2.1                                 Assignment of Intellectual Property Rights.   Agilent agrees to, and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries to, grant, assign and convey to Verigy IP Sub the Transferred Intellectual Property Rights. For the avoidance of doubt, the Transferred Intellectual Property Rights are transferred subject to the licenses granted to Agilent in Article IV below, the competitive restrictions in Article IX, and all other licenses granted under any such Intellectual Property Rights existing and in force as of the Distribution Date (subject to the terms and conditions contained in each such license agreement). The Transferred Intellectual Property Rights include all of Agilent’s and its Subsidiaries’ right, title and interest in and to any and all proceeds, causes of action and rights of recovery against Third Parties for past and future infringement or misappropriation of any of the Transferred Intellectual Property Rights. The Parties shall execute an Intellectual Property Assignment in a form substantially similar to that attached hereto as Exhibit B, and Agilent shall cause its Subsidiaries to do so as appropriate, to document the transfer of the Transferred Intellectual Property Rights. Verigy shall have the sole responsibility, at its sole cost and expense, to file the Intellectual Property Assignment and any other forms or documents as required to record the assignment of the Transferred Intellectual Property Rights from Agilent and its Subsidiaries to Verigy IP Sub; provided however, that, upon request, Agilent shall provide reasonable assistance to Verigy to record the assignment, at Verigy’s sole cost and expense. For the avoidance of doubt, the transfer of Transferred Intellectual Property Rights under this Section 2.1 shall transfer, assign and convey all of Agilent’s and its Subsidiaries’ rights, title and interest in and to the Transferred Intellectual Property Rights.

 

(a)                                  Assignment of Transferred Trademarks.   As part of the assignment of the Transferred Intellectual Property Rights, Agilent hereby agrees to, and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries to, assign to Verigy IP Sub all right, title and interest in all countries worldwide in and to the Transferred Trademarks and any applications and registrations related thereto, including all common law trademark or trade name rights in such Transferred Trademarks, together with the goodwill of the business symbolized by such Transferred Trademarks.

 

2.2                                 Assignment of Intellectual Property Licenses.   Agilent agrees to, and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries to, assign and convey to Verigy IP Sub, the Transferred Licenses, subject to the terms, conditions and restrictions of each Transferred License. Verigy acknowledges and agrees that it shall have sole responsibility to seek and obtain the consent of any Third Party necessary for the transfer of any of the Transferred Licenses, and shall bear sole responsibility for any consideration necessary for their transfer, provided however that upon request Agilent will provide reasonable assistance in obtaining such consent, at Verigy’s (or its Subsidiaries’) sole expense. For the avoidance of doubt, and subject to the terms and conditions of the Transferred Licenses, upon the assignment and conveyance of the Transferred Licenses to Verigy IP Sub, Verigy IP Sub shall succeed to all of the rights and responsibilities of Agilent and Agilent’s Subsidiaries under each such Transferred License, including any liabilities arising under such Transferred License prior to the date of such assignment and conveyance, which liabilities shall be the responsibility of Verigy and/or Verigy IP Sub.

 

2.3                                 Transfer of Business Technology.   Agilent agrees to, and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries to, grant, assign and convey to Verigy IP Sub the Business Technology. For the avoidance of doubt, the transfer of the Business Technology does not include the transfer of any Intellectual Property Rights in or to the Business Technology; such Intellectual Property Rights are either transferred to Verigy IP Sub as Transferred Intellectual Property Rights in Section 2.1 above or are licensed to Verigy IP Sub in Section 3.1 below.

ARTICLE V

ADDITIONAL INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RELATED MATTERS

 

5.1                                 Assignments and Licenses.   No Party may assign or grant a license under any of such Party’s Intellectual Property Right which it has licensed to the other Party in Article III or IV above, unless such assignment or grant is made subject to the licenses granted herein.

 

5.2                                 Assistance By Employees.   Each Party agrees that its employees and contractors have a continuing duty to assist the other Party with the prosecution of the other Party’s Patent applications and, accordingly, each agrees to make available to the other Party or its counsel inventors and other reasonably necessary persons employed by it for interviews and/or testimony to assist in good faith in further prosecution, maintenance or litigation of such Patent applications, including the signing of documents related thereto. Any actual and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses associated with such assistance shall be borne by the Party that owns the Patent application, expressly excluding the value of the time of each Party’s personnel.

