| 1. | Section 1.14 shall be deleted and replaced in its entirety with the following: |
“1.14 Pending Litigation – means any ongoing legal proceeding pending before a state or federal court, irrespective of when filed, involving any patent of the Assigned Patents, including, but not limited to, actions for patent infringement, actions for declaratory relief of patent non-infringement, invalidity or unenforceability, actions to collect or enforce judgments for patent infringement, appeals of reissue and reexamination proceedings decided by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”), and appeals of interference proceedings decided by the USPTO, where the parties to such legal proceeding have not exhausted all appealable issues to the highest possible court. For the purposes of clarity, Pending Litigation involves a third party, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Parties.”
