BlackBerry Announces New Patent Licensing Partnership with Industry Leader

WATERLOO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Nov. 15, 2017) - BlackBerry Ltd (NYSE:BB)(TSX:BB) announced today that it has entered into a strategic licensing agreement with Teletry, an independent operating company with expertise in building relationships between patent holders and licensees in the wireless technology industry.

As part of the arrangement between Teletry and BlackBerry, Teletry will have the right to sublicense a broad range of BlackBerry patents to a majority of global smartphone manufacturers. BlackBerry will retain ownership of approximately 40,000 patents and applications and operate its own licensing program outside of Teletry's sublicensing rights.

"We are pleased to be working with one of the pioneers of the modern smartphone who created one of the most valuable patent portfolios in the industry," said Kasim Alfalahi on behalf of Teletry. "Through our new licensing program, Teletry looks forward to working with global smartphone manufacturers to license these innovative technology assets."

Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
