Technology Discoveries, innovations, Know-How and inventions, whether patentable or not, including computer software, recognized under U.S. law as intellectual creations to which rights of ownership accrue, including, but not limited to, patents, trade secrets, maskworks and copyrights developed under this Agreement.
PROTECTION OF GOODWILL You acknowledge that the Company is providing you with this Option in connection with and in consideration for your promises and covenants contained herein. Specifically, in consideration for the Option, which you acknowledge provides a material incentive for you to grow, develop and protect the goodwill and confidential and proprietary information of the Company, you agree that the Option (itself and in combination with any other awards made to you) constitutes independent and sufficient consideration for all non-competition, non-solicitation and confidentiality covenants between you and the Company, and agree and acknowledge that you will fully abide by each of such covenants. You further acknowledge that your promise to fully abide by each of the protective covenants referenced above is a material inducement for the Company to provide you with the Option.
Protection of Intellectual Property Rights (a) (i) Protect, defend and maintain the validity and enforceability of its Intellectual Property; (ii) promptly advise Bank in writing of material infringements or any other event that could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the value of its Intellectual Property; and (iii) not allow any Intellectual Property material to Borrower’s business to be abandoned, forfeited or dedicated to the public without Bank’s written consent.
Protection of Developments The Contractor does hereby agree that, both before and after the termination of this Agreement, the Contractor shall perform such further acts and execute and deliver such further instruments, writings, documents and assurances (including, without limitation, specific assignments and other documentation which may be required anywhere in the world to register evidence of ownership of the rights assigned pursuant hereto) as the Company shall reasonably require in order to give full effect to the true intent and purpose of the assignment made under Section 5.3 hereof. If the Company is for any reason unable, after reasonable effort, to secure execution by the Contractor on documents needed to effect any registration or to apply for or prosecute any right or protection relating to the Developments, the Contractor hereby designates and appoints the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as the Contractor’s agent and attorney to act for and in the Contractor’s behalf and stead to execute and file any such document and do all other lawfully permitted acts necessary or advisable in the opinion of the Company to effect such registration or to apply for or prosecute such right or protection, with the same legal force and effect as if executed by the Contractor.
