Intellectual Property Rights

The buyer hereby acknowledges and acknowledges that all product-related patent rights (including inventions, utility models, designs), trademark rights, copyrights, proprietary technologies and all other intellectual property rights (hereinafter collectively referred to as "intellectual property rights") belong to the seller and Owned by its affiliates or other legal rights holders. The buyer shall not object to the ownership of such intellectual property rights in any way, nor shall it apply for or register any rights that conflict with such intellectual property rights. Except as expressly agreed in the sales contract, any provision of these General Terms and Conditions shall not be construed as the Seller transferring or licensing the relevant intellectual property rights to the Buyer. Without the written permission of the Seller, the Buyer has no right to apply or license any third party to use the intellectual property rights owned by the Seller and its affiliates.
The Seller has the right, at its sole discretion, to grant to the Buyer certain intellectual property rights related to the Products, but the above licenses are non-exclusive, non-exclusive, indivisible and non-transferable.


If the products provided by the Seller to the Buyer are or may be accused of infringing the intellectual property rights of any country in which the products are marketed, the Buyer shall immediately notify the Seller and the Seller will respond to the lawsuit on the Buyer's behalf. If the Product becomes, or may become, the subject of a claim, Buyer agrees to obtain, at Seller's expense, the right to continue using the Product for Buyer and its customers; or to replace or alter the Product so that it no longer infringes. In no event shall Seller be liable for incidental or consequential damages resulting from infringement or alleged infringement of patents, copyrights, or other intellectual property rights.
