If a Party files an infringement suit, LICENSEE the non-filing Party shall, at the filing Party’s request, join the filing Party in such action to redress and/or prevent such infringement and to provide reasonable cooperation in connection therewith. In such an action, the Party filing the suit shall control the proceedings and the Parties shall allocate fees, expenses, and recovery as follows: i. if the alleged infringement occurs in the Company Territory, Company shall be responsible for the fees and expenses and enjoy the recovery, if any; ii. if the alleged infringement occurs in the Licensee Territory, Licensee shall be responsible for the fees and expenses and enjoy the recovery, if any; or iii. if the alleged infringement occurs in both the Licensee Territory and the Company Territory, the Parties shall share the reasonable fees and expenses, [12] INFRINGEMENT Both licensee and licensor have an interest in finding and enforcing against unauthorized trademark use. The licensee does not want the first unauthorized products to divert from its sales. The licensor needs to worry about product quality and brand reputation (and the allegation of abandonment by naked licensing). Licensors will not want to give the licensee the option to police the Licensed Patents and Products against infringement within the Field of Use by other parties. This right to police includes defending bring any action for declaratory judgment of noninfringement or invalidity; and prosecuting, defending or settling all infringement and declaratory judgment actions at its expense and through counsel of its selection, except that any such settlement shall only be made with the advice and consent of ESCALON. ESCALON shall provide reasonable assistance to LICENSEE with respect to such actions, provided LICENSEE shall reimburse ESCALON for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with any such assistance rendered at LICENSEE’s request or reasonably required by ESCALON.

If LICENSEE has paid or pays an annual fee to ESCALON under Section 4.6 in the year in which a payment or award as set out above is received, then that annual fee even though they may be credited by LICENSEE seldom invoked, because they can have large financial implications. Consequently, specifying in detail how each party should proceed if desiring to enforce against the share alleged infringement is a good idea. Generally speaking, non-exclusive licensees do not have standing to bring an infringement and recovery, if any, on a pro rata basis. action on behalf of the payment or award otherwise due to ESCALON, exactly as if that share represented additional royalties due from LICENSEE. 11.3 In the event that LICENSEE fails to take action to ▇▇▇▇▇ any alleged infringement of a Licensed Patent within sixty (60) days of a request by ESCALON to do so (or within such shorter period which might be required to preserve the legal rights of ESCALON under the laws of any relevant government or political subdivision thereof), then ESCALON shall have the right to take such action (including prosecution of a suit) at its expense and LICENSEE shall use reasonable efforts to cooperate in such action, at LICENSEE’s expense. In the event ESCALON elects to institute any such action or suit, LICENSEE agrees to be named as a nominal party therein. ESCALON shall have full authority to settle on such terms as ESCALON shall determine. 11.4 LICENSEE shall promptly notify ESCALON in writing in detail of the discovery of any allegation by licensor against a third party of infringement resulting from the practice of Licensed Patents, and of the initiation of any legal action by LICENSEE or by any third party with regard to any alleged infringement or noninfringement.

If a Party files an infringement suit, LICENSEE the non-filing Party shall, at the filing Party’s request, join the filing Party in such action to redress and/or prevent such infringement and to provide reasonable cooperation in connection therewith. In such an action, the Party filing the suit shall control the proceedings and the Parties shall allocate fees, expenses, and recovery as follows: if the alleged infringement occurs in the Company Territory, Company shall be responsible for the fees and expenses and enjoy the recovery, if any; if the alleged infringement occurs in the Licensee Territory, Licensee shall be responsible for the fees and expenses and enjoy the recovery, if any; or if the alleged infringement occurs in both the Licensee Territory and the Company Territory, the Parties shall share the reasonable fees and expenses, and recovery, if any, on a pro rata basis. [12] INFRINGEMENT Both licensee and licensor have an interest in finding and enforcing against unauthorized trademark use. The licensee does not want the first unauthorized products to divert from its sales. The licensor needs to worry about product quality and brand reputation (and the allegation of abandonment by naked licensing). Licensors will not want to give the licensee the option to police the Licensed Patents and Products against infringement within the Field of Use by other parties. This right to police includes defending bring any action for declaratory judgment of noninfringement or invalidity; and prosecuting, defending or settling all infringement and declaratory judgment actions at its expense and through counsel of its selection, except that any such settlement shall only be made with the advice and consent of ESCALON. ESCALON shall provide reasonable assistance to LICENSEE with respect to such actions, provided LICENSEE shall reimburse ESCALON for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with any such assistance rendered at LICENSEE’s request or reasonably required by ESCALON.

If LICENSEE has paid or pays an annual fee to ESCALON under Section 4.6 in the year in which a payment or award as set out above is received, then that annual fee even though they may be credited by LICENSEE seldom invoked, because they can have large financial implications. Consequently, specifying in detail how each party should proceed if desiring to enforce against the share alleged infringement is a good idea. Generally speaking, non-exclusive licensees do not have standing to bring an infringement action on behalf of the payment or award otherwise due to ESCALON, exactly as if that share represented additional royalties due from LICENSEE. 11.3 In the event that LICENSEE fails to take action to ▇▇▇▇▇ any alleged infringement of a Licensed Patent within sixty (60) days of a request by ESCALON to do so (or within such shorter period which might be required to preserve the legal rights of ESCALON under the laws of any relevant government or political subdivision thereof), then ESCALON shall have the right to take such action (including prosecution of a suit) at its expense and LICENSEE shall use reasonable efforts to cooperate in such action, at LICENSEE’s expense.

ESCALON shall have full authority to settle on such terms as ESCALON shall determine. 11.4 LICENSEE shall promptly notify ESCALON in writing in detail of the discovery of any allegation by licensor against a third party of infringement resulting from the practice of Licensed Patents, and of the initiation of any legal action by LICENSEE or by any third party with regard to any alleged infringement or noninfringement.
