The
Contracting Parties lay down that the Entitled Party submitted a patent
application to the Hungarian Patent Office on 5 November 2007 for
patenting the invention named “Fireproof Liquid and method” (hereinafter:
Invention), which was filed under No. 0726068 and its case number is
P-07-00710. The Entitled Party declares that it paid in due time the
required fees and costs becoming mature for the conduction of the
patenting process.
|
The
Entitled Party undertakes the obligation to pay in due time also the fees and
costs becoming mature in the future.
Furthermore,
the Contracting Parties lay down that the patent protection has not yet been
registered.
2.
|
The
Entitled Party transfers the exploitation of the Invention for all items
of claim, without any temporal or territorial restriction, to the
Exploiter, who shall be entitled to exploit it in any possible ways and to
any possible extents.
|
As a
consideration for the unrestricted and exclusive right of exploitation of the
Invention the Exploiter shall pay gross HUF 8,000,000.-, say Eight million
Forints to the Entitled Party in such a manner that the Exploiter transfers it
to the bank account No. 00000000-00000000-01000003 of the Entitled Party kept
with Budapest Bank within 5 business days reckoned from the execution of this
Agreement.
The right
of exploitation shall be registered in the patent register.
3.
|
After
the payment of the first instalment of the fee the Entitled Party allows
the Exploiter full and unrestricted inspection of all documents relating
to the Invention, produced so far, and informs the Exploiter on the rights
relating to the Invention and on all important circumstances that may
affect the exploitation thereof. Furthermore, the Entitled Party shall
hand over its economical, technical and organisational knowledge as well
as those relating to production and manufacture, relating to the
implementation of the Invention. The Entitled Party undertakes warranty
for that the Invention can be realised on the basis of the documents and
data handed over. The Entitled Party shall issue a written declaration on
the completeness of the handover.
|
On the
basis of the knowledge delivered the Exploiter shall check the effect, hindering
the spreading of fire, of the Invention in such a manner that it calls upon the
competent organ of the Disaster Prevention Authority to carry out the test. It
is a condition of the test that the Exploiter produces the Invention on the
basis of the documents and knowledge delivered by the Entitled Party. The test
shall be carried out with the material produced by the Exploiter, according to
the prescription of the relevant European standards, and it shall be deemed to
be successful, if the pile handled with the material, located at a 20-centimetre
distance from a standard pile of 50 centimetres, will not catch fire after
setting the standard pile on fire, until the full burning out of it. The fire of
the burning pile will be deflected towards the handled pile with the help of a
fan. The Exploiter shall carry out the test and notify the Entitled Party of the
result thereof no later than by 30 September 2008. In the event of the failure
of the test the Exploiter will set a deadline in a notice for the correction of
the defect, after the unsuccessful elapse thereof it shall be entitled to
withdraw from the agreement.

The
Entitled Party undertakes warranty for that no third party has or may have
any right or rightful interest during the term of the Exploitation
Agreement, which may prevent or restrict the
exploitation.
|
5.
|
The
Entitled Party undertakes warranty for that the Invention can be realised
technically and the total average wholesale purchase price of all
materials required for the production thereof does not exceed gross HUF
200 per litre upon the execution of the
Agreement.
|
6.
|
The
Exploiter shall be entitled to termination by notice with immediate effect
in the event of the violation of the warranty rights set out in Clauses 4
and 5.
|
7.
|
The
Exploiter acquires exclusive right to the exploitation of the Invention
and the Contracting Parties expressly exclude that the Entitled Party
itself exploits the Invention beside the exclusivity. The Entitled Party
acquires the right to the own utilisation of the Invention, if the
Exploiter will not be profitable or does not pay dividend even in the
third year following the commencement of the
operation.
|
8.
|
The
Entitled Party expressly consents to that the Exploiter assigns its rights
to third parties without any restriction and grants them licence for the
exploitation of the Invention.
|
9.
|
It
is the common obligation of the Contracting Parties to provide for the
maintenance of the patent during the full term of the Exploitation
Agreement.
|
10.
|
After
the successful completion of the check set out in paragraph two of Clause
3, the Exploiter shall, in the interest of making the Invention
marketable:
|
|
·
|
carry
out all tests and experiments which are required to elaborate the
production technology, the method of storage and transportation of the
Invention, which can be deemed to be successful, if the mass production of
the Invention can be secured in a constant quality and its storage and
transportation are solved without the deterioration of
quality,
|
|
·
|
carry
out the experiments for the elaboration of the appropriate methods of
utilisation, in order to acquire the required knowledge and to look for
the appropriate means required for the
utilisation,
|
|
·
|
look
for similar products in the interest of the comparability of the Invention
and compare the characteristics, prices and market penetration thereof to
the Invention,
|
|
·
|
carry
out market research on the expectable areas of
utilisation,
|
|
·
|
acquire
the licences required for the production and
utilisation.
|
11.
|
The
Contracting Parties lay down that the Invention may primarily be used in
the course of the protection against forest fires and similar fires of
large extent. Therefore the experiments defined in Clause 10 shall
primarily serve this purpose, not excluding the other possibilities of
utilisation and exploitation.

