Provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, that under no circumstances, shall Zymeworks use Zymeworks Intellectual Property to make, use, sell, offer to sell or import Antibodies or Products or use any Antibodies to make, use, sell, offer to sell or import other products during the term of this Agreement. For clarity, nothing in this Section 3.5.2 shall grant either Party any rights under any Patent Rights, Know-How or other intellectual property rights Controlled by the other Party or its Affiliates for purposes set forth in this Section 3.5.2.
