COMPLAINT

Pursuant to Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act, 15 U.S.C. § 45 ("FTC Act"), and by virtue of the authority vested in it by said Act, the Federal Trade Commission, having reason to believe that Respondent Google Inc. ("Google" or "Respondent") has engaged in conduct that violates the provisions of said Act, and it appearing to the Commission that a proceeding by it in respect thereof would be in the public interest, hereby issues this Complaint stating its charges in that respect as follows:

Nature of the Case

Through this action, the Commission challenges a course of conduct, whereby Google, and its predecessor in interest, Motorola Mobility, Inc. ("Motorola"), engaged in unfair methods of competition and unfair acts or practices by breaching its commitments to standard-setting organizations ("SSOs") to license its standard essential patents ("SEPs") on fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory ("FRAND") terms. Google violated its FRAND commitments by seeking to enjoin and exclude willing licensees of its FRAND- encumbered SEPs.

2.	Manufacturers ensure compatibility for consumer electronic devices by agreeing on standards based on shared technologies that incorporate patents. These standards encourage adoption of a common platform among rival producers, which in turn fosters

competition among these producers and spurs entry of complementary products. Holders of SEPs typically agree to license their patents royalty-free or on FRAND terms before the technology becomes part of the standard. When participants breach their FRAND commitments by engaging in patent hold-up and threatening to keep products out of the market, consumers and the competitive process will likely be harmed.

Google's conduct will harm consumers by either excluding products from the market entirely as a result of an injunction, or by leading to higher prices because manufacturers using Google's SEPs would be forced, by the threat of an injunction, to pay higher royalty rates which would be passed on to consumers. This conduct will deter innovation by increasing the costs of manufacturing to a standard and undermining the integrity and value of the standard-setting process.

4.	Left unchecked, such conduct may in the future cause or threaten to cause substantial injury to competition and to consumers.

Respondents

5.	Respondent Motorola Mobility LLC (formerly Motorola Mobility Inc.), is a limited liability company with its principal place of business at 600 North U.S. Highway 45, Libertyville, IL 60048, and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Respondent Google Inc.

6.	Respondent Google is a Delaware corporation with its principal office or place of business at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043.

Google is a global technology company. Among other things, Google owns and promotes the Android operating system for use in mobile devices such as cellular phones and tablet computers. Google also develops and sells, often through its subsidiary Motorola, mobile phones, tablet computers, and devices providing home internet access. Google owns an extensive patent portfolio, including patents that cover technologies used in wireless cellular voice and data transmission standards, standards for Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN), and video compression standards.

Google actively participates in numerous SSOs, including the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers ("IEEE"), the European Telecommunications Standards Institute ("ETSI"), and the International Telecommunications Union ("ITU"). Collectively, this Complaint refers to these SSOs as the Relevant SSOs.

9.	At all times relevant herein, Google has been, and is now, a corporation as "corporation" is defined in Section 4 of the FTC Act, 15 U.S.C. § 44, and at all times relevant herein, Google has been, and is now, engaged in commerce as "commerce" is defined in the same provision.

Technology Standards Enhance Competition and Consumer Welfare

10.	Firms in the information technology and telecommunications industries frequently ensure interoperability of their products through voluntary standard setting conducted through

SSOs. Interoperability standards can benefit consumers by increasing competition, innovation, product quality and choice.

11.

The Relevant SSOs publish technology standards that include cellular wireless communication standards such as GSM, EDGE, CDMA, UMTS, EV-DO and LTE (published by ETSI); the 802.11 WLAN standards (published by IEEE); and the H.264 video compression standards (published by ITU Telecommunications Standardization Sector). These are collectively referred to as the "Relevant Technology Standards" throughout this Complaint.

12.	Manufacturers seeking to market mobile phones, tablet computers, and "smart" devices providing internet access such as gaming systems, laptops, and set-top boxes, must typically comply with one or more of the Relevant Technology Standards.

Patent Hold-Up Undermines Standard Setting

13.

Inclusion of a patented technology into a standard can confer substantial market power on the holder of that patent. Prior to adoption of a standard, alternative technologies often compete to be included in the standard. Once a standard is adopted, implementers begin to make investments tied to the implementation of the standard. Because all of these participants may face substantial switching costs in abandoning initial designs and substituting a different technology, an entire industry may become "locked in" to a standard, giving a SEP owner the ability to demand and obtain royalty payments based not on the market value of its patents over alternative technologies, but on the costs and delays of switching away from the standardized technology.

14.

