Our company is using a commercially off the shelf (COTS) Turbo Code purchased from an ASIC, DSP, or Software supplier, do we owe royalties for using Turbo Codes?
If you are an equipment manufacturer and have acquired an ASIC, DSP, or Software implementing Turbo Codes from a non-licensed provider, you could potentially be liable for back royalties if your supplier does not participate in the Turbo Code Licensing Program. The end user is ultimately responsible.
