Assignors, as members of QR, have stipulated an agreement (hereafter the “Agreement”) of sale of their quotas in which they furthermore undertook to transfer the title to the abovementioned patent to QR;
-  
QR, although obtaining title to the said patent, needs the services of Assignors to implement, maintain, and also exploit DTC as much as possible, and thus also on the basis of the aforementioned agreement of sale of QR’s quotas.
