Licensing

CASE BY CASE: Licensing and pricing for PlayMedia’s line of AMP® MP3 decoders, the AMPhibian® Framework and all other products and services is done on a case by case basis based on a quick economic and business analysis.

In the case of decoder deployment in a PC audio playback application, we principally determine the value-added of the AMP® engine to the aggregate value of the application and define a fair per unit royalty.

OBLIGATIONS TO PATENT-HOLDERS: Thomson Multimedia, the patent licensing authority for MP3 (found at www.mp3licensing.com), requires that a patent license be either in process or in place before licensing MP3 code from us (or anyone else).

Neither PlayMedia® nor any other MP3 codec developer, pays for the various patent rights that Thomson may levy for such usage.  Under ISO rules, the prices charged by Thomson must be fair.

To begin the process, join the AMP® Developer Network now.  This is the first step in our creating a trusted relationship with you.
