RE: ACACIAI'S DMT PATENTS
Thank you for responding to our Final Notice letter on or before the November 30th deadline. Due to our delay in responding to you, we will still make available our pre-November 30th royalty rates, provided that you elect to enter into a license agreement with Acacia at this time.
Our records indicate that you send traffic to one or more websites not licensed by Acacia that provide the digital audio/video content for viewing¡ª --insert URL here-- . For this activity described above, you are potentially liable for patent infringement and need a license from Acacia.
Please note that if you only send traffic to other websites that provide the digital audio/video content for viewing, and do not otherwise provide access to digital audio/video content on your website, you may avoid entering into a license with Acacia by sending (or redirecting) traffic to websites that are licensed by Acacia. You may find a current list of our licensed sponsors at http://www.acaciatechnologies.com/pr...edSponsors.pdf
If you desire to continue to send traffic to unlicensed sponsors, we are willing to offer you an annual prepaid royalty based on two percent (2%) of your actual gross sales for the immediately preceding twelve (12) month period during the term. The term of the License Agreement will begin on July 1, 2003. The royalty due for the first royalty period of July 1, 2003 through June 30, 2004 is two percent (2%) of your actual gross sales for the period of July 1, 2002 through June 30, 2003. If you are interested in entering into a license with Acacia at the pre-November 30th royalty rates set forth above, please reply promptly to this email indicating your company name and your gross sales between July 1, 2002 and June 30, 2003. Upon receipt of that information, we will send you the appropriate license agreement for your review and execution.
