Harvard Sample Clauses
The HARVARD clause typically refers to a provision that incorporates or references the Harvard Law School's model or standard terms, often used in licensing or research agreements. In practice, this clause may specify that certain intellectual property rights, licensing terms, or dispute resolution procedures will follow the guidelines or templates developed by Harvard, such as those for technology transfer or academic collaborations. Its core function is to provide a well-recognized, balanced framework for managing rights and obligations, thereby reducing negotiation time and ensuring fairness based on established best practices.
Harvard. Subject to Article 8, Harvard shall be responsible for the preparation, filing, prosecution, protection and maintenance of all Harvard Patent Rights and [**] Poly Peptide Patent Rights (collectively, the “Harvard Prosecuted Patent Rights”), using patent counsel reasonably acceptable to Licensee and will instruct such patent counsel to furnish Licensee with copies of all correspondence relating to the Harvard Prosecuted Patent Rights from the United States Patent and Trademark Office and any other patent office as well as copies of all proposed responses to such correspondence in time for Licensee to review and comment on such response. Harvard shall prepare, file, prosecute, protect and maintain the Harvard Prosecuted Patent Rights in good faith. Subject in each case to Licensee’s prior agreement to cover the relevant costs in accordance with Section 3.2, Harvard shall file national phase applications in all countries requested by Licensee. Harvard shall consult with Licensee as to the preparation, filing, prosecution, protection and maintenance of the Harvard Prosecuted Patent Rights reasonably prior to any deadline or action with the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office or any other patent office, and shall take into reasonable consideration all comments reasonably requested by Licensee, and (subject in each case to Licensee’s prior agreement to cover the relevant costs in accordance with Section 3.2) add claims reasonably requested by Licensee, and shall furnish Licensee with copies of all relevant documents reasonably in advance of such consultation. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Harvard agrees: (a) to give Licensee an opportunity to review the text of each patent application within the Harvard Prosecuted Patent Rights before filing; (b) consult with Licensee with respect thereto; (c) supply Licensee with a copy of any application within the Harvard Prosecuted Patent Rights as filed, together with notice of its filing date and serial number; (d) keep Licensee advised of the status of the actual and prospective patent filings within the Harvard Prosecuted Patent Rights; and (e) provide advance copies of any papers related to the filing, prosecution and maintenance of such patent filings.
Harvard. Organix and LICENSEE shall cooperate fully in the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of PATENT RIGHTS exclusive to LICENSEE and of all patents and patent applications exclusively licensed to LICENSEE hereunder, executing all papers and instruments or requiring members of HARVARD or of Organix to execute such papers and instruments so as to enable HARVARD to apply for, to prosecute and to maintain patent applications and patents in HARVARD’s and other applicable assignees’ names in any country. HARVARD and LICENSEE shall each provide to the other prompt notice as to all matters which come to its attention and which may affect the preparation, filing, prosecution or maintenance of any such patent applications or patents. After LICENSEE has shown good and sufficient cause to justify a request that HARVARD choose alternate patent counsel, and after having made reasonable attempts to rectify the situation resulting in said good and sufficient cause, HARVARD will not unreasonably withhold consent that alternate patent counsel be chosen. In such event, LICENSEE agrees to bear all costs associated with transfer to alternate patent counsel.
