if there are companies out there that grant IP licenses that are renewable. Perhaps we granted renewable licenses based on our fiscal year. IOW, there are only 5 months left in our fiscal year if you start in January. Therefore they would have paid 5/12's of an annual license to be renwed June 1 of every, with contingencies to be met in order for them to be required to renew (USPTO success?).
Someone see if Rambus et al might offer a license such as this.
