New Licensing Prices for DVD-Software and DVD-PC Manufacturers

One-Red, LLC,
the licensing company for the joint DVD patent licensing program, has
announced the formation of a new patent licensing program for
DVD-software manufacturers and DVD-PC manufactures.

This new licensing program is available since October 15, 2012.

One-Red was established in 2011 by Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V.,
Pioneer Corporation and Sony Corporation and is authorized to offer
patent licenses on behalf of Philips and Sony for CD products and on
behalf of LG Electronics, Inc. , Philips, Pioneer and Sony for DVD
products to interested third parties.

On July 1, 2012 One-Red launched a DVD licensing program for DVD Discs
and DVD Players. This announcement extends One-Red’s DVD licensing
program to DVD-software manufacturers and DVD-PC manufactures.

Under the terms of the new program, One-Red will offer two separate
agreements. The DVD- software license agreement will apply to
DVD-software and the DVD-PC license agreement will apply to
pre-installed DVD-software in PCs.

The program will therefore also have
two different royalty rates which are as follows:

DVD Software Manufactures

• DVD Playback Software – Standard rate: ($0.85); Compliant Rate: ($0.55)
• DVD Combi Software – Standard rate: ($1.35); Compliant Rate: ($0.90)
• DVD Recorder Software – Standard rate: ($1.95); Compliant Rate: ($1.30)

DVD PC Manufacturers

• PC with pre-installed DVD software and no DVD Drive – Standard rate: ($0.595); Compliant Rate: ($0.390)
• PC with pre-installed DVD software and DVD Playback Drive – Standard rate: ($0.595); Compliant Rate: ($0.390)
• PC with pre-installed DVD software and DVD Combi Drive – Standard rate: ($0.945); Compliant Rate: (0.630)
• PC with pre-installed DVD software and DVD Recorder Drive – Standard rate: ($1.365); Compliant Rate: ($0.910)

"One-Red is extending licenses to DVD-software manufacturers and
DVD-PC manufacturers due to market demand and to give those
manufacturers the assurance that their products are not infringing on
patent rights administered by One-Red," stated One-Red CEO Susumu Aoyagi. "With
these new licensing agreements, One-Red’s intention is to support the
creation of a level playing field across the industry and to meet the
industry’s need for patent coverage of DVD technologies."
