Intellectual Property









 



	
7.1.  

	
The Parties hereby recognize and agree that all rights in XYO reside with Perpetual and that Perpetual has valuable rights in and to XYO.  Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as granting Master Licensee any ownership rights in and to XYO. The Parties agree that any enhancements, improvements, modifications to XYO, or inventions related to XYO, during the course of this Agreement or following termination shall belong to Perpetual and be deemed to form part of XYO as defined herein.  Master Licensee hereby irrevocably assigns to Perpetual any and all rights which it may hereafter acquire in and related to XYO.







 


For greater certainty:


 



	
a)  

	
Master Licensee shall, at Perpetual’s request and expense, apply for letters patent either in Master Licensee’s name or otherwise as Perpetual shall direct, and Master Licensee agrees to assign and does assign to Perpetual all of Master Licensee’s right, title and interest in and to such enhancements, improvements, modifications to XYO, or inventions related to XYO, all of the foregoing without royalty or any other consideration to Master Licensee, other than as specifically provided for in this Agreement.

Perpetual may, in its sole discretion, but shall not be obliged to, take all reasonably necessary steps to protect XYO by way of patent protection in any part of the worldwide market in which such protection has not yet been obtained, including but not limited to patent applications specifically describing the application of XYO to the Products. All costs associated with obtaining such patent protection, and all maintenance fees payable in respect thereof, shall be borne by Perpetual. Should Perpetual choose not to pursue such patent protection, then Master Licensee shall have the option, with the specific written consent of Perpetual, of pursuing this same patent protection and shall pay all costs associated with obtaining such patent protection and all maintenance fees payable thereon. Master Licensee must name Perpetual on any such patent and patent application and shall grant Perpetual a royalty-free right to use the said patent and patent application.







 



	
7.3.

7.6.  

	
If either Master Licensee or Perpetual shall have knowledge that XYO is being infringed, such knowledge shall be promptly conveyed to the other Party.

7.10.  

	
If Master Licensee desires to carry out any action, whether written or oral, relating to or referring to XYO or any material marked confidential by Perpetual then Master Licensee agrees to seek Perpetual’s approval and to promptly make full disclosure in writing to Perpetual providing full details of such desired action before such action is to be carried out. In particular, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Master Licensee shall not make any patent applications relating to or referring to XYO or any material marked confidential by Perpetual without the specific written consent of Perpetual, which consent shall be granted at the sole discretion of Perpetual.

7.11.  

	
Master Licensee agrees that Perpetual may be irreparably injured by a breach of this Agreement by Master Licensee, which breach may not be adequately compensated for by damages, and Perpetual shall be entitled to equitable relief, including injunctive relief and specific performance, without the need to prove irreparable harm and without the necessity of posting a bond in the event of breach of any provisions of this Agreement. Such remedies shall not be deemed to be exclusive remedies for breach of this Agreement, but shall be in addition to all other remedies available at law.







 



	
7.12.  

	
In the event of breach of this Agreement by Master Licensee, Master Licensee agrees to pay Perpetual’s actual costs and expenses in enforcing the terms of this Agreement including, without limitation, any court costs, fees between a solicitor and the solicitor’s own client, and all disbursements. In the event of breach of section 7.9 of this Agreement by Master Licensee, Master Licensee agrees to immediately assign to Perpetual Master Licensee’s rights, interest, and benefits derived from Master Licensee’s actions as defined in section 7.9. This assignment shall not be deemed to be an exclusive remedy for the said breach of this Agreement, but shall be in addition to all other remedies available at law.







 



	
7.13.

7.14.  

	
Master Licensee recognizes that in order to take full advantage of the benefits afforded by the use of XYO, some modification to its existing or future products may be required and/or necessary. Failure to correctly implement such modifications may have an adverse effect on the functioning of XYO and dramatically affect the performance of XYO.







 



	
7.15.  

	
Master Licensee agrees to provide its best efforts in cooperating with Perpetual to incorporate XYO into the Products. Specifically, Master Licensee agrees to provide Perpetual with all information, access to personnel, and components required by Perpetual in a timely manner, as well as including Perpetual in design, manufacturing, and planning discussions. Master Licensee understands that Perpetual is primarily a licensor and not primarily a manufacturer of products, and therefore, it is essential that Master Licensee cooperate with Perpetual by providing the said information, access, components, and discussions in order for XYO to be successfully optimized and implemented into Master Licensee’s Products under the terms of this Agreement.







 



	
7.16.
