Patent Matters 4.1 Licensor shall have the right, but not the obligation, to prosecute and maintain all Patents to be issued pertaining to the Patent applications licensed in Exhibit A at its cost and expense. Licensor shall keep licensee reasonably apprised of all relevant actions regarding the status of such patents.
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.
Prosecution and Maintenance of Patents Patent Costs ----------------------------------------------------
Matters Involving Third Parties (i) If any third party shall notify any Party (the "Indemnified Party") with respect to any matter (a "Third Party Claim") which may give rise to a claim for indemnification against any other Party (the "Indemnifying Party") under this Section 8, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify each Indemnifying Party thereof in writing; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying any Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent) the Indemnifying Party thereby is prejudiced.
Patent Prosecution and Maintenance 14.1 REGENTS will diligently prosecute and maintain the United States and foreign patent applications and patents under REGENTS' PATENT RIGHTS, subject to LICENSEE’S reimbursement REGENTS’ out of pocket costs under Paragraph 14.3 below, and all patent applications and patents under REGENTS’ PATENT RIGHTS will be held in the name of REGENTS. REGENTS will have sole responsibility for retaining and instructing patent counsel, but continued use of such counsel at any point in the patent prosecution process subsequent to initial filing of a U.S. patent application covering the INVENTION shall be subject to the approval of LICENSEE. If LICENSEE rejects three of REGENTS’ choice of prosecution counsel, then REGENTS may select new prosecution counsel without LICENSEE’s consent. REGENTS shall promptly provide LICENSEE with copies of all relevant documentation so that LICENSEE may be currently informed and apprised of the continuing prosecution and LICENSEE agrees to keep this documentation confidential in accordance with Article 26. LICENSEE may comment upon such documentation, provided, however, that if LICENSEE has not commented upon such documentation in reasonable time for REGENTS to sufficiently consider LICENSEE’s comments prior to the deadline for filing a response with the relevant government patent office, REGENTS will be free to respond appropriately without consideration of LICENSEE's comments. LICENSEE and LICENSEE's patent counsel will have the right to consult with patent counsel chosen by REGENTS.
Joint Patents With respect to any potentially patentable Joint Invention, AstraZeneca shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to prepare patent applications based on such Joint Invention, to file and prosecute (including defense of any oppositions, interferences, reissue proceedings and reexaminations) such patent applications, and to maintain any Joint Patents issuing therefrom, in any jurisdictions throughout the Territory. FibroGen shall have the corresponding first right, but not the obligation, in any jurisdictions outside of the Territory other than China, in respect of which the China Agreement shall govern. If AstraZeneca determines in its sole discretion to abandon, cease prosecution or otherwise not file or maintain any Joint Patent anywhere in the Territory, then AstraZeneca shall provide FibroGen written notice of such determination at least thirty (30) days before any deadline for taking action to avoid abandonment (or other loss of rights) and shall provide FibroGen with the opportunity to prepare, file, prosecute and maintain such Joint Patent. The Party that is responsible for preparing, filing, prosecuting, and maintaining a particular Joint Patent (the “Prosecuting Party”) shall provide the other Party reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such prosecution efforts regarding such Joint Patent, and such other Party shall provide the Prosecuting Party reasonable assistance in such efforts. The Prosecuting Party shall provide the other Party with a copy of all material communications from any patent authority in the applicable jurisdictions regarding the Joint Patent being prosecuted by such Party, and shall provide drafts of any material filings or responses to be made to such patent authorities a reasonable amount of time in advance of submitting such filings or responses. In particular, each Party agrees to provide the other Party with all information necessary or desirable to enable the other Party to comply with the duty of candor/duty of disclosure requirements of any patent authority. Either Party may determine that it is no longer interested in supporting the continued prosecution or maintenance of a particular Joint Patent in a country or jurisdiction, in which case: (i) the disclaiming Party shall, if requested in writing by the other Party, assign its ownership interest in such Joint Patent in such country or jurisdiction to the other Party for no additional consideration; and (ii) if such assignment is effected, any such Joint Patent would thereafter be deemed a FibroGen Patent in the case of assignment to FibroGen, or a AstraZeneca Patent in the case of assignment to AstraZeneca; provided, however, that the disclaiming party would have an immunity from suit under such FibroGen Patent or AstraZeneca Patent, as the case may be, in the applicable country or jurisdiction. In addition, any Joint Patent that becomes a FibroGen Patent pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be excluded from the license granted to AstraZeneca in Section 7.1. Each Party shall bear its own internal costs in respect of the prosecution of Joint Patents. Out-of-pocket costs incurred in respect of the prosecution and maintenance of Joint Patents in the Territory shall be borne equally by AstraZeneca and FibroGen. In the event a Party elects to disclaim its interest in a Joint Patent, the costs incurred with respect to such Patent after the date of such disclaimer shall thereafter be borne exclusively by the other Party, without reimbursement or credit.
Patent Filing Prosecution and Maintenance 7.1 Except as otherwise provided in this Article 7, Licensee agrees to take responsibility for, but to consult with, the PHS in the preparation, filing, prosecution, and maintenance of any and all patent applications or patents included in the Licensed Patent Rights and shall furnish copies of relevant patent-related documents to PHS.

At the latest [*****] before filing, the prosecuting Party shall give the non-prosecuting Party an opportunity to review and comment upon the text of any application with respect to such Joint Patent Right, shall consult with the non-prosecuting Party with respect thereto, shall not unreasonably refuse to address any of the non-prosecuting Party’s comments and supply the non-prosecuting Party with a copy of the application as filed, together with notice of its filing date and serial number. The prosecuting Party shall keep the non-prosecuting Party reasonably informed of the status of the actual and prospective prosecution, and maintenance, including but not limited to any substantive communications with the competent patent offices that may affect the scope of such filings, and the prosecuting Party shall give the non-prosecuting Party a timely, prior opportunity to review and comment upon any such substantive communication and shall consult with such non- prosecuting Party with respect thereto, and shall not unreasonably refuse to address any of such non-prosecuting Party’s comments.
