Licensed Territory to make and have made, to use and have
used, and to sell and have sold any
Licensed Products in the Licensed Fields of Use and to
practice and have practiced any
Licensed Processes in the Licensed Fields of Use.
3.02 Licensee has no right to grant sublicenses.
3.03 This Agreement confers no license or rights by
implication, estoppel, or otherwise under any
patent applications or patents of PHS other than the
Licensed Patent Rights regardless of whether
such patents are dominant or subordinate to Licensed
Patent Rights.
4.Statutory and PHS Requirements and Reserved
Government Rights
4.01 Licensee agrees that products used or sold in the
united states embodying Licensed
Products or produced through use of Licensed Processes
shall be manufactured substantially in
the united states, unless a written waiver is obtained in
advance from PHS.
5. Royalties and Reimbursement
5.01 Licensee agrees to pay to PHS a noncreditable,
nonrefundable license issue royalty as set
forth in Appendix C within thirty (30) days from the date
that this Agreement becomes effective.
5.02 Licensee agrees to pay to PHS a nonrefundable
minimum annual royalty as set forth in
Appendix C. The minimum annual royalty is due and payable
on January 1 of each calendar year
and may be credited against any earned royalties due for
sales made in that year. The minimum
annual royalty for the first calendar year of this
Agreement is due and payable within thirty (30)
days from the effective date of this Agreement and may be
prorated according to the fraction of the
calendar year remaining between the effective date of this
Agreement and the next subsequent

all claims of the Licensed Patent Rights have been held to
be invalid or unenforceable by an
unappealed or unappealable decision of a court of
competent jurisdiction or administrative agency.

Licensed Products or Licensed
Processes are covered by more than one of the Licensed
Patent Rights.
5.07 On sales of Licensed Products by Licensee in other
than an arm's-length transaction, the
value of the Net Sales attributed under this Article 5 to
such a transaction shall be that which would
have been received in an arm's-length transaction, based
on sales of like quantity and quality
products on or about the time of such transaction.
5.08 As an additional royalty, Licensee agrees to pay
PHS, within (60) days of PHS's submission
of a statement and request for payment, an amount
equivalent to all patent expenses previously
incurred by PHS in the preparation, filing, prosecution,
and maintenance of Licensed Patent
Rights, to be divided equally among all nonexclusive
commercialization licensees of record as of the
date the statement and request for payment is sent by PHS
to Licensee. Licensee further agrees to
pay PHS annually, within sixty (60) days of PHS's
submission of a statement and request for
payment, a royalty amount equivalent to all such future
patent expenses incurred during the previous
calendar year divided equally among all nonexclusive
commercialization licensees of record as of the
date the statement and request for payment are sent by PHS
to Licensee. Fifty percent (50%) of
the cumulative amount of the payments due under this
Paragraph 5.07 may be credited against
royalties due under Paragraph 5.03; however, the net
royalty payment in any calendar year may not
be lower than the minimum annual royalty specified in
Appendix C. Licensee may elect to surrender
its rights in any country of the Licensed Territory under
any Licensed Patent Rights upon sixty
(60) days' written notice to PHS and owe no payment
obligation under this Paragraph for
subsequent patent-related expenses incurred in that
country.
6.Record Keeping
6.01 Licensee agrees to keep accurate and correct
records of Licensed Products made, used, or
sold and Licensed Processes practiced under this Agreement
appropriate to determine the
amount of royalties due PHS. Such records shall be
retained for at least five (5) years following a
given reporting period. They shall be available during
normal business hours for inspection at the
expense of PHS by an accountant or other designated
auditor selected by PHS for the sole purpose
of verifying reports and payments hereunder. The
accountant or auditor shall only disclose to PHS
information relating to the accuracy of reports and
payments made under this Agreement. If an
inspection shows an underreporting or underpayment in
excess of five percent (5%) for any twelve
(12) month period, then Licensee shall reimburse PHS for
the cost of the inspection at the time
Licensee pays the unreported royalties, including any late
charges as required by Paragraph 7.06 of
this Agreement. All payments required under this Paragraph
shall be due within thirty (30) days of
the date PHS provides Licensee notice of the payment
due.
7. Reports on Progress, Sales, and Payments
7.01 Prior to signing this Agreement, Licensee has
provided to PHS a written commercialization
plan ("Commercial Development Plan") under which
Licensee intends to bring the subject matter
of the Licensed Patent Rights into commercial use. The
Commercial Development Plan is
hereby incorporated by reference into this
Agreement.
