53deemed to grant any rights to trademarks, copyrights, patents, trade
54secrets or any other intellectual property of Licensor except as

64or distribution of the Original Work or Derivative Works in any way
65such that the Original Work or Derivative Works may be accessed or

125courts of the jurisdiction wherein the Licensor resides or in which
126Licensor conducts its primary business, and under the laws of that
127jurisdiction excluding its conflict-of-law provisions. The application
128of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International
