Intertrust Announces Patent
Licensing Program for OMA and Marlin Services
Program receives endorsement from major mobile
operators and GSM Association
Sunnyvale, February
9, 2007 - Intertrust
Technologies today announced a patent licensing
program for Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) and Marlin
DRM services. The program provides a license to
all patents from Intertrust, Philips and Sony for
use with OMA and/or Marlin services for a single
price. In a parallel communiqué, the
licensing initiative was welcomed by the GSM Association,
the trade association representing over 700 mobile
network operators globally, as a positive step towards
enabling the adoption of open standards for mobile
DRM.
Network operators, service providers and/or technology
vendors providing solutions to network operators,
may take a license from this program. The program
provides prospective OMA and/or Marlin DRM service
licensees with two options:
- Active Subscriber Domain License: €0.09
per Active Subscriber Domain per year. An Active
Subscriber Domain is an individual activated service
provider account tracked via an OMA or Marlin unique
domain ID.
- Total Subscriber License: €0.015 per Subscriber
per year in 2007 to €0.030 in 2016 per Subscriber
per year, calculated against the total Subscriber
population of a service provider or network operator.
“We are pleased to launch a program that provides
a comprehensive license to three major patent portfolios
that enable the market for open standards in digital
rights management,” said Talal Shamoon, CEO
of Intertrust. “This program fundamentally
facilitates the adoption of OMA and Marlin and paves
the way to major adoption of these technologies.”
The program applies to current versions and future
evolutions of Marlin and OMA. Further, the
program provides additional incentives for early
adopter licensees. Active Subscriber Domain
licensees may transition to the Total Subscriber
License option at any time during the first three
years by activating a transition option. Further
details of the program may be found at www.intertrust.com/licensing/oma_marlin.html