7.02 Licensee shall provide written annual reports on
its product development progress or efforts
tocommercialize under the Commercial Development Plan for
each of the Licensed Fields of
Use within sixty (60) days after December 31 of each
calendar year. These progress reports shall
include, but not be limited to: progress on research and
development, status of applications for
regulatory approvals, manufacturing, marketing, and sales
during the preceding calendar year, as well
as plans for the present calendar year. Licensee agrees to
provide any additional data reasonably
required by PHS to evaluate Licensee's performance.
7.03 Licensee shall report to PHS the date of the First
Commercial Sale in each country in the
Licensed Territory within thirty (30) days of such
occurrence.
7.04 Licensee shall submit to PHS within sixty (60)
days after each calendar half-year ending June
30 and December 31 a royalty report setting forth for the
preceding half-year period the amount of
the Licensed Products sold or Licensed Processes practiced
by or on behalf of Licensee in
each country within the Licensed Territory, the Net Sales,
and the amount of royalty accordingly
due. With each such royalty report, Licensee shall submit
payment of the earned royalties due. If no
earned royalties are due to PHS for any reporting period,
the written report shall so state. The
royalty report shall be certified as correct by an
authorized officer of Licensee and shall include a
detailed listing of all deductions made under Paragraph
2.05 to determine Net Sales made under
Article 5 to determine royalties due.
7.05 Royalties due under Article 5 shall be paid in
U.S. dollars. For conversion of foreign currency
to U.S. dollars, the conversion rate shall be the rate
quoted in The Wall Street Journal on the day
that the payment is due. All checks and bank drafts shall
be drawn on United States banks and shall
be payable to "CDC/Technology Transfer" and
shall reference the agreement number assigned by
CDC. All payments required by this Agreement shall be
mailed to the following address: CDC,
Technology Transfer Office, 1600 Clifton Road, NE,
MailStop E-67, Atlanta, GA 30333.. Any loss
of exchange, value, taxes, or other expenses incurred in
the transfer or conversion to U.S. dollars
shall be paid entirely by Licensee. The royalty report
required by paragraph 7.04 of this
Agreement shall accompany each such payment.
7.06 Late charges will be applied to any overdue
payments as required by the U.S. Department of
Treasury in the Treasury Fiscal Requirements Manual,
Section 8025.40. The payment of such late
charges shall not prevent PHS from exercising any other
rights it may have as a consequence of the
lateness of any payment.
7.07 All plans and reports required by this Article 7
and marked "confidential" by Licensee shall be
treated by PHS as commercial and financial information
obtained from a person, and as privileged
and confidential and, to the extent permitted by law,
shall not be subject to disclosure under the
Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. 552.
8. Performance
8.01 Licensee shall use its reasonable best efforts to
introduce the Licensed Products into the
commercial market or apply the Licensed Processes to
commercial use as soon as practicable.
"Reasonable best efforts" for the purpose of
this provision shall include, but not be limited to,
adherence to the Commercial Development Plan.
8.02 Upon the First Commercial Sale, until the
expiration of this Agreement, Licensee shall use
its reasonable best efforts to keep Licensed Products and
Licensed Processes reasonably
accessible to the public.
9. Infringement and Patent Enforcement
9.01 PHS and Licensee agree to notify each other
promptly of each infringement or possible
infringement, as well as any facts which may affect the
validity, scope, or enforceability of the
Licensed Patent Rights of which either Party becomes
aware.
9.02 If PHS has been unable to eliminate a substantial
infringement within one (1) year of written
notification to the Technology Transfer Office from
Licensee of the existence of a substantial
infringement and has not instituted infringement
litigation, Licensee shall be excused from the
payment of the minimum annual royalty and earned royalties
in any country in which the substantial
infringement continues to occur. Thereafter, when the
substantial infringement has ceased or an
infringement suit has been initiated, PHS shall so notify
the Licensee in writing, at which time
Licensee's obligation to pay such royalties shall resume
as of the date of such notification.
9.03 In the event that a declaratory judgment action
alleging invalidity of any of the Licensed Patent
Rights shall be brought against PHS, PHS agrees to notify
Licensee that an action alleging
invalidity has been brought. PHS does not represent that
it will commence legal action to defend
against a declaratory action alleging invalidity. Licensee
shall take no action to compel the
Government either to initiate or to join in any such
declaratory judgment action. Should the
Government be made a party to any such suit by motion or
any other action of Licensee,
Licensee shall reimburse the Government for any costs,
expenses, or fees which the Government
incurs as a result of its defending against such motion or
other action taken in response to the motion.
Upon Licensee's payment of all costs incurred by the
Government as a result of Licensee's
joinder motion or other action, these actions by Licensee
will not be considered a default in the
performance of any material obligation under this
Agreement.
10. Negation of Warranties and Indemnification
10.01 PHS offers no warranties other than those
specified in Article 1.
