Now take this a step further. We KNOW that some of our licensees have included a statement in the flow-down sales contracts to the effect that they are not covered by the seller's license to use the MMP, and that they should contact TPL to secure their own license. Same scenario, potentially, as in my prior post. This "understanding" was a condition of the sale. The intent was made known and agreed (assuming this language was in the sales contract - even if in the "fine print"). Sales contract voided? Global contracting nightmare?
If there's anything to my thoughts on this, I would think the Supreme Court would be witty enough to take it into consideration. Their decision could not only open a can of worms, but a literal ocean of worms. Hopefully they are still close enough to the "real world" to recognize this.
JMHO, and I KNOW nuttin'!
