI CTEP-funded tissue banks) PHS hereby grants to Collaborator: (i) a paid-up nonexclusive, nontransferable, royalty-free, world-wide license for research purposes only; and (ii) a nonexclusive, royalty-free, world-wide license to (a) disclose such Inventions to a regulatory authority when seeking marketing authorization of the Investigational Agent, and (b) disclose such Inventions on a product insert or other promotional material regarding the Investigational Agent after having obtained marketing authorization from a regulatory authority. Notwithstanding the above, PHS is under no obligation to file a Patent Application or maintain patent prosecution for any such Inventions.
7.2(c). In addition, for Inventions made by NIH’s Intramural Investigator(s) or any other employees or agents of IC, which are or may be patentable or otherwise protectable, as a result of research utilizing the Investigational Agent(s), unreleased or non-publicly available CRADA Data or Investigational Agent-treated specimens outside the scope of approval granted by the NCI CTEP (Unauthorized Inventions): PHS agrees, at Collaborator's request, to grant to Collaborator a royalty-free (except for all out of pocket Patent prosecution and maintenance costs for Patent Applications and Patents claiming such inventions, which

will be pro-rated and divided equally among all licensees) exclusive or co-exclusive commercial license to Unauthorized Inventions. NIH will retain a non-exclusive, sublicensable royalty free license to practice such Inventions for Government purposes.
7.2(d). In addition to the license options to CRADA Subject Invention(s) contained in Paragraphs 7.2(b) and 7.2(c) above, PHS hereby grants to Collaborator an exclusive option to CRADA Subject Inventions to elect an exclusive or nonexclusive commercialization license to such Inventions. The field of use of this license option will not exceed the scope of the Research Plan.
7.3 | Exercise of Collaborator’s License Option. To exercise the option(s) or grant(s) set forth in Paragraph 7.2, Collaborator must submit a written notice to the PHS Patenting and Licensing Contact identified on the Contacts Information Page (and provide a copy to the IC Contact for CRADA Notices) within three (3) months after either (i) Collaborator receives written notice from PHS that a Patent Application has been filed or (ii) the date on which Collaborator files a Patent Application. The written notice exercising the option(s) will include a completed “Application for License to Public Health Service Inventions” and will initiate a negotiation period that expires [ * ] after the date of exercise of the option. If PHS has not responded in writing to the last proposal by Collaborator within this [ * ] period, the negotiation period will be extended to expire one (1) month after PHS so responds, during which month Collaborator may accept in writing the final license proposal of PHS. If PHS and Collaborator fail to reach agreement within [ * ], (or such additional period as described above) on the terms for an exclusive license for a particular Paragraph 7.2(a) Invention, then for a period of [ * ] thereafter PHS agrees not to offer to license the Paragraph 7.2(a) Invention to any third party on materially better terms than those last offered to Collaborator without first offering such terms to Collaborator, in which case Collaborator will have a period of [ * ] in which to accept or reject the offer. In the absence of Collaborator’s exercise of the option with respect to a CRADA Subject Invention, or upon election of a nonexclusive license to such Invention, PHS will be free to license the CRADA Subject Invention to others. These time periods may be extended at the sole discretion of PHS upon good cause shown in writing by Collaborator, provided that [ * ]. |
7.4 | Government License in IC Sole CRADA Subject Inventions and Joint CRADA Subject Inventions. Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. § 3710a(b)(1)(A), for CRADA Subject Inventions owned solely by IC or Joint CRADA Subject Inventions and licensed pursuant to an option in Paragraph 7.2, Collaborator grants to the Government a nonexclusive, nontransferable, irrevocable, paid-up license to practice the CRADA Subject Invention or have the CRADA Subject Invention practiced throughout the world by or on behalf of the Government for research or other Government purposes. In the exercise of this license, the Government will not publicly disclose trade secrets or commercial or financial information that is privileged or confidential within the meaning of 5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(4) or which would be considered privileged or confidential if it had been obtained from a non-federal party. |
7.5 | Government License in Collaborator Sole CRADA Subject Inventions. Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. § 3710a(b)(2), for CRADA Subject Inventions made solely by an employee of Collaborator, Collaborator grants to the Government a nonexclusive, nontransferable, irrevocable, paid-up license to practice the CRADA Subject Invention or have the CRADA Subject Invention practiced throughout the world by or on behalf of the Government for research or other Government purposes. In the exercise of this license, the Government will not publicly disclose trade secrets or commercial or financial information that is privileged or confidential within the meaning of 5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(4) or which would be considered privileged or confidential if it had been obtained from a non-federal party. |
