(d) If XXXXXX HOLDING is (i) the sole owner of a Joint Patent Right or (ii) the Continuing Party, such Joint Patent Right shall no longer be considered to be part of the ULURU Intellectual Property Rights for purposes of this Agreement and thereafter shall be part of XXXXXX HOLDING’s intellectual property.
(e) If ULURU is (i) the sole owner of a Joint Patent Right or (ii) is the Continuing Party, such Joint Patent Rights shall no longer be considered to be part of XXXXXX HOLDING’s intellectual property for purposes of this Agreement and thereafter shall be part of the ULURU Intellectual Property Rights.
11.4.8 Each Party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates, employees, attorneys and agents to, cooperate fully with the other Party and provide all information and data and execute any documents reasonably required or requested in order to allow the other Party to prosecute, file, and maintain patents and patent applications pursuant to this Section 11.4. Neither Party shall require the other Party to make any payment or reimburse for any expenses in connection with such cooperation, provision of information and data and execution of documents.
11.5 Enforcement of Intellectual Property Rights.
11.5.1 If either Party becomes aware of any infringement of any of the Intellectual Property Rights or the Xxxx, or the validity of any of the Intellectual Property Rights or the Xxxx is challenged by a Third Party in the Territory, such Party will notify the other Party in writing to that effect. Any such notice shall include, as applicable, evidence to support an allegation of infringement by such Third Party.
11.5.2 ULURU shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to take action to obtain a discontinuance of infringement or bring suit against a Third Party infringer of Intellectual Property Rights and/or the Xxxx in the Territory. Such right shall remain in effect until twenty (20) days after the date of notice given under Section 11.5.1. In the event that ULURU exercises such right, then: (a) ULURU shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to such an action or suit without the prior written consent of XXXXXX HOLDING (not to be unreasonably withheld), and (b) ULURU shall bear all the expenses of any such suit brought by ULURU claiming infringement of any Intellectual Property Rights and/or the Xxxx. If, after the expiration of the twenty (20) day period, ULURU has not obtained, or is not diligently pursuing, a discontinuance of infringement of the Intellectual Property Rights and/or the Xxxx, filed suit against any such Third Party infringer of the Intellectual Property Rights and/or the Xxxx, or provided XXXXXX HOLDING with information and arguments demonstrating to XXXXXX HOLDING’s reasonable satisfaction that there is insufficient basis for the allegation of such infringement of the Intellectual Property Rights and/or the Xxxx, then XXXXXX HOLDING shall have the right, but not the obligation, to bring suit against such Third Party infringer of the Intellectual Property Rights and/or the Xxxx and to join ULURU as a party plaintiff, provided that XXXXXX HOLDING shall bear all the expenses of such suit. In such event, XXXXXX HOLDING shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to such an action or suit without the prior written consent of ULURU (which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld) if such judgment or settlement includes a finding or agreement that such Intellectual Property Right and/or the Xxxx is invalid or would enjoin or grant other equitable relief against ULURU.
11.5.3 Each Party shall cooperate (including, without limitation, by executing any documents reasonably required to enable the other Party to initiate such litigation, testifying when requested or providing relevant documents) with the other Party in any suit for infringement of Intellectual Property Rights and/or the Xxxx brought by the other Party against a Third Party in accordance with this Section and shall have the right to consult with the other Party and to participate in and be represented by independent counsel in such litigation at its own expense.
11.5.4 Neither Party shall be required pursuant to this Section 11.5 to undertake any activities, including, without limitation, legal discovery at the request of a Third Party except as may be required by lawful process of a court of competent jurisdiction.
11.5.5 Neither Party shall incur any liability to the other Party as a consequence of any such litigation or any unfavorable decision resulting therefrom, including, without limitation, any decision holding any of the patents within the Intellectual Property Rights invalid or unenforceable.
11.5.6 Any recovery obtained by either Party as a result of any such proceeding against a Third Party infringer shall be allocated as follows: (a) such recovery shall first be used to reimburse each Party for all litigation costs in connection with such litigation paid by that Party; and (b) the Party bringing the action shall receive the remaining portion of such recovery after payment of the amounts specified in clause (a).
11.6 Trademarks.
Subject to the restrictions in Sections 11.1, XXXXXX HOLDING shall select and own all Trademarks in connection with the marketing, promotion and sale of the Product in the Territory. XXXXXX HOLDING hereby grants to ULURU a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, fully paid, royalty free, sublicensable license in and to all XXXXXX HOLDING Trademarks and copyrights to be contained in any such labeling for the sole purpose of manufacturing and applying such labels to the Product in the conduct of ULURU’s obligations hereunder; provided, however, that ULURU agrees to cooperate with and offer reasonable assistance to XXXXXX HOLDING in facilitating XXXXXX HOLDING’s control of the quality of the Product branded with XXXXXX HOLDING’s trademarks hereunder; but further provided that in no event is ULURU obligated to provide such cooperation or assistance in any way that will (i) lower the quality of the Product below that which ULURU deems acceptable for general commercial distribution, (ii) be contrary to or in violation of any regulatory or statutory obligations, or (iii) increase the cost of manufacturing and delivering the Product hereunder beyond that contemplated by the parties as of the Effective Date.
11.7 Publications.
11.7.1 The Parties recognize that limited rights of review and/or comment exist for certain Third Party publications, such as medical, academic and scientific publications.

11.7.3 Written copies of each such proposed publication or presentation required to be submitted hereunder shall be submitted to the non-disclosing Party no later than fifteen (15) days before its intended submission for publication or presentation. The non-disclosing Party shall provide its comments with respect to such publications and presentations within ten (10) business days of its receipt of such written copy. The review period may be extended for an additional thirty (30) days in the event the non-disclosing Party can demonstrate reasonable need for such extension. By mutual agreement of the Parties in writing, this period may be further extended.
