the claims it rests on
“We own a very strong portfolio of issued and pending patents related to cellular and other technologies”
“It is critical that we continue to evolve our patent portfolio, particularly in 5G and next-generation technologies”
“If we do not maintain a strong portfolio that is applicable to current and future standards, products and services, our future licensing revenues could be negatively impacted”
“we generally have made contractual commitments to such organizations to license those of our patents that would necessarily be infringed by standard-compliant products as set forth in those commitments (referred to as standard-essential patents)”
what it was checked against
OEM royalty obligations and disputes
“Efforts by some OEMs to avoid paying fair and reasonable royalties for the use of our intellectual property may require the investment of substantial management time and financial resources and may result in legal decisions or actions by governments, courts, regulators or agencies, Standards Development Organizations (SDOs) or other industry organizations that harm our business.”
