Common use of Enforcement Right Clause in Contracts

Enforcement Right. iBio shall have the first right (but not the obligation) to bring and control any legal action against any Third Party engaged in any Product Infringement at its own expense as it determines appropriate. During any such claim, suit, or proceeding, iBio shall (A) keep AstralBio reasonably informed of all material developments in connection with such claim, suit or proceeding; (B) reasonably consider AstralBio’s comments; and (C) not settle any such claim, suit or proceeding except in a manner that is consistent with this Agreement and does not result in an admission of liability on the part of AstralBio or any of its Affiliates. If iBio: (i) elects to not bring such legal action with respect to such Product Infringement (the decision of which iBio shall inform AstralBio promptly) or (ii) otherwise fails to bring such legal action within ninety (90) days after first becoming aware of such Product Infringement, then AstralBio shall have the right (but not the obligation) to bring and control any legal action in connection with such Product Infringement at its own expense as it reasonably determines appropriate. Subject to the foregoing, each Party shall have the first right to bring and control any legal action to enforce the Patents it Controls at its own expense and by counsel of its own choice as it reasonably determines appropriate, and such Party shall consider in good faith the interests of the other Party in such enforcement. The Party bringing legal action shall not enter into any settlement admitting the invalidity of, or otherwise impairing, any AstralBio Licensed Patents impacting Licensed Products without the prior written consent of the other Party.
