ARTICLE 8 - GRANT OF RIGHTS
8.1
Recipient hereby grants Sponsor a royalty-free, non-exclusive license to use
Recipient Intellectual Property within its own organization.
8.2
Recipient hereby grants to Sponsor, an exclusive option at Sponsor's sole
election, to negotiate for either (a) a non-exclusive, royalty-bearing license
to use Recipient Intellectual Property for any purpose, or (b) an exclusive
royalty-bearing license with a right to sublicense to Recipient Intellectual
Property or (c) an exclusive license to Recipient’s interest in any Joint
Intellectual Property. Terms and conditions of these licenses are to be
negotiated in good faith and agreed upon between Recipient and Sponsor. Sponsor
shall notify Recipient by written notice within 180 days of (I) receiving
Recipient’s written notice of the generation of a Recipient Intellectual
Property, or (II) in the case of Joint Intellectual Property, agreement of the
parties as to the generation of Joint Intellectual Property, whether Sponsor
elects to exercise the Option. If Sponsor either (i) elects not to exercise its
option or (ii) fails to provide written notice within such 180 day period, then
Sponsor shall automatically be deemed to have relinquished any rights it may
have to any license described in this Section. If Sponsor provides Recipient
written notice of its exercise of the Option, the parties shall exclusively
negotiate in good faith, for a period of 180 days, a license to the applicable
Recipient Intellectual Property or Joint Intellectual Property on terms
consistent with the terms of this paragraph. If, after good faith negotiations,
no agreement is reached by the parties within such 180 day period, Recipient
shall be free to enter into a license with any third party for any Recipient
Intellectual Property subject to Sponsor’s use right in Section 8.1 and to
license its rights in such Joint Intellectual Property.
8.3
In the event that Sponsor acquires an exclusive license or right under
subsections 8.2 of this Article, the Recipient will retain the right to continue
to use any Recipient Intellectual Property and Joint Intellectual Property
within the Recipient for research purposes.
