What is a Cross License Agreement?

Cross license agreements, sometimes called “patent pools”, are legal contracts used for intellectual property. In this agreement, all parties involved are granted rights to the specified intellectual property which can be a piece of technology, a product, or research results. Cross licenses are common between companies who have patents over different pieces of the same product. Cross license agreements are beneficial for both parties and help avoid lawsuits over patent infringement. Both parties benefit from the use of the intellectual property so neither company needs to waste time developing new independent technology. In addition, cross license agreements speed up the production process.

2.2 Enforcement. In the event that either Party hereto becomes aware of any infringement of Licensor’s Intellectual Property Rights by a third party it shall promptly notify the other Party hereto. Licensor shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to institute, prosecute and control any action or proceeding with respect to such infringement, using counsel of its choice, including any declaratory judgment action arising from such infringement. Licensee shall cooperate with Licensor, at Licensor’s expense, in pursuing or defending any action with respect to Licensor’s Intellectual Property Rights, including, without limitation, joining as a party plaintiff and executing such documents as may be reasonably necessary. Licensor shall retain all amounts recovered in any such action or proceeding. In the event that Licensor fails to institute legal proceedings to cease an infringement within nine (9) months of receiving notice of such infringement and a request by Licensee to do so, Licensee shall have the right to initiate an action to cease such infringement, provided that Licensee take no action that may adversely affect Licensor’s Intellectual Property Rights without Licensor’s prior written consent. Licensee shall prosecute and control any action or proceeding with respect to such infringement, using counsel of its choice, including any declaratory judgment actions arising from such infringement, provided that Licensee take no action that may be deemed an admission of guilt or liability on behalf of Licensor or make any settlement or compromise that shall adversely affect Licensor or require Licensor to incur any obligation in connection with such settlement or compromise without prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Licensor shall cooperate with Licensee, at Licensee’s expense, in pursuing or defending any such action with respect to Licensor’s Intellectual Property Rights, including without limitation joining as a party plaintiff and executing such documents as may be reasonably necessary. Licensor shall retain all amounts recovered for the payment of Licensor’s expenses, and shall pay Licensee one-third of any and all additional amounts recovered with respect to use of Licensor’s Intellectual Property Rights.

2.3 Third-Party Rights. Each Party shall disclose in writing any open source software or other third-party materials that may be embodied in the Licensed Technology upon the Effective Date or in subsequent deliveries to the other Party pursuant to Section 2.4 below. Neither Party shall be obligated to provide or license any Licensed Technology to the extent such technology is subject to third-party rights to which the Licensor does not have sufficient rights to grant sublicense rights contemplated herein at no cost, subject to the obligations in the following sentences. If the Licensor has the right to grant only limited sublicense rights, or such sublicense rights are subject to a fee or royalty terms, the Licensor shall disclose such license terms to the Licensee, and shall grant such sublicense at the Licensee’s request. In the event the Licensor is unable for any reason to grant the other Party such a sublicense, including without limitation restrictions on sublicensing or disapproval by the third party licensor, the Licensor shall use reasonable efforts to assist the other Party, at the other Party’s sole cost, to acquire a non-exclusive license to use the third-party materials from the third party owner of such rights.

2.4 Quality Control. A high standard of quality for each Licensor’s Marks and the products and services shall be maintained. The Parties acknowledge and agree that maintaining the goodwill associated with each Licensor’s Marks is of substantial importance to Licensor. Licensee therefore agrees that the products and services advertised by it using Licensor’s Marks shall meet or exceed the standard of quality agreed to hereunder with respect to the products and services and those adhered to by Licensee in the conduct of its own business under its Marks. Upon request, all software and printed or electronically transmitted material in which Licensor’s Marks are used shall be submitted in writing for review by Licensor in advance and shall not be distributed or used in any manner without prior written approval of Licensor or its authorized representative, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Licensor may withhold its consent to the use of its Marks in a particular context in its sole discretion, with the exception that once consent is given for a type of use (e.g., use of the Marks in a specific radio commercial, in a print advertisement or on a web page), consent is not required for each use of the Mark in that specific context. All written requests for such consent shall be deemed approved if not rejected in writing within ten (10) days of receipt. However, if the use of Licensor’s Mark in connection with the products and services subsequently fails to meet applicable quality standards, Licensor may immediately cancel any such prior authorization. Licensor reserves the right to inspect and review, at any reasonable time and with reasonable notice, the use of its Marks by Licensee in order to confirm that the nature and quality of the products and services associated with the Marks and the use of its Marks by Licensee conform to Licensor’s standards.

