WiLAN and SENSIO Expand Licensing Partnership

OTTAWA, CANADA and MONTREAL, CANADA — (Marketwired) — 12/01/14 — WiLAN (TSX: WIN)(NASDAQ: WILN) and SENSIO Technologies Inc. (“SENSIO”) (TSX VENTURE: SIO) have entered into a new multi-year licensing partnership agreement.

This new agreement builds on the previous agreement signed in 2012. The previous agreement with WiLAN resulted in certain SENSIO patents being licensed to major TV manufacturers Sony and Panasonic. The new agreement grants WiLAN all rights to license a number of additional SENSIO patents related to 3D technologies for digital displays including SENSIO® S2D Switch technology and technology related to temporal interpolation.

Net revenues generated from licensing of the patents under the new agreement will be shared between SENSIO and WiLAN. All other terms of the agreement are confidential.

“We are very happy to expand our patent licencing partnership with WiLAN”, said Nicholas Routhier, President & CEO, SENSIO. “We were looking at growing our patent licencing activities, especially pursuant to the recent granting of the temporal interpolation patents. With the great relationship and positive results of our first patent licencing agreement with WiLAN, today–s new agreement was the only natural conclusion to our endeavour. We are extremely positive with WiLAN–s ability to maximize the value of our assets and generate value for our shareholders.”
