UMTS stands for Universal Mobile Telecommunications System. 2. Some patents and applications have been disclosed to ETSI by InterDigital for both UMTS and LTE and therefore are included in both the UMTS and the LTE data above. 3. Data above has been adjusted to reflect withdrawals of, and corrections made to, declarations of patents and applications as of November 30, 2011. 4. Certain of the patent and application data provided above by InterDigital may not correlate to the data available on the ETSI IPR Database as a result of differences in compiling, organizing and displaying declaration data. In addition, the patent and application data provided above may not be comparable to similar data provided by other third parties due to, among other things, differences in ETSI database search methodologies and applicable time periods. 5. The data in the tables above may include patents and applications that are directed to technology that is not, or may never be, deployed. 6. InterDigital’s presentation of this data is not a statement of the essentiality of the patents and applications referred to herein, nor is this data a substitute for an independent evaluation of essentiality. 4G/LTE portfolio developing at a faster rate than WCDMA, in what we believe is one of the leading patent portfolios in 4G/LTE technology Rapid deployment of 4G/LTE characterized by more device types, and higher anticipated royalty rates
