Sipro Lab Telecom Becomes the New Licensing Administrator of the W-CDMA Patent Pool

MONTREAL, January 12, 2011 - Sipro Lab Telecom and the licensors of the W-CDMA Patent Pool announced
today that as of January 1, 2011, Sipro is the new licensing administrator of
the W-CDMA Patent Pool. With the help of Sipro Lab Telecom, the licensors of
the W-CDMA Patent Pool want to further increase the attractiveness of the
W-CDMA Patent Pool's offering to manufacturers of W-CDMA terminal products
and other patent holders of W-CDMA essential patents.

Sipro Lab Telecom plans to contact all potential holders of W-CDMA
essential patents and manufacturers of W-CDMA terminal products that have not
yet joined the W-CDMA Patent Pool as licensors or licensees. "We definitely
intend to address any issues raised by the industry in order to enhance the
benefits of the W-CDMA Patent Pool.", says Catharie Béchamp, Vice-President
Licensing at Sipro Lab Telecom.

The W-CDMA Patent Pool has already successfully attracted twelve (12)
licensors to its program. Sipro wants to attract more licensors so that
royalties payable to the numerous holders of W-CDMA essential patents can be
pooled under one joint license agreement, and thus bring more certainty to
the market as to the cumulative royalty rate payable for W-CDMA terminal
products. "By adding even more licensors to the program, we will increase the
predictability around licensing terms and conditions in the
telecommunications industry. To achieve this goal, the licensing program
strives to meet the expectations of potential licensors", adds Ms. Nathalie
Beaudoin, Licensing Director at Sipro Lab Telecom.

"The licensors of the W-CDMA Patent Pool are confident that the W-CDMA
Patent Pool has reached a epochal point in its development. We will work
diligently to enhance the appeal of the program to both licensors and
licensees to ensure its success," concludes Ms. Béchamp.