10.02 PHS does not warrant the validity of the Licensed
Patent Rights and makes no
representations whatsoever with regard to the scope of the
Licensed Patent Rights, or that the
Licensed Patent Rights may be exploited without infringing
other patents or other intellectual
property rights of third parties.
10.03 PHS MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, OF
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OF ANY
SUBJECT MATTER DEFINED BY THE CLAIMS OF THE LICENSED
PATENT
RIGHTS.
10.04 PHS does not represent that it will commence
legal actions against third parties infringing the
Licensed Patent Rights.
10.05 Licensee shall indemnify and hold PHS, its
employees, students, fellows, agents, and
consultants harmless from and against all liability,
demands, damages, expenses, and losses, including
but not limited to death, personal injury, illness, or
property damage in connection with or arising out
of a) the use by or on behalf of Licensee or its
directors, employees, or third parties of any
Licensed Patent Rights, or b) the design, manufacture,
distribution, or use of any Licensed
Products, Licensed Processes, or other products or
processes developed in connection with or
arising out of the Licensed Patent Rights. Licensee agrees
to maintain a liability insurance
program consistent with sound business practice.
11. Termination and Modification of Rights
11.01 This Agreement is effective when signed by all
parties and shall extend to the expiration of
the last to expire of the Licensed Patent Rights unless
sooner terminated as provided in this Article
11.
11.02 In the event that Licensee is in default in the
performance of any material obligations under
this Agreement, and if the default has not been remedied
within ninety (90) days after the date of
notice in writing of such default, PHS may terminate this
Agreement by written notice.
11.03 At least thirty (30) days prior to filing a
petition in bankruptcy, Licensee must inform PHS in
writing of its intention to file the petition in
bankruptcy or of a third party's intention to file an
involuntarypetition in bankruptcy.
11.04 In the event that Licensee becomes insolvent,
files a petition in bankruptcy, has such a
petition filed against it, determines to file a petition
in bankruptcy, or receives notice of a third party's
intention to file an involuntary petition in bankruptcy,
Licensee shall immediately notify PHS in
writing. Furthermore, PHS shall have the right to
terminate this Agreement by giving Licensee
written notice. Termination of this Agreement is effective
upon Licensee's receipt of the written
notice.
11.05 Licensee shall have a unilateral right to
terminate this Agreement and/or its rights in any
country by giving PHS sixty (60) days' written notice to
that effect.
11.06 PHS shall specifically have the right to
terminate or modify, at its option, this Agreement, if
PHS determines that the Licensee: 1) is not executing the
Commercial Development Plan
submitted with its request for a license and the Licensee
cannot otherwise demonstrate to PHS's
satisfaction that the Licensee has taken, or can be
expected to take within a reasonable time,
effective steps to achieve practical application of the
Licensed Products or Licensed Processes;
2) has willfully made a false statement of, or willfully
omitted, a material fact in the license application
or in any report required by the license agreement; 3) has
committed a substantial breach of a
covenant or agreement contained in the license; 4) is not
keeping Licensed Products or Licensed
Processes reasonably available to the public after
commercial use commences; 5) cannot
reasonably satisfy unmet health and safety needs; or 6)
cannot reasonably justify a failure to comply
with the domestic production requirement of Paragraph 4.01
unless waived. In making this
determination, PHS will take into account the normal
course of such commercial development
programs conducted with sound and reasonable business
practices and judgment and the annual
reports submitted by Licensee under Paragraph 7.02. Prior
to invoking this right, PHS shall give
written notice to Licensee providing Licensee specific
notice of, and a ninety (90) day opportunity
to respond to, PHS's concerns as to the previous items 1)
to 6). If Licensee fails to alleviate PHS's
concerns as to the previous items 1) to 6) or fails to
initiate corrective action to PHS's satisfaction,
PHS may terminate this Agreement.
11.07 PHS reserves the right according to 35 U.S.C.
209(f)(4) to terminate or modify this
Agreement if it is determined that such action is
necessary to meet requirements for public use
specified by Federal regulations issued after the date of
the license and such requirements are not
reasonably satisfied by Licensee.
11.08 Within thirty (30) days of receipt of written
notice of PHS's unilateral decision to terminate this
Agreement, Licensee may, consistent with the provisions of
37 CFR 404.11, appeal the decision
by written submission to the Director of CDC or designee.
The decision of the CDC Director or
designee shall be the final agency decision. Licensee may
thereafter exercise any and all
administrative or judicial remedies that may be
available.
11.09 Within ninety (90) days of termination of this
Agreement under this Article 11 or expiration
under Paragraph 11.01, a final report shall be submitted
by Licensee. Any royalty payments and
unreimbursed patent expenses due to PHS become immediately
due and payable upon termination
or expiration of this Agreement, and Licensee shall return
all Licensed Products or other
materials included within the Licensed Patent Rights to
PHS or provide PHS with certification of
their destruction.
