7. LICENSE AND PROTECTION OF PROPRIETARY RIGHTS. During the
<br />term of this Subscriber Amendment, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Court hereby
<br />grants to Subscriber a nonexclusive, nontransferable, limited license to use Court Data Services
<br />Programs and Court Data Services Databases to access or receive the Authorized Court Data
<br />Services identified in an approved request form under section 3, above, and related Court Records.
<br />Court reserves the right to make modifications to the Authorized Court Data Services, Court Data
<br />Services Programs, and Court Data Services Databases, and related materials without notice to
<br />Subscriber. These modifications shall be treated in all respects as their previous counterparts.
<br />a. Court Data Services Programs. Court is the copyright owner and licensor
<br />of the Court Data Services Programs. The combination of ideas, procedures, processes,
<br />systems, logic, coherence and methods of operation embodied within the Court Data
<br />Services Programs, and all information contained in documentation pertaining to the Court
<br />Data Services Programs, including but not limited to manuals, user documentation, and
<br />passwords, are trade secret information of Court and its licensors.
<br />b. Court Data Services Databases. Court is the copyright owner and licensor
<br />of the Court Data Services Databases and of all copyrightable aspects and components
<br />thereof. All specifications and information pertaining to the Court Data Services Databases
<br />and their structure, sequence and organization, including without limitation data schemas
<br />such as the Court XML Schema, are trade secret information of Court and its licensors.
<br />C. Marks. Subscriber shall neither have nor claim any right, title, or interest in
<br />or use of any trademark used in connection with Authorized Court Data Services, including
<br />but not limited to the marks "MNCIS" and "Odyssey."
<br />d. Restrictions on Duplication, Disclosure, and Use. Trade secret information
<br />of Court and its licensors will be treated by Subscriber in the same manner as Court
<br />Confidential Information. In addition, Subscriber will not copy any part of the Court Data
<br />Services Programs or Court Data Services Databases, or reverse engineer or otherwise
<br />attempt to discern the source code of the Court Data Services Programs or Court Data
<br />Services Databases, or use any trademark of Court or its licensors, in any way or for any
<br />purpose not specifically and expressly authorized by this Subscriber Amendment. As used
<br />herein, "trade secret information of Court and its licensors" means any information
<br />possessed by Court which derives independent economic value from not being generally
<br />known to, and not being readily ascertainable by proper means by, other persons who can
<br />obtain economic value from its disclosure or use. "Trade secret information of Court and its
<br />licensors" does not, however, include information which was known to Subscriber prior to
<br />Subscriber's receipt thereof, either directly or indirectly, from Court or its licensors,
<br />information which is independently developed by Subscriber without reference to or use of
<br />information received from Court or its licensors, or information which would not qualify as
<br />a trade secret under Minnesota law. It will not be a violation of this section 7, sub -section d,
<br />for Subscriber to make up to one copy of training materials and configuration
<br />documentation, if any, for each individual authorized to access, use, or configure Authorized
<br />Court Data Services, solely for its own use in connection with this Subscriber Amendment.
<br />Subscriber will take all steps reasonably necessary to protect the copyright, trade secret, and
<br />trademark rights of Court and its licensors and Subscriber will advise its bona fide personnel
<br />who are permitted access to any of the Court Data Services Programs and Court Data
<br />Services Databases, and trade secret information of Court and its licensors, of the
<br />restrictions upon duplication, disclosure and use contained in this Subscriber Amendment.