7.6 | Third Party License. Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. § 3710a(b)(1)(B), if PHS grants Collaborator an exclusive, or co-exclusive, license to a CRADA Subject Invention made solely by an IC employee or a Joint CRADA Subject Invention, the Government will retain the right to require Collaborator to grant to a responsible applicant a nonexclusive, partially exclusive, or exclusive sublicense to use the CRADA Subject Invention |

in Collaborator’s licensed field of use on terms that are reasonable under the circumstances; or, if Collaborator fails to grant a license, to grant a license itself. The exercise of these rights by the Government will only be in exceptional circumstances and only if the Government determines (i) the action is necessary to meet health or safety needs that are not reasonably satisfied by Collaborator, (ii) the action is necessary to meet requirements for public use specified by federal regulations, and such requirements are not reasonably satisfied by Collaborator; or (iii) Collaborator has failed to comply with an agreement containing provisions described in 15 U.S.C. § 3710a(c)(4)(B). The determination made by the Government under this Paragraph is subject to administrative appeal and judicial review under 35 U.S.C. § 203(2).
7.7 | Third-Party Rights In IC Sole CRADA Subject Inventions. For a CRADA Subject Invention conceived prior to the Effective Date solely by an IC employee that is first actually reduced to practice after the Effective Date in the performance of the Research Plan, the option offered to Collaborator in Paragraph 7.2 may be restricted if, prior to the Effective Date, PHS filed a Patent Application and has either offered or granted a license in the CRADA Subject Invention to a third party. Collaborator nonetheless retains the right to apply for a license to any such CRADA Subject Invention in accordance with the terms and procedures of 35 U.S.C. § 209 and 37 C.F.R. Part 404. |
7.8 | Joint CRADA Subject Inventions Not Exclusively Licensed by Collaborator. If Collaborator does not acquire an exclusive commercialization license to a Joint CRADA Subject Invention in all fields of use then, for those fields of use not exclusively licensed to Collaborator, each Party will have the right to use the Joint CRADA Subject Invention and to license its use to others, and each Party will cooperate with the other, as necessary, to fulfill international licensing requirements. The Parties may agree to a joint licensing approach for any remaining fields of use. |
Article 8. Rights of Access and Publication
8.1 | Right of Access to CRADA Data and CRADA Materials. IC and Collaborator agree to exchange all CRADA Data and to share all CRADA Materials. Both Parties agree that they will not disclose CRADA Data to third parties until it is published in accordance with Paragraph 8.7, except as necessary to perform its obligations under this CRADA or as expressly permitted in Paragraph 8.2. In addition, IC represents that NCI Extramural Investigators are subject to obligations to keep CRADA Data confidential until it is published in accordance with Paragraph 8.7. If the CRADA is terminated, each Party agrees to provide CRADA Materials in quantities needed to complete all active Protocols or Protocols that have commenced or been approved by the PRC and Collaborator in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Research Plan prior to such termination. Such provision will occur before the termination date of the CRADA or sooner, if required by the Research Plan. However, if a Party terminates the CRADA in accordance with Paragraph 10.3 because of the other Party’s material breach, the terminating Party will have no obligation to provide CRADA Materials for the completion of the Research Plan. If Collaborator possesses any human biological specimens from clinical trials under the CRADA, the specimens must be handled as described in the Protocol or as otherwise directed by IC before the termination date of the CRADA. |
8.2 | Use of CRADA Data and CRADA Materials. The Parties will be free to utilize CRADA Data and CRADA Materials internally for their own purposes, consistent with their obligations under this CRADA. IC may share CRADA Data or CRADA Materials with any NCI Extramural Investigators it has engaged to conduct the CRADA research and development activities, provided the obligations of this Paragraph 8.2 are simultaneously conveyed and such NCI Extramural Investigators agree to comply with such obligations. Collaborator may share CRADA Data or CRADA Materials with any contractors, Affiliates, collaboration/development partners or agents it has engaged to conduct the CRADA research and development activities, as well as with Collaborator’s licensees and contractors, provided the obligations of this Paragraph 8.2 are simultaneously conveyed and such third parties agree to comply with such obligations.