The increase in the value of the patent based on the switching costs after it becomes a SEP is known as its "hold-up" value. The owner of a SEP may have the power to engage in hold-up by extracting higher royalties or other licensing terms that reflect the absence of competitive alternatives. Consumers of the products using the standard would be harmed if those higher royalties were passed on in the form of higher prices. The threat of hold-up also tends to reduce the value of standard setting, leading firms to rely less on the standard-setting process and depriving consumers of the substantial procompetitive benefits of standard setting.

FRAND Commitments Mitigate the Risk of Hold-Up

15.

Requiring FRAND commitments is an important mechanism for SSOs and SSO participants to mitigate the risk of patent hold-up. A SEP-holder that makes a voluntary FRAND commitment promises to license its SEPs on fair and non-discriminatory terms to anyone willing to accept a license, i.e., a "willing licensee," and thus relinquishes its right to exclude a willing licensee from using technologies covered by its SEPs to implement a standard.

16.	An implementer of a SEP is a willing licensee when it manifests its willingness to accept terms that are determined to be FRAND, either because such terms have been voluntarily negotiated or have been determined to be FRAND by a court or other neutral third party.

17.

The Relevant SSOs generally take into account whether patents are subject to a FRAND commitment when determining which technology to incorporate into a standard, and require a patentee to disclose whether it commits to licensing its patents on FRAND terms. If a patentee refuses to make a FRAND commitment for a patent at the time the Relevant SSOs are deciding which technologies to include in a standard, the Relevant SSOs will generally not include the technology subject to that patent.

The Threat of Injunctive Relief Undermines the FRAND Commitment,

Reinstating the Risk of Patent Hold-Up

18.	After a FRAND commitment is made, the patentee and the implementer typically will negotiate a royalty and other license terms or, in the event they are unable to agree, may seek determination of reasonable terms by a judge or other neutral arbiter.

19.

A licensing negotiation that occurs under threat of an injunction or exclusion order, however, is weighted toward the patentee in a fashion inconsistent with the FRAND commitment. In the presence of an injunctive threat, the negotiation between a patentee and the implementer is linked to the implementer's potential lost revenues from the sales of the enjoined products, rather than to the market value of the patent as compared to alternatives. This change in the stakes raises the maximum royalty rate the potential licensee is willing to pay, tending to push that rate upwards and out of the FRAND range.

Relevant Markets

20.	The relevant product market consists of the technology covered by any Google-owned SEP and all substitutes for that technology.

21.	The inclusion of MMI's technology and the subsequent adoption of the Relevant Technology Standard by the industry eliminated viable technology alternatives for implementers and conferred monopoly power which otherwise would not have existed.

Motorola and Google Made Irrevocable FRAND Commitments

22.

Motorola has been a longstanding member of the Relevant SSOs and irrevocably committed to license on FRAND terms all of its SEPs incorporated in the Relevant Technology Standards. These FRAND commitments enabled the incorporation of Motorola's patented technology into the Relevant Technology Standards.

23.	In reliance on Motorola's FRAND commitments, implementers invested billions of dollars in designing and manufacturing products compliant with the Relevant Technology Standards.

24.	Upon acquiring Motorola, Google assumed the FRAND commitments made by Motorola and affirmed its obligation to abide by Motorola's FRAND commitments.

Google Violated its FRAND Commitments by Seeking to Enjoin

and Exclude Willing Licensees

25.

Motorola breached its FRAND obligations by seeking to enjoin and exclude implementers of its SEPs, including some of its competitors, from marketing products compliant with some or all of the Relevant Technology Standards. Google continued Motorola's exclusionary campaign after acquiring Motorola. Google used these threats of exclusion orders and injunctions to enhance its bargaining leverage against willing licensees and demand licensing terms that tended to exceed the FRAND range. At all times relevant to this Complaint, these implementers were willing licensees of Google's FRAND-encumbered SEPs.

26.

Motorola filed, and Google prosecuted, patent infringement claims before the United States International Trade Commission ("ITC"). The only remedy for patent infringement at the ITC is an exclusion order, and filing before the ITC on a FRAND- encumbered SEP therefore significantly raises the risk of patent hold-up.

27.

Motorola also filed for, and Google prosecuted, claims for injunctive relief related to its FRAND-encumbered SEPs in federal district court in parallel with its ITC filings. See Complaint, Motorola Mobility, Inc. v. Apple, Inc., No. 1:10-cv-6385, slip op. at 10 (E.D. Ill. Oct. 6, 2010); Complaint for Patent Infringement, Motorola Mobility, Inc. v. Microsoft Corp.,
No. 10-cv-699, slip op. at 8 (W.D. Wis. Nov. 10, 2010); Complaint for Patent Infringement, Motorola Mobility, Inc. v. Microsoft Corp., No. 10-cv-700, slip op. at 12 (W.D. Wis. Nov. 10, 2010); Complaint for Patent Infringement, Motorola Mobility, Inc. v. Microsoft Corp., No. 1:10-cv-24063, slip op. at 14 (S.D. Fla. Nov. 10, 2010).

