BACKGROUND
CWRU, with principal activities in teaching and scholarship, makes its capabilities available to commercial entities for research to the extent that it complements and does not conflict with CWRU’s principal activities. In this spirit, CWRU is prepared to continue its development relationship with OSIRIS (a company created to commercialize the mesenchymal stem cell technology) and to license the Technology, as that item is defined in Article X below, including that established by Xx. Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxx while working as a full-time professor at CWRU. This license transfers the state-of-the-art of the mesenchymal stem cell technology to OSIRIS, according to the terms and conditions set forth below. This state-of-the-art includes patents and know-how. Future patents based on this know-how will be made in the name of CWRU and will be covered by the royalty agreement stated herein if substantially invented at CWRU in the future.
ARTICLE I: LICENSE
1.1 Grant and Subject Matter. CWRU grants OSIRIS a sole and exclusive worldwide License, under Technology, Existing Patent Rights (to the extent not owned by OSIRIS) and Developed Patent Rights (“License”) to make, have made, use and sell Product and Process (terms defined in Section 10), including the right to grant sublicenses.
1.2 Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall be in full force and effect from the date first set forth above and shall remain in effect for twenty-five (25) years or until all patents issued in all countries in accordance with this License hereunder have expired or until otherwise terminated by operation of law, whichever is last to occur, or by the acts of the parties in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
1.3 Retained Rights. CWRU will retain a royalty-free right to use the Technology and patent rights of the License for any nonclinical research, testing or educational purpose of CWRU. In no event shall CWRU have any right to use the Technology or the patent rights of the License for any commercial purpose whatsoever. In addition, the License will be subject to such rights as are required to be accorded to any governmental agency as a consequence of prior or contemporaneous funding for research or development of the subject matter of the License.
1.4 Sublicenses. OSIRIS agrees to forward to CWRU a copy of any and all fully executed sublicense agreements, and further agrees to forward annually a copy of such reports received by OSIRIS from its sublicensees during the preceding twelve (12) month period under the sublicenses as shall be pertinent to a royalty accounting to CWRU under said sublicense agreement.
1.5 The license granted under Existing Patent Rights is royalty-free.
1.6 The license granted under Developed Patent Rights is royalty-bearing as provided in Paragraph 6.2.
ARTICLE II: TITLE
Except as provided in Section 3.1, CWRU shall retain title to the subject matter of the License.
ARTICLE III: PATENTS
3.1 To the extent permitted by existing obligations, CWRU hereby assigns all right, title and interest in and to Existing Patent Rights to OSIRIS. OSIRIS shall bear all responsibility for, and shall take all actions in connection with, the prosecution of the Existing Patent Rights. CWRU shall cooperate with OSIRIS with respect to such prosecutions.
3.2 New Applications. CWRU shall own all Developed Patent Rights. In the event either party hereto believes a patent application should be filed with respect to the Technology, such party shall notify the other party hereto. If OSIRIS fails to file such application within sixty (60) days after the date of such notice, CWRU shall have the right to file the application in its own name, at its own expense; provided, however, that CWRU’s application must be filed within six (6) months after the expiration of OSIRIS’ sixty (60) day filing period.
If CWRU does not file within such six-month period, CWRU must give a new notice to OSIRIS, and the process described above must be repeated in its entirety, before CWRU shall have the right to file such application.
3.3 OSIRIS shall own any patent application which is directed to an invention made by an employee of OSIRIS or by an Investigator when the Investigator is working on the premises of OSIRIS.
3.4 Cost. OSIRIS will pay the cost of all patent applications filed by it pursuant to Section 3.2.

3.5 Reports. The party filing the patent application pursuant to Section 3.2 above shall keep the other informed in a timely manner of the status of the application.
