Infringement Action Sample Clauses

An Infringement Action clause defines the procedures and responsibilities of the parties if a third party claims that a product, service, or intellectual property covered by the agreement infringes on their rights. Typically, this clause outlines which party will control the defense or settlement of such claims, who will bear the associated costs, and how the parties will cooperate during the process. Its core practical function is to allocate risk and clarify the steps to be taken in the event of an infringement allegation, thereby minimizing confusion and potential disputes between the parties.
