Beginning July 1, 2012, One-Red LLC will become the
authorized entity to administer a new joint DVD Disc and
DVD Player license program on behalf of its licensors,
which include Koninklijke Philips, Sony, Pioneer and LG
Electronics.
One-Red delivers a new DVD license for all essential
patents of LG, Philips, Pioneer and Sony that are related
to DVD Video and ROM and CD-Audio and ROM technologies.
The new One-Red DVD program offers a "per-batch license,"
which means that shipments of products, rather than
manufacturers, are licensed. This allows licensees to
better track shipments of their products and prevents
improperly licensed products from entering the marketplace.
One-Red is also offering a program with lower royalty rates
than similar or existing programs for the use of these
patents and will offer a limited-time early-bird discount
to encourage current and potential licensees to participate
in the new One-Red joint DVD program.
The new program for DVD Discs covers essential patents of
DVD Video and ROM technologies while the program for DVD
players also includes essential patents related to Compact
Disc Audio and ROM technologies. A list of DVD Prerecorded
Disc patents may be found at
http://www.one-red.com/license-program/jointdvddisc.html
and DVD Player patents may be found at
http://www.one-red.com/license-program/jointdvdplayer.html.
The new joint DVD licenses are being offered on reasonable
and non-discriminatory terms and conditions. Each patent
owner whose patents are included in the new One-Red joint
DVD license program are also willing to make available
separate licenses under these same patents ("Company Only
Licenses").
Brand manufacturers and brand owners that enter into the
new DVD patent licensing agreements with One-Red will
benefit from the following royalty rates:
- DVD Video Player (USD)
o Standard $3.60
o Compliant $2.80
- DVD-ROM Player (USD)
o Standard $2.91
o Compliant $2.24
- DVD Discs (USD)
o Standard $.04
o Compliant $.03 |
