Jack has a patent on butt scratching and sues Jill.
Jill points out that Jack picks his nose, for which she has a patent,
and she'll sue if he continues his lawsuit.
Jack offers to license Jill to scratch her butt, provided she licenses
him to pick his nose. This is called a patent cross-licensing agreement.
Jack and Jill now have a cosy little cartel from which to stomp anyone
who doesn't have their own patents to use as bargaining chips.
