Article 5. [Reserved]

 

Article 6. Confidential Information.

 

6.1       Treatment of Confidential Information. Licensee: (i) shall maintain the Confidential Information in confidence, using appropriate access control and physical security measures to safeguard the confidentiality thereof; (ii) shall not disclose, divulge or otherwise communicate such Confidential Information to others (except to exploit the Confidential Information for its own internal use), or use it for any purpose, except pursuant to, and in order to carry out, the terms and objectives of this Agreement; and (iii) agrees to exercise commercially reasonable precautions to prevent and restrain the unauthorized disclosure of such Confidential Information by any of its directors, officers, employees, consultants, subcontractors, sublicensees, or agents. Prior to disclosure of Confidential Information to Licensee’s directors, officers, employees, consultants, subcontractors, sublicensees, or agents, Licensee will enter into written agreements with such parties that contain restrictions on the disclosure of confidential information that are at least as restrictive as the terms and conditions of this Agreement. With respect to Know-How and Trade Secrets, the obligations of confidentiality and nondisclosure imposed on the Licensee by this Agreement shall continue until the occurrence of one of the conditions set forth in Section 6.2. With respect to other forms of Confidential Information, the obligations of confidentiality and nondisclosure imposed on the Licensee by this Agreement shall extend for the longer of: (a) two (2) years from the date of termination of this Agreement; and (b) until the occurrence of one of the conditions set forth in Section 6.2. Licensor and Licensee also agree to maintain the terms and conditions of the Agreement in confidence in accordance with this Section 6.1 for so long as this Agreement remains in full force and effect.

 

6.2       Release of Obligations. The obligations of Licensee, and of its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, with respect to any Confidential Information disclosed thereto by Licensor pursuant to this Agreement shall cease if Licensee can establish to the satisfaction of Licensor or, failing agreement by Licensor, of a court of competent jurisdiction (provided it is a court of last resort, the Parties have agreed to abandon all appeals or the time for filing an appeal has expired) that the Confidential Information: (a) was legally known to or in the possession of Licensee, without obligation of confidentiality or non-use, at the time of disclosure to Licensee by Licensor; (b) legally is or has become part of the public domain through no fault of Licensee; or (c) has been disclosed to Licensee by a third party on a non-confidential basis and without breaching any contractual, confidential or fiduciary obligation to Licensor or any law. A general disclosure in the public domain, or possession by Licensee of general information, will not cause more specific (but related) information to be excluded as Confidential Information under one of the above exceptions. Similarly, a combination of several pieces of information, where each piece of information individually is in the public domain or in the possession of Licensee, will not operate to exempt the combination as Confidential Information unless the combination itself is in the public domain. In the event Licensee becomes legally compelled by law, regulation, court order or administrative body to disclose any of Licensor’s Confidential Information, Licensee shall be entitled to disclose such information, provided that Licensee provides Licensor with prompt prior written notice (if legally able) so that Licensor may seek a protective order or such other appropriate remedy and Licensee limits disclosure of Licensor’s Confidential Information to only that portion which is legally required.

 

6.3       Ownership and Return of Confidential Information. All Confidential Information, together with all copies, reproductions, summaries, evaluations, analyses, notes, reports or other records created by Licensee in respect of the Confidential Information and all other information, know-how, data and materials generated by the use of the Confidential Information shall be treated as Confidential Information of Licensor, shall be the sole and exclusive property of Licensor and shall be returned to Licensor by Licensee forthwith upon termination pursuant to Article 10. Notwithstanding the above, one copy of such material may be retained in the legal files of Licensee solely for compliance purposes.

 

Article 7. Acknowledgement and Obligations.

 

7.1       Ownership. Licensor will retain and own all right, title, and interest in and to the Licensor Patent Rights and Know-How and Trade Secrets, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Improvements made by Licensor. Licensee acknowledges the validity and ownership by Licensor of the Technology. This Agreement shall in no way be construed to grant Licensee any ownership rights in any of the Technology.

 

7.2       Third Party Infringement. If legally able and without breaching any confidentiality provisions of a contract with a third party, Licensee shall promptly report in writing to Licensor during the term of this Agreement any: (a) known infringement or suspected infringement by a third party of any of the Licensor Patent Rights; or (b) unauthorized use or misappropriation of the Know-How and Trade Secrets by a third party of which it becomes aware, and shall provide Licensor with all available evidence supporting the infringement, suspected infringement or unauthorized use or misappropriation. Licensor shall have the sole and exclusive right to bring an infringement action or proceeding against any infringing third party, and, in the event that Licensor brings such an action or proceeding, Licensee shall cooperate and provide full information and reasonable assistance to Licensor and its counsel, at Licensor’s expense, in connection with any such action or proceeding.

9.2       Indemnification Procedure. After receipt by Licensor of a notice of commencement of any action involving the subject matter of the foregoing indemnity provisions under Section 9.1, Licensor will promptly notify Licensee of the commencement thereof, provided that, any delay in providing such notification shall not relieve Licensee of its indemnification obligations hereunder except to the extent, if any, that such delay prejudices Licensee’s ability to successfully defend such claim. Upon proper notification, Licensee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to control the defense of Licensor against any such third-party claims, utilizing counsel chosen in Licensee’s discretion, provided that Licensor may participate in any such defense, at its own expense, by separate counsel of its choice, and further provided that any such participation shall not limit Licensee’s right to control such defense.
