Pursuant to the Joint Development Agreement, among other things, each party granted to the other a fully paid up, non-exclusive, royalty-free, non -transferable and non-sublicensable license under its background intellectual property to (i) develop the joint development product for commercialization and use and (ii) use or manufacture, as the case may be, the joint development product to perform its obligations under the Joint Development Agreement. Additionally, the Company agreed to reimburse Wistron (either through a mark-up on the cost of goods or through a payment for the costs incurred) for all of its costs and expenses under the Joint Development Agreement, and the Company shall own all developed intellectual property so long as the reimbursement obligations have been met.
