Patent Expenses Unless agreed otherwise, the Party filing a Patent Application will pay all preparation and filing expenses, prosecution fees, issuance fees, post issuance fees, patent maintenance fees, annuities, interference expenses, and attorneys’ fees for that Patent Application and any resulting Patent(s). If a license to any CRADA Subject Invention is granted to Collaborator, then Collaborator will be responsible for all expenses and fees, past and future, in connection with the preparation, filing, prosecution, and maintenance of any Patent Applications and Patents claiming exclusively licensed CRADA Subject Inventions and will be responsible for a pro-rated share, divided equally among all licensees, of those expenses and fees for non-exclusively licensed CRADA Subject Inventions. Collaborator may waive its exclusive option rights at any time, and incur no subsequent financial obligation for those Patent Application(s) or Patent(s).
Patent Costs Licensee acknowledges and agrees that the licenses granted hereunder are in partial consideration for Licensee’s assumption of patent costs and expenses as described herein. Licensee agrees to pay and shall pay for all expenses referenced in Sections 8.1 and 8.2 hereof. In addition, Licensee agrees to reimburse and shall reimburse TSRI for all patent costs and expenses previously paid or associated with Licensed Patent Rights incurred by TSRI up to the Effective Date, less any such patent costs and expenses previously reimbursed by Licensee under the Option Agreement. Licensee agrees to pay and shall pay all such past and future patent expenses associated with the work on the Licensed Patent Rights performed by TSRI’s Office of Patent Counsel and/or its independent counsel within thirty (30) days after Licensee receives an itemized invoice therefor. Failure of Licensee to pay patent costs and expenses as set forth in this Section 8.3 shall immediately relieve TSRI from its obligation to incur any further patent costs and expenses. For the avoidance of doubt, should Licensee not pay any patent costs and expenses due to TSRI or independent counsel within thirty (30) days after Licensee’s receipt of any itemized invoice therefor, TSRI shall have the right, at its sole discretion, to cease all patent prosecution and allow Licensed Patent Rights to go abandoned. Such action by TSRI shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement. Payment can be made directly to independent counsel, or to TSRI. Licensee may elect with a minimum of ninety (90) days’ prior written notice to TSRI, to discontinue payment for the filing, prosecution and/or maintenance of any patent application and/or patent within Licensed Patent Rights. Licensee shall remain liable for all patent prosecution and maintenance costs incurred prior to the date of notice of election and for a ninety (90) day period following the date of such notice. Any such patent application or patent so elected shall immediately be excluded from the definition of Licensed Patent Rights and from the scope of the licenses granted under this Agreement, and all rights relating thereto shall revert to TSRI and may be freely licensed by TSRI.