Collaborator may share CRADA Data or CRADA Materials with governmental regulatory authorities (including the FDA) for the purpose of developing, seeking regulatory approval for and commercializing the Investigational Agent or pharmaceutical products containing the Investigational Agent, including in connection with regulatory filings. Collaborator shall not transfer CRADA Data to any third party other than those set forth in this Paragraph without the written permission of the NCI. Following NCI’s permission, Collaborator and such third party shall enter into a Confidential Disclosure Agreement with confidentiality terms at least as stringent as those set forth herein, and Collaborator can then transfer the data to such third party.
8.2.1 CRADA Data, Raw Data and Secondary Data.
Collaborator and IC will use reasonable efforts to keep CRADA Data and Secondary Data confidential until published as permitted under this CRADA or until corresponding Patent Applications are filed. To the extent permitted by law, each Party will have the right to use any and all CRADA Data in and for any regulatory filing by or on behalf of the Party. NCI will make CRADA Data, Raw Data and Secondary Data in NCI’s possession and control available to Collaborator for its own use and for Collaborator’s use for seeking regulatory approval to market and for commercialization of Investigational Agent and pharmaceutical products containing Investigational Agent.
8.2.2 CRADA Materials.
Collaborator and IC will use reasonable efforts to keep descriptions of CRADA Materials confidential until published as permitted under this CRADA or until corresponding Patent Applications are filed and published. Collaborator acknowledges that the basic research mission of PHS includes sharing with third parties for further research those research resources made in whole or in part with NIH funding. Consistent with this mission and the tenets articulated in “Sharing of Biomedical Research Resources: Principles and Guidelines for Recipients of NIH Research Grants and Contracts,” December 1999, available at xxxx://xxx.xx.xxx.xxx/XxxXxxxx/XXxxxxx_xxxxx.xxxx, following publication either Party may make available to third parties for further research those CRADA Materials made jointly by both PHS and Collaborator. Notwithstanding the above, if those joint CRADA Materials are the subject of a pending Patent Application or a Patent, or were created using a patent-pending or patented material or technology, the Parties may agree to restrict distribution or freely distribute them. Each Party may distribute those CRADA Materials made solely by the other Party only upon written consent from that other Party or that other Party’s designee.
8.3 | Confidential Information. Each Party agrees to limit its disclosure of Confidential Information to the amount necessary to carry out the Research Plan, and will place a confidentiality notice on all this information. A Party orally disclosing Confidential Information to the other Party will identify the disclosure as confidential at the time of oral disclosure and summarize the disclosure in writing and provide it to the other Party. Each Party receiving Confidential Information agrees to use it only for the purposes described in the Research Plan or as otherwise permitted in this Agreement. Either Party may object to the designation of information as Confidential Information by the other Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this CRADA, the restrictions on use and disclosure of Confidential Information under this CRADA shall not apply to Collaborator’s use and disclosure of Collaborator Confidential Information or to IC’s use and disclosure of IC Confidential Information. |
8.4 | Protection of Confidential Information. Confidential Information will not be disclosed, copied, reproduced or otherwise made available by a Party to any other person or entity without the other Party’s consent or as permitted under this CRADA except as required by a court or administrative body of competent jurisdiction, by federal or other applicable law or regulation, or as necessary for Patent filings and/or prosecution in accordance with Article 6. A Party shall be permitted to disclose Confidential |

Information consisting of information necessary for the safe handling, potential hazards or cautionary warnings of Investigational Agent, and/or use of the Investigational Agent or materials related to the Investigational Agent to those individuals who have a need to know such information in connection with the performance of the Research Plan. Each Party agrees to use reasonable efforts to maintain the confidentiality of Confidential Information, which will in no instance be less effort than the Party uses to protect its own Confidential Information. Each Party agrees that a Party will not be liable for the disclosure of that portion of the Confidential Information which, after notice to and consultation with the other Party, such Party determines may not be lawfully withheld, provided the other Party has been given a reasonable opportunity to seek a court order to enjoin disclosure. Each Party will use reasonable efforts to limit the disclosure and maintain confidentiality of Confidential Information disclosed as permitted in this Paragraph 8.4 to the extent possible. Disclosure of Confidential Information in accordance with this Paragraph 8.4 will not otherwise affect the confidential nature of the information.
