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.
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
Infringement Actions 7.1 Licensee shall inform University promptly in writing of any alleged infringement of the Patent Rights by a third party and of any available evidence thereof.
7.2 During the term of this Agreement, Licensee shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to prosecute at its own expense all infringements of the Patent Rights in the Field and in the Territory if Licensee has notified University in writing of its intent to prosecute; provided, however, that such right to bring such an infringement action shall remain in effect only for so long as the license granted herein remains exclusive. In furtherance of such right, University hereby agrees that Licensee may include University as a party plaintiff in any such suit, without expense to University. The total cost of any such infringement action commenced or defended solely by Licensee shall be borne by Licensee and University shall receive a percentage of any recovery or damages for past infringement derived therefrom which is equal to the percentage royalty due University under Article 4. Licensee shall indemnify University against any order for costs that may be made against University in such proceedings.
7.3 If within six (6) months after having been notified of any alleged infringement, Licensee shall have been unsuccessful in persuading the alleged infringer to desist and shall not have brought and shall not be diligently prosecuting an infringement action, or if Licensee shall notify University at any time prior thereto of its intention not to bring suit against any alleged infringer, then, and in those events only, University shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to prosecute at its own expense any infringement of the Patent Rights, and University may, for such purposes, use the name of Licensee as party plaintiff. University shall bear all costs and expenses of any such suit. In any settlement or other conclusion, by litigation or otherwise, University shall keep any recovery or damages for past infringement derived therefrom.
7.4 In the event that a declaratory judgment action alleging invalidity or infringement of any of the Patent Rights shall be brought against University, Licensee, at its option, shall have the right, within thirty (30) days after commencement of such action, to intervene and take over the sole defense of the action at its own expense.
7.5 In any infringement suit either party may institute to enforce the Patent Rights pursuant to this Agreement, the other party shall, at the request and expense of the party initiating such suit, cooperate in all respects and, to the extent possible, have its employees testify when requested and make available relevant records, information, samples, specimens, and other evidence upon request.
