Royalty-bearing licenses will be available to anyone who prefers that option. “Subject Patents/Applications” means Patents AU 2004267661, CA 2530720, CN 200480019374.2, DE 602004007668.6, EP 1656628, FR 1656628, GB 1656628, HK 1085030, NL 1656628 and Published Patent Applications US 20030182269 and US 20050044355. |