The Likely Anticompetitive Effects of Google's Conduct

Outweigh any Potential Benefits

28.	The likely anticompetitive effects of Google's breach of its FRAND commitments include:

Depriving end consumers of competing products that comply with the Relevant Technology Standards, including mobile phones, tablet computers, and "smart" devices providing internet access such as gaming systems, laptops, and set-top boxes;

Increasing costs to produce consumer devices that comply with the Relevant Technology Standards, which manufacturers will likely pass through to consumers;

Undermining the integrity and efficiency of the standard-setting process and decreasing the incentives to participate in the process and adopt published standards; and

Raising the costs of Google's competitors and thereby dampening competition between Google and makers of competing products, including, but not limited to, mobile phone operating systems, mobile phones, video compression technologies, and devices providing home internet access.

29.	There is no legitimate efficiency justification sufficient to outweigh the harm to competition and consumers threatened by Google's conduct.

Substantial Consumer Injury

30.	If Google's practices are allowed to continue, many consumer electronics manufacturers will agree to pay unreasonable royalties simply to avoid an injunction or exclusion order. Manufacturers will likely pass on some portion of these costs to end consumers.

Violations Alleged

31.	Google's conduct constitutes an unfair method of competition in violation of Section 5 of the FTC Act. This conduct, or the effects thereof, will continue or recur in the absence of appropriate relief.

32.	Google's conduct is likely to cause substantial injury to consumers which is not reasonably avoidable by consumers themselves and is not outweighed by countervailing benefits to consumers or competition, and constitutes unfair acts or practices in violation of Section 5 of the FTC Act.

WHEREFORE, THE PREMISES CONSIDERED, the Federal Trade Commission on this day of , 2013, issues its Complaint against Respondent Motorola Mobility LLC and Respondent Google Inc.

By the Commission.

SSOs include but are not limited to, the European Telecommunications Standards Institute ("ETSI"), the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers ("IEEE"), and the International Telecommunications Union ("ITU").

BB.	"Third Party" means any individual, corporation, partnership, joint venture, association, unincorporated organization, or other business entity other than Respondents.

II.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that:

A.	Respondents shall not revoke or rescind any FRAND Commitment unless:

all Standards for which such FRAND Commitment was made have been rejected or withdrawn; or

Respondents no longer have any interest in FRAND Patents covered by such FRAND Commitment; or

all FRAND Patents covered by such FRAND Commitment have expired or been determined to be unenforceable by a Final Ruling of a Court;

PROVIDED THAT nothing in this Order shall (i) restrict Respondents' exercise of an otherwise lawful right to suspend or terminate a license or covenant pursuant to its terms; (ii) require Respondents to give a FRAND Commitment with respect to any Standard or proposed Standard; or (iii) restrict Respondents' right to withdraw or modify a FRAND Commitment if such withdrawal or modification is expressly permitted by the SSO to which the FRAND Commitment was made.

B.	Respondents shall cease and desist from directly or indirectly making any future claims for Covered Injunctive Relief based on alleged Infringement of a FRAND Patent except as permitted under this Order.

Respondents shall not obtain or enforce Covered Injunctive Relief based on a claim of alleged Infringement of a FRAND Patent that is pending on the date this Order is issued, unless and until Respondents have made Qualified Offers to the Potential Licensee against whom the Covered Injunctive Relief is sought. The foregoing means that it shall be a violation of this Order if Covered Injunctive Relief based on a claim of alleged Infringement of a FRAND Patent is enforced before Respondents make the Qualified Offers and the time periods specified in Paragraph IV.B. of this Order have lapsed.

Respondents are prohibited from obtaining or enforcing Covered Injunctive Relief (i) during the pendency of a Request for a FRAND Determination that was filed before the date this Order was accepted for public comment, (ii) during the pendency of a Qualified Request for a FRAND Determination that complies with Paragraph IV.C. of this Order, or (iii) after a Potential Licensee accepts Respondents' Offer to Arbitrate.

