Intellectual Property: As an integral part of the process of conceiving, designing, and developing its next generation integrated network, the Company has prepared and filed over 100 patent applications representing over 4,000 claims related to the commercialization and development of a satellite terrestrial integrated network. The applications have been filed in both the United States and in several key countries abroad. It is the Company's belief that a next generation integrated network cannot effectively and efficiently be implemented on a commercially viable basis without the benefits of a patent portfolio. The Company is committed to vigorously enforcing and defending the rights afforded through its patents. In addition to the patents and patent applications filed, the Company currently incorporates licensed patents and unpatented technology and software into its existing and planned networks. Certain agreements with third parties include provisions pursuant to which the Company will receive a non-exclusive license to developments including, among other things, technology and related software created by such third parties for use in its existing and planned networks. The Company expects to enter into additional agreements with strategic partners that will include licenses to third party intellectual property as it develops its next generation integrated network.
