Licensee acknowledges and agrees that any modification, change, development, enhancement, derivative or improvement (collectively, “Improvements”) made by, or on behalf of, Licensee to the Licensed IP or Licensed Product, shall be owned exclusively by Licensor, and to the extent that Licensee retains any rights therein, Licensee irrevocably assigns all right, title and interest therein to Licensor. All Improvements shall be deemed Licensed IP or Licensed Products, as appropriate, and shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement.
D.		Enforcement. Vishay S.A. shall cooperate fully and promptly with VAT in the protection of VAT’s rights in the Licensed IP, in such manner and to such extent as VAT may reasonably request, and at VAT’s expense.
		1. Each party shall promptly notify the other party in writing of any actual or potential infringement, or any other unauthorized use of or violation of the Licensed IP of which it becomes aware (each an “Infringement”). VAT may take such action as it, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or advisable to stop any Infringement. Vishay S.A. may request in writing that VAT institute an action to stop an Infringement affecting the Licensed Products.

		2. Any monetary recovery or sums obtained in settlement of any action to stop an Infringement shall be allocated between VAT and Vishay S.A. as shall be fair and equitable, taking into account their actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, and the damages sustained by each of them. Any dispute with respect to the allocation of recoveries shall be resolved in accordance with the resolution procedures referred to in Article V-P.
