`after closing, do you see that?
` A. Yes.
` Q. What does enforcement mean there?
` A. I assume it means the common
`definition of enforcement in the context of
`patents, that you are going to assert
`patents, or you know, if somebody is
`infringing your patents, you're going to
`pursue the rights under the patents.
` Q. So does enforcement mean
`litigation here?
` A. I mean, that's not a synonym for
`litigation, but it could lead to litigation,
`sure.
` Q. So it's broader than just
`litigation?
` A. I think so.
` Q. What else does it cover?
` A. Licensing and you know, and other
`things. The common term for enforcement in
`the context of patent law, it's -- yeah.

`specifically contemplating litigation at
`this time with respect to the Cox patent
`portfolio?
` A. Not that I am aware of, no.
` Q. Do you know if the parties
`negotiated this waiver of conflicts
`provision at all?
` A. Negotiated?
` Q. Yes.
` A. I don't know.
` Q. Do you know if the parties during
`these negotiations discussed the potential
`infringement of the Cox patent portfolio?
` A. I'm not sure.
` Q. Do you know if the parties
`discussed the potential validity or
`invalidity of any patents in the Cox
`portfolio during their negotiations?
` A. Well, they discussed prior art,
`so in that context I assume that they did,
`but the answer to the question is I don't
`know. I really don't know.
