One of the principle objectives for Sisvel’s presence at CeBIT is to promote new Patent Pools, as they are
viewed as a way to simplify the business practices between R&D investors and patented technology users.
Each pool is a concrete example of a licensing program which “assembles into one package” the patents
required for the production of products connected to a particular technology. This translates into a single
license agreement and a single royalty, as opposed to a number of separate contracts and royalties. Thus, a
Patent Pool is absolutely pro-competitive because it leads to the negotiation of a single license agreement,
which results in lower costs and indisputable market clarity, ultimately benefiting the final users

III (MP3). SISVEL will also introduce the DVB-T licensing program, relating to the
terrestrial digital television broadcast standard, which was recently transferred to

Hmmmm aggregation of patents into a single license... looks familiar.
