For purposes of this Agreement, the terms joint ownership and co-ownership are used interchangeably to mean joint ownership by Nuance and MedQuist.

To the extent necessary in connection with the foregoing, Nuance shall cause its applicable Affiliates to grant similar rights to MedQuist as set forth in this Section with respect to any Marks used by Nuance but held in the name of any such Affiliates. MedQuist will not use Nuance’s trade names or abbreviations (with the exception of a logo or mark or graphic design Nuance provides which indicates MedQuist is an authorized value-added reseller of Nuance) in MedQuist’s corporate title or name, or in any manner that may result in confusion as to separate and distinct identities of Nuance and MedQuist. MedQuist agrees that it has no right, title, or interest in or to the Marks except the limited right of use set forth in this Agreement. MedQuist will not use any Mark in any way except as Nuance may authorize. MedQuist will submit to Nuance representative samples of all labels, advertising, promotional and marketing materials, and other items that use or bear any Mark for Nuance’s approval prior to publication or distribution. MedQuist will use the Marks only in the forms Nuance designate, will not alter or modify any Mark, and will include an appropriate trademark notice^® or TM with each use of any Mark. On expiration or termination of this Agreement, the license granted

     17.6 Any advertising, publicity, release or other disclosure of information concerning this Agreement should be released only after receiving a prior written approval by both parties except as required by law.

     17.7 Neither Party, unless approved by both Parties in writing, is allowed to link, combine or otherwise use the co-owned Products with any open source software, if such linkage, combination or use would create a risk, or have the “viral” effect, of requiring the disclosure or licensure of the co-owned Products as open source under the GNU General Public License or under the terms of any other comparable viral open source license. In the event an action is performed resulting in the co-owned Products being licensed under the GNU General Public License or under the terms of any other comparable viral open source license without approval by both Parties, the Party causing this action shall indemnify the other Party against and hold the other Party harmless from any and all damages and/or costs arising from or in connection with any breach of the provisions of this Section 17.7 and shall reimburse any and all costs and expenses incurred by the other Party in defending any claim, demand, suit or proceeding arising from or in connection with such breach.

Each party hereby agrees that it will use such confidential information solely for the purposes of this Agreement and that it will not disclose, whether directly or indirectly, to any third party such information other than as required to carry out the purposes of this Agreement. In the event of and prior to such disclosure, the disclosing party will obtain from such third parties duly binding agreements to maintain in confidence the information to be disclosed to the same extent at least as such party is so bound hereunder. The foregoing provision will not prevent the disclosure or use by a party of any information which is or hereafter, through no fault of such party, becomes public knowledge or to the extent permitted by law, provided that each party has a reasonable opportunity to prevent or limit such disclosure.