11.10 Paragraphs 6.01, 7.057.07, 10.01, 10.03, 10.05,
and 11.08 of this Agreement shall survive
termination of this Agreement.
12. General Provisions
12.01 Neither Party may waive or release any of its
rights or interests in this Agreement except in
writing. The failure of the Government to assert a right
hereunder or to insist upon compliance with
any term or condition of this Agreement shall not
constitute a waiver of that right by the
Government orexcuse a similar subsequent failure to
perform any such term or condition by
Licensee.
12.02 This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement
between the Parties relating to the subject
matter of the Licensed Patent Rights, and all prior
negotiations, representations, agreements, and
understandings are merged into, extinguished by, and
completely expressed by this Agreement.
12.03 The provisions of this Agreement are severable,
and in the event that any provision of this
Agreement shall be determined to be invalid or
unenforceable under any controlling body of law,
such determination shall not in any way affect the
validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions
of this Agreement.
12.04 If either Party desires a modification to this
Agreement, the Parties shall, upon reasonable
notice of the proposed modification by the Party desiring
the change, confer in good faith to
determine the desirability of such modification. No
modification will be effective until a written
amendment is signed by the signatories to this Agreement
or their designees.
12.05 The construction, validity, performance, and
effect of this Agreement shall be governed by
Federal law as applied by the Federal courts in the
District of Columbia.
12.06 All notices required or permitted by this
Agreement shall be given by prepaid, first class,
registered or certified mail properly addressed to the
other Party at the address designated on the
following Signature Page, or to such other address as may
be designated in writing by such other
Party, and shall be effective as of the date of the
postmark of such notice.
12.07 This Agreement shall not be assigned by Licensee
except a) with the prior written consent
of PHS; or b) as part of a sale or transfer of
substantially the entire business of Licensee relating to
operations which concern this Agreement. Licensee shall
notify PHS within ten (10) days of any
assignment of this Agreement by Licensee.
12.08 Licensee agrees in its use of any PHS-supplied
materials to comply with all applicable
statutes, regulations, and guidelines, including Public
Health Service and National Institutes of Health
regulations and guidelines. Licensee agrees not to use the
materials for research involving human
subjects or clinical trials in the United States without
complying with 21 CFR Part 50 and 45 CFR
Part 46. Licensee agrees not to use the materials for
research involving human subjects or clinical
trials outside of the United States without notifying PHS,
in writing, of such research or trials and
complying with the applicable regulations of the
appropriate national control authorities. Written
notification to PHS of research involving human subjects
or clinical trials outside of the United States
shall be given no later than sixty (60) days prior to
commencement of such research or trials.
12.09 Licensee acknowledges that it is subject to and
agrees to abide by the United States laws
and regulations (including the Export Administration Act
of 1979 and Arms Export Control Act)
controlling the export of technical data, computer
software, laboratory prototypes, biological
material, and other commodities. The transfer of such
items may require a license from the cognizant
agency of the U.S. Government or written assurances by
Licensee that it shall not export such
items to certain foreign countries without prior approval
of such agency. PHS neither represents that
a license is or is not required or that, if required, it
shall be issued.
12.10 Licensee agrees to mark the Licensed Products or
their packaging sold in the United States
with all applicable U.S. patent numbers and similarly to
indicate "Patent Pending" status. All
Licensed Products manufactured in, shipped to, or sold in
other countries shall be marked in such a
manner as to preserve PHS patent rights in such
countries.
12.11 By entering into this Agreement, PHS does not
directly or indirectly endorse any product or
service provided, or to be provided, by Licensee whether
directly or indirectly related to this
Agreement. Licensee shall not state or imply that this
Agreement is an endorsement by the
Government, PHS, any other Government organizational unit,
or any Government employee.
Additionally, Licensee shall not use the names of PHS,
NIH, or CDC or their employees in any
advertising, promotional, or sales literature without the
prior written consent of PHS.
12.12 The Parties agree to attempt to settle amicably
any controversy or claim arising under this
Agreement or a breach of this Agreement, except for
appeals of modification or termination
decisions provided for in Article 11. Licensee agrees
first to appeal any such unsettled claims or
controversies to the Director of CDC, or designee, whose
decision shall be considered the final
agency decision. Thereafter, Licensee may exercise any
administrative or judicial remedies that may
be available.
12.13 Nothing relating to the grant of a license, nor
the grant itself, shall be construed to confer upon
any person any immunity from or defenses under the
antitrust laws or from a charge of patent misuse,
and the acquisition and use of rights pursuant to 37 CFR
Part 404 shall not be immunized from the
operation of state or Federal law by reason of the source
of the grant.
