KEY ACCOUNTING POLICY – REVENUE RECOGNITION - Note 3	3. KEY ACCOUNTING POLICY - REVENUE RECOGNITION We enter into arrangements that can include various combinations of product sales, services, and licensing activities. In March 2015, we signed a license agreement as part of a multiple-element arrangement with a customer for our PicoP® display technology. The license agreement granted the customer a non-exclusive license to manufacture and sell display modules that incorporate our PicoP display technology. For multiple-element arrangements, we use a hierarchy to determine the contract consideration to be used for allocating revenue to deliverables: (i) vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value (VSOE), (ii) third party evidence of selling price (TPE) and (iii) best estimate of selling price. Because VSOE and TPE do not exist for the March 2015 agreement, we have allocated the contract consideration based on our best estimate. Under the terms of this multiple-element arrangement, we received an $8.0 million upfront payment in March 2015, and we will receive a per unit royalty for each display module sold by the customer. We expect to recognize revenue on the initial $8.0 million payment over a period of eight years which is the expected time frame that we will provide services under the agreement. Ongoing per unit royalties are reported by our customer quarterly and will be recognized as revenue as they are earned. Products delivered under multiple-element arrangements will be recognized upon acceptance of the deliverables by the customer or the expiration of the contractual acceptance period, after which there are no rights of return.
