3 Registration

User IDs

RPX may provide you with an individual user ID (each a “User ID”) for access to certain parts of the Service. A User ID may only be used by the individual to whom it is issued.

If you received a User ID with access to the Service, the following additional terms would apply to your use of that User ID:
• You may only use such User ID while you are employed by the company for which RPX authorized your access to the Service.

• As between you and the company with which you are employed, such company will have full control over your User ID, and RPX may, in its sole discretion or at the request of such company, at any time terminate your ability to access those aspects of the Service that can only be accessed through a User ID. If such company ceases to be a member of RPX or you cease to be employed by such company, we may terminate your ability to access those aspects of the Service that can only be accessed through a User ID.

• In limited circumstances, RPX may provide an attorney with a User ID with access to the Service when that attorney acts as outside legal counsel in patent-related matters for the company for which such User ID was authorized by RPX. If you are an attorney to whom such a User ID is issued, you may use the User ID, and any Content that you access through the User ID, solely for the benefit of such company and in the course of performing services for such company (and such use will be deemed “internal use” for purposes of Section 4 below), and such company will have full control over the User ID. RPX may, in its sole discretion or at the request of the company, at any time terminate your ability to access the Service. If the company ceases to be a member of RPX, or if you cease to act as outside legal counsel in patent-related matters for such company, RPX may terminate your ability to access the Service.

Account Security

Upon receiving your User ID, you will be required to select a password. Please choose a strong password and do not reveal your password to others. You agree that you are responsible for keeping your password confidential and secure, and further understand that you (together with your company if you are an individual who registers for a User ID for the Service) are solely responsible and liable for any activities that occur under your User ID. Each company will be responsible for all activity that occurs under each of its employee’s and attorney’s User IDs for the Service. If you suspect or become aware of any unauthorized use of any User ID, or if you become aware that any employee or attorney with an active User ID ceases to be employed or engaged by the company for which such User ID was authorized by RPX for the Service, please notify us at insight@rpxcorp.com.

If a valid counter-notification is received by our designated agent, we will send a copy of the counter-notification to the original complaining party informing that person that we will replace the removed material or cease disabling access to it in 10 business days. Unless our designated agent first receives notice from the original complaining party that such party has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the alleged infringement, we will replace or restore access to the material in 10 to 14 business days after our designated agent’s receipt of the counter-notification, at our sole discretion.
