7.7.2 Joint CRADA Inventions. Joint CRADA Inventions shall be jointly owned. Collaborator shall be responsible for filing U.S. Patent Applications for joint CRADA Inventions in a timely manner. If Collaborator does not file a U.S. Patent Application on a joint CRADA Invention within six (6) months after disclosure, NOAA may file a U.S. Patent Application on such joint CRADA Invention. The non-filing Party shall reasonably cooperate and assist the filing Party in perfecting the patent application, and the Filing Party shall have the right to control the prosecution of the U.S. Patent Application.
7.7.3 Sole CRADA Inventions. Except for Joint CRADA Inventions, each Party shall retain title to any CRADA Invention of its employees or Project Team members. The Party retaining title to a CRADA Invention may file a U.S. Patent Application after consultation with the other Party. The owner of a CRADA Invention has no duty to file a U.S. or foreign patent application.
7.7.4 Patent Expenses and Prosecution. All of the expenses attendant to the filing of patent applications shall be borne by the Party filing such application. Each Party shall promptly provide the other Party with copies of Provisional Patent Applications filed, Non-Provisional Patent Applications filed and Office Actions relating to any CRADA Invention. Any post filing and post-patent fees shall also be borne by the same Party.
7.7.4 Foreign Filings of CRADA Inventions. The Parties will consult with each other as to the advisability of filing for patent protection outside the U.S.
8.1 Option for a Commercialization License. NOAA, on behalf of the Government, hereby agrees to grant to the Collaborator an option to choose an exclusive or nonexclusive commercialization license to patents or patent applications on NOAA CRADA Inventions and an exclusive commercialization license to NOAA's interest in patents or patent applications on joint CRADA Inventions. The exclusive or nonexclusive license shall be limited to fields of use defined by the subject matter of the SoW found in Appendix A. The license will specify the licensed fields of use, geographic territory, markets, term and royalties, and will, pursuant to Article 7.1 of this CRADA, contain a requirement that products manufactured for sale or use in the United States under the license will be manufactured substantially in the United States. Additional terms and conditions shall be added to all licenses consistent with applicable statutes and regulations. The royalty rates will be based on product sales and the rates conventionally granted in the field identified in the SoW for inventions with reasonably similar commercial potential. The royalty rates will also reflect the relative contributions of the Parties to the invention. Licenses granted under this Article are subject to the reservation of patent licenses in favor of the United States Government required in Section 7.7.1 above.
8.2 Exercise of License Option to NOAA Sole CRADA Inventions. The option of Section 8.1 must be exercised by written notice mailed within one (1) month after Collaborator’s receipt from NOAA of the First Ex parte Action on the Merits by the PTO. The “First Ex parte Action on the Merits” is defined as: The First Ex parte Action on the Merits that clearly establishes the issues which exist between the examiner and the patent owner insofar as the patent is concerned. An action that contains only a restriction requirement does not constitute a “First Ex parte Action on the Merits.” Exercise of this option by the Collaborator initiates a negotiation period that expires six (6) months after Collaborator’s receipt from NOAA of the First Ex parte Action on the Merits by the PTO. If the last proposal by the Collaborator has not been responded to in writing by NOAA within this six (6) month period, the negotiation period shall be extended to expire one (1) month after NOAA responds. If no agreement is concluded in this period or if Collaborator exercises its option for a nonexclusive license, NOAA shall be free to license such CRADA Inventions to others.
8.3 Exercise of License Option to Joint CRADA Inventions. The option to NOAA’s interest in patents or patent applications on Joint CRADA Inventions of Section 8.1 must be exercised by written notice mailed within one (1) month after the Collaborator is notified by the Patent and Trademark Office that a patent will be allowed on the joint CRADA Invention. Exercise of this option by the Collaborator initiates a negotiation period that expires in six (6) months. If the last proposal by the Collaborator has not been responded to in writing by NOAA within this six (6) month period, the negotiation period shall be extended to expire one (1) month after NOAA responds. If no agreement is concluded in this period or if Collaborator exercises its option for a nonexclusive license, NOAA shall be free to license such CRADA Inventions to others.
9.1 Notices. The Collaborator and NOAA shall each have the right to terminate this Agreement upon 30 days notice in writing to the other Party.
9.2 Termination After Change of Control. NOAA may terminate this Agreement immediately if direct or indirect control of the Collaborator is transferred to a foreign company or government; or, if Collaborator is already controlled by a foreign company or government, if that control is transferred to another foreign company or government.
9.3 Interim Extension. Upon written or electronic notice from the Collaborator and NOAA PI that it is the intent that the CRADA be amended, as provided in Section 12.5, to extend the term of the CRADA, the term of this Agreement shall be extended for ninety (90) days. Such interim extension shall be available only once prior to the effective date of a written amendment pursuant to Article 12.5 extending the CRADA.
10.1 Settlement. Any dispute arising under this Agreement, which is not disposed of by agreement of the Parties, shall be submitted jointly to the signatories of this Agreement. A joint decision of the signatories or their designees shall be the disposition of such dispute. If the Parties cannot reach a joint decision, either Party may terminate this Agreement immediately.
10.2 Continuation of Work. Pending the resolution of any dispute or claim pursuant to this Article, the Parties agree that performance of all obligations shall be pursued diligently in accordance with the direction of the NOAA signatory.

The Collaborator shall indemnify and hold harmless the U.S. Government for any loss, claim, damage, or liability of any kind to the Collaborator's Project Team arising in connection with this Agreement, except to the extent that such loss, claim damage or liability arises from the negligence of NOAA or its employees. NOAA's responsibility for payment of tort claims in connection with the performance of work under this Agreement is governed by the Federal Tort Claims Act.
11.2.2 Collaborator's Use of NOAA Research. The Collaborator shall indemnify and hold harmless the U.S. Government for any loss, claim, damage, or liability of any kind arising out of the use by the Collaborator, or any Party acting on its behalf or under its authorization, of NOAA's research and technical developments or out of any use, sale or other disposition by the Collaborator or others acting on its behalf or with its authorization, of products made by the use of NOAA's technical developments.
11.3 Force Majeure. Neither Party shall be liable for any unforeseeable event beyond its reasonable control not caused by the fault or negligence of such Party, which causes such Party to be unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement (and which it has been unable to overcome by the exercise of due diligence), including, but not limited to, flood, drought, earthquake, storm, fire, pestilence, lightning and other natural catastrophes, epidemic, war, riot, civic disturbance or disobedience, strikes, labor dispute, or failure, threat of failure, or sabotage of the NOAA facilities, or any order or injunction made by a court or public agency. In the event of the occurrence of such a force majeure event, the Party unable to perform shall promptly notify the other Party. It shall further use its best efforts to resume performance as quickly as possible and shall suspend performance only for such period of time as is necessary as a result of the force majeure event.