 

5.3                                 Inventor Compensation.   Each Party will be responsible for providing inventor incentive compensation to its employees under its own internal policies. To the extent that a Party bases an inventor’s incentive compensation on a Patent or a Patent application of the other Party, the Parties will reasonably cooperate by providing to each other relevant information about their Patents for which one or more inventors are employees of the other Party. To the extent that inventor compensation is specified by local law, such as in Germany and Japan, the Parties will cooperate in providing reasonable information to each other in order to enable each Party to calculate inventor compensation. No Party shall have any obligation to provide any inventor incentive compensation to an employee of the other Party except as required by law.

 

5.4                                 Assistance with Litigation.   In the case of assistance with Third Party litigation pertaining to any of the Intellectual Property Rights transferred in Article II or licensed in Articles III or IV above, the Parties shall agree on a case by case basis on reasonable compensation, for the value of the non-litigating Party’s employee’s time as reasonably required in connection with any such litigation.

 

5.5                                 No Implied Licenses.   Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as conferring any rights by implication, estoppel or otherwise, under any Intellectual Property Rights, other than as expressly granted in this Agreement.

 

5.6                                 No Field Restrictions For Patent Licensing.   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Parties shall be free to grant licenses of any sort under any of their owned Verigy Patents or Agilent Patents (as the case may be) to any Third Party without restriction as to field of use.

 

5.7                                 No Obligation to Prosecute Patents.   No Party shall have any obligation to seek, perfect or maintain any protection for any of its Intellectual Property Rights. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Party shall have any obligation to file any Patent application, to prosecute any Patent or secure any Patent rights or to maintain any Patent in force. Agilent and Verigy will agree on a reasonable list of Patent families retained by Agilent but of interest to Verigy and Agilent will use good faith efforts to track those families in its patent management database and to offer to assign to Verigy IP Sub any granted patents in such families if Agilent decides to abandon or lapse such granted patent. Agilent’s offer will be under reasonable conditions (including, for example, acknowledgement of prior third party rights, license back to Agilent without restriction as to field of use, and similar conditions consistent with this Agreement). Agilent’s tracking and offer obligation is personal to Verigy IP Sub and will not extend to any successor in interest to Verigy IP Sub and, in any event, will expire five (5) years after the Separation Date unless Verigy IP Sub makes an annual written request to Agilent

thereafter to continue. For the avoidance of doubt, Agilent will have no liability for any failure to track, offer or assign any patent under this paragraph.

 

5.8                                 Reconciliation.   In accordance with the requirements of Section 2.8 of the General Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the Parties acknowledge that, as part of the transfer of the Transferred Intellectual Property Rights, the Transferred Licenses and the Business Technology, Agilent or its Affiliates may inadvertently retain Technology or Intellectual Property Rights that should have been transferred to Verigy IP Sub pursuant to Article II of this Agreement, and Verigy IP Sub may inadvertently acquire Technology or Intellectual Property Rights that should not have been transferred. Each Party agrees to negotiate, in good faith the transfer to the other of any such later identified Technology or Intellectual Property Rights, subject to the licenses set forth in Articles III and IV above, at the reasonable written request of the other Party.

 

5.9                                 Technical Assistance.   Except as otherwise set forth herein, in the Master Separation and Distribution Agreement, or any other mutually executed agreement between the Parties, no Party shall be required to provide the other Party with any technical assistance or to furnish any other Party with, or obtain on their behalf, any documents, materials or other information or Technology.

 

5.10                           Third-Party Infringement.   No Party shall have any obligation hereunder to institute or maintain any action or suit against Third Parties for infringement or misappropriation of any Intellectual Property Rights in or to any Technology licensed to the other Party hereunder, or to defend any action or suit brought by a Third Party which challenges or concerns the validity of any of such Intellectual Property Rights or which claims that any Technology licensed to the other Party hereunder infringes or constitutes a misappropriation of any Intellectual Property Rights of any Third Party. Each Party (the “Notifying Party”) has the continuing obligation to promptly notify the other Party in writing upon learning of a Third Party likely infringing upon or misappropriating any Intellectual Property Rights of the other Party which are licensed to the Notifying Party in this Agreement. Such notification shall set forth in reasonable specificity the identity of the suspected infringing Third Party and the nature of the suspected infringement.