8.5 | Human Subject Protection. The research to be conducted under this CRADA involves Human Subjects or human tissues within the meaning of 45 C.F.R. Part 46, and all research to be performed under this CRADA will conform to applicable federal laws and regulations. Additional information is available from the HHS Office for Human Research Protections (xxxx://xxx.xxx.xxx/xxxx/). |
8.6 | Duration of Confidentiality Obligation. Collaborator Confidential Information that is a trade secret, or commercial or financial information under the meaning of 5 U.S.C. Section 552(b)(4), shall not be disclosed by IC. The obligation to maintain the confidentiality of all Confidential Information will expire at the earlier of the date when the information is no longer Confidential Information as defined in Article 2 or [ * ] years after the expiration or termination date of this CRADA, except for IPI, for which the obligation to maintain confidentiality will extend indefinitely. Collaborator may request an extension to this term when necessary to protect Confidential Information relating to products not yet commercialized. |
8.7 | Publication. The Parties are encouraged to make publicly available the results of their research and development activities. [ * ]. Before Collaborator or NCI (including an NCI Investigator) submits a paper or abstract for publication about a CRADA Subject Invention, CRADA Data, or CRADA Materials, the other Party will have thirty (30) days to review proposed manuscripts and three (3) days to review proposed abstracts to assure that Confidential Information is protected. NCI will ensure that Collaborator Confidential Information identified by Collaborator is excised from a proposed publication. Either Party may request in writing that a proposed publication be delayed for up to thirty (30) additional days as necessary to file a Patent Application. If a CRADA Subject Invention disclosed in a proposed publication is solely owned by IC pursuant to Xxxxxxxxx 0.0, XXX will refrain from publication of such proposed manuscript or presentation until such time as PHS has filed a Patent Application covering such invention. Manuscripts to be submitted for publication by NCI Investigators will be sent to NCI’s Regulatory Affairs Branch XXXXXXXxxxx@xxxx.xxx.xxx for forwarding to Collaborator for review as soon as they are received and in compliance with the timelines outlined above.

