ARTICLE IV
PATENT PROSECUTION AND ENFORCEMENT
4.01 Patent Separation
As it becomes relevant during the term of this Agreement, Lilly and Elanco shall meet to endeavor in good faith to identify Licensed Patents that cover products of Elanco and its Subsidiaries and do not cover products of Lilly and its Subsidiaries (any such patents, “Lilly-Owned Animal Health Patents”).
4.02 Prosecution and Maintenance of Patents
As between Lilly and Elanco and pursuant to Section 4.05, Lilly shall have the sole and exclusive right to control, at its expense, the Prosecution and Maintenance of all Licensed Patents other than Lilly-Owned Animal Health Patents; provided, however, that, subject to Section 2.04, Elanco shall have the right to list Licensed Patents in the Green Book or Orange Book, as applicable, in accordance with applicable Law. As between Lilly and Elanco, Elanco shall have the sole and exclusive right to control, at its expense, the Prosecution and Maintenance of all Lilly-Owned Animal Health Patents, provided that Elanco shall provide Lilly with copies of any filings with respect to Lilly-Owned Animal Health Patents with sufficient time for Lilly to confirm that such filing will not be detrimental to any products or Patents of Lilly or its Subsidiaries and that such filing does not contain any confidential information of Lilly or its Subsidiaries.
4.03 Enforcement
Elanco shall promptly report in writing to Lilly any Infringement of any Licensed Patents of which it becomes aware. Lilly will have the sole and exclusive right to determine and pursue, at its expense, the appropriate course of action with respect to, and retain any and all proceeds recovered with respect to, any Infringement of Licensed Patents other than Lilly-Owned Animal Health Patents, including the sole and exclusive right to settle or otherwise resolve such Infringement on such terms as it determines in its sole discretion. Elanco shall reasonably assist Lilly and its Subsidiaries in connection with such course at Lilly’s reasonable cost and expense, including, if so requested by Lilly and/or its Subsidiaries and to the extent required to maintain an action, joining as a party to such action. Lilly shall promptly report in writing to Elanco any Infringement of any Lilly-Owned Animal Health Patents of which it becomes aware. Elanco will have the sole and exclusive right to determine and pursue, at its expense, the appropriate course of action with respect to, and retain any and all proceeds recovered with respect to, any Infringement of Lilly-Owned Animal Health Patents, including the sole and exclusive right to settle or otherwise resolve such Infringement on such terms as it determines, provided that no action taken by Elanco is detrimental in any way to Lilly’s rights with respect to its products or other Patents. Lilly shall
reasonably assist Elanco and its Subsidiaries in connection with such course at Elanco’s reasonable cost and expense, including, if so requested by Elanco and/or its Subsidiaries and to the extent required to maintain an action, joining as a party to such action.
4.04 Invalidity Claims
If a Third Party at any time asserts a claim that any Licensed Patent is invalid, not patentable, or otherwise unenforceable (an “Invalidity Claim”), Lilly shall have the right, but not the obligation, to control the response and any related Proceedings, including settlement thereof, if any, to any such Invalidity Claim, unless such Invalidity Claim involves a Lilly-Owned Animal Health Patent, in which case the control shall be exercised by Elanco, provided that in exercising such control Elanco may take no action that is detrimental in any way to Lilly’s rights with respect to its products or other Patents.
4.05 Covenants of Lilly
In connection with the Prosecution and Maintenance of all Licensed IP and Technology subject to Section 4.01, any courses of action in connection with any Infringement subject to Section 4.03, and any Invalidity Claims subject to Section 4.04, Lilly will act in good faith with respect to the Elanco Field, including by providing Elanco reasonable advance notice of any proposal to narrow any claim within the Licensed Patents that may affect the Elanco Field, and by incorporating all reasonable comments and directions from Elanco and using reasonable efforts to perform such actions, in each case with respect to the Elanco Field. At Elanco’s reasonable written request, and no more than twice per year, Lilly shall provide information and/or access to information regarding the status of any Licensed IP and Technology that is reasonably requested by Elanco in connection with any Prosecution and Maintenance subject to Section 4.01.
4.06 Liability
Neither Party, nor its Subsidiaries, nor its or their Representatives, shall be liable to the other Party or any of its Subsidiaries or its or their Representatives in respect of any good faith act, omission, default or neglect of such Party, any of its Subsidiaries, or its or their Representatives, successors or assigns in connection with Prosecution and Maintenance, enforcement actions, and third-party Invalidity Claims that it performs hereunder and that has not resulted from the bad faith of such Party or its Subsidiaries or its or their Representatives, successors, or assigns. This Agreement shall not obligate either Party to disclose to the other Party, or Prosecute, Maintain, pay for, register, enforce, defend or otherwise manage any Intellectual Property Rights and Technology, except as expressly set forth herein.
4.07 Abandonment and Assignment Events
(a) The Abandoning Party will provide the other Party written notice if any of the Licensed Patents will be Abandoned by such Abandoning Party and, if Lilly is the Abandoning Party, such Abandonment will constitute an “Assignment Event”, and such corresponding Licensed Patents, will constitute “Assignable Patents”.
(b) Following receipt of notice of any Assignment Event, Elanco shall have the right to request, by written notice delivered to the Abandoning Party, that the applicable Assignable Patents be assigned to Elanco or an Elanco Subsidiary. If Elanco so requests, the Parties shall execute an Assignment Agreement with respect to the Assignable Patents.
