With the restriction that improvements shall specifically be defined as only those improvements which already come within the scope of one or more claims of the Patent Rights, end furthermore only those improvements which are directly useful for the making and use of Licensed Devices and Licensed Products which are the subject of this Agreement, if the Licensee has heretofore brought about or shall hereafter during the term of this Agreement bring about any improvements, including improvements brought about by Licensee’s vendors or subcontractors to which Licensee may become entitled, excepting improvements brought about by another licensee holding a Unique product systems licence, the Licensee shall promptly offer to disclose such improvements to the Licensor in confidence and if such improvements reasonably appear to be patentable Licensor shall file and prosecute patent applications thereon in Licensee’s name, the expense of which shall be borne by the Licensor, for the securing and maintaining of patent protection in such countries of the world as agreed between Licensor and Licensee and such application and any patents issuing thereon shall be included in the Patent Rights.
If either Licensor or Licensee, as a first party, shall inform the other party that it has decided not to file such patent application in any country or shall fail, within sixty (60) days after written inquiry by the other party on the patent status of an improvement, to file such patent applications as specified above or to prosecute such pending applications under the above provisions, the other party shall have the right to do so at its own expense and the said first party shall promptly assign to said other party its entire right, title and interest in and to such patent applications. Said first party, on the other party’s request, shall sign or cause to be executed all lawful documents and perform all lawful acts to effectuate fully such assignments to the other party.