and MTAs for the conduct of extramural Non-Clinical Studies and clinical trials will include the Intellectual Property Option to Collaborator (including any updates) (web site: xxxx://xxxx.xxxxxx.xxx/xxxxxxxxXxxxxxxxxxxxxx0/xxxxxxxxxxxx_xxxxxxxx.xxx). Although this CRADA does not grant to Collaborator any rights to Inventions made or Raw Data generated by NCI Extramural Investigators, as they are not parties to this CRADA, NCI agrees that:
8.8.1 | With regard to Collaborator Confidential Information, NCI will require the NCI Investigators to agree to confidentiality provisions at least as restrictive as those provided in this CRADA, and to Collaborator’s use of CRADA Data for obtaining regulatory approval for marketing Investigational Agent or pharmaceutical products containing Investigational Agent. In addition, NCI will assure that the NCI Extramural Investigators are aware of their obligations to provide to Collaborator Raw Data or any other data in the possession of NCI Extramural Investigators working with Investigational Agent under a Funding Agreement or MTA as requested by Collaborator in accordance with Paragraph 8.8.2. |
8.8.2 | If Collaborator wants access to Raw Data or any other data in the possession of the NCI Investigators working with Investigational Agent under a Funding Agreement or other agreements, Collaborator must first contact the Regulatory Affairs Branch (RAB), CTEP, NCI Telephone 000-000-0000; xxxxxxx@xxxx.xxx.xxx. Subsequent to authorization by RAB, which authorization will not be unreasonably withheld, Collaborator may directly contact the NCI Investigators. Collaborator will bear any costs associated with providing the Raw Data in formats customized for Collaborator, which costs will be paid by Collaborator directly to the NCI Investigators. |
8.8.3 | If Collaborator abandons development or commercialization of Investigational Agent without the transfer of its development or commercialization efforts to another party within [ * ] of abandonment, NCI has the right to make CRADA Data and Raw Data available to a third party. NCI will notify Collaborator of its intention to provide such data to a third party. For purposes of this Paragraph 8.8.3, Collaborator shall not be deemed to have abandoned development or commercialization of Investigational Agent so long as either (a) Collaborator devotes at least [ * ] to the development or commercialization of Investigational Agent during [ * ], or (b) a third party is actively conducting research relating to Investigational Agent under an agreement with Collaborator. |
8.8.4 | IC will promptly provide to Collaborator a copy of all Invention disclosures IC receives from NCI Extramural Investigators. |
8.8.5 | If NCI discovers that an NCI Extramural Investigator that is conducting any portion of the Research Plan breaches any of the provisions of its Funding Agreement or MTA regarding its work with Investigational Agent, NCI will discuss with Collaborator an appropriate resolution to such breach and shall take appropriate action as necessary to rectify such breach. |
8.9 | Multi-Party Data Rights. For clinical Protocol(s) or Non-Clinical Study(ies) under the Research Plan where Investigational Agent is used in combination with another investigational agent supplied to NCI pursuant to a CTA or CRADA between NCI and an entity not a Party to this CRADA (such entity, hereinafter referred to as a “Third Party”) the access and use of Multi-Party Data by the Collaborator and the Third Party shall be co-exclusive as follows: |
8.9.1 | NCI will provide both Collaborator and the Third Party with notice regarding the existence and nature of the agreements governing their collaborations with NIH, the design of the proposed combination Protocol(s) or Non-Clinical Study(ies), and the existence of any obligations that |

might restrict NCI's participation in the proposed combination Protocols or Non-Clinical Study(ies).
8.9.2 | Collaborator shall agree to permit use of the Multi-Party Data from these trials by the Third Party to the extent necessary to allow the Third Party to develop, obtain regulatory approval for, or commercialize its own investigational agent(s). However, this provision will not apply unless the Third Party also agrees to Collaborator’s reciprocal use of Multi-Party Data. |
8.9.3 | Collaborator and the Third Party must agree in writing prior to the commencement of the combination Protocol(s) by signing the drug approval form for clinical studies or Non-Clinical Study(ies) that each will use the Multi-Party Data solely for the development, regulatory approval, and commercialization of its own investigational agent(s). |
8.10 | Access, review and receipt of Identifiable Private Information. Collaborator access to and review of Identifiable Private Information shall be only for on-site quality auditing, or as necessary for purposes of satisfying FDA or other health authorities' reporting requirements, and for internal research purposes, directly related to obtaining regulatory approval of Investigational Agent. Collaborator is prohibited from access, review, receipt, or use of such information for other purposes. All IRB approved Protocols and informed consent documents related to this research project will clearly describe this practice. The Protocol and the informed consent must clearly state (i) the existence of the Collaborator; (ii) the Collaborator's access to and permitted uses of Identifiable Private Information; and (iii) the extent to which confidentiality will be maintained. For clinical Protocol(s) involving a Third Party, the other party's access, review, receipt, or use of Identifiable Private Information shall be subject to the same limitations as described in this Paragraph 8.10. |

[ * ] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Institution agrees to promptly notify the Provider (NCI) and Collaborator in writing of any inventions, discoveries or innovations made by the Recipient’s Investigator or any other employees or agents of Institution, whether patentable or not, which are conceived or first actually reduced to practice pursuant to the Research Project.