E.	Nothing in this Order shall prohibit Respondents from seeking Covered Injunctive Relief for alleged Infringement of a FRAND Patent against a Potential Licensee who:

is outside the jurisdiction of the United States District Courts; a Potential Licensee shall be considered within the jurisdiction of the United States District Courts if the Potential Licensee itself or any parent or other entity with control over such Potential Licensee is within the jurisdiction of the United States District Courts;

has stated in writing or in sworn testimony that it will not license the FRAND Patent on any terms; PROVIDED THAT for the purposes of this paragraph, challenging the validity, value, Infringement or Essentiality of an alleged infringing FRAND Patent does not constitute a statement that a Potential Licensee will not license such FRAND Patent;

refuses to enter a License Agreement covering the FRAND Patent on terms that have been set in the Final Ruling of a Court or through Binding Arbitration; or

fails to provide the written confirmation as requested in a FRAND Terms Letter delivered to a Qualified Recipient of the Potential Licensee within thirty (30) days of receiving the FRAND Terms Letter; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Respondents shall not assert in any Court that such written confirmation constitutes a specific agreement to license on any particular terms.

III.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Respondents and the Potential Licensee may agree to enter into the procedure outlined in this Paragraph III, or any other mutually agreed to procedure that specifically references this Paragraph III, as the exclusive means for determining the terms of a License Agreement covering Respondents' patents that are Essential to the Covered Standards, and if either party seeks Reciprocity, the Potential Licensee's patents that are Essential to the Covered Standards to the extent not already licensed (hereinafter the "Relevant License Agreement"):

A.	Respondents and Potential Licensee agree to negotiate, for a period of at least six (6) months, to determine the terms of a Relevant License Agreement;

B.	At any time after six months, at the option of Respondents or within sixty (60) days of the request of Potential Licensee, Respondents shall send the Potential Licensee a proposed Relevant License Agreement, which if executed will form a binding license agreement;

C.	Within sixty (60) days after Respondents deliver the Relevant License Agreement to the Potential Licensee, the Potential Licensee shall either:

execute the Relevant License Agreement, or

designate all terms of the Relevant License Agreement that the Potential Licensee contends are inconsistent with Respondents' FRAND Commitments ("Contested Terms"), accept all other terms ("Accepted Terms"), for each Contested Term propose an alternative that the Potential Licensee contends is consistent with the FRAND Commitments of Respondents and, if applicable, of the Potential Licensee ("Relevant FRAND Commitments"), and elect to have the Contested Terms resolved through a Request for a FRAND Determination or Binding Arbitration, the purpose of which shall be to determine whether the Contested Terms are consistent with the Relevant FRAND Commitments and, to set the appropriate requirements for terms found inconsistent with the Relevant FRAND Commitments;

It is intended that the Request for a FRAND Determination or Binding Arbitration shall establish the Contested Terms, and that these terms, together with the Accepted Terms, shall constitute a binding Relevant License Agreement, which if executed will form a binding license agreement. Except to the extent inconsistent with the preceding sentence, nothing herein shall restrict the ability of any party from presenting evidence or making arguments in Binding Arbitration or in the Request for a FRAND Determination, including without limitation arguments by Respondents that the District Court hearing the Request for a FRAND Determination cannot or should not hear the action on jurisdictional or justiciability grounds or because an alternative forum would be more

appropriate, or arguments regarding validity, Essentiality, Infringement or the value of the patents included in the Relevant License Agreement;

If the Potential Licensee elects to resolve the Contested Terms through a Qualified Request for a FRAND Determination, and the United States District Court in which such Request was filed determines on its own motion or on Respondents' motion that it cannot issue a ruling on the Contested Terms, then the Respondents and the Potential Licensee shall resolve the Contested Terms through Binding Arbitration, which may be filed by either Respondents or Potential Licensee within sixty (60) days after the dismissal of the Qualified Request for a FRAND Determination.

F.	It shall be a violation of this Order for Respondents to file a claim seeking, or otherwise obtain or enforce, Covered Injunctive Relief in a manner that violates the terms of any agreement entered into with a Potential Licensee pursuant to this Paragraph III.

IV.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that in Respondents' activities in or affecting commerce as "commerce" is defined in the Federal Trade Commission Act, in connection with the licensing of Respondents' FRAND Patents, Respondents shall not file a claim seeking, or otherwise obtain or enforce, Covered Injunctive Relief based on the alleged Infringement of a FRAND Patent against any Potential Licensee who has not entered into an agreement pursuant to Paragraph III above:

A.	If filing a claim for, or otherwise obtaining or enforcing, the Covered Injunctive Relief violates the terms of any written agreement with the Potential Licensee.

