Sisvel offers a royalty-bearing, non-transferable, non-assignable, non-exclusive license, with no right to grant sublicenses, under patents essential to the DVB-SIS standard (adopted by ETSI as formally specified in the ETSI document TS 103 615).
The DVB-SIS Portfolio License Agreement offered by Sisvel covers any DVB-SIS Functionality implemented in a ready-to-use DVB-SIS Transmitter or Receiver sold to a final user.
The field of use under the DVB-SIS Listed Patents relating to broadcasting of TV video signals as such and the related services are excluded from the scope of the rights granted to Sisvel by the patent owners.
The DVB-SIS Portfolio License Agreement does not cover:
- functionality that is not DVB-SIS; or
- components or subcomponents of ready-to-use devices, such as integrated circuit chips, that may include a DVB-SIS transmitting or receiving functionality.
The DVB-SIS Portfolio license has a non-refundable entrance fee of € 1.000,00 and the royalty rates shall be based on the number of Transmitting Functionalities and Receiving Functionalities of Licensed Products as follows:
| Functionality | Royalty Rate for Functionality |
|---|---|
| DVB-SIS Transmitting Functionality | € 200.00 |
| DVB-SIS Receiving Functionality | € 20.00 |
- € 200.00 for each and every DVB-SIS Transmitting Functionality, i.e. E stream a DVB-SIS Transmitter is able to generate at sale or afterwards via a hardware and/or software application or upgrade.
- € 20.00 for each and every DVB-SIS Receiving Functionality, i.e. L stream a DVB-SIS Receiver is able to receive at sale or afterwards via a hardware and/or software application or upgrade.
Royalty statements and payments for royalties accrued during each calendar quarter are due within one month after the end of that quarter.
