Current report
Our business and operations may be adversely affected by a deterioration in United States-China relations or broader trade and geopolitical conditions.
Current report
The recent imposition of tariffs by the United States could materially harm our business. Companies headquartered in China currently comprise a substantial portion of customers that utilize our patented inventions in their devices and services. Our ability to renew license agreements with current licensees in China as well as license new manufacturers is, among other things, affected by the macroeconomic and geopolitical climate, as well as our business relationships and perceived reputation in China. The U.S. and Chinese governments are regularly engaged in various trade discussions, and in January 2020, the U.S. and China entered into Phase One of the Economic and Trade Agreement, which took steps to ease certain trade tensions between the U.S. and China, including tensions involving intellectual property theft and forced intellectual property transfers by China. Although the Phase One Trade Agreement was an encouraging sign of progress in the trade negotiations between the U.S. and China, the recent imposition of tariffs by the US government has increased tensions, both with China and globally.
Current report
Countermeasures imposed in response to such government actions could materially harm our business prospects, financial condition and cash flow. Currently, the future of existing tariffs, and the possibility for new tariffs or trade policies, remains uncertain. So far, these tariffs and trade policies have not had a significant impact on our ability to development foundational technologies or to participate and lead open standard development, or our business operations or financial results more generally; however, there is no guarantee that we can avoid the impact of tariff and related economic effects in the future, and these trade measures and any retaliatory measures imposed could directly or indirectly harm our business. Our ability to renew or conclude new license agreements could also be affected by economic uncertainty, particularly in the handset market, in China or globally.
Current report
China is a key market for us, and any of these factors could harm our ability to execute our business plans. The ultimate impact of ongoing trade tensions is uncertain, but if tensions continue or escalate, we could suffer material harm to our business, financial condition and operating results.