B.	Until after Respondents have taken the following actions:

At least six (6) months prior to pursuing Covered Injunctive Relief, Respondents shall deliver to a Qualified Recipient of the Potential Licensee a copy of this Order and an Offer to License (to the extent not already licensed) the FRAND Patent and Respondents' other FRAND Patents Essential to the same Standard or Standards (the "Covered Standards"). Respondents may condition the Offer to License on Reciprocity, but may not require the Potential Licensee to license any Patent Claim not Essential to a Standard practiced by the Potential Licensee, or to license any other patents or intellectual property (any offered terms and conditions that are for additional patents or intellectual property shall not be considered part of the Offer to License);

At least sixty (60) days prior to pursuing Covered Injunctive Relief, Respondents shall deliver to a Qualified Recipient of the Potential Licensee an Offer to Arbitrate the terms of a License Agreement to the Respondents' FRAND Patents Essential to the Covered Standards, and, if seeking Reciprocity, to the Potential Licensee's FRAND Patents Essential to the Covered Standards. If the Potential Licensee accepts Respondents' Offer to Arbitrate, Respondents shall file for Binding Arbitration on the

following terms and conditions, or on such other terms and conditions as may be mutually agreed to by the parties:

When the Potential Licensee accepts Respondents' Offer to Arbitrate, the Potential Licensee shall state whether it demands Reciprocity;

When Respondents file for arbitration they shall deliver to a Qualified Recipient of the Potential Licensee a proposed License Agreement for the Respondents' FRAND Patents Essential to the Covered Standards, and, if either party is seeking Reciprocity, to the Potential Licensee's FRAND Patents essential to the Covered Standards, in each case to the extent not already licensed;

At or prior to the commencement of arbitration, the Respondents and the Potential Licensee shall file with the Arbitrator a binding and irrevocable undertaking that each shall enter a License Agreement on terms and conditions established by the arbitrator and pay all royalties established under the agreement as if the License Agreement had been effected as of the date arbitration was commenced;

Within sixty (60) days of the commencement of arbitration, the Potential Licensee shall designate all terms of the License Agreement that it contends are inconsistent with Respondents' FRAND Commitments, propose additional or alternative terms the Potential Licensee believes are necessary for the License Agreement to comply with the FRAND Commitments of Respondents, and if applicable the Potential Licensee's FRAND Commitments, and agree to inclusion of all other terms in the final License Agreement;

The arbitrator shall determine whether the terms contested by the Potential Licensee are consistent with the FRAND Commitments of Respondents, and if applicable, the Potential Licensee. The arbitrator shall revise any terms that it finds are not consistent with the relevant FRAND Commitments;

The arbitrator shall set the terms of the final License Agreement; and

Within thirty (30) days after the arbitrator sets the terms of a final License Agreement, the parties shall enter into and execute a License Agreement.

If the Potential Licensee has filed a Qualified Request for a FRAND Determination covering Respondents' FRAND Patents Essential to the Covered Standards no more than seven (7) months after Respondents delivered the Offer to License or three (3) months after Respondents delivered the Offer to Arbitrate, whichever is later, and such Action has not been dismissed upon a Final Ruling; PROVIDED THAT not less than thirty (30) days after the Potential Licensee files the Qualified Request for a FRAND Determination, Respondents may send a proposed License Agreement and a Confirmation Letter (attached as Exhibit A) to a Qualified Recipient of the Potential Licensee. If the Potential Licensee does not deliver written acceptance of the terms in the Confirmation Letter to

the Qualified Recipient of Respondents within sixty (60) days of receipt of the Confirmation Letter, Respondents shall be relieved of their obligations not to file a claim for, or seek or enforce, Covered Injunctive Relief

D.	The Offer to License and an Offer to Arbitrate shall be irrevocable for the following periods:

An Offer to License shall be irrevocable until the date of delivery of an Offer to Arbitrate.

An Offer to Arbitrate shall be irrevocable until thirty (30) days after Respondents file an Action for Covered Injunctive Relief; PROVIDED HOWEVER, that with respect to Actions containing requests for Covered Injunctive Relief that are pending on the date this Order is issued, the Offer to Arbitrate shall be irrevocable until two (2) months after Respondents deliver an Offer to Arbitrate or, if there is a pending Request for a FRAND Determination covering the same FRAND Patent that is the basis of the request for Covered Injunctive Relief, until there is a Final Ruling on the Request for a FRAND Determination.

E.	Notwithstanding any other provision of this Order, nothing herein shall:

prevent or restrict the Potential Licensee and Respondents from negotiating, arbitrating or entering into any License Agreement involving FRAND Patents on any terms or in any manner that is mutually agreed to by the Potential Licensee and Respondents;

prevent or restrict Respondents from enforcing any License Agreement entered into prior to the effective date of this Order;

as to a Potential Licensee, apply to Respondents' FRAND Patents to the extent already licensed to such Potential Licensee;

prevent or restrict Respondents from pursuing relief, claims or defenses other than Covered Injunctive Relief, including damages for infringement and potential enhancements for willful infringement;

restrict any party from arguing in any Request for a FRAND Determination that the District Court cannot or should not hear this action on jurisdictional or justiciability grounds or that an alternative forum would be more appropriate; or

restrict any party from making arguments in any Request for a FRAND Determination or in Binding Arbitration regarding the validity, Essentiality, Infringement or value of the patents at issue in such proceeding.

