INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MATTERS

5.1 Inventions. Ownership of all Inventions shall follow inventorship as determined in accordance with U.S. patent laws. Each Party shall solely own all Inventions invented or developed solely by or on behalf of such Party, including its and its Affiliate’s employees, contractors and/or agents. The Parties shall jointly own all Inventions invented or developed jointly by both Parties. Except to the extent restricted by the licenses and other rights granted to other Party under this Agreement or any other agreement between the Parties, each Party, as joint owners, shall be entitled to practice, license, assign and otherwise exploit its interest in the jointly owned Inventions without the duty of accounting or seeking consent from the other Party.

5.2 Patent Prosecution.

(a) As between the Parties, Licensor shall have (i) the first right (but not the obligation) to file, prosecute and maintain all Licensed Patents, and (ii) the sole right (but not the obligation) to file, prosecute and maintain all other Licensed Patents, in each case of (i) and (ii), at Licensor’s own cost and expense. Licensor shall promptly notify Licensee if it no longer intends or is able to file, prosecute and maintain any Licensed Patent that claims only the Licensed Virus in any country, in which case, Licensee shall have the right (but not the obligation) to assume the prosecution and maintenance of the affected Licensed Patent in such country, at Licensee’s own cost and expense. If the Licensed Patent that Licensor no longer intends or is able to file, prosecute and maintain claims both the Licensed Virus and other subject matter, upon Licensee’s request and to the extent feasible and not negatively affect such Licensed Patent, Licensor shall file a divisional application that claims only the Licensed Virus and allow Licensee to assume the prosecution and maintenance of such divisional application at Licensee’s own cost and expense. Licensee’s assumption of the prosecution or maintenance of such Licensed Patent shall not require Licensor to assign any such Licensed Patent to Licensee, and shall not change the Parties’ respective rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to such Licensed Patent other than those expressly set forth in this Section 5.2(a).

(b) Licensor shall consult with Licensee and keep Licensee reasonably informed of the status of the Licensed Patents that specifically claim the Licensed Virus and shall promptly provide Licensee with all material correspondence received from any patent authority in the US or EU in connection therewith. In addition, Licensor shall promptly provide Licensee with drafts of all proposed material filings and correspondence to any patent authority in the US or EU with respect to such Licensed Patents for Licensee’s review and comment prior to the submission of such proposed filings and correspondences.

(c) Licensee shall provide Licensor all reasonable assistance and cooperation in the patent prosecution efforts under this Section 5.2, including providing any necessary powers of attorney and executing any other required documents or instruments for such prosecution.

5.3 Patent Enforcement.

(a) Licensee shall promptly notify Licensor if it becomes aware of any alleged or threatened infringement by a Third Party of any Licensed Patents that involves the development or commercialization of any oncolytic virus product in the Field in the Territory (the “Field Infringement”).

(b) As between the Parties, Licensor shall have (i) the first right (but not the obligation) to bring and control any legal action to enforce the Licensed Patents that claim only the Licensed Virus, and (ii) the sole right (but not the obligation) to bring and control any legal action to enforce other Licensed Patents, in each case of (i) and (ii) against any Field Infringement at its own expense and as it reasonably determines appropriate. Licensor shall notify Licensee if Licensor does not wish to bring legal action to enforce any Licensed Patent that claims only the Licensed Virus against Field Infringement, then, subject to Licensor’s prior written consent, Licensee shall have the right to bring and control legal action to enforce such Licensed Patent against such Field Infringement. If a Party brings such an enforcement action, then the other Party shall, at the request and expense of the enforcing Party, provide reasonable assistance in connection therewith, including by executing reasonably appropriate documents, cooperating in discovery and joining as a party to the action if required. If Licensor gives consent for Licensee to enforce any Licensed Patent, Licensee shall not admit invalidity or unenforceability of the Licensed Patent or the take any action that would adversely affect the Licensed Patent or other Patent Rights in the same patent family.

(c) Any recoveries resulting from enforcement action under Section 5.3(b) relating to a Field Infringement shall be first applied against payment of each Party’s cost and expense in connection therewith. Any such recoveries in excess of such cost and expense shall be shared by the Parties equally.

(d) If the Field Infringement involves the sale of an infringing oncolytic virus product in the Field in the Territory, and Licensor declines to bring an enforcement action against such Field Infringement and does not give consent for Licensee to bring enforcement action against such Field Infringement, then Licensee may reduce royalty payment to Licensor as provided in Section 4.5(c)(i).

Confidential

(e) Licensor shall have the exclusive right to bring and control any legal action to enforce the Licensed Patents against any infringement other than Field Infringement, at its own expense and as it reasonably determines appropriate, and shall have the right to retain all recoveries resulting therefrom.

