agency in any seeking of an extension of any patent for a New Product. The Parties shall, at Novo’s sole cost and expense, cooperate with any efforts to extend the term of such patent for a New Product, including diligently supplying all information relating to such extension, and executing supporting documents required to comply with all laws pertaining to the extension of patent term.

                    6.4.2.15 In the event the Patent Representatives are unable to agree upon (i) a Carved Factor VII Claim, (ii) the scope, language or prosecution strategy therefor, or (iii) any other matter under this Section 6.4.2, the parties will do the following to resolve the dispute:

                         (a) Any disagreement will be referred to the Steering Committee for a period of 15 business days.

                         (b) If the Steering Committee is unable to resolve the dispute within such 15 business day period, the dispute will be referred to the Designated Representatives of the parties for resolution.

               6.4.3 Neose License Claims. The parties will cooperate in good faith with each other in identifying Neose License Claims, and in drafting, filing and prosecuting Neose Improvement Claims.

                    6.4.3.1 Novo will notify Neose of any Patent Rights containing Neose License Claims not constituting Neose Improvement Claims (each an “Other Neose License Claim”) promptly upon publication of any patent application containing Neose License Claims. Novo’s Patent Representative will keep Neose’s Patent Representative fully-informed about the status of any filing containing Other Neose License Claims.

                    6.4.3.2 The Patent Representatives will meet in person or by phone at least quarterly, but more often if necessary, (each such meeting a “Neose Improvement Meeting”) to discuss the timing, logistics and other details regarding the identification, of any Neose Improvement Claims and, as soon as is practicable thereafter, will agree on the specific claims to be filed and the language therefor.

                    6.4.3.3 As soon as commercially practicable following each Neose Improvement Meeting and the agreement upon Neose Improvement Claims to be filed, Novo will, at Neose’s sole cost and expense, with respect to any agreed-upon Neose Improvement Claim, subject to this Section 6.4.3, file, prosecute, maintain, and extend, in the jurisdictions chosen by Neose, one or more new or continuation/divisional applications consisting only of the agreed-upon Neose Improvement Claims, claiming priority (each a “Neose Improvement Claim Application”), as appropriate, to one or more pending Novo patent applications.

                    6.4.3.4 Each Neose Improvement Claim Application will be owned by Novo and licensed to Neose pursuant to Section 5.3 and, subject to Novo’s obligations in this Section 6.4., managed by Novo throughout its prosecution and prosecuted by patent counsel appointed by Novo.

                    6.4.3.5 With respect to all Neose License Claims, the parties shall agree on the scope and language of the claims to be filed.

Novo will not seek an extension of the term of any Neose License Claim to which Neose has an exclusive license under Section 5.3 without Neose’s prior written consent.

                    6.4.3.12 Neose hereby authorizes Novo to act as its agent before any patent authority in connection with seeking an extension under Section 6.4.3.11 and agrees that Novo is entitled to rely on any activities of Neose as a marketing applicant before any regulatory agency in any seeking of an extension of any patent for a product containing a Neose Exclusive Compound. The Parties shall cooperate, at Neose’s sole cost and expense, with any efforts to extend the term of such patent for a product containing a Neose Exclusive Compound, including diligently supplying all information relating to such extension, and executing supporting documents required to comply with all laws pertaining to the extension of patent term.

                    6.4.3.13 In the event the Patent Representatives are unable to agree upon (i) a Neose License Claim, (ii) the scope, language or prosecution strategy therefor, or (iii) any other matter under this Section 6.4.3, the parties will do the following to resolve the dispute:

                         (a) Any disagreement will be referred to the Steering Committee for a period of 15 business days.

                         (b) If the Steering Committee is unable to resolve the dispute within such 15 business day period, the dispute will be referred to the Designated Representatives of the parties for resolution.

