Patent Infringement 18.1 If either party learns of infringement of potential commercial significance of any of the REGENTS' PATENT RIGHTS, it will provide the other with: (i) written notice of such infringement and (ii) any evidence of such infringement available to it (the "Infringement Notice"). Neither party will put an alleged infringer on notice of the existence of any of the REGENTS' PATENT RIGHTS without first obtaining consent of the other. Both the REGENTS and the LICENSEE will use their diligent efforts to terminate such infringement without litigation.
18.2 If the matter described in the Infringement Notice is not resolved within ninety (90) days of receipt of the Infringement Notice, then the LICENSEE may institute suit for patent infringement. The LICENSEE may not join the REGENTS as a party in such suit without the REGENTS' prior written consent. If the REGENTS joins such suit at the LICENSEE’s request or is involuntarily joined, the LICENSEE will pay all out-of-pocket costs incurred by the REGENTS arising out of such suit.
18.3 If, within a hundred and twenty (120) days of receipt of the Infringement Notice, the matter described in the Infringement Notice has not been resolved and the LICENSEE has not filed suit against the infringer, then the REGENTS may institute suit for patent infringement against the infringer. If the REGENTS institutes such suit, then the LICENSEE may not join such suit without the REGENTS' consent and may not thereafter commence suit against the infringer for the acts of infringement that are the subject of the REGENTS' suit or any judgment rendered in that suit.
18.4 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this AGREEMENT, in the event that either party receives written notice of infringement under the Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984 (and/or foreign counterparts of this Law) (“The Act”), then the party in receipt of such notice under the Act will promptly provide the Infringement Notice to the other party. If under the Act the LICENSEE will lose the right to pursue legal remedies for infringement by not filing suit, the notification period and the time period to file suit under Paragraph 18.2 will be accelerated to within forty-five (45) days from receipt of the Infringement Notice to either party.
18.5 Any recovery or settlement received in connection with any suit will first be shared by the REGENTS and the LICENSEE equally to cover any litigation costs each incurred and will next be paid to the REGENTS or the LICENSEE to cover any litigation costs it incurred in excess of the litigation costs of the other. In any suit initiated by the LICENSEE, any recovery in excess of litigation costs will be shared between LICENSEE and the REGENTS as follows: (a) for any recovery other than amounts paid for willful infringement: (i) the REGENTS will receive fifteen percent (15%) of the recovery if the REGENTS did not incur any litigation costs or all of the REGENTS’ litigation costs were reimbursed by LICENSEE, (ii) the REGENTS will receive thirty percent (30%) of the recovery if the REGENTS incurred any litigation costs in connection with the litigation that were not reimbursed by LICENSEE; and
Claimed Infringement Each Party will promptly notify the other Party if a Third Party brings any Action alleging patent infringement by Lian or Landos or any of their respective Affiliates or Sublicensees with respect to the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of any Licensed Product or Joint Patent Rights (any such Action, an “Infringement Claim”) in the Territory. Lian will have the right, but not the obligation, to control the defense and response to any such Infringement Claim in the Territory with respect to Lian’s activities, at Lian’s sole cost and expense, and Landos will have the right, at its own expense, to be represented in any such Infringement Claim in the Territory by counsel of its own choice. Landos will have the sole right, but not the obligation, to control the defense and response to any such Infringement Claim with respect to Landos’ activities, including any such Infringement Claim in the Territory or outside of the Territory. Upon the request of the Party controlling the response to the Infringement Claim, the other Party will reasonably cooperate with the controlling Party in the reasonable defense of such Infringement Claim. The other Party will have the right to consult with the controlling Party concerning any Infringement Claim and to participate in and be represented by independent counsel in any associated litigation. If the Infringement Claim is brought against both Parties, then each Party will have the right to defend against the Infringement Claim. The Party defending an Infringement Claim under this Section 7.4 (Claimed Infringement) will (a) consult with the other Party as to the strategy for the prosecution of such defense, (b) consider in good faith any comments from the other Party with respect thereto and (c) keep the other Party reasonably informed of any material steps taken and provide copies of all material documents filed, in connection with such defense. The Party controlling the defense against an Infringement Claim will have the right to settle such Infringement Claim on terms deemed reasonably appropriate by such Party, provided, that, neither Party will have the right to settle any Infringement Claim under this Section 7.4 (Claimed Infringement) in a manner that diminishes the rights or interests of the other Party under this Agreement without the consent of such other Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.
Copyright Infringement Contractor shall also indemnify, defend and hold harmless all Indemnitees from all suits or claims for infringement of the patent rights, copyright, trade secret, trade name, trademark, service ▇▇▇▇, or any other proprietary right of any person or persons in consequence of the use by the City, or any of its boards, commissions, officers, or employees of articles, work or deliverables supplied in the performance of Services. Infringement of patent rights, copyrights, or other proprietary rights in the performance of this Agreement, if not the basis for indemnification under the law, shall nevertheless be considered a material breach of contract.
Patent Rights The State and the U. S. Department of Transportation shall have the royalty free, nonexclusive and irrevocable right to use and to authorize others to use any patents developed by the Engineer under this contract.
Intellectual Property Infringement a. If a third party makes a claim against Ordering Activity that the Appian Software directly infringes any patent, copyright, or trademark or misappropriate any trade secret (“IP Claim”); Contractor will to the extent permitted by 28 U.S.C. 516 (i) assist in defending Ordering Activity against the IP Claim at Contractor’s cost and expense, and (ii) pay all costs, damages and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) finally awarded against Ordering Activity by a court of competent jurisdiction or agreed to in a written settlement agreement signed by Contractor arising out of such IP Claim; provided that: (I) Ordering Activity promptly notifies Contractor in writing no later than sixty (60) days after Ordering Activity’s receipt of notification of a potential claim and (II) Ordering Activity provides Contractor, at Contractor’s request and expense, with the assistance, information and authority necessary to perform Contractor’s obligations under this Section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Contractor shall have no liability for any claim of infringement based on (I) the use of a superseded or altered release of the Appian Software if the infringement would have been avoided by the use of a current unaltered release of the Appian Software, (II) the modification of the Appian Software, (III) the use of the Appian Software other than in accordance with the then current Documentation or this Agreement, or (IV) any materials or information provided to Contractor by Ordering Activity, for which Ordering Activity shall be solely responsible.
b. If the Appian Software is held to infringe or are believed by Contractor to infringe, Contractor shall have the option, at its expense, to (i) replace or modify the Appian Software to be non-infringing, or (ii) obtain for Ordering Activity a license to continue using the Appian Software. If it is not commercially reasonable to perform either of the foregoing options, then Contractor may terminate the license for the infringing Appian Software and refund the license fees paid for the Appian Software upon return of the Appian Software by Ordering Activity. This section states Contractor’s entire liability and Ordering Activity’s exclusive remedy for any claim of infringement; provided, however, if the license is for a cloud subscription described in Section B of this Agreement, then Appian shall only refund to Ordering Activity those license fees that were pre-paid and unearned at the time Appian terminates the license.
