9.4 The User shall use the Confidential Information only for the implementation of this Licensing Agreement and shall derive no rights of any kind, in particular no rights of prior use, from the fact that it as a result of the Confidential Information may possibly obtain knowledge of patentable inventions for which OSPT Alliance may possibly apply for intellectual property rights.
