`
`Dear Mr. Marino:
`

`
`
`
`Re: Neo Wireless Patent Portfolio
`Our File No. FMCL0301SEP
`
`
`I am writing in response to your November 29, 2021 letter regarding Neo Wireless’
`patent portfolio. You assert that the portfolio covers specific technology areas associated with
`the LTE, LTE-5G and 5G cellular standards. As you may know, Ford Motor Company
`purchases communication modules from its Tier 1 suppliers, who in turn purchase standard-
`compliant baseband modem chipsets from Qualcomm located at 5775 Morehouse Drive in San
`Diego, CA 92121.
`
`Ford respects the valid intellectual property rights of others. But Ford, as the automotive
`OEM, neither designs nor manufactures the standard-compliant modem technology addressed in
`your letter. Ford is thus not in a position to determine the technical relevance or value of Neo
`Wireless’ patent portfolio. I encourage you to direct your licensing offer to Qualcomm, the
`entity who designed and manufactures the cellular modems included as supplied components on
`Ford vehicles.
`
`If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
