"8. Sublicense
LICENSEE shall not sublicense or transfer in any way, any right, duty or
obligation under this agreement or the subject matter of this agreement unless
expressly set forth herein."
That's the language we're looking for. This is the INTENT of this agreement.
However, I'm only looking at this particular document as an "example". This is because, as I posted yesterday, my recollection is that the ShBoom, Ignite and Inflame do not utilize the patents in what is now known as the MMP. (Remember the Shaw debackle, and the discussion of how they couldn't/didn't use the MMP patents in the development of these processors?).
Substantiating this to a degree is this:
"(iv) there are no pending proceedings, mediation, arbitration, or
litigation before any court, tribunal, government office, or equivalent
authority anywhere in the world or any other adverse written claims or, to
the actual knowledge of PTSC, no such proceedings, litigation or adverse
claims have been threatened in writing, by any person or legal entity that
are related to the Licensed Technology and/or Licensed Microprocessor;"
They could not, IMO, claim this at that time while there were disputes over patent ownership over the MMP.
I suspect there is another part of this agreement with AMD that addresses the MMP separately.
JMHO,
