TV & Set-Top Boxes

B. A license for individual technology clusters only. This limited patent license incorporates a technology-by-product royalty calculation based on the specific technology/function(s) applied in the product. Each technology/function has a corresponding royalty rate (see table below). The total royalty for each product is the sum of the royalties for the technologies as used in the country of manufacture or sale. This license may require discussion with your Philips contact for each new or revised product. As an example, you find the template patent license agreement for the HDCP 2 technology through the link below.
The Standard Rates for specific technologies/functions in a limited patent license are listed in the table below.

C. Separate licenses for Standard Essential Patents (SEP), and non-SEP are available on request.

Each license option defines a Standard Rate and a Compliance Rate. The Compliance Rate is only applicable in case of timely payment of royalties each calendar quarter and full compliance with the terms of the underlying license agreement, otherwise the Standard Rate will apply.

Royalties for licenses under the TV/STB program are in Euro and the rates can differ per territory. As a licensee you will have to report quarterly the volume of the licensed products sold. The royalty due is the volume multiplied by the applicable royalty per unit.

All royalty rates on this website are offered as group rates for a plurality of patents. The royalty rate for any individual patent in a portfolio or cluster would not receive the benefit of the group rate. Accordingly, group rates are not appropriate for the basis of apportioning a value to any individual patent in a portfolio or cluster. The offered rates are provided without the need of litigation and have not been determined based on the conditions of a “Hypothetical Negotiation.”
