Dear Xx. Xxxxxxxxx:
Thank you for your interest in MPEG LA's MPEG-4 Visual Patent Portfolio License.
We are pleased to offer this License as a convenience to MPEG-4 users in providing fair, reasonable, nondiscriminatory one-stop access to essential MPEG-4 Visual patents owned by 20 different patent owners. Enclosed is the information packet you requested. It contains an execution copy of the MPEG-4 Visual Patent Portfolio License, together with some explanatory information (information also may be found at xxx.xxxxxx.xxx, then go to "MPEG-4 Visual").
Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx (xxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxx.xxx) or I will be glad to answer your questions and walk you through the License execution process, but I want to take this opportunity to point out four features that should simplify your review:
- •
- The
License covers MPEG-4 Visual products from January 1, 2000 forward, but for Licensees that sign the License by
[***], no royalties will be payable on products sold through
[***].
- •
- The License provides sublicenses to fit different business models (Section 2 and Attachment A). The sublicenses are organized into five categories so each Licensee can focus on those that apply to its business(es):
(1) MPEG-4
Visual Consumer Recorded Video (Sections 2.1-2.2)
(2) MPEG-4 Visual Internet Video (Sections 2.3-2.5)
(3) MPEG-4 Visual Mobile Video (Sections 2.6-2.8)
(4) MPEG-4 Visual Unique Use Video (Sections 2.9-2.11)
(5) MPEG-4 Visual Stored Video (Sections 2.12-2.13)
An Enterprise License covering Sections 2.1 - 2.12 (but not 2.13) is provided in Section 2.14
***CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED
- •
- Royalties
corresponding to the Section 2 sublicenses are provided in Section 3.1 and Attachment B (the numbering of the royalty provisions in
Section 3.1 corresponds with the numbering of the sublicenses in Section 2).
- •
- We understand that you may need the benefit of additional business or market information developed over the next several months before you will be able to make the royalty payment elections in Section 3.1 (also Attachment B). Therefore, since royalties will not be payable on products until [***] (for those who sign up early), you may sign the License now but take until [***] to make the election of royalty payment options (Section 3.3). Then, when you are ready to make these elections, you may simply complete Attachment B and send it to us at that time.
We at MPEG LA hope the MPEG-4 Visual Patent Portfolio License will help you meet your marketplace objectives.
Best regards,
/s/ Xxxxxxxx X. Xxxx

Vice President, Licensing
