FTO Search Clause Samples

FTO Search. For the Deliverables under this Agreement, Partner shall conduct a reasonable Free Implementation (FTO) search upon request from GX and notify GX in writing of any potential Intellectual Property Right infringement risks identified. The cost of the FTO search shall be borne by GX, and the specific amount shall be based on a quotation agreement issued by Partner based on reasonable workload. If the infringement risks identified cannot be avoided through commercially reasonable redesign or circumvention measures, the Parties shall jointly negotiate to obtain the necessary licenses or authorizations from relevant third parties. If, after the Parties have made commercially reasonable efforts, unless otherwise agreed, the necessary licenses or authorizations cannot be obtained within thirty (30) days after either Party has written confirmation of the need, the Parties shall separately negotiate subsequent handling measures, including suspending or terminating the affected project or component and exploring alternative technologies or solutions, or renegotiating the terms of the collaboration to address the unresolved infringement risks. Issues concerning the license of Standard Essential Patents involved in the Deliverables under this Agreement and the risks of intellectual property infringement litigation arising from such Standard Essential Patents(“SEPs”) shall be handled and resolved independently by GX and are not within the scope of the FTO search provided that the licensing fee for such SEPs are not included in the quotation provided by Partner. 专利自由实施检索。对于本协议下的交付物，应GX要求，合作伙伴应进行合理的自由实施（FTO）检索，并书面通知GX检索到的潜在知识产权侵权风险。FTO检索所产生的费用由GX承担，具体金额以合作伙伴基于合理工作量出具的报价单为准。如果检索到的侵权风险无法通过商业上合理的重新设计或规避措施来避免，双方应共同协商，从相关第三方获得必要的许可或授权。如果在双方做出商业上合理的努力后，除另有约定外，在任何一方书面确定需要后的三十（30）天内仍无法获得必要的许可或授权，双方应另行协商后续处理措施，包括暂停或终止受影响的项目或组件，探索替代技术或解决方案，或重新协商合作条款以解决未解决的侵权风险。关于工程服务协议下的交付物涉及的标准必要专利的使用许可问题及因该标准必要专利引起的知识产权侵权诉讼风险，若该标准必要专利许可费用未包含在合作伙伴提供的报价中的，由GX独立处理与解决，不在FTO检索的任务范围。
