...A Strong Position in LTE... 9 Number of InterDigital US Patents and Applications Declared to ETSI for E-UMTS (LTE) (By Year Declared to ETSI) Number of InterDigital US Patents and Applications Declared to ETSI for UMTS (WCDMA) and E-UMTS (LTE) (Cumulative, by Year) ___________________________ The data in the tables presented above reflect the U.S. (i) patents, (ii) non-provisional patent applications and (iii) provisional patent applications declared to the European Telecommunications Standards Institute ("ETSI") for the UMTS (including UMTS/CDMA) (3G) and E-UMTS (LTE) projects, as applicable, through October 27, 2010 by InterDigital's patent holding subsidiaries. UMTS and E-UMTS stand for Universal Mobile Telecommunications System and Evolved Universal Mobile Telecommunications System, respectively. Some patents and applications have been declared to ETSI by InterDigital for both UMTS and E-UMTS and therefore are included in both the UMTS and the E-UMTS data above. The data above has been adjusted to reflect withdrawals of, and corrections made to, declarations of patents and applications as of October 27, 2010. 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. The data in the tables above may include patents and applications that are directed to technology that is not, or may never be, deployed. 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. We believe we have one of the leading patent portfolios in LTE technology Significantly bigger opportunity in LTE as more devices available (tablets, e-readers, etc.) LTE royalty rates expected to be higher Series 1 Series 2 Series 3 Series 4 Series 5 Series 6 Series 7 Series 8 2007 49 1100 233 3961 2876 1297 466 267 2008 94 1100 269 3691 2876 1027 1333 303 2009 163 2010 293 UMTS (WCDMA) E-UMTS (LTE) Series 3 Series 4 Series 5 Series 6 Series 7 Series 8 2001 49 233 3961 2876 1297 466 267 2004 226 269 3691 2876 1027 1333 303 2007 338 49 2008 483 143 2009 626 306 2010 830 599
