Subject to Section 2.2 and 2.3, the UNIVERSITY hereby grants to LICENSEE an exclusive, worldwide license in the Field of Use to the Technology to research, develop, make, have made, use, sell and import Licensed Products and/or Licensed Processes.

RETAINED RIGHTS. Each of the Institutions reserve and retain the right to use and/or license all Know-how, Technology or Study data (“Intellectual Property” ) for the purposes of research and understanding the natural history of SOD1+ ALS and/or for Institutions’ own internal educational and non-commercial research purposes. Additionally, Institutions reserve and retain a non-exclusive right to license any Intellectual Property relating to the placebo data to any third parties for commercial or non-commercial purposes; it being understood and agreed that UNIVERSITY, by and on behalf of the Institutions, shall notify LICENSEE within [*] calendar days of the identity of any licensee (and sublicensee thereof) of such placebo data. Institutions will be free to publish any results of such assessment or research after providing LICENSEE with a [*] day period in which to review each publication to identify any disclosure of LICENSEE’s proprietary information. Upon LICENSEE’s reasonable request, Institutions will delete references to LICENSEE’s proprietary information in any paper or presentation. Notwithstanding anything contrary herein, ALS Association (one of the sponsors of the Study) has a non-exclusive, royalty free, worldwide license to practice all Technology including access to and the right to use biological materials, with the right to grant sublicenses to others, solely for non-commercial research and development purposes.
