Pre-Option Exercise. Subject to Section 7.3.1(b), as between the Parties, Jounce shall have the first right (but not the obligation) to Prosecute and Maintain the Jounce Patents, including Collaboration Patents, which are Controlled by Jounce (which, for clarity, shall never include any of the Patents licensed to Jounce pursuant to Section 7.1.1(b)(i)). Jounce shall keep Celgene informed as to material developments with respect to the Prosecution and Maintenance of such Patents. Jounce shall provide or make reasonably available to Celgene copies of all substantive office actions or any other substantive documents that Jounce receives from any patent office, including notice of all interferences, reissues, re-examinations, inter partes, review, post grant proceedings, oppositions or requests for patent term extensions. Jounce shall also provide Celgene with a reasonable opportunity to comment substantively on the Prosecution and Maintenance of such Patents prior to taking any material actions (including the filing of initial applications), and will in good faith consider any comments made by and actions recommended by Celgene, provided however that Celgene does so promptly and consistent with any applicable filing deadlines.
