   1.                                                   We note your discussion
of revenue refers to changes in long-term license agreements as
                                                        well as changes in
non-recurring revenue. In light of the potential variability attributable
                                                        to non-recurring
revenues, revise to separately quantify and discuss recurring revenues
                                                        and non-recurring
revenues for each period presented. Please provide us with proposed
                                                        future disclosures
based on your December 31, 2022 results. Refer to Item 303(b)(2) of
                                                        Regulation S-K.

2.       Please tell us what consideration was given to providing revenue
disaggregation
         disclosures based on the pattern of recognition, such as over-time and
point in time, to
         depict the timing and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows. Clarify
whether recurring
         and non-recurring revenues are the same pattern of recognition as
over-time and point in
         time and if not please explain how they differ. Also, tell us your
consideration of
         disaggregation based on the nature of or market vertical for licensing
revenues. In this
         regard, we note that you discuss your media portfolio and
semiconductor portfolio in
         recent earnings calls and presentations. As part of your response,
please provide us with
         such revenue disaggregation information for the periods presented.
Refer to ASC 606-10-
         50-5 and ASC 606-10-55-89 through 55-91.
       In closing, we remind you that the company and its management are
responsible for the
accuracy and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review,
comments, action or
absence of action by the staff.
