The contribution of each party, if that is the case, shall be noticed in all publications or presentation as acknowledgement or co–authorship, as the case may be. For purposes of clarification, the Head Licensor and AstraZeneca shall retain any rights to make presentations and scientific publications related to the Exploitation of the Licensed Product, provided that they do not reveal any Confidential Information of Licensees without their prior approval, and provided that the contribution of each party, as the case may be, shall be noticed in all publications or presentation by acknowledgement or by co–authorship, as may be appropriate.