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Order, Respondents shall be permitted to file a claim seeking, or otherwise obtain and enforce, Covered Injunctive Relief against a Potential Licensee, if the Potential Licensee is seeking or has sought on or after the date of this Order, Covered Injunctive Relief against a product (including software), device or

service that is made, marketed, distributed or sold by Respondents based on Infringement of the Potential Licensee's FRAND Patent unless prior to seeking the Covered Injunctive Relief, the Potential Licensee does one of the following:

makes Qualified Offers to the party whose infringement forms the basis for the claim of Covered Injunctive Relief ("the alleged infringer") and the alleged infringer has refused both offers; OR

obtains a Final Ruling on a Request for a FRAND Determination to which the alleged infringer was a party that sets at least the royalty terms for a license to the Standard for which the allegedly infringed FRAND Patents are Essential.

G.	The fact that the final terms determined through Binding Arbitration or a Request for a FRAND Determination may differ from the terms Respondents proposed in an Offer to Arbitrate or an Offer to License shall not, by itself, constitute a violation of this Order.

Respondents shall, within sixty (60) days of receiving a written request by any Potential Licensee for a license to Respondents' FRAND Patents Essential to one or more Standards, provide the Potential Licensee with an Offer to License such FRAND Patents. In making such offer, Respondents shall act in good faith and in conformity with their FRAND Commitments.

Respondents shall not sell or assign any FRAND Patent to any Third Party unless such Third Party agrees: (i) to become a successor to Respondents' FRAND Commitments to the extent the FRAND Patent is subject to such FRAND Commitments, (ii) not to seek Covered Injunctive Relief on the basis of Infringement of the FRAND Patent except to the extent Respondents would be permitted to seek such Covered Injunctive Relief by the terms of this Order, and (iii) to condition further assignment of the FRAND Patent on the assignee agreeing to the terms of this subparagraph V.B.

VI.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that:

Within thirty (30) days after this Order has been issued, Respondents shall submit to the Commission a verified written report setting forth in detail the manner and form in which it intends to comply, is complying, and has complied with this Order. Respondents shall include in its report, a full description of the efforts being made to comply with the relevant Paragraphs of this Order, including the status of each Action that contained a request for Covered Injunctive Relief as of the date Respondents signed the Agreement Containing Consent Order, a description of all pending requests for Covered Injunctive Relief and how such claims comply with the requirements of this Order, and a description of each sale or assignment of a FRAND Patent and an assurance that such sale or assignment complies with Paragraph V.B. of this Order.

Exhibit C

Section 15 (Definitions)

ETSI Rules of Procedure, 30 November 2011

Page 34

ETSI Rules of Procedure, 30 November 2011

Annex 6: ETSI Intellectual Property Rights Policy

1	Introduction

The General Assembly of ETSI has established the following Intellectual Property Rights POLICY.

2	Definitions

Terms in the POLICY which are written in capital letters shall have the meaning set forth in Clause 15 entitled DEFINITIONS.

3	Policy Objectives

3.1

It is ETSI's objective to create STANDARDS and TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS that are based on solutions which best meet the technical objectives of the European telecommunications sector, as defined by the General Assembly. In order to further this objective the ETSI IPR POLICY seeks to reduce the risk to ETSI, MEMBERS, and others applying ETSI STANDARDS and TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS, that investment in the preparation, adoption and application of STANDARDS could be wasted as a result of an ESSENTIAL IPR for a STANDARD or TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION being unavailable. In achieving this objective, the ETSI IPR POLICY seeks a balance between the needs of standardization for public use in the field of telecommunications and the rights of the owners of IPRs.

3.2	IPR holders whether members of ETSI and their AFFILIATES or third parties, should be adequately and fairly rewarded for the use of their IPRs in the implementation of STANDARDS and TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS.

3.3

ETSI shall take reasonable measures to ensure, as far as possible, that its activities which relate to the preparation, adoption and application of STANDARDS and TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS, enable STANDARDS and TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS to be available to potential users in accordance with the general principles of standardization.

4	Disclosure of IPRs

4.1

Subject to Clause 4.2 below, each MEMBER shall use its reasonable endeavours, in particular during the development of a STANDARD or TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION where it participates, to inform ETSI of ESSENTIAL IPRs in a timely fashion. In particular, a MEMBER submitting a technical proposal for a STANDARD or TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION shall, on a bona fide basis, draw the attention of ETSI to any of that MEMBER's IPR which might be ESSENTIAL if that proposal is adopted.