2.5 Notices; Right of First Refusal. Whenever Licensee is permitted to copy or reproduce all or any part of the Licensed Technology, Licensee shall reproduce and not efface any and all titles, trademark symbols, copyright symbols and legends, and other proprietary markings on the Licensed Technology. In the event a Party agrees to provide the Other Party’s Services to a third party, the other Party has a right of first refusal entitling it to be the provider of such services upon commercially reasonable terms and conditions agreed to between the Parties.

2.6 Delivery; Access. Licensor shall deliver one or more copies of the Licensed Technology, in electronic or other mutually agreed media promptly after the Effective Date. After the Effective Date, and during the Term, subject to Section 2.2, the Licensor will provide to Licensee any newly created or acquired Licensed Technology on a monthly basis, or promptly following any reasonable request by Licensee therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that delivery of such Licensed Technology is impracticable, Licensor shall instead provide Licensee with access to such Licensed Technology during the Term. Upon delivery or provision of access, such Licensed Technology shall be licensed, and hereby is licensed to the Licensee pursuant to the terms of Section 2.1. Subject to restrictions imposed by applicable law (including without limitation, applicable privacy and data protection laws), promptly after the Effective Date and during the Term, subject to Section 2.2, each Party will provide the other Party with access to all or any portions of the PayEase Database under such Party’s control.

2.7 No Implied Rights. Only the licenses granted pursuant to the express terms of this Agreement shall be of any legal force or effect. No other license rights shall be granted or created by implication, estoppel or otherwise.

2.8 Further Assurances. The Parties shall execute and deliver all such documents and perform all further acts and things as may be reasonably required to implement, set of record, or give effect to this Agreement and the rights and licenses contemplated thereby. In the event that either Party fails to execute and deliver any such documents and instruments reasonably necessary to effectuate, evidence or record the other Party’s rights, then within thirty (30) days after written request, the other Party is authorized and appointed attorney-in-fact to make, execute and deliver such documents and instruments, which power is coupled with an interest and irrevocable.

3.5 Patent Matters.

(a) Prosecution. As between the Parties hereto, PayEase shall control the prosecution, maintenance and enforcement of any PayEase Database patents, at PayEase’s expense; provided that PayEase shall keep LA reasonably informed with respect thereto and consider in good faith LA’s input with respect to such matters. For purposes of the foregoing, “prosecution, maintenance and enforcement” includes, with respect to a patent, the preparing, filing, prosecuting and maintenance of such patent, as well as re-examinations, reissues, requests for patent term extensions and the like with respect to such patent, together with the conduct of interferences, enforcement actions, the defense of oppositions and declaratory judgment actions and other similar proceedings with respect to the particular patent.

INDEMNIFICATION

7.1 Indemnification. Each Party (an “Indemnifying Party”) agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the other Party (an “Indemnified Party”) and its corporate Affiliates, and each of their respective directors, officers, shareholders, employees and agents, from and against any and all liabilities, claims, demands, expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys and professional fees and other costs of litigation), losses or causes of action (each, a “Liability”) arising out of or relating to third-party claims to the extent based upon (i) the Indemnified Party’s Licensed Technology or the exercise of any right granted to the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Agreement, or (ii) any breach or alleged breach of any representation or warranty set forth in this Agreement by the Indemnifying Party.

7.2 Process of Indemnification. The Indemnified Party will give prompt notice within ten (10) business days to the Indemnifying Party of any Liability with respect to which the Indemnified Party seeks indemnification (“Claim”). The Indemnifying Party shall assume, at its sole cost and expense, the defense of such Liability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure by Indemnified Party to provide notice of any Claim within the period specified, or any delay in providing such notice, shall not affect or impair the obligations of the Indemnifying Party hereunder, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has been adversely affected by such failure or delay.

The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, exercisable by written notice to the Indemnified Party within ten (10) business days after receipt of written notice from the Indemnified Party of the commencement or assertion of any such Claim, at its own expense to participate in or assume control of the defense of the Claim, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Party, with the right to reimbursement for actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party as a result of any such request by the Indemnifying Party for the Indemnified Party’s cooperation.

In no event shall the Indemnifying Party be liable or otherwise have any obligation with respect to any settlement, compromise or determination of any Claim agreed to by the Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent will not be withheld unreasonably). The Indemnifying Party shall not, without consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), effect any settlement or discharge or consent to the entry of any judgment, unless such settlement or judgment includes as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnified Party of a general release from all liability in respect of such Liability and imposes no restrictions or obligations on the Indemnified Party.

9.6 Waiver; Partial Invalidity. In the event either Party shall at any time waive any of its rights under this Agreement or waive the performance by the other Party of any of its obligations hereunder, such waiver shall not be construed as a continuing waiver of the same rights or obligations or a waiver of any other rights or obligations.
