ARTICLE III
OTHER OBLIGATIONS OF THE LICENSOR AND LICENSEE

Section 3.01 - Use of Licensed Trademarks
The Licensed Trademarks have acquired a reputation for high quality among professionals and consumers around the world. The performance capability of the Dolby Digital audio system is such that LICENSOR is willing, by virtue of this Agreement, to allow the use of the Licensed Trademarks on Licensed Products or on the user interface to Licensed Products and in connection with their advertising and marketing to indicate that the quality of such products conforms with the general reputation for high quality associated with the Licensed Trademarks. LICENSEE’s use of the Licensed Trademarks is optional, however, if LICENSEE opts to use one or more Licensed Trademarks, such use shall be subject to the obligations of this Agreement as well as detailed regulations issued from time to time by LICENSOR. LICENSEE shall comply with the requirements of the body of this Agreement and such additional regulations as LICENSOR may issue and shall ensure that its subsidiaries, agents, distributors, and dealers throughout the world comply with such requirements (in the case of any inconsistencies among the body of this Agreement, the Dolby Digital Licensee Information Manual of Appendix D and any additional regulations, the body of this Agreement shall govern):
(1) LICENSEE shall prominently mark the Licensed Product or the user interface to the Licensed Product in the following way:
 
[logo] Dolby
Digital

(2) The mark specified in subsection (1) of this Section 3.01, shall also be used at least once in a prominent manner in all advertising and promotions for such Licensed Product; such usages shall be no less prominent and in the same relative size as the most prominent third party other trademark(s) appearing on such Licensed Product or in the advertising and promotion thereof.
(3) LICENSEE may not use the Licensed Trademarks in advertising and promotion of a product not marked in accordance with subsection (1) of this Section 3.01.


 
(4) In every use of a Licensed Trademark, except on the main control surface of a Licensed Product, LICENSEE shall give notice to the public that such Licensed Trademark is a trademark by using the superscript letters “TM” after the respective trademark, or by use of the trademark registration symbol “®” (the capital letter R enclosed in a circle) as a superscript after the respective trademark. LICENSOR shall inform LICENSEE as to which notice form is to be used.
(5) LICENSEE shall use its best efforts to ensure that the appropriate trademark notices, as set forth in subsection (3) above, appear in advertising for such Licensed Products at the retail level.
(6) LICENSOR’s ownership of Licensed Trademarks shall be indicated whenever used by LICENSEE, whether use is on a product or on descriptive, instructional, advertising, or promotional material, by the most relevant of the following acknowledgments: “‘Dolby’ is a trademark of Dolby Laboratories”, “The double-D symbol is a trademark of Dolby Laboratories”, or “‘Dolby’ and the double-D symbol are trademarks of Dolby Laboratories.” On Licensed Products such words shall be used on an exposed surface, such as the back or the bottom. LICENSEE shall use its best efforts to ensure that such an acknowledgment appears in advertising at the retail level.
(7) Licensed Trademarks shall always be used in accordance with established United States practices for the protection of trademark and service mark rights, unless the requirements in the country or jurisdiction in which the product will be sold are more stringent, in which case the practice of such country or jurisdiction shall be followed. In no event shall any Licensed Trademark be used in any way that suggests or connotes that it is a common, descriptive or generic designation. Whenever the word “Dolby” is used, the letter D shall be upper-case. The word “Dolby” shall be used only as an adjective referring to a digital audio product, never as a noun or in any other usage which may contribute to a generic meaning thereof. In descriptive, instructional, advertising, or promotional material or media relating to Licensed Products, LICENSEE must use the Licensed Trademarks and expressions which include the Licensed Trademark “Dolby” with an appropriate generic or descriptive term (e.g., “Dolby Digital encoder”, “Dolby Digital audio circuit”, “Dolby Digital transmission” etc.), with reference to Licensed Products and their use.
(8) All uses of the Licensed Trademarks are subject to approval by LICENSOR. LICENSOR reserves the right to require LICENSEE to submit proposed uses to LICENSOR for written approval prior to actual use. Upon request of LICENSOR, LICENSEE shall submit to LICENSOR samples of its own

 
usage of the Licensed Trademarks and usage of the Licensed Trademarks by its subsidiaries, agents, distributors, and dealers.
 

(9) Licensed Trademarks shall be used in a manner that distinguishes them from other trademarks, service marks, symbols or trade names, including LICENSEE’s Trade Name and Trademarks.
(10) LICENSEE may not use the Licensed Trademarks on and in connection with products that do not meet LICENSOR’s quality standards.
(11) LICENSEE may not use the Licensed Trademarks on and in connection with products other than Licensed Products.
Section 3.02 - Ownership of the Licensed Trademarks
LICENSEE acknowledges the validity and exclusive ownership by LICENSOR of the Licensed Trademarks.
LICENSEE further acknowledges that it owns no rights in the Licensed Trademarks nor in the tradename “Dolby Laboratories.” LICENSEE acknowledges and agrees that all rights that it may accrue in the Licensed Trademarks and in the tradenames “Dolby Laboratories” will inure to the benefit of the owner thereof, LICENSOR or LICENSOR’s parent Dolby Laboratories, Inc.
LICENSEE further agrees that it will not file any application for registration of the Licensed Trademarks or “Dolby Laboratories” in any country, region, or under any arrangement or treaty. LICENSEE also agrees that it will not use nor will it file any application to register in any country, region, or under any arrangement or treaty any mark, symbol or phrase, in any language, which is confusingly similar to the Licensed Trademarks or “Dolby Laboratories”.
Section 3.03 - Maintenance of Trademark Rights
The expense of obtaining and maintaining Licensed Trademark registrations shall be borne by LICENSOR. LICENSOR, as it deems necessary, will advise LICENSEE of the grant of registration of such trademarks. As LICENSOR deems necessary, LICENSEE and LICENSOR will comply with applicable laws and practices of the country of registration, including, without limiting the foregoing, the marking with notice of registration and the recording of LICENSEE as a registered or licensed user of such trademarks. The expense of registering or recording LICENSEE as a registered user or otherwise complying with the laws of any country pertaining to such registration or the recording of trademark

 
agreements shall be borne by LICENSEE. LICENSEE shall advise LICENSOR of all countries where Licensed Products are sold, leased or used.
Section 3.04 - Trademark Enforcement
LICENSEE shall immediately inform LICENSOR of all infringements, potential or actual, which may come to its attention, of the Licensed Trademarks. It shall be the exclusive responsibility of LICENSOR, at its own expense, to terminate, compromise, or otherwise act at its discretion with respect to such infringements. LICENSEE agrees to cooperate with LICENSOR by furnishing, without charge, except out-of-pocket expenses, such evidence, documents and testimony as may be required therein.
Section 3.05 - Other-Trademark Purchasers
To the extent only that technical standardization, equipment or signal source interchangeability, product identification and usage of the Licensed Trademarks are affected, the following conditions shall apply if LICENSEE sells or leases Licensed Products on a mass basis to an Other-Trademark Purchaser who does not hold a license with terms and conditions substantially similar to this Agreement. LICENSEE shall inform LICENSOR of the name, place of business, trademarks, and trade names of the Other-Trademark Purchaser before such Other-Trademark Purchaser sells, leases, or uses Licensed Products. LICENSEE shall obtain agreement from such Other-Trademark Purchaser not to modify, install, use, lease, sell, provide written material for or about, advertise, or promote Licensed Products in any way which is in conflict with any provision of this Agreement. It shall be the responsibility of LICENSEE to inform the Other-Trademark Purchaser of the provisions of this Agreement, to notify such Other-Trademark Purchaser that the provisions of this Agreement shall be applicable, through LICENSEE, in the same way as if the Licensed Products were sold by LICENSEE under LICENSEE’s Trade Names and Trademarks, to ensure by all reasonable means that such provisions are adhered to and, if requested by LICENSOR, to provide to LICENSOR samples on a loan basis of the Other-Trademark Purchaser’s embodiment of the Licensed Products, as well as copies of such Other-Trademark Purchaser’s advertising, public announcements, literature, instruction manuals, and the like.
