INFRINGEMENT AND PATENT ENFORCEMENT 11.01 PHS and Licensee agree to notify each other promptly of each infringement or possible infringement of the Licensed Patent Rights, as well as any facts which may affect the validity, scope, or enforceability of the Licensed Patent Rights of which either Party becomes aware.
11.02 Pursuant to this Agreement and the provisions of Chapter 29 of title 35, United States Code, Licensee may: a) bring suit in its own name, at its own expense, and on its own behalf for infringement of presumably valid claims in the Licensed Patent Rights; b) in any such suit, enjoin infringement and collect for its use, damages, profits, and awards of whatever nature recoverable for such infringement; and c) settle any claim or suit for infringement of the Licensed Patent Rights provided, however, that PHS and appropriate Government authorities shall have the first right to take such actions. If Licensee desires to initiate a suit for patent infringement, Licensee shall notify PHS in writing. If PHS does not notify Licensee of its intent to pursue legal action within ninety (90) days, Licensee will be free to initiate suit. PHS shall have a continuing right to intervene in such suit. Licensee shall take no action to compel the Government either to initiate or to join in any such suit for patent infringement. Licensee may request the Government to initiate or join in any such suit if necessary to avoid dismissal of the suit. Should the Government be made a party to any such suit, Licensee shall reimburse the Government for any costs, expenses, or fees which the Government incurs as a result of such motion or other action, including any and all costs incurred by the Government in opposing any such motion or other action. In all cases, Licensee agrees to keep PHS reasonably apprised of the status and progress of any litigation. Before Licensee commences an infringement action, Licensee shall notify PHS and give careful consideration to the views of PHS and to any potential effects of the litigation on the public health in deciding whether to bring suit.
Patent Enforcement (a) Each Party shall promptly notify the other after becoming aware of any alleged or threatened infringement by a Third Party of any Pandion Collaboration IP Patent Right, Astellas Collaboration IP Patent Right or Joint Collaboration IP Patent Right, including any “patent certification” filed in the United States under 21 U.S.C. §355(b)(2) or 21 U.S.C. §355(j)(2) or similar provisions in other jurisdictions and of any declaratory judgment, opposition, or similar action alleging the invalidity, unenforceability or non-infringement of any Pandion Collaboration IP Patent Right, Astellas Collaboration IP Patent Right or Joint Collaboration IP Patent Right (collectively, “Infringement”).
(b) Astellas shall have the first right to bring and control any legal action in connection with any Infringement at its own expense as it reasonably determines appropriate, and Pandion shall have the right to be represented in any such action by counsel of its choice. Astellas shall provide Pandion and its counsel with copies all court filings and material supporting documentation, and, at the request of Pandion, reasonable access to Astellas’ counsel for consultation, provided that, unless Pandion is joined as a party to such action, any counsel retained by Pandion shall not act as attorney of record for any such action, or conduct any legal proceedings as part of such action, unless specifically requested by Astellas and at Astellas’ expense. If Astellas decides not to bring such legal action, it shall so notify Pandion promptly in writing and Pandion shall have the right to bring and control any legal action in connection with such Infringement at its own expense as it reasonably determines appropriate after consultation with Astellas.
(c) At the request of the Party bringing the action, the other Party shall provide reasonable assistance in connection therewith, including by executing reasonably appropriate documents, cooperating in discovery and joining as a party to the action if required.
(d) In connection with any such proceeding, the Party bringing the action shall not enter into any settlement admitting the invalidity of, or otherwise impairing the other Party’s rights in, the Pandion Collaboration IP Patent Rights, Astellas Collaboration IP Patent Rights or Joint Collaboration IP Patent Rights without the prior written consent of the other Party.
(e) Any recoveries resulting from enforcement action relating to a claim of Infringement shall be first applied against payment of each Party’s costs and expenses in connection therewith. Any such recoveries in excess of such costs and expenses (the “Remainder”) shall be split as follows: (i) if Astellas brought the enforcement action, Astellas shall receive [**] percent ([**]%) of the Remainder and Pandion shall receive [**] percent ([**]%) of the Remainder, and (ii) if Pandion brought the enforcement action, Pandion shall receive [**] percent ([**]%) of the Remainder and Astellas shall receive [**] percent ([**]%) of the Remainder.
