essential for implementing technology set forth in draft-secure-credential-
transfer and/or draft-art-tigress ("Tigress Internet Drafts") (“Essential

Internet Drafts, provided that the party grants a reciprocal license to Apple and
provided that the license terminates if the party initiates a claim of patent
infringement, directly or indirectly, against Apple, its subsidiaries, or its
affiliates.