4.2	The obligations pursuant to Clause 4.1 above do however not imply any obligation on MEMBERS to conduct IPR searches.

4.3

The obligations pursuant to Clause 4.1 above are deemed to be fulfilled in respect of all existing and future members of a PATENT FAMILY if ETSI has been informed of a member of this PATENT FAMILY in a timely fashion. Information on other members of this PATENT FAMILY, if any, may be voluntarily provided.

5	Procedures for Committees

ETSI shall establish guidelines for the chairmen of COMMITTEES with respect to ESSENTIAL IPRs.

6	Availability of Licences

6.1	When an ESSENTIAL IPR relating to a particular STANDARD or TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION is brought to the attention of ETSI, the Director-General of ETSI shall immediately request the

Page 35

ETSI Rules of Procedure, 30 November 2011

owner to give within three months an irrevocable undertaking in writing that it is prepared to grant irrevocable licences on fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory terms and conditions under such IPR to at least the following extent:

•

MANUFACTURE, including the right to make or have made customized components and sub-systems to the licensee's own design for use in MANUFACTURE;

•

sell, lease, or otherwise dispose of EQUIPMENT so MANUFACTURED;

•

repair, use, or operate EQUIPMENT; and

•

use METHODS.

The above undertaking may be made subject to the condition that those who seek licences agree to reciprocate.

In the event a MEMBER assigns or transfers ownership of an ESSENTIAL IPR that it disclosed to ETSI, the MEMBER shall exercise reasonable efforts to notify the assignee or transferee of any undertaking it has made to ETSI pursuant to Clause 6 with regard to that ESSENTIAL IPR.

6.2

An undertaking pursuant to Clause 6.1 with regard to a specified member of a PATENT FAMILY shall apply to all existing and future ESSENTIAL IPRs of that PATENT FAMILY unless there is an explicit written exclusion of specified IPRs at the time the undertaking is made. The extent of any such exclusion shall be limited to those explicitly specified IPRs.

6.3

As long as the requested undertaking of the IPR owner is not granted, the COMMITTEE Chairmen should, if appropriate, in consultation with the ETSI Secretariat use their judgment as to whether or not the COMMITTEE should suspend work on the relevant parts of the STANDARD or TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION until the matter has been resolved and/or submit for approval any relevant STANDARD or TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION.

6.4

At the request of the European Commission and/or EFTA, initially for a specific STANDARD or TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION or a class of STANDARDS/TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS, ETSI shall arrange to have carried out in a competent and timely manner an investigation including an IPR search, with the objective of ascertaining whether IPRs exist or are likely to exist which may be or may become ESSENTIAL to a proposed STANDARD or TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS and the possible terms and conditions of licences for such IPRs. This shall be subject to the European Commission and/or EFTA meeting all reasonable expenses of such an investigation, in accordance with detailed arrangements to be worked out with the European Commission and/or EFTA prior to the investigation being undertaken.

6bis	Use of the IPR Licensing Declaration Forms

MEMBERS shall use one of the ETSI IPR Licensing Declaration forms at the Appendix to this ETSI IPR Policy to make their IPR licensing declarations.

7	Information on IPR by ETSI

7.1	Any published STANDARD or TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION shall include information pertaining to ESSENTIAL IPRs which are brought to the attention of ETSI prior to such publication.

7.2	ETSI shall establish appropriate procedures to allow access to information at any time with respect to ESSENTIAL IPRs which have been brought to the attention of ETSI.

8	Non-availability of Licences

8.1	Non-availability of licences prior to the publication of a STANDARD or a TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

Page 36

ETSI Rules of Procedure, 30 November 2011

8.1.1

Existence of a viable alternative technology

Where prior to the publication of a STANDARD or a TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION an IPR owner informs ETSI that it is not prepared to license an IPR in respect of a STANDARD or TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION in accordance with Clause 6.1 above, the General Assembly shall review the requirement for that STANDARD or TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION and satisfy itself that a viable alternative technology is available for the STANDARD or TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION which:

•

is not blocked by that IPR; and

•

satisfies ETSI's requirements.

8.1.2

Non-existence of a viable alternative technology

Where, in the opinion of the General Assembly, no such viable alternative technology exists, work on the STANDARD or TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION shall cease, and the Director-General of ETSI shall observe the following procedure:

If the IPR owner is a MEMBER,

the Director-General of ETSI shall request that MEMBER to reconsider its position.

ii)

If that MEMBER however decides not to withdraw its refusal to license the IPR, it shall then inform the Director-General of ETSI of its decision and provide a written explanation of its reasons for refusing to license that IPR, within three months of its receipt of the Director-General's request.

iii)

The Director-General of ETSI shall then send the MEMBER's explanation together with relevant extracts from the minutes of the General Assembly to the ETSI Counsellors for their consideration.

