(d) Publication. All proposed publications pertaining to the Parties’ activities related to the Atreca Antibodies will be subject to the other Party’s right to review the publication to identify and request removal of any Confidential Information and request delay for patent filing purposes. The Party proposing to publish any such publication (“Publishing Party“) will provide the other Party (“Reviewing Party“) with a copy of any such publication at least [***] days prior to submission for publication. The Reviewing Party will review the proposed publication and notify the Publishing Party (where email is sufficient) if it determines that such publication (a) contains any of its Confidential Information or (b) contains any information regarding an invention for which the Reviewing Party desires to seek patent protection. In the event of (a), the Publishing Party will promptly remove any such Confidential Information prior to publication. In the event of (b), the Publishing Party will delay publication for [***] days (or such shorter period if agreed by the Reviewing Party) to permit the filing of patent applications by the Reviewing Party. All publications will be made under “open access” terms and conditions consistent with the Foundation’s Open Access Policy, currently available at https://www.gatesfoundation.org/How-We-Work/General-Information/Open-Access-Policy, which may be modified from time to time. The Gates MRI recognizes that Atreca has invested significant time under Foundation funded work streams to generate the Atreca Antibodies. The Gates MRI will make a good faith effort to include all interested Atreca authors in any publications pursued by the Gates MRI related to work with the Atreca Antibodies under the Existing Agreements.
