Common use of Assignment of PATENT RIGHT Clause in Contracts

Assignment of PATENT RIGHT. If LICENSEE elects to commence an action as described in Section 7.2 above, LICENSOR shall have, in its sole discretion, the option to permit such action to be brought in its name and to be joined as a party-plaintiff if so required by law, or to assign to LICENSEE all of LICENSOR’s right, title and interest in and to the PATENT RIGHT which is the subject of such action (subject to all of LICENSOR’s obligations to the government under law and any other rights that others may have in such PATENT RIGHT). If LICENSOR makes such an assignment, such assignment shall be irrevocable, and such action by LICENSEE shall thereafter be brought or continued without LICENSOR as a party, if LICENSOR is no longer an indispensable party; provided, however, that LICENSEE shall continue to meet all of its obligations under this AGREEMENT as if the assigned PATENT RIGHT were still licensed to LICENSEE.
