Dear Mr. Ewing:

This letter responds to your request on behalf of the 3G Patent Platform Partnership
(.Partnership.) for the issuance of a business review letter pursuant to the Department of

Justice.s Business Review Procedure, 28 C.F.R. § 50.6.  You have requested a statement of
the
Department.s antitrust enforcement intentions with respect to a proposed evaluation and
licensing regime, called the 3G Patent Platform for Third Generation Mobile Communication
Systems (the .Platform.).   On May 28, 2002, in response to competitive concerns about the
1
Platform structure originally proposed, your firm submitted revised documents on behalf of
the
Partnership substantially modifying the original Platform proposal.    The analysis and 2

conclusions of the Department in this business review are applicable only to the most
recently
submitted versions of the Platform documents, which are considered to supercede all
earlier
versions.
