10.6 Pieris will provide Allergan with copies of any documents received or prepared in connection with the Prosecution of the Pieris Patents which are material to Allergan’s rights hereunder and will inform Allergan of the progress of it. Before filing in connection with the Prosecution of the Pieris Patents any document with a patent office which is material to Allergan’s rights hereunder, Pieris will provide a copy of the document to Allergan sufficiently in advance of any deadline for filing it, and Pieris will give due consideration to any comments that Allergan may have. Pieris will moreover not unreasonably decline to file within the patent office of any country any claim or claim amendment (drafting a new application, if necessary) materially affecting Allergan’s rights under this Agreement that Allergan reasonably requests Pieris to file (provided that Allergan will reimburse to Pieris all reasonable external costs incurred by Pieris as a result of such request, to the extent that such costs are incurred for the purpose of filing or

prosecuting claims covering inventions within the Allergan Field or, in relation to Modified Compounds only, covering claims within and outside of the Allergan Field), and Pieris will use commercially reasonable efforts to prosecute such claims to issuance. Allergan’s request will be reasonable, and Pieris will have no reasonable grounds for declining it, if it relates to a Modified Compound, if it relates to the use (including, for example, the delivery) of a Compound in the Allergan Field, or if it relates to an application that Pieris has filed and there is support in the application for such claim (the foregoing is not an exhaustive list; there may be other requests that are reasonable), provided that the request complies with the terms of this Agreement (including Section 10.12). Any such claims will be regarded as Pieris Patents and be subject to the license granted to Allergan under Section 5 above. Pieris will not reasonably do or fail to do anything that will render any Pieris Patent unenforceable.

10.7 The Parties will confer regarding where to Prosecute the Pieris Patents, but, at a minimum and subject to Section 10.8, Pieris will Prosecute the Pieris Patents in [***]; Pieris will [***].

10.8 In the event that Pieris elects not to Prosecute in any country any Patent Right under the Pieris Patents, including an application containing a claim that Allergan reasonably requests Pieris to file under Section 10.6, Pieris will give Allergan at least [***] days notice before any relevant deadline and provide to Allergan all information reasonably relating to such Patent Right. Allergan will have the right, exercisable within [***] days of such notice, to take an assignment and to control the further Prosecution of such Patent Right, at Allergan’s expense, provided that Pieris will retain a royalty-free, milestone-free, irrevocable, non-exclusive license (with the right to sub-license) to such Patent Right in the Pieris Field.

10.9 The Parties will confer regarding the desirability of seeking in any country any supplemental patent protection (e.g., such as that afforded by a supplemental patent certificate) or patent term extension in connection with any Pieris Patent or any Pieris Claim. Pieris will, however, not be obliged to seek Allergan’s consent to apply or not to apply for any such extension or protection for any Pieris Patent and Allergan will not apply for any such extension or protection for any Pieris Patent without Pieris’ prior written consent. Allergan may, however, apply for any patent term extension or supplemental patent protection for any Pieris Claim without Pieris’s consent, and may request that Pieris apply for such extension or protection, in which case Pieris will do so, in return for which Allergan will reimburse to Pieris all reasonable external costs incurred by Pieris for the application.

10.10 Allergan may apply for any patent term extension or supplemental patent protection without Pieris’s consent for any Pieris Patent specifically relating to a Modified Compound or its manufacture or use [***], and may request that Pieris apply for such extension or protection, in which case Pieris will do so, in return for which Allergan will reimburse to Pieris all reasonable external costs incurred by Pieris for the application, so long as such application (whether by Allergan or Pieris) does not preclude Pieris from obtaining for a Pieris Patent a patent term extension or supplemental patent protection with respect to a) [***] and [***]; or b) any Anticalin, other than a Modified Compound, that Pieris, whether by itself or through a third party (such as, e.g., a licensee), is testing in a human clinical trial or is selling to the public.

10.11 Allergan will be responsible for Prosecuting, at its expense, Patent Rights claiming joint inventions. Allergan will provide Pieris with copies of any documents received or prepared in connection with the Prosecution of the Patent Rights claiming joint inventions and will inform Pieris of the progress of it. Before filing any document with a patent office in connection with the Prosecution of such Patent Rights, Allergan will provide a copy of the document to Pieris sufficiently in advance of any deadline for filing it, and Allergan will give due consideration to any comments that Pieris may have. The foregoing notwithstanding, Allergan will not reasonably do or fail to do anything that will render any such Patent Rights unenforceable.

10.12 Notwithstanding Section 10.11, Allergan will not be entitled to use any Data for the purposes of or in connection with any patent application which includes patent claims outside of the Allergan Field.

10.13 In the event that Allergan elects not to Prosecute in any country any Patent Rights claiming joint inventions, Allergan will give Pieris [***] days notice before any relevant deadline and provide to Pieris all information reasonably relating to Patent Rights. Pieris will have the right, exercisable within [***] days of such notice, to take an assignment and to control the further Prosecution of such Patent Right, at Pieris’ expense, provided that (i) Allergan will retain a royalty-free, milestone-free, irrevocable, non-exclusive license (with the right to sub-license) to such Patent Right in the Allergan Field and (ii) such Patent Right will be regarded as “Pieris Claim” for the purposes of Section 6.

10.14 Each Party will, and will cause its employees, agents, consultants and contractors to, execute such documents and take such other actions as reasonably necessary or appropriate to enable the other Party to document its ownership in, or Prosecute, Patent Rights in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.

Infringement by Third Parties

10.15 The Parties will promptly notify each other of any actual or threatened infringement of the Pieris Patents and of any Pieris Claims solely owned by Pieris or jointly owned by the Parties.

10.16 Allergan will have the exclusive right to bring and control, at its expense, any proceeding before any government or private tribunal (“Infringement Action”) to remedy the infringement of any Pieris Patent or Pieris Claim in the Allergan Field. Pieris will have the right, at its own expense and by counsel of its choice, to be represented in any such action. Allergan will be entitled to [***] of any recovery realized as a result of any such Infringement Action ([***]).

10.17 Pieris will have the exclusive right to bring and control, at its expense, any Infringement Action to remedy the infringement of any Pieris Patent or Pieris Claim in the Pieris Field. Allergan will have the right, at its own expense and by counsel of its choice, to be represented in any such action.
