Patent Maintenance All annuity and maintenance fees that are necessary in order to keep the Patents in force as of the Effective Date have been paid by Seller, and no payment of annuities or fees, or papers to be filed in patent offices, are required to be made within the three-month period after the Effective Date.
Repairs and Maintenance It is the responsibility of the Tenant(s) to notify the Landlord immediately of any needed repair or unsafe condition existing around or in the Premises including but not limited to cracks in the foundation, cracks in plaster, moisture in walls and ceiling, buckling sheetrock or siding, or any leaks. If Xxxxxx(s) fails to immediately notify Landlord of visible problems, which result in damage to the unit, then Tenant(s) becomes liable for cost of resultant damage. All repairs necessary to maintain premises shall be done by or under the direction of the Landlord, at the Landlord’s expense, except those caused by negligence or acts of Tenant(s), Tenant’s agents, or invitees, which repairs shall be made at the sole cost of the Tenant(s). Such repairs shall be made to conform to the original condition of the Premises at the time the Tenant(s) took possession. Although the Landlord repairs normal wear and tear items, the adage “you broke it you pay to fix it” applies to the Tenant(s) and it applies during tenancy as well as at the end of tenancy. In addition, if a Tenant(s) calls for maintenance for which no such maintenance is needed (false call), Tenant(s) will be charged for the service call. Any repairs, including labor, material, and parts used, which are the responsibility of the Tenant(s), must be pre-approved in writing by the Landlord. Landlord shall be the sole judge as to what repairs are necessary. Landlord shall have no obligation to repair any defective condition, nor shall any defense or remedy be available to the Tenant(s), where the defective condition complained of was caused by the Tenant, Xxxxxx’s family, invitee, licensee, or other person acting under the control or direction of the Tenant(s), or where the Tenant unreasonably fails to notify the Landlord of the condition or allow the Landlord access to the Premises for purposes of the repair. Before exercising any of the remedies in accordance with the Landlord-Tenant Act, Tenant(s) must be current in rent. Tenant(s) shall be responsible for all broken glass. Tenant(s) shall not paint, re-wallpaper, or otherwise redecorate or make alterations to the Premises without the written consent of the Landlord. If written consent is given, such alterations shall be at the expense of the Tenant(s) and shall become part of the Premises and the Owner’s property upon termination of this Lease and tenancy. Tenant(s) shall not permit any act or thing deemed hazardous by Landlord due to potential risk of fire or which will increase the rate of insurance on said Premises. In case the Premises or surrounding areas shall be damaged by fire, rain, wind, or other cause beyond the control of the Landlord or the Tenant, then the Premises or surrounding areas shall be repaired within a reasonable time at the expense of the Landlord; and in case the damage is so extensive as to render the Premises unfit for human habitation, the rent shall cease until such time as the Premises will be put in repair. In case of total destruction, the rent shall be paid until the time of such destruction and from thenceforth this Lease Agreement shall cease and come to an end. In the event, the damage is caused by the act of the Tenant(s), or someone in or on the Premises by reason of Tenant’s permission or consent, there shall be no reduction of rent and Tenant(s) shall be liable for all costs of repair. Should Landlord notify Tenant(s) of intent to clean, replace carpets or paint the Premises, moving furniture and wall hangings shall be the duty and expense of the Tenant(s). Tenant(s) understands there will be no rent reductions, adjustments, or other compensation due to repairs or interruptions of service except as provided by law.
Prosecution and Maintenance Each party retains the sole right to protect at its sole discretion the Intellectual Property and Technology owned by such party, including, without limitation, deciding whether to file and prosecute applications to register patents, copyrights and mask work rights included in such Intellectual Property, whether to abandon prosecution of such applications, and whether to discontinue payment of any maintenance or renewal fees with respect to any patents included in such Intellectual Property.
RECORDS MAINTENANCE The CONTRACTOR shall maintain books, records, documents, data and other evidence relating to this contract and performance of the services described herein, including but not limited to accounting procedures and practices that sufficiently and properly reflect all direct and indirect costs of any nature expended in the performance of this contract. CONTRACTOR shall retain such records for a period of six years following the date of final payment. At no additional cost, these records, including materials generated under the contract, shall be subject at all reasonable times to inspection, review or audit by the AGENCY, personnel duly authorized by the AGENCY, the Office of the State Auditor, and federal and state officials so authorized by law, regulation or agreement. If any litigation, claim or audit is started before the expiration of the six (6) year period, the records shall be retained until all litigation, claims, or audit findings involving the records have been resolved.
