Related to Ownership of Inventions and Works of Authorship

  • Ownership of Inventions Inventorship of inventions conceived or reduced to practice in the course of activities performed under or contemplated by this Agreement shall be determined by application of U.S. patent Laws pertaining to inventorship. If such inventions are jointly invented by one or more employees, consultants or contractors of each Party, such inventions shall be jointly owned by the Parties (each such invention, a “Joint Invention”), and if one or more claims included in an issued Patent or pending Patent application which is filed in a patent office in the Territory claim such Joint Invention, such issued Patent or such pending Patent application shall be jointly owned by the Parties (each such patent application or patent, a “Joint Patent”). If such an invention is solely invented by an employee, consultant or contractor of a Party, such invention shall be solely owned by such Party, and any Patent application filed claiming such solely owned invention shall also be solely owned by such Party. Each Party shall enter into binding agreements obligating all employees, agents, consultants, contractors, and subcontractors (as provided in Section 3.2.7) performing activities under or contemplated by this Agreement, including activities related to the Programs, to assign his or her interest in any invention conceived or reduced to practice in the course of such activities to the Party for which such employee, consultant or contractor is providing its services. Subject to the rights granted under this Agreement, each Party shall have the right to practice and exploit Joint Inventions and Joint Patents, without any obligation to account to the other for profits, or to obtain any approval of the other Party to license, assign, or otherwise exploit Joint Inventions and Joint Patents, by reason of joint ownership thereof, and each Party hereby waives any right it may have under the Laws of any jurisdiction to require any such approval or accounting; and to the extent there are any applicable Laws that prohibit such a waiver, each Party will be deemed to so consent. Each Party agrees to be named as a party, if necessary, to bring or maintain a lawsuit involving a Joint Invention or Joint Patent.

At any time during or after your term of employment with the Company, you agree that you will fully cooperate with the Company, its attorneys and agents, in the preparation and filing of all papers and other documents as may be required to perfect the Company's rights in and to any of such inventions, including, but not limited to, joining in any proceeding to obtain letters patent, copyrights, trademarks or other legal rights of the United States and of any and all other countries on such inventions, provided that the Company will bear the expense of such proceedings, and that any patent or other legal right so issued to you, personally, shall be assigned by you to the Company without charge by you.
