Sisvel offers a royalty-bearing, non-transferable, non-assignable, non-exclusive license, with no right to grant sublicenses, under patents essential to the DVB-T2 standard (adopted by ETSI as formally specified in the ETSI document EN 302 755).
The DVB-T2 Portfolio License Agreement offered by Sisvel covers complete or substantially complete DVB-T2 products including or performing a DVB-T2 decoding functionality and primarily designed for consumer use.
The DVB-T2 Portfolio License Agreement does not cover:
- functionality that is not DVB-T2 (including, for example DVB-T functionality); or
- components or subcomponents of ready-to-use devices, such as integrated circuit chips, that may include DVB-T2 decoding functionality.
The DVB-T2 Portfolio license has a non-refundable entrance fee of 10.000,00 Euros and the royalty rates are as follows:
| Volume of Licensed Products per calendar year | Standard Rate per Unit |
|---|---|
| 0 to 2,000,000 | €1.00 |
| 2,000,001 to 4,000,000 | €0.90 |
| 4,000,001 and above | €0.80 |
However provided that the licensee is in full compliance with its obligations under the Agreement, then the royalty rate payable in respect of each licensed product shall be calculated under the Compliant Rate.
| Volume of Licensed Products per calendar year | Compliant Rate per Unit |
|---|---|
| 0 to 2,000,000 | €0.75 |
| 2,000,001 to 4,000,000 | €0.67 |
| 4,000,001 and above | €0.60 |
Royalty statements and payments for royalties accrued during each calendar quarter are due within one month after the end of that quarter.