USE AND MAINTENANCE (a) Lessee shall: (1) use the Equipment solely in the Continental United States and in the conduct of its business, consistent with Lessee's past practice, and shall not permanently discontinue use of the Equipment; (2) operate, maintain, service and repair the Equipment, and maintain all records and other materials relating thereto, (i) in accordance and consistent with (A) the Supplier's recommendations and all maintenance and operating manuals or service agreements, whenever furnished or entered into, including any subsequent amendments or replacements thereof, consistent with Lessee's past practice, (B) the requirements of all applicable insurance policies, (C) all applicable laws, and (D) the prudent practice of other similar companies in the same business as Lessee, but in any event, to no lesser standard than that employed by Lessee for comparable equipment owned or leased by it; and (ii) without limiting the foregoing, so as to cause the Equipment to be in good repair and operating condition and in at least the same condition as when delivered to Lessee hereunder, except for ordinary wear and tear; (3) not change the location of any Equipment as specified in the Equipment Schedule without prior written notice to Lessor; (4) not attach or incorporate the Equipment to or in any other item of equipment in such a manner that the Equipment may be deemed to have become an accession to or a part of such other item of equipment; and (5) cause each principal item of the Equipment to be continually marked, in a plain and distinct manner, with the name of Lessor followed by the words "Owner and Lessor," or other appropriate words designated by Lessor on labels furnished by Lessor. (b) Within a reasonable time, Lessee will replace any parts of the Equipment which become worn out, lost, destroyed, damaged beyond repair or otherwise permanently rendered unfit for use, by new or reconditioned replacement parts which are free and clear of all liens, encumbrances or rights of others and have a value, utility and remaining useful life at least equal to the parts replaced. Title to all replacement parts and permanent improvements, or attachments to the Equipment which cannot be removed without damaging the Equipment, immediately shall vest in Lessor, without cost or expense to Lessor or any further action by any other person, and such parts, improvements and additions shall be deemed incorporated in the Equipment and subject to the terms of this Lease as if originally leased hereunder, if such parts are essential to the operation of the Equipment or cannot be detached from the Equipment without materially interfering with the operation of the Equipment or adversely affecting the value, utility and remaining useful life which the Equipment would have had without the addition thereof. Lessee shall not make any material alterations to the Equipment without prior written notice to Lessor, provided that such material alterations do not adversely affect the value, utility and remaining useful life which the Equipment would have had without the addition thereof. (c) Upon forty-eight (48) hours' notice, Lessee shall afford Lessor access to the premises where the Equipment is located for the purpose of inspecting such Equipment and all applicable maintenance or other records at any reasonable time during normal business hours; provided, however, if a default or Default shall have occurred and then be continuing, no notice of any inspection by Lessor shall be required.
Patent Prosecution and Maintenance 14.1 REGENTS will diligently prosecute and maintain the United States and foreign patent applications and patents under REGENTS' PATENT RIGHTS, subject to LICENSEE’S reimbursement REGENTS’ out of pocket costs under Paragraph 14.3 below, and all patent applications and patents under REGENTS’ PATENT RIGHTS will be held in the name of REGENTS. REGENTS will have sole responsibility for retaining and instructing patent counsel, but continued use of such counsel at any point in the patent prosecution process subsequent to initial filing of a U.S. patent application covering the INVENTION shall be subject to the approval of LICENSEE. If LICENSEE rejects three of REGENTS’ choice of prosecution counsel, then REGENTS may select new prosecution counsel without LICENSEE’s consent. REGENTS shall promptly provide LICENSEE with copies of all relevant documentation so that LICENSEE may be currently informed and apprised of the continuing prosecution and LICENSEE agrees to keep this documentation confidential in accordance with Article 26. LICENSEE may comment upon such documentation, provided, however, that if LICENSEE has not commented upon such documentation in reasonable time for REGENTS to sufficiently consider LICENSEE’s comments prior to the deadline for filing a response with the relevant government patent office, REGENTS will be free to respond appropriately without consideration of LICENSEE's comments. LICENSEE and LICENSEE's patent counsel will have the right to consult with patent counsel chosen by REGENTS.
Operation and Maintenance 17.1 O&M obligations of the Concessionaire
Prosecution and Maintenance of Patents Patent Costs ----------------------------------------------------
Operations and Maintenance Pursuant to Section 10.5 of this Agreement, Developer shall pay the reasonable expenses (including overheads) for the operation, maintenance, repair and replacement of Transmission Owner’s Attachment Facilities and incremental operating and maintenance expenses incurred in association with System Upgrade Facilities, if and to the extent provided for under Attachment S. For Transmission Owner’s Attachment Facilities, such expenses are calculated as follows:
Road Maintenance Purchaser shall maintain roads, commensurate with Purchaser’s use, in accor- dance with Road Maintenance Requirements in C5.31 and the Road Maintenance Specifications. Performance of road maintenance work by Purchaser may be required prior to, during, or after each period of use. The timing of work accomplishment shall be based on Purchaser’s Op- erating Schedule under B6.31. When two or more commercial users are simultane- ously using the same road where Forest Service is not requiring maintenance deposits, the commercial users will develop maintenance responsibilities and arrangements for accomplishing the work. Forest Service must agree to this plan. If the commercial users cannot agree on main- tenance responsibilities, Forest Service shall resolve the differences. If Purchaser elects to use different roads than those listed in C5.31, Forest Service shall determine Pur- chaser’s commensurate share of road maintenance and revise road maintenance deposits in C5.32. If Forest Service cannot perform its full commensu- rate share of road maintenance, Forest Service shall make a cash payment to Purchaser for performance of such work. Unless agreed in writing, prehaul maintenance shall be completed on any portion of road prior to hauling on that portion. Maintenance, as used in this contract, does not include road reconstruction or repairs of an extraordi- nary nature.
