His notes are as I heard. But, as I stated in my prior post, I believe the Q continues to license on an “all-you-can-eat smorgasbord” basis.

That's not what I get out of thinkclear's post.

To continue with the smorgasbord analogy, my understanding of what thinkclear wrote is that a licensee gets access to all the patents in existence at the time the license gets signed. New patents are not part of the menu. This makes sense because Q would obviously not wish prior licensees to have access to recently developed technology under licenses that were negotiated before the patents for the new technology are issued.

Flarion seems to fit within this framework. Now that Q owns all of Flarion's patents, it would seem that no manufacturers would have access to them unless, of course, they have negotiated separately for them or paid an extra fee to include them.
