1.2(b) United States and foreign patents issued from the applications listed in Appendix A and from divisionals, continuations, renewals, extensions, term restorations and re-examinations of these applications;
2. In ARTICLE I – DEFINITIONS strike Section 1.7 in its entirety and substitute the following:
