"The field of biotechnology instrumentation promises to be an area of
exciting technological innovation that will be a key part of the array of
genomic and proteomic analysis technologies extending over the next ten
years ," notes Kenneth G.com/pid/drm/
MEF's mDRM committee reviewed the licensing scheme proposed by
MPEG LA and after consultation with the MEF membership believes that
MPEG LA's proposed royalty rates are onerous, impractical and unclear,
and has published the following comments:

Both the fee amount per device and the fee structure levied
for each download will place an unnecessary burden on the
business models of all players in the mobile entertainment
value chain.

NEW YORK, In the twenty years following the
emergence of the Human Genome Project, the field of biotechnology
instrumentation has made major league advances and promises to widen the
genomic /proteomic knowledge base at a rapid pace by making gene/protein
analysis faster and easier to conduct , according to a new study from Kalorama
Information, a division of MarketResearch. Under the proposed License, royalty rates for
patents essential to OMA DRM 1.

MEF Statement on MPEG LA licensing program for OMA DRM V1

As already announced on February 14, 2005, the Mobile
Entertainment Forum fully supports the aims of the Open Mobile
Alliance (OMA) DRM standardization initiative, and is committed to an
interoperable, open ecosystem which respects the rights and meets the
obligations of all participants in the mobile entertainment space. The terms being considered by MPEG LA, described below, could
have a devastating affect on any business involved in mobile and
wireless entertainment .

However , recent announcements made by the licensing body attempting to
impose royalties on mobile DRM have led the MEF to speak out, in the
name of its membership, against what it perceives as onerous licensing
terms.

Business Editors/Entertainment Editors

LOS ANGELES----The Mobile
Entertainment Forum (MEF) today announced that, following in-depth
consultation with its members, it has issued a statement regarding the
licensing program proposed by MPEG LA for Mobile Digital Rights
Management (Mobile DRM) on behalf of the essential patent holders of
OMA DRM V1. It
would like MPEG LA to consider models similar to other areas such as
AVC, J2ME and WAP and proprietary DRMs. The MEF is committed to
reducing the barriers to entry into the innovative mobile
entertainment market, thereby encouraging entry by new businesses and
increasing competition and growth to the benefit of all industry
players and consumers.

The new study, The Future of Biotechnology Instrumentation, predicts that
as the field continues to advance, producing faster, smaller and more highly
automated analytical instruments -- particularly instruments that combine
analytical technologies -- will be the main objective drivers in upgrading the
current market. Krul, PhD, the report's author.0 and OMA DRM 2.

The scheme is also impractical as fees would need to be levied
retroactively for devices already on the market with OMA V1
capabilities. We hope to be able to work with MPEG LA to suggest a
compromise licensing programme and fee structure which will maximize
the opportunities from mobile entertainment for all concerned," says
Patrick Parodi, chair, The Mobile Entertainment Forum.
