VI. Licensing Declaration

The Patent Holder states that its position with respect to licensing any patent claims contained in the patent(s) or patent application(s) disclosed above that would necessarily be infringed by implementation of the technology required by the relevant IETF specification ("Necessary Patent Claims"), for the purpose of implementing such specification, is as follows(select one licensing declaration option only):

Licensing See Text Below for Licensing Declaration
Licensing information, comments, notes, or URL for further information

Amazon Technologies, Inc. intends to provide the following royalty-free license if the technology covered by this disclosure is included in a standard adopted by the IETF.
LICENSE
License Grant. Amazon Technologies, Inc. (“Amazon”) hereby grants to you a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable (except as stated in this license) license under Licensed Patents to make, have made, use, offer to sell, sell, import, transfer, and otherwise run, modify (in a way that still complies with the Specification), and reproduce any Implementation.
Definitions. Specification means, and includes the following, both individually and collectively, (a) any standard specification related to the Opus codec adopted as an RFC by the IETF or any RFC that is issued as an update or new version thereof (“Standard”) and (b) any reference implementation (each, a “Reference Implementation”) indicated by the IETF as being a Reference Implementation for the Standard for which this License is issued. An Implementation means any Reference Implementation, or another implementation that complies with the Specification. Licensed Patents means all patents currently owned by Amazon or acquired hereafter that Amazon has the right to license as set forth above and that are Necessarily Infringed by the Specification, where “Necessarily Infringed” means: in the case of (a) above, there is no commercially viable means of implementing the Specification without infringing such patent; in the case of (b) above, use of the Reference Implementation to the extent it infringes such patent.
Termination. If you, directly or indirectly via controlled affiliate or subsidiary, agent, or exclusive licensee, file a Claim for patent infringement of a Necessarily Infringed patent claim against any entity alleging that an Implementation in whole or in part constitutes direct or contributory patent infringement, or inducement of patent infringement (a “Claim”), then any patent rights granted to you under this License shall automatically terminate retroactively as of the date you first received the grant. Claims made against an Implementation in part will only trigger termination if the Implementation in part was done for the purpose of combining it with other technology that complies with the Specification so that the technology’s ultimate use will be consistent with the Standard as a whole.

Note: The individual submitting this template represents and warrants that he or she is authorized by the Patent Holder to agree to the above-selected licensing declaration.
