PATENT HOLDER'S POSITION REGARDING LICENSING ESSENTIAL PATENT RIGHTS 

The Patent Holder believes it owns or controls granted patent(s) and/or pending applications (formerly 

owned by SPX Corporation) which it believes could potentially be infringed by compliance with the 

proposed SAE Technical Report. Patent Holder states that its position with respect to licensing such 

patent(s) is as follows: 

To the extent that a claim is essential to practicing either the SAE 12788 or 12843 standards, a license 

will be made available, on a claim by claim basis, as required for compliance with the SAE J2788 and 

12843 standards, to applicants under reasonable terms and conditions that are demonstrably free of any 

unfair discrimination. 

A license that includes a reciprocity requirement, field of use restrictions or termination upon withdrawal 

of Proposed Technical Report shall not be deemed unreasonable.

Sample Notification Letter 
To Whom It May Concern: 

Robert Bosch GmbH is happy to announce that it has completed its acquisition of the Services 

Solutions business of SPX Corp. We are excited to welcome the Robinair brand of air 

conditioning service equipment to the Bosch family of products. Bosch looks forward to 

working with you to continue bringing Robinair products to our customers. 

Version for Distributors Continues: 

One thing that Bosch will not do, however, is to require distributors either to carry or advertise 

only the Robinair brand of ACS equipment on an exclusive basis. Although you are not required 

to carry or advertise any other brand of ACS equipment if you choose not to do so, Bosch will 

not enforce any provision in your agreement that would prevent you from doing so. Bosch 

generally does not use such provisions in its automotive aftermarket business, and as part of the 

Federal Trade Commission's review of the SPX acquisition, Bosch willingly offered to agree not 

to enforce such exclusivity provisions or to enter into them in the future. Bosch's agreement 

with the FTC and the FTC's order are available at [insert URL]. 

Version for Service Providers Continues: 

One thing that Bosch will not do, however, is to require service providers to service only the 

Robinair brand of ACS equipment. Although you are not required to service any other brand of 

ACS equipment if you choose not to do so, Bosch will not enforce any provision in your 

agreement that would prevent you from doing so. Bosch generally does not use such provisions 

in its automotive aftermarket business, and as part ofthe Federal Trade Commission's review of 

the SPX acquisition, Bosch willingly offered to agree not to enforce such exclusivity provisions 

or to enter into them in the future. Bosch's agreement with the FTC and the FTC's order are 

available at [insert URL]. 

Thank you again for your work on Robinair products. We look forward to working together.
