  • Patent Term Extensions The Parties shall use reasonable efforts to obtain all available supplementary protection certificates, patent term restorations, and other extensions (collectively, “Extensions”) of the Acceleron Patent Rights and Joint Patent Rights (including those available under the ▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇ Act). Each Party shall execute such authorizations and other documents and take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by the other Party to obtain such Extensions. The Parties shall cooperate with each other in gaining Extensions wherever applicable to Acceleron Patent Rights or Joint Patent Rights. The holder of the applicable NDA may determine what Extensions of any such Patent Rights shall be made; provided that, if in any country such holder has an option to extend the patent term for only one of several patents, the first Party shall consult with the other Party before making the election. If more than one patent is eligible for such an Extension, the Parties shall select in good faith a strategy that shall maximize patent protection and commercial value for each Licensed Product. All filings for such Extensions, as determined by the holder of the applicable NDA, shall be made by the Party to whom responsibility for Prosecution of the Acceleron Patent Rights or Joint Patent Rights are assigned, and the owner of record of the applicable Patent Right shall assist with such filings; provided that, in the event that the Party to whom such responsibility is assigned elects not to file for an Extension, such Party shall (a) inform the other Party of its intention not to file, (b) grant the other Party the right to file for such Extension in the Patent Rights’ owner’s name, and (c) provide all necessary assistance in connection therewith. The Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) pursuant to the Shire Agreement, Shire and Acceleron will consult in selecting Patent Rights to extend the patent term with respect to “Licensed Products” under the Shire Agreement, and Shire shall make the decision in all countries of the world other than those of North America with respect to such “Licensed Products” under the Shire Agreement, and the filings for Extensions with respect thereto will be made by the party who is responsible for Prosecuting Patent Rights under the Shire Agreement, and, as such, Celgene’s rights under this Section 8.9 are subject to Shire’s prior rights; and (ii) Acceleron shall keep Celgene informed of all elections with respect to Extensions made pursuant to the Shire Agreement that affect Acceleron Patent Rights, and, to the extent that Shire is making any such elections, Acceleron shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Shire to take the actions specified by this Section 8.9 in a manner consistent with the Shire Agreement; provided that Acceleron will not be in breach of its obligations under this Section 8.9 if, after using such commercially reasonable efforts, it is unable to comply with such obligations because of actions taken or not taken by Shire.

  • Patent Term Extension The Parties will cooperate in selecting a patent within the Patent Rights to seek a term extension for or supplementary protection certificate under in accordance with the applicable laws of any country.

  • Filing of Patent Applications Each Party will make timely decisions regarding the filing of Patent Applications on the CRADA Subject Inventions made solely by its employee(s), and will notify the other Party in advance of filing. Collaborator will have the first opportunity to file a Patent Application on joint CRADA Subject Inventions and will notify PHS of its decision within sixty (60) days of an Invention being reported or at least thirty (30) days before any patent filing deadline, whichever occurs sooner. If Collaborator fails to notify PHS of its decision within that time period or notifies PHS of its decision not to file a Patent Application, then PHS has the right to file a Patent Application on the joint CRADA Subject Invention. Neither Party will be obligated to file a Patent Application. Collaborator will place the following statement in any Patent Application it files on a CRADA Subject Invention: “This invention was created in the performance of a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement with the [INSERT into Agency’s model as appropriate: National Institutes of Health, Food and Drug Administration, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention], an Agency of the Department of Health and Human Services. The Government of the United States has certain rights in this invention.” If either Party files a Patent Application on a joint CRADA Subject Invention, then the filing Party will include a statement within the Patent Application that clearly identifies the Parties and states that the joint CRADA Subject Invention was made under this CRADA.
