Common use of Right to Take Action Clause in Contracts

Right to Take Action. If a suspected infringement or misappropriation does not involve a Covered Infringement, Hengrui may take, or refrain from taking, any action Hengrui chooses, and Arcutis shall have no right to take any action with respect to such suspected infringement or misappropriation, nor to any recoveries with respect thereto. Hengrui will exert reasonable efforts to keep Arcutis informed of actions Hengrui may take as described in the preceding sentence. If the suspected infringement involves a Covered Infringement, Arcutis shall, within thirty (30) days of the first notice referred to in Section 7.3.1, inform Hengrui whether or not Arcutis (and/or its Sublicensee) intends to institute suit against such Third Party with respect to such Covered Infringement. Hengrui will not take any steps toward instituting suit against any Third Party involving a Covered Infringement until Arcutis has informed Hengrui of its intention pursuant to the previous sentence.