Transferred Trade Secrets” means the Trade Secrets known to the Parties that are exclusively used in the Business.

 

Verigy Commercial Software” means software products commercially released by Verigy or its Subsidiaries and listed on a Verigy CPL as of the Distribution Date, or (if applicable) that has been released by Verigy or any of its Subsidiaries to Third Parties for beta testing as of the Distribution Date.

 

Verigy Field” means the design, development, research, manufacture, supply, distribution, sale, support (including consulting and other services), and maintenance of any products that are:

 

(a)                                  within the Verigy Primary Field;

 

(b)                                 within the Verigy Overlap Field; or

 

(c)                                  listed in the Verigy CPL as of the Separation Date, and reasonable extensions thereof.

 

For the avoidance of doubt, the Verigy Field excludes any products that are within the Agilent Primary Field unless specifically listed in (a-c) of this definition.

 



 

For the further avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge that Verigy’s area of interest is focused on the testing of complex ICs, SOCs and SIPs that have a very large number of input/output ports.

 

Verigy Overlap Field” means the design, development, research, manufacture, supply, distribution, sale, support (including consulting and other services), and maintenance of any:

 

(a)                                  ASTS Components;

 

(b)                                 products (other than ASTSs) for providing Functional Test of ICs, SOCs or SIPs, whether or not including Parametric Test, Design Verification or Engineering Characterization capabilities;

 

(c)                                  ASTS development test systems (including hardware and software) that are intended to enable development of test programs and protocols for use in high-volume Functional Test of ICs, SOCs or SIPs, whether or not such development test systems themselves are capable of providing such high-volume Functional Test; and,

 

(d)                                 products (other than ASTSs) for providing Parametric Test, Design Verification, Engineering Characterization or Functional Test of: (i) wireless communications devices, such as cellular telephones or wireless networking products, whether in packaged device or module form, and whether or not implemented as an IC, SOC or SIP; (ii) modules (such as RF front-end modules) containing one or more SOCs or ICs connected with other active or passive devices; and (iii) RF and higher frequency (e.g., microwave and optical) devices and components such as oscillators, mixers, amplifiers and 3-port devices, to the extent that such devices or components are in the form of an IC, SOC or SIP.

 

The Parties anticipate that future advances in technology will yield higher levels of semiconductor device integration such that future instances of the devices under test listed in the definitions of Agilent Primary Field and Agilent Overlap Field might be considered to have evolved into an IC, SOC or SIP. For the avoidance of doubt, the products listed in the Agilent Primary Field and the Agilent Overlap Field will be deemed to be within the Agilent Overlap Field and the Verigy Overlap Field to the extent that such future instances of devices under test have so evolved.

 

Verigy Patents” means (a) the Transferred Patents, and (b) every other Patent other than design patents, with a First Effective Filing Date prior to the first anniversary of the Separation Date which is (i) owned by Verigy IP Sub or any Verigy Affiliate as of or after the Separation Date, or for which (ii) Verigy IP Sub or any Verigy Affiliate has the right as of or after the Separation Date under such Patent to grant licenses to Agilent of the scope granted by Verigy to Agilent in Article IV of this Agreement without the payment of royalties or other consideration to any Third Parties (excluding employees of Verigy or its Affiliates); provided however, that no Patent shall be considered a Verigy Patent if it is a Verigy Restricted Patent.

 

Verigy Primary Field” means the design, development, research, manufacture, supply, distribution, sale, support (including consulting and other services), and maintenance of any Automated Semiconductor Test Systems.

 

Verigy Products” means all products and services of the businesses in which Verigy IP Sub or any of its Affiliates is now or hereafter engaged, including the business of making (but not having made) Third Party products for Third Parties when Verigy IP Sub or any Verigy Affiliates is acting as a contract manufacturer or foundry for such Third Parties. The term Verigy Products includes the Technology embodied in and/or used to manufacture or deliver the products and services referred to in the preceding sentence as well as marketing and other collateral materials related thereto.

 

Verigy Restricted Patent” means any Patent under which Verigy IP Sub is restricted from granting a license to Agilent pursuant to an agreement with a Third Party.