For inventions described in patent disclosures that claim the use and/or the composition of the Research Material(s) (Section A Inventions), Institution hereby grants to Collaborator(s): (i) a royalty-free, worldwide, non-exclusive license for commercial purposes with the right to sublicense to affiliates, contractors, licensees or collaborators working on behalf of Collaborator for Collaborator’s or Collaborator’s licensees’ development or commercialization purposes; and (ii) a time limited first option to negotiate an exclusive, or co-exclusive, if applicable, world-wide, royalty bearing license for commercial purposes, including the right to grant sublicenses, subject to any rights of the Government of the United States of America, on terms to be negotiated in good faith by the Collaborator(s) and Institution. If Collaborator accepts the non-exclusive commercial license, the Collaborator agrees to pay all out of pocket patent prosecution and maintenance costs which will be pro-rated and divided equally among all licensees. If Collaborator obtains an exclusive commercial license, in addition to any other agreed upon licensing arrangements such as royalties and due diligence requirements, the Collaborator agrees to pay all out of pocket patent prosecution and maintenance costs. Collaborator(s) will notify Institution, in writing, if it is interested in obtaining a commercial license to any Section A Invention within three (3) months of Collaborator’s receipt of a patent application or six (6) months of receipt of an invention report notification of such a Section A Invention. In the event that Collaborator fails to so notify Institution, or elects not to obtain an exclusive license, then Collaborator’s option expires with respect to that Section A Invention, and Institution will be free to dispose of its interests in accordance with its policies. If Institution and Collaborator fail to reach agreement within ninety (90) days, (or such additional period as Collaborator and Institution may agree) on the terms for an exclusive license for a particular Section A Invention, then for a period of three (3) months thereafter Institution agrees not to offer to license the Section A Invention to any third party on materially better terms than those last offered to Collaborator without first offering such terms to Collaborator, in which case Collaborator will have a period of thirty (30) days in which to accept or reject the offer. If Collaborator elects to negotiate an exclusive commercial license to a Section A Invention, then Institution agrees to file and prosecute patent application(s) diligently and in a timely manner and to give Collaborator an opportunity to comment on the preparation and filing of any such patent application(s). Notwithstanding the above, Institution is under no obligation to file or maintain patent prosecution for any Section A Invention.
For those inventions not covered by Section A, but are nevertheless conceived or first actually reduced to practice pursuant to the Research Project and to those inventions that are conceived or first actually reduced to practice pursuant to the Research Project that use non-publicly available clinical data or specimens from patients treated with the NCI-provided Research Material (including specimens obtained from NCI DCTD-funded tissue banks) (Section B Inventions), Institution agrees to grant the following to the collaborator: (i) a paid-up nonexclusive nontransferable, royalty-free, world-wide license to all Section B Inventions for research purposes only; and (ii) a nonexclusive, royalty-free, world-wide license to (a) disclose Section B Inventions to a regulatory authority when seeking marketing authorization of the Research Material and (b) disclose Section B Inventions on a product insert or other promotional material regarding the Research Material after having obtained marketing authorization from a regulatory authority. Notwithstanding the above, Institution is under no obligation to file or maintain patent prosecution for any Section B Invention.
For all Section A and Section B Inventions, regardless of Collaborator’s decision to seek a commercial license, Institution agrees to grant Collaborator a paid-up, nonexclusive, royalty-free, world-wide license for research purposes only. Institution retains the right to make and use any Section A Invention for all non-profit research, including for educational purposes and to permit other educational and non-profit institutions to do so.
Institution agrees, at Collaborator's request and expense, to grant to Collaborator a royalty-free exclusive or co-exclusive license to inventions made by Institution’s Investigator(s) or any other employees or agents of Institution, which are or may be patentable or otherwise protectable, as a result of research utilizing the Research Material(s) outside
