Developed Technology. 5.1 INOGEN shall own INOGEN Developed Technology and it shall be licensed to AIR PRODUCTS in accordance with Section 2.5. 5.2 AIR PRODUCTS shall own AP Developed Technology and it shall be licensed to INOGEN in accordance with Section 2.2. 5.3 INOGEN shall own and AIR PRODUCTS shall assign to INOGEN any and all of the Jointly Developed Technology with AIR PRODUCTS having the license rights granted in Section 2.5, provided that such ownership may shift to AIR PRODUCTS if INOGEN chooses not to file patent applications and/or AIR PRODUCTS files patents or patent applications to protect some of the Jointly Developed Technology in accordance with this Section 5.3 or Section 5.4. Before INOGEN files any patent application(s) to protect Jointly Developed Technology, INOGEN shall provide AIR PRODUCTS with up to thirty (30) days to review each patent application. AIR PRODUCTS may elect to file its own patent application(s) to further protect the invention, e.g. for use of the invention outside the Field, and if so shall provide Notice to INOGEN of its desire to file patent application(s) prior to the end of the thirty (30) day review period. Upon receiving Notice, INOGEN shall provide AIR PRODUCTS with sixty (60) additional days to prepare its own patent application. The Parties shall coordinate the filing of their patent applications so that neither Party creates prior art against the other Party’s patent application(s). INOGEN agrees to assign the patents filed by AIR PRODUCTS covering Jointly Developed Technology to AIR PRODUCTS. Alternatively, after AIR PRODUCTS’ review of INOGEN’s patent application(s), AIR PRODUCTS may suggest claims which improve the application, with the understanding that INOGEN is under no obligation to include the suggested claims in the patent filing. 5.4 If AIR PRODUCTS desires to file a patent covering Jointly Developed Technology which is not patented by INOGEN, AIR PRODUCTS shall provide Notice to INOGEN’s Contact Person identifying the portion of the Jointly Developed Technology that AIR PRODUCTS desires to patent. INOGEN’s Contact Person shall respond in writing to AIR PRODUCTS within 30 days of receiving the request whether or not it elects or does not elect to protect the portion of the Jointly Developed Technology. If INOGEN elects not to protect the portion of the Jointly Developed Technology that AIR PRODUCTS would like to protect, then AIR PRODUCTS may file patents or patent applications to protect that portion of the Jointly Developed Technology. (If INOGEN elects to file patent(s) to protect that portion of the Jointly Developed Technology, then Section 5.3 controls.) If INOGEN does not elect to protect that portion of the Jointly Developed Technology, AIR PRODUCTS shall give INOGEN an opportunity to review the application and suggest claims which improve the application, with the understanding that AIR PRODUCTS is under no obligation to include the suggested claims in the patent filing. INOGEN shall submit its comments on the application, if any, within 30 days of its receipt of the application for its review. INOGEN shall assign the patent application(s) filed by AIR PRODUCTS under this Section 5.4