(c) Following any assignment to Elanco or an Elanco Subsidiary of any Assignable Patents, such Assignable Patents shall no longer constitute Licensed IP and Technology pursuant to this
Agreement, but Elanco covenants that neither it nor any Elanco Subsidiary shall thereafter xxx Xxxxx, a Xxxxx Subsidiary, any Representative of Lilly or a Lilly Subsidiary, any sublicensee of Lilly or a Lilly Subsidiary, or any direct or indirect customer or supplier of any such entity (in its capacity as such) for researching, developing, using, manufacturing, having manufactured, selling, having sold, importing, exporting or otherwise commercializing or exploiting products and services in the Lilly Field that embody or utilize any such Assignable Patent in the Territory.
(d) Following any such notice by Elanco or an Elanco Party of its intention to Abandon any of the Licensed Patents, such Licensed Patents shall thereafter no longer constitute Licensed IP and Technology Pursuant to this Agreement, but Lilly covenants that neither it nor any Lilly Subsidiary shall thereafter xxx Elanco, an Elanco Subsidiary, any Representative of Elanco or an Elanco Subsidiary, any sublicensee of Elanco or an Elanco Subsidiary, or any direct or indirect customer or supplier of any such entity (in its capacity as such) for researching, developing, using, manufacturing, having manufactured, selling, having sold, importing, exporting or otherwise commercializing or exploiting products and services in the Animal Health Field that embody or utilize any such patent in the Territory

5.02 Termination for Bankruptcy Event
This Agreement shall automatically terminate as a whole, with no further action required by either Party, if either Party becomes the subject of a Bankruptcy Event.
5.03 Rights in Bankruptcy
The licenses granted under or pursuant to this Agreement are, and shall otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of Title 11, US Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) or any analogous provisions in any other country or jurisdiction, licenses of rights to “intellectual property” as defined under Section 101(35A) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Parties agree that during the term of this Agreement, the licensee of rights under this Agreement, shall retain and may fully exercise all of its rights and elections under the Bankruptcy Code, subject to the continued performance of its obligations under this Agreement.
5.04 Effects of Termination
(a) Upon any termination of this Agreement, each Party shall return to the other Party all documents and other material received from the other Party or any Subsidiaries or Representatives of the other Party or its Subsidiaries relating to this Agreement (including copies of any Confidential License Information). All such documents and other material shall be treated in accordance with the terms of ARTICLE VI which shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement and any other provision hereof to the contrary.
(b) Nothing in this Section 5.04 shall be deemed to release either Party from any liability for any breach by such Party of the terms and provisions of this Agreement prior to termination thereof.
Termination is not intended to be an exclusive remedy and is without prejudice to any other rights and remedies of the Parties under this Agreement at law or in equity.
5.05 Survival of Obligations
Sections 1.01, 2.02, 2.04, 2.05, 4.02 through 4.06, 5.04, and 5.05 and ARTICLE III, ARTICLE VI, ARTICLE VII and ARTICLE VIII and any definitions used in any such Sections and Articles shall survive the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms.
ARTICLE VI
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
6.01 Confidential License Information
Each Party shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and its and their Representatives not to use or permit the use of, any Confidential License Information of the other Party, except in furtherance of the exercise of such Party’s rights and the performance of such Party’s obligations under this Agreement (the “Purpose”). Each Party further agrees that it shall hold Confidential License Information of the other Party in strict confidence, and shall not disclose, nor permit the disclosure of such Confidential License Information to any Person other than in connection with the Purpose to those Subsidiaries, Representatives, and Third Parties (and in the case of Elanco, such Third Parties described in Section 2.03) who, in each case with respect to Confidential License Information, are bound by written obligations of confidentiality and non-use at least as restrictive in scope as those set forth in this ARTICLE VI prior to any such disclosure. Without limiting the foregoing, if, at the time Lilly discloses any Know-How to Elanco, Lilly also advises Elanco of any proposed patent filings or other measures to be taken to protect the intellectual property rights in or to any products or services in the Lilly Field, then Elanco shall not disclose any such Know-How to any Person or Governmental Authority without Lilly’s express written consent until Lilly advises Elanco that it has made such filings or taken such other measures. For the avoidance of doubt, each Party shall be responsible for any breach of the terms of this ARTICLE VI applicable to such Party’s Subsidiaries, its and their Representatives, and Third Parties to which such Party has disclosed Confidential License Information. Each Party shall promptly notify each other of any unauthorized access, use or disclosure of the other Party’s Know-How and any other Confidential License Information.
6.02 Compelled Disclosure
Each of the Parties and its respective Subsidiaries and its and their Representatives may disclose Confidential License Information to the extent required by applicable Law or, subject to the third sentence in Section 6.01, as requested by a Governmental Authority (other than in connection with Prosecution and Maintenance activities or application or maintenance of Regulatory Approvals); provided that in the event that the disclosure of such information is so required by any applicable Law or Governmental Authority, the Party so compelled will provide the other Party with prompt notice to the extent not prohibited by applicable Law or Governmental Authority so that the other Party or its Subsidiaries may seek an appropriate protective order or similar relief or, if appropriate, waive compliance with the provisions of this ARTICLE VI. Lilly, Elanco or their respective Subsidiaries, as applicable, will, upon request, and to the extent not prohibited from doing so by applicable Law or by such applicable Governmental Authority, use reasonable efforts to assist the other Party or its Subsidiary in obtaining such a protective order or relief. For the avoidance of doubt, any permitted disclosure of any Confidential License Information pursuant to any such requirement of applicable Law or Governmental Authority shall not be deemed to render such Confidential License Information non-confidential.
ARTICLE VII
