This is to advise the IETF, in accordance with the IETF RFCs 3979 and 4879 that Nokia Corporation believes the Nokia patent application "METHOD FOR DEPOSITING A CREDIT ON AN ACCOUNT ASSOCIATED TO A TERMINAL SUBSCRIBED TO A COMMUNICATION NETWORK” (2808/CHENP/2004, 2005100962) (the “Disclosed Patents”), may be required to implement RFC 4006 ”Diameter Credit-Control Application ” (the “Contribution”).
Subject to reciprocity, Nokia Corporation informs that Nokia Corporation covenants on its behalf and and its Affiliates’ behalf not to assert, against any person, those claims of the Disclosed Patents only that would, in the absence of a license, be necessarily infringed by the use of a right (e.g. making, using, selling, importing, distribution, copying,etc) with respect to a technology implementing such IETF RFC (the “Covenant”). In this context, “necessarily infringed” means that such claims are technically necessary to implement the IETF RFC in question.

Nokia Corporation informs that Nokia Corporation and its Affiliates will make a license available on fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory (“FRAND”) terms and conditions based on reciprocity to all persons desiring to implement such IETF RFC for those claims of the Disclosed Patents only that would, in the absence of a license, be necessarily infringed by the use of a right (e.g. making, using, selling, importing, distribution, copying,etc) with respect to a technology implementing such IETF RFC (the “License”). In this context, “necessarily infringed” means that such claims are technically necessary to implement the IETF RFC in question.
“Affiliate” of Nokia Corporation means any legal entity that is for the time being directly or indirectly controlled by Nokia Corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing Nokia Siemens Networks B.V (the joint venture of Nokia Corporation and Siemens AG) and the companies controlled by Nokia Siemens network B.V shall not be deemed to be Affiliates of Nokia Corporation.

Such entities shall only be deemed to be Affiliates.hereunder for as long as such control exists.
