Cooperation of the Parties Each Party agrees to cooperate fully in the preparation, filing, and prosecution of any Patent Rights under this Agreement. Such cooperation includes, but is not limited to:
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.
Maintenance of Intellectual Property The Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, take all reasonable action necessary or advisable to maintain all of the Intellectual Property Rights of the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries that are necessary or material to the conduct of its business in full force and effect.
Research Collaboration Upon FibroGen’s request, the Parties will discuss conducting a research program funded by AstraZeneca and directed toward franchise enhancement and lifecycle management for HIF Compounds or other topics that the Parties determine relevant to the Products and the Field. Upon agreement on the terms of such research program, the Parties will enter into a separate agreement or amend this Agreement accordingly.

Research use will occur solely in connection with the approved research project described in the DAR, which includes a 1-2 paragraph description of the proposed research (i.e., a Research Use Statement). Investigators interested in using Cloud Computing for data storage and analysis must request permission to use Cloud Computing in the DAR and identify the Cloud Service Provider (CSP) or providers and/or Private Cloud System (PCS) that they propose to use. They must also submit a Cloud Computing Use Statement as part of the DAR that describes the type of service and how it will be used to carry out the proposed research as described in the Research Use Statement.
