Encryption Plus Non-assertion Encoding Clause Samples

The 'Encryption Plus Non-assertion Encoding' clause establishes requirements for encrypting data and includes a commitment not to assert certain intellectual property rights related to the encryption methods used. In practice, this means that parties must use specified encryption standards to protect information, and they agree not to pursue legal action for patent infringement against others who implement these encryption techniques as outlined in the agreement. This clause ensures secure data transmission while reducing the risk of patent litigation, thereby promoting interoperability and legal certainty among parties using the agreed-upon encryption methods.
Encryption Plus Non-assertion Encoding. Content that is broadcast over the Protected Free-to-Air System may be encoded and transmitted as EPN, except that EPN encoding may not be applied to content that is broadcast (a) over another service, in the same market as the Protected Free-to-Air System, in High Definition, (b) at or about the same date as the broadcast over the Protected Free-to-Air System, (c) without using one or more digital protection methods (i.e., methods that impose numerical copy restrictions, restrictions upon retransmission, or both), including by way of example DTCP EPN encoding. Adopter acknowledges that EPN Encoding may not be asserted by Content Participants with respect to Other EPN Eligible Broadcast Television, except by such eligible Content Participants that are identified by DTLA. “EPN Encoding” means such encoding used by or at the direction of a Content Participant so as to cause a service or Program to be encrypted with DTCP but not to be subject to copy control restrictions.