12.
|
The
Exploiter is entitled to interrupt the execution of the tasks defined in
Clause 10, if it can be stated unambiguously that the Invention is
economically not suitable for the protection against forest fires or other
fires of large extent. The Entitled Party shall be notified thereof
immediately in writing and it shall initiate the re-negotiation of the
conditions of the Agreement. Should the negotiations bring no result, then
the Entitled Party shall become entitled to withdraw from the further
performance of the Agreement.
|
The
Contracting Parties deem the Invention unsuitable for the tasks defined in
Clause 11, if
|
·
|
the
Invention does not show any valuable fire prevention effect and this is
certified by expert opinion,
|
|
·
|
the
storage of the Invention and transportation thereof to the place of
utilisation cannot be secured without the deterioration of
quality,
|
|
·
|
the
Invention has a toxic or other effect harmful for the environment in the
course of the use in the nature, due to which the licence for manufacture
and distribution cannot be issued,
|
|
·
|
the
costs of mass production are so high that the potential customers are
unwilling or incapable to pay it according to the data of market
research,
|
|
·
|
there
is another product introduced for similar function on the market, compared
to which the Invention does not mean any valuable advantage, the lack of
market introduction would in turn highly increase the
costs.
|
13.
|
After
the successful completion of the tasks listed in Clause 10 the Contracting
Parties shall commence negotiation on the further amount of the
exploitation fee, which shall be fixed subject to the expectable sales,
but in an amount of no more than gross HUF
10,000,000.
|
After the
successful completion of the tasks listed in Clause 10 the Exploiter shall
reimburse the Entitled Party for the costs of the maintenance of the patent
protection of the Invention against an invoice. The Contracting Parties may also
agree that, after the fulfilment of the condition, the costs of the maintenance
of the patent shall be borne directly by the Exploiter.
14.
|
If
the registration of the patent protection of the Invention becomes
impossible either in Hungary or outside Hungary, then the Exploiter is
entitled to terminate the Agreement by notice with immediate effect. In
the event of the termination by notice the Contracting Parties shall
settle accounts with each other. If the gross sales revenue of the
exploitation of the Invention amounts to at least HUF 30,000,000 until the
date of the termination by notice, then the Parties are not charged by any
other payment obligation over and above the mutual payment of the invoices
issued already. If the demonstrable gross price revenue does not reach HUF
30,000,000, then the Entitled Party shall pay the Exploiter the
difference, but not exceeding the amount (exploitation fees, fees of the
maintenance of patent) paid until the termination of the Agreement. The
Contracting Parties shall make an agreement on the deadline of repayment,
which, however, may not be longer than one
year.

In the
event of impossibility of the patent registration of the Invention the Entitled
Party may offer the Exploiter also the exploitation of another Invention being
in its possession, which, however, the Exploiter is not obliged to
accept.
15.
|
The
Contracting Parties oblige themselves to sign the declarations required
for the registration in the patent register of the exploitation right of
the Exploiter, and to make immediately any further declarations required
in the course of the patent
proceeding.
|
16.
|
The
Contracting Parties lay down that by signing this Agreement the agreement
signed by them on 24 September 2008 on the exploitation of the Invention
shall cease to be in force and exclusively this Agreement shall apply with
regard to the exploitation of the
Invention.
|
In the
issues not regulated in the Agreement the provisions of Act XXXIII of 1995, as
well as those of the [Hungarian] Civil Code shall be governing.
After
having read and interpreted it, the Contracting Parties, having the required
authorisation, sign this Agreement, consisting of 5 numbered pages, as a legal
declaration in full conformity with their will.
