ARTICLE VII — INFRINGEMENT/ENFORCEMENT

 

7.1 If during the term of this Agreement one ore more Patents licensed hereunder is or appears to be infringed by a third party within the Field of Use, then the party having knowledge thereof shall notify the other and the parties shall consult to consider what, if any, action should be taken. Under no circumstances shall PRF have the obligation to enforce Patents. LICENSEE shall have the first right (but not the obligation) to notify the infringer and/or initiate litigation or legal proceedings to abate the infringement. In the event LICENSEE commences litigation, LICENSEE shall notify PRF in writing that the litigation has been commenced. PRF may elect to join in any such legal proceedings against the alleged infringer. In the event LICENSEE has not initiated such legal proceedings within six (6) months after becoming aware of the infringement, then PRF may initiate such legal proceedings on its own behalf; and thereafter, LICENSEE may elect to join in those proceedings.

 

 

7.2 If PRF elects to join in legal proceedings commenced by LICENSEE or sublicensee, or if LICENSEE or sublicensee elected to join in legal proceedings commanded by PRF, all fees and costs incurred therein, and all damages shall be the responsibility of PRF. If one Party elects not to join in legal proceedings initiated by the other Party, then the initiating Party shall be responsible for all fees and costs incurred therein. All reasonable costs and expenses incurred as a result of said legal proceedings shall be recoverable by LICENSEE or sublicensee out of damages and awards recovered by LICENSEE, sublicensee and/or PRF. Any remaining amounts from damages and awards, once costs and expenses have been recovered, shall be divided between LICENSEE and PRF as follows: LICENSEE shall retain seventy-five percent (75%) and PRF shall retain twenty-five percent (25%) of the damages and awards recovered by LICENSEE. Each Party shall reasonably cooperate with the other Party, whether joining or not, in the conduct of the proceedings (such as by joining in name only); however, where PRF is joined in any such legal proceedings in name only as a necessary party and not at its election, then LICENSEE shall indemnify and hold harmless PRF from and against any and all actions, claims, and counterclaims brought against PRF, and LICENSEE agrees to pay all legal expenses, damages, and costs which may be finally assessed against PRF in such actions, claims, and counterclaims.

 

7.3 PRF makes no warranty that the subject matter of the invention licensed hereunder will not infringe any third party patent and PRF makes no covenant either to defend any infringement charge by a third party or to institute action against infringers of any Patents hereby licensed.

 

7.4 If LICENSEE, any sublicensee or customer is named as a defendant in a lawsuit (hereinafter “Defendant”) charging Defendant with patent infringement as a result of its manufacture or sale of Licensed Products or its use of Licensed Products as disclosed in Patents or otherwise contending that Defendant does not have the right to manufacture, sell or so use Licensed Products, and LICENSEE so notifies PRF that such a lawsuit has been filed and provides PRF with copies of the Complaint and all papers associated with its filing. LICENSEE shall have the right to establish an Escrow Account for the mutual benefit of PRF and LICENSEE. For so long as LICENSEE bears any liability for costs or damages as a result of such lawsuit LICENSEE shall be entitled to deposit one-half (1/2) of the royalty payments to be paid to PRF under Paragraph 4.2 hereof into said Escrow Account. The other one-half (1/2) of the royalty payments required to be paid under Paragraph 4.2 hereof shall continue to be paid to PRF under the terms of this Agreement. If no royalty payments are yet due PRF during the period of the defense of any such alleged infringement, LICENSEE shall be entitled to accrue a credit for all sums expended to pay any costs and to pay any damages which may be awarded for infringement, and to offset these expenditures against any royalties to be paid to PRF.

 

 

The amounts deposited into the Escrow Account shall be used to pay LICENSEE’s out-of-pocket monetary expenses actually incurred in defending the lawsuit, including attorneys’ fees and any damages assessed against Defendant based specifically and only on Defendant’s manufacture, use or sale of Licensed Products. The Escrow account shall be established as a Federally Insured deposit account earning interest not less than money market or equivalent rates. The agreement establishing the Escrow Account shall require the Escrow Agent to provide PRF and LICENSEE with accurate accounting reports, to reimburse LICENSEE for its said expenses as approved in writing by PRF, and to remit to PRF any balance left in said account immediately all costs have been paid and all damage awards have been satisfied. PRF shall approve all of out-of-pocket expenses for reimbursement by the Escrow Agent provided the expenses are accurately documented for PRF and shown to be reasonably necessary to the defense of the lawsuit or an actual payment of assessed damages. LICENSEE shall have no recourse against PRF concerning such a lawsuit other than the provisions of this Section 7.4.
