Assignor acknowledges that he will benefit from this assignment of the Inventions and Proprietary Information.
To the extent that any such Invention or Proprietary Information is not assignable or transferable to Memory MD, Assignor hereby grants to Memory MD a non-exclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual, world-wide license to make, have made, modify, manufacture, reproduce, sub-license, use and sell such non-assignable Invention or Proprietary Information.
I (Assignor) acknowledge that any breach or threatened breach by me of any provision of this Agreement may result in immediate and irreparable injury to Memory MD, and that such injury may not be readily compensable by monetary damages. In the event of any such breach or threatened breach, I acknowledge that, in addition to all other remedies available at law and equity, Memory MD or its parent shall be entitled to seek equitable relief (including a temporary restraining order, a preliminary injunction and/or a permanent injunction), and an equitable accounting of all earnings, profits or other benefits arising from such breach and will be entitled to receive such other damages, direct or consequential, as may be appropriate.
