Actually people aren't being sent 'contracts' .. they're being sent 'proposals' .. It's not a contract til both parties agree to it and sign it..
The rest is an ultimatum.. kinda like.. sign it or else..
Further.. if I'm not mistaken, if this proposal has a primary basis, ie., rights to use a patented process.. then anything not directly related to that basis can be removed.
Providing information on other individuals has nothing to do with these rights..
Paying these people even if the patent is invalidated has nothing to do with these rights.. because in this case, these rights no longer pertain.
But don't take my word for it..
