You completely missed my point here, the only protection is the barrier to entry, I do not believe this would be an overwhelmingly difficult app to develop/copy/improve upon so the IP is then only worth the time to develop and the potential revenue lost from not having it during this development.

Hypothetically if no more deals are signed and NOR hits dire straits this may hit a point where NOR would be willing to accept an offer that satisfies the conditions above for Oracle (or whoever else would consider it a worthy addition), but I can tell you with great confidence the price someone would be willing to pay for the IP in this situation (remembering that it is not in high demand in this scenario) rather than develop in house would be far less than NOR would have spent on development, salaries, marketing etc. during the time in which this has been considered their main IP and selling point moving forward.

In this case I don't believe you or any other holder would be satisfied with the return on the IP therefore I would not consider it insurance of anything IMO
