Submission is made in the course of Your work for an employer or Your employer has intellectual
property rights in Your Submission by contract or applicable law, You must secure permission from Your
employer to make the Submission before signing this Agreement. In that case, the term “You” in this
Agreement will refer to You and the employer collectively. If You change employers in the future and
desire to Submit additional Submissions for the new employer, then You agree to sign a new Agreement
and secure permission from the new employer before Submitting those Submissions.

any third party.

b. Patent License. You grant Sankar, and those who receive the Submission directly or
indirectly from Sankar, a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable license under
