2. Instrument granting sole and exclusive license to manufacture, sell, and use devices made according to patents and providing for prosecution of infringers, not having been properly acknowledged or recorded as assignment under 35 USCA 47, held to constitute merely a license ceasing according to its terms on licensee's ceasing to do business.
