Related to Infringement Actions in the Licensee Territory
Infringement Actions 7.1 LICENSEE shall inform UNIVERSITY promptly in writing of any alleged infringement of the PATENT RIGHTS by a third party and of any available evidence thereof.
Infringement Action In the event a Party brings an Infringement action in accordance with this Section 7.3 (the “Controlling Party”), such Controlling Party shall keep the other Party reasonably informed of the progress of any such action, and the other Party shall cooperate fully with the Controlling Party, including by providing information and materials, at the Controlling Party’s request and expense and if required to bring such action, the furnishing of a power of attorney or being named as a party. The other Party shall cooperate fully, including, if required to bring such action, the furnishing of a power of attorney or being named as a party. Neither Party shall have the right to settle any Infringement action under this Section 7.3 relating to Joint Patent Rights without the prior written consent of the other Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
Infringement of Third Party Patents (a) If a third party asserts that a patent or other proprietary right owned by it is infringed by the manufacture, use, importation, offer for sale or sale of a Licensed Product in the Field and in the Territory and such alleged infringement arises in whole or in part from Alcon's use of the Pharmacyclics Technology (a "Claim"), the Party against whom such a Claim was asserted shall immediately provide the other Party notice of such Claim and the related facts in reasonable detail. Unless it is mutually agreed that the Parties should proceed jointly in defending such an action, the Party sued shall defend such action. The other Party shall cooperate in connection therewith and shall have the right to be represented separately by counsel of its own choice, at its own expense. The entity (whether Pharmacyclics or Alcon) that controls the defense of such a Claim with respect to the Licensed Product in the Field and in the Territory shall also have the right to control settlement of such Claim; provided, however, that no settlement shall be entered into without the consent of the other Party. To the extent that any of the costs set forth in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of this sentence are attributable to infringement arising from Alcon's use of the Pharmacyclics Technology, Alcon shall have the right to deduct from and offset against royalties otherwise payable to Pharmacyclics under Section 4.4(a), the following: (i) all litigation costs related to such Claim; (ii) any money damages paid by Alcon or its Affiliates pursuant to any judgment or settlement resulting from such Claim; and (iii) any royalty that Alcon and/or its Affiliates and sublicensees are required to pay to a third party in settlement of such Claim in order to continue to exercise Alcon's license rights as set forth in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall royalties owed Pharmacyclics under Section 4.4(a) be reduced by more than (*) in any given royalty period.
Licensed Patent Rights The term “Licensed Patent Rights” shall mean rights arising out of or resulting from:
Joint Patent Rights If not already established under the Research Collaboration Agreement, prior to either Party filing any Patent Right disclosing Joint Program Technology or Joint TAP Platform Improvements, the Parties shall establish a patent committee (the “Patent Committee”) comprised of at least one (1) representative of each Party for the purpose of facilitating the preparation, filing, prosecution, maintenance and defense of Joint Patent Rights. As agreed upon by the Parties, meetings of the Patent Committee may be face-to-face or may be conducted by teleconferences or videoconferences, from time to time as needed. The Patent Committee will be the forum through which the Parties coordinate their respective obligations to each other described in Sections 5.2.2 and 5.2.3 hereof and in this Section. In the event the Parties conceive or generate any Joint Program [***] Certain information contained herein has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions. Confidential Treatment Requested by CytomX Therapeutics, Inc. Technology or Joint TAP Platform Improvements, the Parties shall promptly meet to discuss and determine, based on mutual consent, whether to seek patent protection thereon, which Party will control filing, prosecution and maintenance of such patents and how to pay for the filing, prosecution and maintenance of such patents. It is presumed that CytomX will control filing, prosecution and maintenance of Joint Patent Rights claiming Joint Program Technology or Joint Unconjugated Probody Platform Improvements, and that ImmunoGen will control filing, prosecution and maintenance of Joint Patent Rights claiming Joint TAP Platform Improvements or Joint Conjugation Probody Platform Improvements. Neither Party will file any Joint Patent Right without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Party controlling filing and prosecution of any such Joint Patent Right (a) shall keep the other Party informed regarding each Patent Right, (b) shall consider in good faith any recommendations made by the other Party in regard to the filing, prosecution or maintenance of any such Patent Right and (c) shall not unreasonably refuse to incorporate any recommendations made by the other Party in regard to such filing, prosecution or maintenance.

Genentech shall have the first right but not the obligation to control any defense of any such claim involving alleged infringement of Third Party rights by Genentech’s activities under this Agreement at its own expense and by counsel of its own choice, and Curis shall have the right but not the obligation, at its own expense, to be represented in any such action by counsel of its own choice. If Genentech fails to proceed in a timely fashion with regard to such defense, Curis shall have the right but not the obligation to control any such defense of such claim at its own expense and by counsel of its own choice, and Genentech shall have the right but not the obligation, at its own expense, to be represented in any such action by counsel of its own choice. Curis shall have the first right but not the obligation to control any defense of any such claim involving alleged infringement of Third Party rights by Curis’ activities under this Agreement at its own expense and by counsel of its own choice, and Genentech shall have the right but not the obligation, at its own expense, to be represented in any such action by counsel of its own choice. If Curis fails to proceed in a timely fashion with regard to such defense, Genentech shall have the right but not the obligation to control any such defense of such claim at its own expense and by counsel of its own choice, and Curis shall have the right but not the obligation, at its own expense, to be represented in any such action by counsel of its own choice. Neither Party shall have the right to settle any infringement action under this Section 10.5 in a manner that diminishes the rights or interests of the other Party hereunder without the consent of such Party.
Infringement Claims If the manufacture, sale or use of any Licensed Product in the Territory pursuant to this Agreement results in any claim, suit or proceeding alleging patent infringement against Unigene or GSK, such Party shall promptly notify the other Party hereto. If GSK is not named as a Party in such a claim, suit or proceeding, GSK may, at its own expense and through counsel of its own choice, seek leave to intervene in such claim, suit or proceeding. Unigene agrees not to oppose such intervention. If GSK, and not Unigene, is named as a Party to such claim, suit or proceeding, GSK shall have the right to control the defense and settlement of such claim, suit or proceeding, at its own expense, using counsel of its own choice, however Unigene, at its own expense and through counsel of its own choice, may seek to intervene if the claim, suit or proceeding relates to the commercialization of the Licensed Product in the Field, and in such event, GSK agrees not to oppose such intervention. If GSK is named as a Party and Unigene shall, at any time, tender its defense to GSK, then GSK shall defend Unigene in such claim, suit or proceeding, at GSK’s own expense and through counsel of its own choice, and GSK shall control the defense and settlement of any such claim, suit or proceeding; provided, GSK shall not enter into any agreement which (i) extends or purports to exercise GSK’s rights under Unigene’s Licensed Technology beyond the rights granted pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) makes any admission regarding (a) wrongdoing on the part of Unigene, or (b) the invalidity, unenforceability or absence of infringement of any Unigene Patent Rights or Joint Patent Rights, without the prior written consent of Unigene, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Parties shall cooperate with each other in connection with any such claim, suit or proceeding and shall keep each other reasonably informed of all material developments in connection with any such claim, suit or proceeding. Nothing in this Section 6.5 shall limit or modify the provisions of Article 9, which may apply to such infringement claims as discussed herein.
