Filing of Patent Applications Each Party will make timely decisions regarding the filing of Patent Applications on the CRADA Subject Inventions made solely by its employee(s), and will notify the other Party in advance of filing. Collaborator will have the first opportunity to file a Patent Application on joint CRADA Subject Inventions and will notify PHS of its decision within sixty (60) days of an Invention being reported or at least thirty (30) days before any patent filing deadline, whichever occurs sooner. If Collaborator fails to notify PHS of its decision within that time period or notifies PHS of its decision not to file a Patent Application, then PHS has the right to file a Patent Application on the joint CRADA Subject Invention. Neither Party will be obligated to file a Patent Application. Collaborator will place the following statement in any Patent Application it files on a CRADA Subject Invention: “This invention was created in the performance of a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement with the [INSERT into Agency’s model as appropriate: National Institutes of Health, Food and Drug Administration, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention], an Agency of the Department of Health and Human Services. The Government of the United States has certain rights in this invention.” If either Party files a Patent Application on a joint CRADA Subject Invention, then the filing Party will include a statement within the Patent Application that clearly identifies the Parties and states that the joint CRADA Subject Invention was made under this CRADA.

Patents and Patent Applications To the Company’s knowledge, all patents and patent applications owned by or licensed to the Company or under which the Company has rights have been duly and properly filed and maintained; to the knowledge of the Company, the parties prosecuting such applications have complied with their duty of candor and disclosure to the USPTO in connection with such applications; and the Company is not aware of any facts required to be disclosed to the USPTO that were not disclosed to the USPTO and which could reasonably be expected to preclude the grant of a patent in connection with any such application or could reasonably be expected to form the basis of a finding of invalidity with respect to any patents that have issued with respect to such applications.
Maintenance of Patents, Trademarks, Etc Each Loan Party shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain in full force and effect all patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, licenses, franchises, permits and other authorizations necessary for the ownership and operation of its properties and business if the failure so to maintain the same would constitute a Material Adverse Change.
Grant of Patent License Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, You hereby grant to OIDF and to recipients of software distributed by OIDF a perpetual, worldwide, non- exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made, use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work, where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable by You that are necessarily infringed by Your Contribution(s) alone or by combination of Your Contribution(s) with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If any entity institutes patent litigation against You or any other entity (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that your Contribution, or the Work to which you have contributed, constitutes direct or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses granted to that entity under this Agreement for that Contribution or Work shall terminate as of the date such litigation is filed.
Enforcement of Patent Rights Each party promptly shall notify the other party of any infringement known to it of the Licensed Patent Rights and shall provide the other party with the available evidence, if any, of such infringement. Allos, at its sole expense, shall have the right (but not the obligation) to determine the appropriate course of action to enforce the Licensed Patent Rights or otherwise xxxxx the infringement thereof, to take (or refrain from taking) appropriate action to enforce the Licensed Patent Rights, to control any litigation or other enforcement action and to enter into, or permit, the settlement of any such litigation or other enforcement action with respect to the Licensed Patent Rights, and shall consider, in good faith, the interests of Licensor in so doing. Within ninety (90) days after notice of a substantial and continuing infringement of the Licensed Patent Rights, Allos shall notify Licensor whether or not Allos intends to take action against the alleged infringer. If Allos notifies Licensor that it does not intend to take action, or if within one hundred eighty (180) days after receipt of notice Allos does not xxxxx such infringement or file suit to enforce the Licensed Patent Rights against each infringing party, Licensor shall have the right to take whatever action it deems appropriate to enforce the Licensed Patent Rights, including bringing and controlling at its own expense a legal action in which, if legally necessary, Allos may be a named plaintiff. The party controlling any such enforcement action shall not settle the action or otherwise consent to a judgment in such action that results in any grant to the third party of rights under the Licensed Patent Rights, without the prior written consent of the non-controlling party which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. All monies recovered upon the final judgment or settlement of any such suit to enforce the Licensed Patent Rights shall, after payment of expenses, be retained by the party controlling the enforcement. Each party shall reasonably cooperate with the other party in the planning and execution of any action to enforce the Licensed Patent Rights; provided, however, each party shall be reimbursed for reasonable expenses, including legal fees, for such cooperation.
Prosecution and Maintenance of Patent Rights 4.1. GENERAL shall be responsible for the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of all patent applications and patents included in PATENT RIGHTS. GENERAL shall use reasonable efforts to obtain the issuance of the broadest valid claims in such applications in such countries as METASYN may, from time to time specify. METASYN shall reimburse GENERAL for all reasonable costs incurred by GENERAL both prior to and subsequent to the LICENSE EFFECTIVE DATE for the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of all PATENT RIGHTS ("COSTS") except as hereinafter provided, provided that patent counsel selected by GENERAL is acceptable to METASYN. With respect to COSTS incurred by GENERAL prior to the LICENSE EFFECTIVE DATE, GENERAL shall provide METASYN with a detailed accounting of such COSTS within thirty (30) days of the LICENSE EFFECTIVE DATE and METASYN shall reimburse GENERAL for such costs in twenty four (24) equal monthly installments commencing on the first day of the month following the month in which METASYN receives such accounting. With respect to COSTS incurred subsequent to the LICENSE EFFECTIVE DATE, GENERAL shall be reimbursed by METASYN within thirty (30) days of receipt of GENERAL's notice of payment of such COSTS and any COSTS not reimbursed within said thirty (30) days shall be charged interest at the rate of 1.5 percent per month compounded each thirty (30) days they remain unpaid. Subsequent to the LICENSE EFFECTIVE DATE, GENERAL (and by instruction, its patent counsel) shall consult with METASYN and its patent counsel as to the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of such PATENT RIGHTS and shall furnish to METASYN copies of documents relevant to such preparation, filing, prosecution or maintenance sufficiently prior to filing such documents or making any payment due thereunder to allow for review and comment by METASYN. If, as a result of any such review, METASYN shall elect not to pay the expenses of any patent application or patent included in PATENT RIGHTS, METASYN shall so notify GENERAL within thirty (30) days of the receipt of such documents and shall thereby surrender its rights under such patent application or patent, provided, however, that METASYN shall remain obligated to reimburse GENERAL for any costs incurred with respect to such patent application or patent prior to said election.
