Microsoft Patents means all Patents that, at any time during the Term, are owned or otherwise licensable by Microsoft or its Subsidiaries. If an entity ceases to be a Microsoft Subsidiary during the Term, Patents owned or licensable by such entity when it was a Subsidiary shall remain Microsoft Patents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Microsoft Patents shall include Sublicensable Third Party Patents only to the extent set forth in Section 2.11.

Microsoft Patents means the claims directed specifically to the Technical Field contained in any and all patents, issued or issuing on patent applications entitled to an effective filing date prior to June 20, 1999, under which patents or the applications therefor Microsoft has the right to grant licenses to Stac, including any and all reissues, reexaminations, divisional, continuation and continuation in part applications (including inventor's certificates and utility models and similar forms of legal protection of any country).