               6.5.2 Patent Rights with Respect to Joint Improvements. With respect to Joint Improvements, the Parties shall meet to determine whether patent protection is appropriate and, if so, in which countries, if any, patent applications claiming such joint inventions and discoveries should be filed. Novo shall file, prosecute, and maintain, at its expense, such joint patent applications. Novo may at any time, in its sole discretion, discontinue the preparation, prosecution or maintenance of such joint patent applications, in which case Novo will give Neose sufficient notice to enable Neose to, and Neose may, file, prosecute and maintain such applications.

     6.6 Enforcement of Ownership Rights

               6.6.1 Reports of Infringement. Each Party shall promptly report in writing to the other during the Term any infringement or misappropriation or suspected infringement or misappropriation of any of the Neose Technology, Neose License Claims or Carved Factor VII Claims of which such Party becomes aware and shall provide the other Party with its full cooperation in the protection and enforcement of the affected intellectual property and all available evidence supporting said infringement, misappropriation, suspected infringement or unauthorized use or misappropriation. Neose shall reimburse Novo for its reasonable, documented costs of such cooperation with regard to Neose Technology and Neose License Claims, unless such infringement or misappropriation is by an Affiliate or Sublicensee of Novo and Novo shall reimburse Neose for its reasonable, documented costs of such cooperation with regard to Carved Factor VII Claims, unless such infringement or misappropriation is by an Affiliate or Sublicensee of Neose.

               6.6.2 Right to Institute Suit.

The Enforcing Party shall not enter into any settlement, consent judgment or other voluntary final disposition of such suit that would adversely affect the other party’s rights under this Agreement without the other party’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld with the proviso that no such consent will be required in the case of a settlement by Novo related to Carved Factor VII Claims unless such settlement could have an adverse effect on any of Neose’s Patent Rights. In the event that the Enforcing Party recovers any sums in such suit by way of damages or in settlement thereof, the Enforcing Party shall be entitled to retain the same.

               6.6.3 Cooperation. In a suit initiated by one party, if it is legally required for the other party to join any such suit, or if failure of the other party to join such suit would result in dismissal thereof, the other party shall waive any objection to such joinder on the grounds of personal jurisdiction, venue or forum non conveniens and shall execute all papers and perform such other acts as may be reasonably required to permit the litigation to be conducted.

               6.6.4 Continued Infringement.

                    6.6.4.1 If Neose fails to either bring suit against or enter into negotiations for settlement with such Third Party within six (6) months after receipt of notice of such infringement and Novo is of the opinion that the alleged infringement or misappropriation of Neose Technology is occurring in the Field of Use then, upon Novo’s written request, the Parties shall seek the opinion of patent counsel acceptable to both Parties as to whether there has been or continues to be a misappropriation or infringement of the Neose Technology in the Field of Use by such Third Party. If such patent counsel concurs with Novo’s opinion, Novo shall have the right, but not the obligation, to bring suit against such Third Party under the Neose Technology and to join Neose as a party plaintiff. Neose will cooperate with Novo in any such suit brought against a Third Party and shall have the right to consult with Novo and to participate in and be represented by counsel in such suit at its own expense. In the event that Novo recovers any sums in such suit by way of damages or in settlement thereof, such sums shall be used first to reimburse each of Novo and Neose for their documented, out-of-pocket legal expenses, with Novo retaining any remaining amounts.

                    6.6.4.2 If Novo fails to either bring suit against or enter into negotiations for settlement with such Third Party within six (6) months after receipt of notice of such infringement and Neose is of the opinion that the alleged infringement or misappropriation of the relevant Neose License Claims is occurring with regard to a Neose Exclusive Compound then, upon Neose’s written request, the Parties shall seek the opinion of patent counsel acceptable to both Parties as to whether there has been or continues to be a misappropriation or infringement of the Neose License Claims that affects a Neose Exclusive Compound by such Third Party. If such patent counsel concurs with Neose’s opinion, Neose shall have the right, but not the obligation, to bring suit against such Third Party under the Neose License Claims and to join Novo as a party plaintiff. Novo will cooperate with Neose in any such suit brought against a Third Party and shall have the right to consult with Neose and to participate in and be represented by counsel in such suit at its own expense. In the event that Neose recovers any sums in such suit by way of damages or in settlement thereof, such sums shall be used first to reimburse each of Neose and Novo for their documented, out-of-pocket legal expenses, with Neose retaining any remaining amounts.

