We believe that licenses under a number of our patents are required to manufacture and sell wireless products, as well as other consumer electronics devices, and to implement certain technology services.  However, numerous companies also claim that they hold patents that are or may be essential or may become essential to standards-based technology deployed on wireless products, other consumer electronics devices and services.  To the extent that multiple parties all seek royalties on the same product or service, the manufacturers could claim to have difficulty in meeting the financial requirements of each patent holder. In the past, certain manufacturers have sought antitrust exemptions to act collectively on a voluntary basis.  In addition, certain manufacturers have sought to limit aggregate licensing fees or rates for SEPs.

Sustainability

We believe our innovation provides the framework for a future increasingly shaped by the profound convergence of wireless, video, and AI technologies. As these technologies become more ubiquitous and deliver immense benefits across the global ecosystem, we believe it is important that the future we are enabling continues to be anchored by a core set of values, ethics, and principles. Our heritage of innovation has produced technologies that fundamentally improve efficiency and power consumption across billions of devices, network infrastructure, and delivered services. Our sustainability principles continue this legacy and shape our pursuit of a more sustainable, representative, diverse, and equitable world.

Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has primary oversight over environmental, social and other sustainability matters, which it exercises in conjunction with the committees of the Board. In addition, our Chief Financial Officer oversees a committee of senior executives that steers the process of setting purpose, strategies, policies and goals related to economic, environmental and social topics. We are committed to sustainable business principles, to thinking long-term, and to making strategic decisions that adhere to our mission and values. We strive to focus and make progress on initiatives that matter most to our business, our employees, communities, and external stakeholders. Among other things, this means aligning our standards to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals and its underlying principles around the environment, the workforce, anti-corruption, and human rights.
