Company Right to Prosecute Sample Clauses
The Company Right to Prosecute clause grants the company the authority to initiate and control legal actions, typically in relation to the enforcement or defense of intellectual property rights such as patents or trademarks. In practice, this means the company can decide whether to pursue litigation against infringers, select legal counsel, and determine the strategy for prosecution, sometimes even if the intellectual property was developed by an employee or contractor. This clause ensures that the company maintains control over its valuable assets and can act decisively to protect its interests, thereby preventing unauthorized parties from undermining its rights or diluting its intellectual property.
