The portfolio acquired from Orange includes LTE patents that have been contributed by Orange to Sisvel’s LTE patent pool. These specific patent rights remain available under the terms and conditions of that pool (detailed information can be found on http://www.sisvel.com/index.php/lte-ltea ), while the other patent rights related to 3G/4G technology but not included in Sisvel LTE/LTE-A pool will be licensed through separate licensing programs.
