Licensing SRTS Technology
Synchronous residual time stamp (SRTS) technology is patented by Telcordia Technologies (formerly Bellcore) under US patent 5,260,978. In a letter to
the ATM Forum, Bellcore has stated that "Bellcore patents are available for licensing on a non-exclusive and nondiscriminatory basis and at reasonable
royalties". It is our understanding that Telcordia prefers to make such licenses available to equipment vendors and does not make licenses available to
integrated circuit component vendors at this time.
Accordingly, PMC-Sierra does not provide any patent licensing protection from infringement of US Patent No. 5,260,978, or any other third party patents,
to any users of AAL1gator products. PMC-Sierra will not indemnify for or defend against patent infringement claims or suits brought by any third
parties. In this regard, it is the customer's responsibility to obtain all necessary licenses. We recommend that any manufacturer that makes use of SRTS
functionality (by using an AAL1gator product or via some other implementation) establishes its own license agreement with Telcordia.

lost business or lost data resulting from any use of or reliance upon the information, whether or not PMC-Sierra, Inc. has been advised of the possibility
