Release of Obligations.

A general disclosure in the public domain, or possession by Licensee of general information, will not cause more specific (but related) information to be excluded as Confidential Information under one of the above exceptions; similarly, a combination of several pieces of information, where each piece of information individually is in the public domain or in the possession of Licensee, will not operate to exempt the combination as Confidential Information unless the combination itself is in the public domain.
