Royalty-Free Android Licence Launches in Aid of "Patent Peace"

2017/04/07

A cross-licence patent agreement centring on Android technology and Google applications has been launched to provide “patent peace” within the Android system.
The agreement, called Pax, allows members to grant each other royalty-free patent licences. Google and eight other companies, including Samsung and LG, have helped to launch the programme. According to a blog post on April 3 by Jamie Rosenberg, vice president, business and operations, Android and Google Play, Pax is the Latin word for “peace”. Google’s Android system has more than 400 partner manufacturers and 500 carriers who produced more than 4,000 devices last year.
