Motive and Tablet TV, LLC Sign Licence Agreements in the United
States
Motive and Tablet TV, LLC (TTV) today announce that they have
signed licence agreements regarding the Tablet TV Joint Venture in
the United States.
Motive and TTV have entered into two agreements under which the
Joint Venture receives non-transferable, perpetual, and irrevocable
licences for use of Motive's technology for the territory of the
United States and Canada to be used for the business of Tablet
Television.
The Base Technology Licence Agreement provides for the Motive
Technology platform which enables the provision of linear and
video-on-demand services to mobile devices. This Agreement is
provided to Tablet TV LLC as the 50% equity investment by Motive to
match Granite's investment and in kind services.
The Tablet Technology Licence Agreement enables delivery to a
mobile device of enhanced mobile TV services; and makes possible
both free-to-air and encoded content delivered via the ATSC
standard into a format viewable on a mobile device. It also enables
channel selection and viewing, recording functionality, and social
networking and added functions. This agreement also includes
"Motive Tablet Technology" which is the Motive Tablet App and that
part of the Motive Technology resident within a T-Pod antenna.
Under the Tablet Technology Licence Agreement, Motive will
receive Royalties based on a licence fee for each end user signed
up for the Tablet TV service based on a formula that takes into
account the cumulative number of end users.
In addition the Limited Liability Company Agreement, originally
signed in May 2012, was updated.
Although there is no guarantee as to the full financial impact
to Motive, the Company believes that both the Base Technology
Licence Agreement and the Tablet Technology Licence Agreement
provide the potential for a substantial uplift in the Company's
revenues over the next years.
Commenting on the new Agreements, Motive CEO Leonard M Fertig
said: "These licence agreements are the most significant and
valuable contracts signed in Motive's history. After three years of
hard work, Tablet TV is ready to take its place as an operating
business across the United States and Canada, and it is important
to put the licensing agreements in place to go forward with
industry partners and strategic investors. We are delighted to
re-affirm our relationship with Granite and look forward to a very
successful business together."
Chairman of Granite, Peter Markham added: "Tablet TV has moved
from an idea to a remarkable product. I look forward to the next
stage in the development of Tablet TV with Motive."
