the patents and patent applications set forth in Schedule A hereto (the “Patents”);
the trademark and service xxxx registrations and applications set forth in Schedule B hereto (provided that no security interest shall be granted in United States intent-to-use trademark applications to the extent that, and solely during the period in which, the grant of a security interest therein would impair the validity or enforceability of such intent-to-use trademark applications, or any trademark registrations issuing therefrom, under applicable federal law), together with the goodwill symbolized thereby (the “Trademarks”);
all copyrights, whether registered or unregistered, now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, including, without limitation, the copyright registrations and applications and exclusive copyright licenses set forth in Schedule C hereto (the “Copyrights”);