     6.7 Novo Trademarks. Subject to its assignment obligations under Section 6.3.2, Novo shall select and own the trademarks for marketing the New Products in the Territory.

          7.1 Mutual Information. Each Party shall immediately notify the other if a claim or other proceedings are brought against either Party alleging that the use of the Neose Technology in making, using or selling the New Product infringes upon the Patent Rights of a Third Party.

          7.2 Defense of Third Party Action. If claims or proceedings are brought against Novo by a Third Party alleging that the use of the Neose Technology to produce a New Product infringes upon the Patent Rights of a Third Party, the Designated Representatives shall consult on an expedited basis, and Neose shall give due consideration to any reasonable request of Novo relating to the proposed defense or settlement of such claims or proceedings. Subject to Section 7.4, the final decision whether or not and, as the case may be, how to defend or settle such claims or proceedings shall be with Neose. Neose shall immediately notify Novo of such decision sufficiently in advance of any deadlines by which formal responses are due in any such proceedings to enable Novo to undertake its own defense and Novo shall have the right to join any such proceedings as a party thereto at its own expense by counsel of its own choice. Each Party shall provide the other with such assistance as is reasonably necessary and shall cooperate in the defense of any such action or proceeding. Neose shall not enter into any settlement, consent judgment, or other voluntary final disposition of such suit that would adversely affect Novo’s rights under this Agreement or which would result in Novo being liable for damages, without Novo’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

          7.3 Declaratory Judgment Action. Neose shall have the right, but not the obligation, to file any declaratory judgment action in any court of competent jurisdiction as to questions of validity or infringement of any Third Party patent relating to the use of the Neose Technology.

               7.3.1 Cooperation. The Parties shall closely cooperate in any such declaratory judgment action. In conducting such action, the Parties shall render each other all reasonable assistance, free of charge. The final strategy in such action shall be determined by Neose and Neose’s legal counsel in coordination with Novo and any additional legal counsel of Novo.

In the event that Novo is of the opinion, at any time during the Term, that a license under any Blocking Patent is necessary or advisable for purposes of enabling Novo to exercise its license rights under Section 5.1.1, it shall notify Neose. The Parties shall then seek an opinion of patent counsel acceptable to both Parties. If such patent counsel concurs with Novo’s opinion, Novo and Neose shall co-operate to obtain such a license for the benefit of Novo and, as the case may be, also for Neose, in accordance with the following provisions:

                    7.4.1.1 Neose shall be primarily responsible for obtaining any such Third Party license at its own expense. The matter shall be deemed resolved if Neose is granted a license, ******, under the relevant Blocking Patent that would make the continued exercise of the rights granted to Novo by Neose hereunder non-infringing with respect to ******. ****** shall be solely responsible for ****** under such license.

                    7.4.1.2 However, in the event that Neose is unable to resolve the matter in accordance with Section 7.4.1.1 within one hundred twenty (120) days from receipt of notice from Novo upon terms that are commercially reasonable to Neose at Neose’s discretion, then Novo shall be entitled to negotiate a license in favor of Novo under such Blocking Patents; provided that to the extent that Novo must ****** under such license, Novo may ****** payments owed under Sections 4.1 or 4.2, provided that no payment owed under Section 4.1 or 4.2 shall be ****** more than ****** as a result of the operation of this Section 7.4.1.2.

                    7.4.1.3 In relation to the negotiation and contracting of any such Blocking Patent license, the provisions of this Section 7.4 shall prevail over the provisions of Sections 7.2 and 7.3.
