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. Well, my interpretation of PJ's comments are the following.... - The licensee gets access to all of Q's patents at the time of the license AND for new patents for a certain set period of time. - The license has an expiration date that is unrelated to the expiration of particular patents. The licenses are then renegotiated and typically the same rate applies going forward. FWIW, the replay is now up. customer.talkpoint.com Slacker
