	8.	IP Rights 

  

	8.1	Rights to Foreground IP 

  

	 	a.	Any Foreground IP shall be the property of the Party which has paid for the entire work generating that Foreground IP, or developed solely using the Background IP of such Party. Each Party has a right, but no
obligation, to take appropriate actions to protect the Foreground IP developed for that Party and to use and exploit such Foreground IP. The granting of any exclusive licenses to use and exploit Foreground IP shall be subject to the other
Party’s prior written consent. Upon request, the Party owning the Foreground IP shall grant the other Party to such Foreground IP a non-exclusive license upon fair and reasonable conditions.


  

	 	b.	Where the Parties have jointly paid for the work generating the Foreground IP, or the composition of the Foreground IP consist of the Background IP from both Parties and where their respective share of the contribution
cannot be ascertained, they shall have joint ownership of such Foreground IP and shall discuss in good faith and agree whether they may jointly apply for or obtain the relevant Intellectual Property Rights for such Foreground IP or whether
Intellectual Property Rights should be obtained in the name of one Party, for example if one Party has made the predominant inventive contribution, or if the invention is mainly based on or useful in connection with Background IP of one Party (the
“Joint Foreground IP”). The arrangements for the ownership, applying, maintaining, sharing and exploiting the Joint Foreground IP shall be discussed and agreed upon by the Steering Committee on a case-by-case basis pursuant to Section 3.1.5(f) or pursuant to the Project Implementation Agreement (if any). 

  

	 	c.	The owning Party of the Foreground IP or the Joint Foreground IP as determined pursuant to Section 8.1(b) above shall have the right, in its own discretion, to file patent applications in North America and in any other
country of the world in its own name. The other Party, at the request of the owning Party, shall exercise reasonable efforts to support the filing of patent applications by the owning Party. Such efforts shall include support by inventors and
execution of all legal documents (applications, assignments and declarations). All costs of preparing, filing and prosecuting patent applications owned by the owning Party, and of maintaining such patents, shall be borne by said Party. The owning
Party shall grant the non-owning Party an irrevocable, non-exclusive, permanent, worldwide and royalty-free license to use such Foreground IP or Joint Foreground IP.



  
 13/28 









	 	d.	In the event the owning Party decides against filing a patent application directed to any Foreground IP or Joint Foreground IP that it owns under this Agreement and, additionally, the owning Party does not wish to
maintain such Foreground IP as a trade secret, the other non-owning Party shall have the right to take ownership of such Foreground IP or Joint Foreground IP for no additional consideration, and agrees that it
shall bear all costs associated with the procurement and maintenance of any patents. Analogously, if the owner of a patent directed to Foreground IP or Joint Foreground IP resulting from this Agreement is no longer interested in maintaining such
patent, the owning Party will provide the non-owning Party with reasonable advanced notice of its intent to allow the patent to lapse to give the non-owning Party the
opportunity to pay the maintenance fees and assume ownership of the patent in question for no additional consideration. Also, if the owning Party decides against filing a patent application directed to Foreground IP or Joint Foreground IP in a
particular country or countries that are of interest to the non-owning Party, the owning Party will allow the non-owning Party to effectuate the filings in those other
countries, at the non-owning Party’s expense, and the non-owning Party will assume ownership of that patent application and any patent(s) issuing therefrom without
the need to pay any additional consideration. 

  

	 	e.	The Transfer of partial ownership to Joint Foreground IP to a third party (not an Affiliate) shall be subject to the prior written consent of the other Party. In any case, the assignor of the partial ownership to
Foreground IP shall pass on all obligations regarding that Foreground IP under this Agreement to the assignee including the obligation to pass those obligations on to any subsequent assignee. 


 

	 	f.	If employees or other personnel working for a Party are entitled to claim rights to Foreground IP, such as for example the right to be named as inventor, the respective Party shall ensure that it is possible to exercise
those rights in a manner compatible with its obligations under this Agreement and shall indemnify the other Party from any claims of its employees or other personnel. 


 

	 	g.	No derivatives products shall be created by one Party based on the Foreground IP of the other Party unless otherwise agreed between the Parties. It is understood and agreed that any Joint Foreground IP is to be utilized
by the Parties for the benefit of both Parties and that no Party may make, use, develop, create or disclose derivatives from the Joint Foreground IP for its own use or benefit unless otherwise agreed between the Parties. 


 

	8.2	Background IP 

  

	 	a.	Each Party shall keep all Intellectual Property rights to its Background IP. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that, as between the Parties, each Party is and shall remain for all purposes hereunder the sole and
exclusive owner of all right, title and interest in and to its Independent Technology and all associated Intellectual Property Rights. Each Party acknowledges that it acquires no rights under this Agreement to the other Party’s Independent
Technology or associated Intellectual Property Rights other than the limited licenses expressly granted in this Agreement. 

  

	 	b.	In case any Background IP of a Party is needed to complete a Collaboration Project, a respective non-exclusive, royalty-free license to such Background IP limited to the
implementation of the respective Collaboration Project subject to any provisions that may be contained in the Project Implementation Agreement (if any). 

  

	8.3	Project Implementation Agreements and this Agreement 

  

	 	a.	Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Agreement, if there are any inconsistent terms between the Project Implementation Agreements and this Agreement, the Project Implementation Agreements shall prevail.



  
 14/28 









	 	b.	If and to the extent the allocation of ownership and Intellectual Property Rights to Foreground IP, Joint Foreground IP and/or Background IP is explicitly regulated under the Project Implementation Agreements, such
allocation under the Project Implementation Agreements shall prevail over the allocation set forth under Sections 8.1 and 8.2. 

  

	9.	Confidentiality 

 It is expected that the Parties will be exchanging Confidential
Material (as defined below) with each other: (i) during their mutual evaluation of potential opportunities to collaborate with each other in the commercial exploitation of their respective products and technologies, (ii) during any

other as to the timing and content of press releases or other forms of public announcements in this regard. 
  

	10.	Termination 

  

	10.1	Effectiveness
