Patent Enforcement. USB shall promptly notify RPI of any facts which come to USB's attention indicating that a third party is violating any of the Licensed Patents. RPI shall take whatever action it deems appropriate to enforce the Licensed Patents in its sole discretion and at its expense and shall be entitled to obtain any remuneration recovered as a result thereof subject to fulfilling any obligations of USB to CU and URC under the License Agreement. At the request of RPI, USB shall join in as a party to any enforcement action at RPI's expense provided that any expenses incurred by USB in connection therewith are approved in advance by RPI and are reasonable in amount. USB acknowledges that CU and URC may have certain rights to enforce the Licensed Patents, if RPI does not do so. If both RPI and USB do not enforce the Licensed Patents against a particular infringer, then URC and/or CU may do so in its own name and at its own expense. CU and URC may retain the proceeds of any enforcement action initiated and maintained by them pursuant to the preceding sentence.
