Law/Patents - Law: Contract(s) / License Agreement | | English term or phrase: at all and/or as little | The Entities reserve the right to use (or not use) the Materials ***at all and/or as little**** of the Materials as they so choose.
Hello,
Could someone please clarify the meaning of this phrase? I know "at all" has a negative meaning (in the slightest degree) but I cannot fully grasp the meaning of the phrase.
Thanks! |
