<h3 class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong>Innovating today, empowering tomorrow</strong></span></h3>
<p class="p1">The more we rely on technology to connect our lives, our businesses, and the world around us, the more our world relies on InterDigital to enable next generation connected ecosystems. As a global leader in the development of advanced wireless, video, AI, and related technologies, InterDigital is defining, and making possible, the technological solutions that will connect the unconnected and enable more immersive experiences for years to come.</p>
<p class="p1">For both wireless and video, the development of global standards allows device manufacturers to easily implement a common set of specifications for rolling out products and services, which then allow consumers to connect seamlessly to a wireless network or to efficiently stream video regardless of location, device or operating system. These standards provide the bedrock for the entire connected ecosystem upon which billions of people rely and trillions of dollars of economic activity are built. As a principal contributor to these global standards, we work tirelessly to ensure that these global standards operate effectively, and we also strive to ensure fair and reasonable compensation for our contributions.</p>
<p class="p1">InterDigital has the vision and the expertise to solve problems others can&rsquo;t. The quality of our innovation is regularly recognized as world class by third parties. In 2022, 2023 and 2024, we have been included in the LexisNexis Innovation Momentum: The Global Top 100 report, which analyzes the impact of companies&rsquo; innovation not only today but also their likely impact in the longer term.</p>
<p class="p1">The development of the 5G standard is ongoing but it is already clear that InterDigital has played a foundational role in its evolution. The company&rsquo;s total patent count for 5G NR already exceeds our patent count for 4G LTE and is expected to grow substantially with subsequent releases and continued research. In video, we are one of the leading contributors to the latest video codecs, HEVC and VVC. As with 5G NR, our VVC development exceeds the previous generation, as we continually build on our momentum and our strengths.</p>
<p class="p1">In addition, many of our engineers in our AI Lab, as well as in our wireless and video labs, are recognized as leaders in the application of AI to advanced wireless and video technologies.</p>
<h3 class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong>InterDigital&rsquo;s portfolio</strong></span></h3>
<p class="p1">InterDigital&rsquo;s overall portfolio comprises more than 30,000 granted patents and pending applications. Our portfolio of wireless patents and applications is among the largest in the world and our engineers have been closely involved in the development of each generation of cellular technology all the way through to our current leadership in 5G. Our innovation is so fundamental that it enables multiple generations of cellular all the way through to 5G Advanced.</p>
<p class="p1">Because many technologies are carried over from one generation to the next, our 5G inventions combine with earlier breakthroughs to give us a patent footprint on a device that builds as generations advance and devices maintain backward compatibility. This reinforces the value and utility of our portfolio and, in total, we own almost 12,000 cellular patents and applications which relate to a 5G multi-mode device.</p>
<p class="p1">The following chart shows our cellular wireless patent footprint based on the generation of device.</p>

<p class="p1">As well as being one of the largest portfolios in the industry, our wireless portfolio is also recognized by third parties as among the highest quality. According to analysis by LexisNexis, our 5G portfolio ranks in the top five of all major patent owners in the space when ranked on both quantity and quality<sup>(1)</sup>.</p>
<p class="p1">Beyond cellular, the company has for years participated in the development of other wireless technologies, most notably the 802.11 Wi-Fi&reg; standard. InterDigital owns almost 2,000 patents and applications related to 802.11.</p>
<p class="p1">Thanks to our rich heritage of video innovation, InterDigital is a major holder of patents related to a variety of video standards. Our portfolio related to HEVC includes around 2,200 patents and applications while our portfolio related to VVC totals approximately 3,800. We also have a significant number of AV1 and VP9 patents and pending applications. As in wireless, the quality of our video portfolio is also recognized by third parties. According to analysis carried out using LexisNexis&rsquo; PatentSight tool, our video coding portfolio is among the top five highest quality of all major patent owners in the space<sup>(2)</sup>.</p>
<p class="p1">At a time when wireless and video are converging and when video accounts for a growing share of internet traffic, we believe that our strength in both technologies makes our innovation leadership only more compelling. Through our research we can optimize end-to-end solutions for device manufacturers and service providers across different layers of technologies, meaning that our innovation is central to an expanding universe of connectivity.</p>
<p class="p1">Along with our leadership in wireless and video, many of our engineers are recognized leaders in AI, and more specifically in the application of AI to help solve changes in video coding, wireless communications and other related technologies. Our history of AI research stretches back more than 30 years including early work on the application of neural networks to image and signal processing.</p>
<p class="p1">Today, our AI expertise is based in our standalone AI Lab and also supports our domain experts embedded throughout our wireless and video research teams. Together they are exploring new ways to make wireless networks and advanced video technologies more efficient, reliable and sustainable. In total, our growing patent portfolio of AI-related innovations stretches to over 400 patent families.</p>
<p class="p1">As well as playing a foundational role in the development of standardized technologies such as 5G, 802.11 and the leading video codecs, we have also developed a variety of other patented technologies, including displays, user interfaces, networks, communications, immersive video, HDR, content management, recording, and storage. These patents make up a considerable portion of our portfolio and are relevant for a broad range of devices and services, such as, among others, TVs, set top boxes, PCs, and OTT streaming services.</p>
