LIMITATIONS ON LICENSE GRANTS |
| |
|
|
4.1 |
Jointly Owned Patents. With respect to Patents licensed herein which are owned by a Party or its Affiliates jointly with others, the Parties recognize that there are countries which require the express consent of all inventors or their assignees to the grant of licenses or rights under patents issued in such countries for such jointly owned inventions. Each Party hereby expressly gives such consent from its Affiliates and shall use all reasonable efforts to obtain such consent from its employees and its Affiliates’ employees, and from other third parties, as required to make full and effective any such licenses and rights granted to the grantee hereunder by such Party and by another licensor of such grantee. |
| |
|
|
|
If, in spite of such efforts, a Party is unable to obtain such consents from any such employees or third parties, the resulting inability of such Party to make full and |
Page 5 of 22

CONFIDENTIAL
|
|
effective its purported grant of such licenses and rights shall not be considered
to be a breach of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, in such a case,
the licenses and rights shall be considered granted by each Party to the
maximum extent possible, and, consequently, if such Party acquires a corresponding
license from the employee or third party, the other Party shall be deemed
licensed under the patent. To Ericsson’s reasonable knowledge, there exist no such jointly owned Licensed
Patents of Ericsson at the time of the Effective Date. |
|
4.2 |
Obligations to Third Parties. In the event the exercise of a license hereunder exposes the grantor or any of its Affiliates to any obligation to make a payment to a third party (other than payments between a Party and its Affiliates and its or their employees), or if the license to the grantor imposes additional obligations on the grantor, the grantor shall promptly inform the grantee of such in writing and the Parties shall, at the request of the grantor, in good faith negotiate a compensation to the grantor for such payment. If no agreement is found within a reasonable period of time agreed upon the Parties, the grantee shall refrain from exercising the license without undue delay after such negotiation fails. Each Party represents that there is, at
the date of this Agreement, no such obligation to make payments with respect to any property licensed hereunder. |
| |
|
|
4.3 |
No Rights Against Infringers. There may be countries in which a Party hereto may have, as a consequence of this Agreement, rights against infringers of the other Party’s Patents licensed hereunder. Each Party hereby waives any such right it may have by reason of any third party’s infringement of any such Patents. |
| |
|
|
|
Each Party hereby, for itself and its present Affiliates, releases the other Party and the other Party’s present and sublicensed Affiliates and all customers of such other Party and such other Party’s present and sublicensed Affiliates who have purchased or used products herein licensed to the other Party, from all claims, demands and rights of action which the first mentioned Party or any of its present Affiliates may have on account of any act of infringement or alleged infringement of any Licensed Patent prior to January 1st, 2004, provided such act would be licensed under this Agreement if it had occurred subsequent to the Effective Date. |
| |
|
|
|
Should Wavecom not fulfill its payment obligations in accordance with Article 7.1 A (i) of this Agreement, then this granted release by Ericsson to Wavecom shall, in addition to any possible consequences in accordance with Article 8.2, be of no effect and shall be considered void and null as if never been entered into. The release granted by Wavecom to Ericsson shall remain in full force and shall survive any termination of this Agreement. |
| |
|
|
6. |
KNOW-HOW AND TRADE SECRETS |
| |
|
|
|
No license or other right is granted herein to either Party, directly or by implication, estoppel or otherwise, with respect to any trade secrets or know-how, and no such license or other right shall arise from the consummation of this Agreement or from any acts, statements or dealings leading to such consummation. Except as specifically provided herein, neither Party is required hereunder to furnish or disclose to the other Party any technical or other information. |