3.6 Infringement. Each party shall promptly notify the other party if it becomes aware of any infringement of any patents licensed as part of this Agreement. Neither OSIRIS nor CWRU shall have any obligation to initiate litigation to protect any patent or proprietary right granted under this Agreement. However, each party will have the unqualified right to initiate legal action, or to fully participate in any legal action initiated by the other party, to protect its interests. In any litigation, each party and their respective attorneys will cooperate with the other party. If OSIRIS elects to institute suit against any third party to protect any patent or proprietary rights granted under this Agreement, fifty percent (50%) of associated costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) which have been paid by OSIRIS may be offset against royalties owed to CWRU pursuant to Article VI, but such offsetting shall not exceed fifty percent (50%) of the total royalties owed to CWRU. All damages awarded in any suit will belong exclusively to the party initiating the suit, except that the amounts offset pursuant to this Section 3.6 will be reimbursed to CWRU from damages awarded to OSIRIS after OSIRIS’s own legal costs have been reimbursed.
3.7 In the event that litigation against OSIRIS is initiated by a third-party charging OSIRIS with infringement of a patent of the third party as a result of the manufacture, use or sale by OSIRIS of Product or Process for which royalties are due to CWRU hereunder, OSIRIS shall promptly notify CWRU in writing thereof. OSIRIS’s costs as to any such defense shall be creditable against any and all payments due and payable to CWRU under Article VI of this Agreement but no royalty payment after taking into consideration any such credit shall be reduced by more than 50%.
ARTICLE IV: CONFIDENTIALITY
4.1 Confidentiality. CWRU and OSIRIS agree to advise their respective employees that it is necessary to hold in confidence all information received from the other party in connection with the License (“Information”) for a period of two years following disclosure. The receiving party will use reasonable efforts to prevent disclosure of such Information during such period. This Section 4.1 shall not apply, however, to Information which:
(i) is now in or shall enter the public domain as the result of its disclosure in a publication, the issuance of a patent or otherwise without the legal fault of the receiving party;
(ii) the receiving party can prove was in its possession in written form at the time of disclosure by the other party; or
(iii) comes into the hands of the receiving party by means of a third party who is entitled to make such disclosure and who has no obligation of confidentiality toward the disclosing party.
(iv) where disclosure is required under any applicable ruling, regulation or law, including but not limited to regulatory filings.
(v) where disclosure is made through the filing of a patent application.
3
Notwithstanding the foregoing, OSIRIS can disclose information to a third party under an obligation of confidentiality similar to the obligation of confidentiality under this agreement.
4.2 Remedies. Each party shall be entitled to injunctive relief if there is a threat that Information that is the subject matter of the License will be disclosed by the other party contrary to the terms of this agreement. Each party shall notify the other party in writing of any proposed release of Information thirty (30) days prior to release of such Information. The party receiving such notice will have thirty (30) days to review the materials and shall not unreasonably withhold permission for the Information to be released.
4.3 (a) During the period in which OSIRIS holds a license, CWRU and Investigators (as defined in Paragraph 10.9) shall not, without OSIRIS’ prior written approval, distribute or allow Material (as defined in Paragraph 10.8) to be distributed to for-profit entities or persons known to be employed thereby or consulting or performing research therefor.
(b) CWRU and Principal Investigator (as defined in Paragraph 10.7) shall have the right to transfer Material to not-for-profit entities or persons known to be affiliated therewith provided that such entities or persons sign a material transfer agreement mutually agreed to by the parties to this Agreement.
(c) Prior to any such distribution of any such Material, CWRU and OSIRIS shall use best efforts to consider the patentability of such Material and cooperate to file, where appropriate, a patent application for such Material prior to its distribution, in accordance with Article III of this Agreement.
ARTICLE V: PUBLICATION
CWRU will provide OSIRIS with a copy of any proposed publication relating to the Technology thirty (30) days prior to their submission for publication. OSIRIS will have thirty (30) days from the date of receipt of each such proposed publication to review the materials. Upon receipt within the thirty-day (30) period of a written notice from OSIRIS identifying those portions of the proposed publication for which it wishes publication delayed, CWRU will use its best efforts either to cause the materials identified to be deleted or to cause publication to be delayed for ninety (90) days .
