> Company-A has a patent reading on Branch M forked from Project X but does not contribute the code of Branch M under Apache License.
> Company-B contributes code later to Project X under Apache License which falls in the scope of A's patent on Branch M.
> If Company-A sues Company-B for its contribution infringing upon the patent, would it triggers the second sentence of Article 3 of Apache License 2.0? i.e. any patent licenses granted to Company A under Apache License 2.0 for that Work (Project X shall be deemed as the Work, as I understood, is it correct?) terminate as of the date such litigation is filed."
