A broad range of licensing programs


Rather than licensing individual patents, the Technicolor IP&L unit develops licensing programs. These enable a licensee to obtain a license covering all of our patents related to a particular application (including patents which may be filed subsequent to granting of the license).

We currently have approximately 1,100 licensing agreements across 14 licensing programs covering a diverse mix of video products and services.

Technicolor's licensing activities were consolidated in 1999, following the integration of the RCA patent and license management business (transferred from General Electric Co.) into the Thomson/Technicolor Licensing organization. The Technicolor IP&L unit also handles trademark licensing for usage of such brands as RCA  in a number of consumer electronics product categories.

We manage licensing of the mp3 digital music file format, with over 650 licensees to date. The mp3 format was co-developed by Thomson and the Fraunhofer Institute IIS.