If the IPR owner is a third party,

the Director-General of ETSI shall, wherever appropriate, request full supporting details from any MEMBER who has complained that licences are not available in accordance with Clause 6.1 above and/or request appropriate MEMBERS to use their good offices to find a solution to the problem.

ii)

Where this does not lead to a solution the Director-General of ETSI shall write to the IPR owner concerned for an explanation and request ultimately that licences be granted according to Clause 6.1 above.

iii)

Where the IPR owner refuses the Director-General's request and decides not to withdraw its refusal to license the IPR or does not answer the letter within three months after the receipt of the Director-General's request, the Director-General shall then send the IPR owner's explanation, if any, together with relevant extracts from the minutes of the General Assembly to the ETSI Counsellors for their consideration.

8.1.3

Prior to any decision by the General Assembly, the COMMITTEE should in consultation with the ETSI Secretariat use their judgment as to whether or not the COMMITTEE should pursue development of the concerned parts of the STANDARD or a TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION based on the non-available technology and should look for alternative solutions.

Page 37

ETSI Rules of Procedure, 30 November 2011

8.2	Non-availability of licences after the publication of a STANDARD or a TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

Where, in respect of a published STANDARD or TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION, ETSI becomes aware that licences are not available from an IPR owner in accordance with Clause 6.1 above, that STANDARD or TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION shall be referred to the Director-General of ETSI for further consideration in accordance with the following procedure:

The Director-General shall request full supporting details from any MEMBER or third party who has complained that licences are not available in accordance with Clause 6.1 above.

ii)

The Director-General shall write to the IPR owner concerned for an explanation and request that licences be granted according to Clause 6.1 above. Where the concerned IPR owner is a MEMBER, it shall inform the Director-General of ETSI of its decision and provide a written explanation of its reasons in case of continuing refusal to license that IPR.

iii)

Where the IPR owner refuses the Director-General's request or does not answer the letter within three months, the Director-General shall inform the General Assembly and, if available, provide the General Assembly with the IPR owner's explanation for consideration. A vote shall be taken in the General Assembly on an individual weighted basis to immediately refer the STANDARD or TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION to the relevant COMMITTEE to modify it so that the IPR is no longer ESSENTIAL.

iv)

Where the vote in the General Assembly does not succeed, then the General Assembly shall, where appropriate, consult the ETSI Counsellors with a view to finding a solution to the problem. In parallel, the General Assembly may request appropriate MEMBERS to use their good offices to find a solution to the problem.

Where (iv) does not lead to a solution, then the General Assembly shall request the European Commission to see what further action may be appropriate, including non- recognition of the STANDARD or TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION in question.

In carrying out the foregoing procedure due account shall be taken of the interest of the enterprises that have invested in the implementation of the STANDARD or TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION in question.

9	ETSI ownership of IPRs

9.1	The ownership of the copyright in STANDARDS and TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS documentation and reports created by ETSI or any of its COMMITTEES shall vest in ETSI but due acknowledgement shall be given to copyrights owned by third parties that are identifiable in ETSI copyrighted works.

9.2	In general, in the absence of any exceptional circumstances, where SOFTWARE is included in any element of a STANDARD or TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION there shall be no requirement to use that SOFTWARE for any purpose in order for an implementation to conform to the STANDARD or TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION.

9.2.1

Without prejudice to Clause 9.1, any MEMBER contributing SOFTWARE for inclusion in a STANDARD or TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION hereby grants, without monetary compensation or any restriction other than as set out in this Clause 9.2.1, an irrevocable, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sub-licensable copyright licence to prepare derivative works of (including translations, adaptations, alterations) the contributed SOFTWARE and reproduce, display, distribute and execute the contributed SOFTWARE and derivative works for the following limited purposes:

Page 38

ETSI Rules of Procedure, 30 November 2011

to ETSI and MEMBERS to evaluate the SOFTWARE and any derivative works thereof for determining whether to support the inclusion of the SOFTWARE in that STANDARD or TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION;

to ETSI to publish the SOFTWARE in that STANDARD or TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION; and

The POLICY shall be governed by the laws of France. However, no MEMBER shall be obliged by the POLICY to commit a breach of the laws or regulations of its country or to act against supranational laws or regulations applicable to its country insofar as derogation by agreement between parties is not permitted by such laws.

Any right granted to, and any obligation imposed on, a MEMBER which derives from French law and which are not already contained in the national or supranational law applicable to that MEMBER is to be understood as being of solely a contractual nature.
