the purposes of developing and commercializing its respective Compound for use in the Combination, which license shall not be transferable or sublicensable to any Third Party except to (A) Affiliates of the Opting-out Party or Non-Filing Party (as applicable) and (B) Third Parties engaged in developing, manufacturing or marketing that Party’s Compound for or on behalf of that Party or its Affiliates.  

10.1.3Except as expressly provided in Section 3.7, 9.1, 10.1.2, 10.2 or 10.3 and in furtherance and not in limitation of Section 9.1, each Party agrees to make no patent application based on the other Party’s Confidential Information, and to give no assistance to any Third Party for such application, without the other Party’s prior written authorization.

10.1.4Pfizer shall have the first right to initiate legal action to enforce all Joint Patents against infringement, and to protect all Jointly Owned Inventions from misappropriation, by any Third Party where such infringement or misappropriation results from the development or sale of a MEK Inhibitor or to defend any declaratory judgment action relating thereto, at its sole expense.  In the event that Pfizer fails to initiate or defend such action within [***] days after being first notified of such infringement or misappropriation, Ideaya shall have the right to do so at its sole expense.  Similarly, Ideaya shall have the first right to initiate legal action to enforce all Joint Patents against infringement and to protect all Jointly Owned Inventions from misappropriation, by any Third Party where such infringement or misappropriation results from the development or sale of a PKC Inhibitor or to defend any declaratory judgment action relating thereto, at its sole expense. In the event that Ideaya fails to initiate or defend such action within [***] days after being first notified of such infringement, Pfizer shall have the right to do so at its sole expense.  In the event that legal action to enforce Joint Patents will involve infringement or misappropriation resulting from the development or sale of a molecule or molecules that is/are or include(s) both a MEK Inhibitor and a PKC Inhibitor, the Parties shall work together to coordinate such action and shall, unless one Party elects not to pursue such legal action, share the costs and expenses of such litigation equally.  For clarity, if the alleged infringer is selling or intending to sell only one of either a MEK Inhibitor or a PKC Inhibitor, then the foregoing obligation to share the costs and expenses of such litigation shall not apply.

10.1.5If one Party brings any prosecution or enforcement action or proceeding against a Third Party with respect to any Joint Patent, the second Party agrees to be joined as a party plaintiff where necessary and to give the first Party reasonable assistance and authority to file and prosecute the suit.  The costs and expenses of the Party bringing suit under this Section 10.1.5 shall be borne by such Party, and any damages or other monetary awards recovered shall be shared as follows: (i) the amount of such recovery actually received by the Party controlling such action shall be first applied to the out-of-pocket costs of each Party in connection with such action; and then (ii) any remaining proceeds shall be divided evenly between Pfizer and Ideaya.  A settlement or consent judgment or other voluntary final disposition of a suit under this Section 10.1.5 may not be entered into without the consent of the Party not bringing the suit.

10.2Inventions Owned by Pfizer.  Notwithstanding Section 10.1, the Parties agree that all rights to Inventions relating solely to the Pfizer Compound or a MEK Inhibitor are the exclusive property of Pfizer.  Pfizer shall be entitled to file in its own name relevant patent applications and to own resultant patent rights for any such Invention.  For the avoidance of doubt, any Invention generically encompassing the Pfizer Compound (and not any Ideaya proprietary compound including the Ideaya Compound) within its scope, even where the Pfizer Compound is not disclosed per se, is the exclusive property of Pfizer.

10.3Inventions Owned by Ideaya.  Notwithstanding Section 10.1, the Parties agree that all rights to Inventions relating solely to the Ideaya Compound or a PKC Inhibitor are the exclusive property of Ideaya.  Ideaya shall be entitled to file in its own name relevant patent applications and to own resultant patent rights for any such Invention. For the avoidance of doubt, any Invention generically encompassing the Ideaya Compound (and not any Pfizer proprietary compound including the Pfizer Compound) within its scope, even where the Ideaya Compound is not disclosed per se, is the exclusive property of Ideaya.

10.4Mutual Freedom to Operate for Combination Inventions.

10.4.1Pfizer hereby grants to Ideaya (i) during the term of this Agreement and (ii) perpetually contingent upon and effective as of Regulatory Approval for the commercial sale of the Combination, an irrevocable, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid-up license, transferable and sublicensable, to any patent claims directed to the Combination in any patent application or patent owned or controlled by Pfizer which (a) has a priority claim that is earlier than the initiation of the Study (i.e., first dosing of the first patient in the Study) and (b) claims the Combination, solely in order to practice such Combination for all purposes.

10.4.2Ideaya hereby grants to Pfizer (i) during the term of this Agreement and (ii) perpetually contingent upon and effective as of Regulatory Approval for the commercial sale of the Combination, an irrevocable, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid-up license, transferable and sublicensable, to any patent claims directed to the Combination in any patent application or patent owned or controlled by Ideaya which (a) has a priority claim that is earlier than the initiation of the Study (i.e., first dosing of the first patient in the Study) and (b) claims the Combination, solely in order to practice such Combination for all purposes.  

10.4.3For clarity, the terms of this Section 10.4 do not provide Ideaya or Pfizer with any rights, title or interest or any license to the other Party’s background intellectual property which does not claim the Combination (i.e., intellectual property owned or licensed by either Party which does not constitute an Invention and does not claim the Combination) except as necessary to conduct the Study.
