Common use of Foreign Applications Clause in Contracts

Foreign Applications. UKRF hereby authorizes LICENSEE, in the name of UKRF or its employees, at LICENSEE's expense, to apply for and seek prompt issuance of, and upon issuance, maintain during the term of this Agreement foreign patent applications and patents as described in the PATENT RIGHTS or as may otherwise apply to the TECHNOLOGY. LICENSEE shall apply all reasonable efforts to retain broad patent claims as are reasonable and practical taking into consideration the need and likelihood of patent issuance and enforceability. UKRF shall take all actions necessary to cooperate with and assist LICENSEE in the filing and prosecution of such patent applications including but not limited to appropriate invention disclosures and execution of documents as requested by LICENSEE's patent counsel. LICENSEE shall keep UKRF informed as to the status of such patent applications including providing UKRF with copies of all written communications with the patent offices, and consulting with UKRF on responses to the patent offices in advance of submission. If LICENSEE fails to diligently pursue any of such patent applications and, within sixty (60) days of UKRF's written request, which shall include submission to LICENSEE of an invention disclosure suitable for implementing the action specified in the request, fails to take such actions set forth in such request respecting the prosecution of any of such patent applications or if LICENSEE abandons any such patent application, UKRF shall have the right, at its expense, to take such actions as are necessary to pursue such patent applications. UKRF shall execute such documents as are reasonably necessary to file with the Patent and Trademark Office notice of LICENSEE's exclusive license under the PATENTS RIGHTS.
