Understood (and think you for taking the time to clarify), but I again submit that including an admission of infringement in the licensing agreement (contract) would be pretty useless, as the contract will never be disclosed, and the individuals involved in executing the final contract will be likely bound by an NDA.

It is interesting that your inquiries revealed that existence of prior licensees can be submitted as evidence in a patent dispute - in court. That bodes well for us, as that evidence hits the ears of the jurors. That bit of evidence, while not conclusive, would be most easily understood by even the least tech-savvy juror (and Intel, AMD, HP, et al, are AMERICAN companies that settled - I really like the Texas venue!).

Thank for the thought provoking discussion. And thank you most for making those inquiries and sharing that tid-bit above!