5.4 Defense of Licensed Patents. In the event that a Party receives notice of any claim alleging the invalidity or unenforceability of any Licensed Patent, such Party shall bring such claim to the attention of the other Party, including all relevant information related to such claim. The Parties, through the JSC, shall discuss such claim. Where such allegation is made in an opposition, reexamination, interference or other patent office proceeding or a declaratory judgement action, then the provisions of Section 5.2 shall apply; provided however that if Licensor wishes to bring an infringement claim to enforce the Licensed Patent, then the provisions of Section 5.3 shall apply. Where such allegation is made in a counterclaim to an enforcement action brought under Section 5.3, then the provisions of Section 5.3 shall apply. Licensee shall provide to Licensor all reasonable assistance in connection with the defense of the Licensed Patents, at Licensor’s request and expense.

5.5 Defense of Third-Party Claims. If a claim is brought by a Third Party alleging infringement of a Patent Right of such Third Party by the development, manufacture or commercialization of the Product in the Field, the Party first having notice of the claim or assertion shall promptly notify the other Party, the Parties shall agree on and enter into an “common interest agreement” wherein the Parties agree to their shared, mutual interest in the outcome of such potential dispute, and thereafter, the Parties shall promptly meet to consider the claim or assertion and the appropriate course of action. Each Party shall be entitled to represent itself in any litigation to which it is a party, at its own expense, unless otherwise agreed upon by the Parties or as otherwise set forth in this Agreement. Licensor agrees that [***] of the costs incurred by Licensee in defending an infringement suit based on the use of the Licensed Virus, and any damages paid by Licensee in connection with such suit, shall be deducted from future royalty payment obligations under this Agreement in accordance with Section 4.5(c)(iii) (and subject to Section 4.5(c)(iv)).

5.6 Trademarks. Licensee shall have the right to brand the Product sold in the Field in the Territory using Licensee related trademarks and other trademarks and trade names that Licensee determines appropriate for the Product, provided that Licensee may not select any trademark or trade name that is confusingly similar to any trademark or trade name of Licensor. Upon Licensor’s request, Licensee shall include Licensor’s name and logo on the promotional materials and product package of the Product to indicate that the Product is licensed from Licensor.

Genelux Announces Exclusive Out-Licensing Agreement with ELIAS Animal Health for V- VET1, a Proprietary Oncolytic Vaccinia Virus Treatment for Pets with Various Cancers

• V-VET1, a clinical-stage animal health-specific product candidate, is a vaccinia viral strain which selectively replicates in cancer cells causing cell death (apoptosis)

• Terms of the agreement grant ELIAS the worldwide right to development and commercialization of V-VET1 for the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of cancer in veterinary medicine

WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif., Nov. 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Genelux Corporation, a clinical- stage immunotherapy company, today announced an exclusive worldwide licensing agreement for V-VET1, its clinical stage animal health product candidate, with ELIAS Animal Health, a biotechnology company advancing its novel T cell-based immunotherapies for the treatment of cancer in veterinary medicine. V-VET1 is a vaccinia viral strain which selectively replicates in cancer cells causing cell death (apoptosis).

ELIAS Animal Health plans future clinical trials to evaluate and develop V-VET1 as a potential new immunotherapy option for veterinary oncologists. Under the terms of the agreement, Genelux will receive an upfront payment, development and sales milestones, and royalties on product sales.

Genelux conducted a Phase 1 study in which V-VET1 was administered to canines with several different types of cancer, including mast cell tumors, osteosarcoma, soft tissue sarcoma, anal gland carcinoma and T-cell lymphoma. No maximum tolerated dose was reached in this dose- escalation trial and dogs tolerated their infusions well. Evidence of antitumor responses and of disease control were observed.

Cancer is the leading cause of death for dogs and the number one pet health concern for dog owners in the United States. In addition to surgery, currently available canine cancer treatment typically provides limited survival benefit. The National Cancer Institute’s Center for Cancer Research Comparative Oncology Program has reported that as many as six million pet dogs and six million pet cats are diagnosed with cancer annually in the United States.

“We are excited to be working with ELIAS Animal Health to advance V-VET1 for the treatment of dogs and other non-human animals with various cancers,” said Thomas Zindrick, J.D., President and CEO of Genelux. “Unfortunately, few veterinary-only drugs currently exist to treat companion animals with cancer. ELIAS is doing tremendous work to advance novel treatments for animal health, including cutting-edge adoptive T cell therapy combined with surgery and radiotherapy, and we are proud to partner with them.”

“We are thrilled to announce our exclusive license for V-VET1 to help veterinarians treat the many pets who are diagnosed with cancer every year,” said Tammie Wahaus, CEO of ELIAS
