`
`PROTECTING YOUFI INVENTION OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES
`
`Since the rights granted by a US. patent extend only throughout the territory of the United States and have no
`effect in a foreign country. an inventor who wishes patent protection in another country must apply for a patent
`in a specific country or in regional patent offices. Applicants may wish to consider the filing of an international
`application under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT). An international (PCT) application generally has the same
`effect as a regular national patent application in each PCT-member country. The PCT process simplifies the filing
`of patent applications on the same invention in member countries, but does not result in a grant of "an international
`patent" and does not eliminate the need of applicants to file additional documents and fees in countries where patent
`protection is desired.
`
`Almost every country has its own patent law, and a person desiring a patent in a particular country must make an
`application for patent in that country in accordance with its particular laws. Since the laws of many countries differ
`in various respects from the patent law of the United States. applicants are advised to seek guidance from specific
`foreign countries to ensure that patent rights are not lost prematurely.
`
`Applicants also are advised that in the case of inventions made in the United States, the Director of the US PTO must
`issue a license before applicants can apply for a patent in a foreign country. The firing of a U.S. patent application
`serves as a request for a foreign filing license. The application's filing receipt contains further information and
`guidance as to the status of applicant's license for foreign filing.
`
`Applicants may wish to consult the USPTO booklet, “General Information Concerning Patents" (specifically, the
`section entitled “Treaties and Foreign Patents") for more information on timeframes and deadiines for filing foreign
`patent applications. The guide is available either by contacting the USPTO Contact Center at 800186-9199, or it
`can be viewed on the USPTO website at http:!fwww.uspto.govlwebiolficeslpacidocigeneraliindex.htm|.
`
`For information on preventing theft of your intellectual property (patents. trademarks and copyrights), you may wish
`to consult the US. Government website, http;Uwww.stopfakes.gov. Part of a Department of Commerce initiative,
`this website includes self-heip "toolkits" giving innovators guidance on how to protect intellectual property in specific
`countries such as China, Korea and Mexico. For questions regarding patent enforcement issues, applicants may
`call the U.S. Government hotline at 1-866-999-HALT {1-866-999-4158}.
`
`LICENSE FOR FOREIGN FILING UNDER
`
`Title 35, United States Code, Section 184
`
`Title 3?, Code of Federal Regulations, 5.11 8; 5.15
`
`GRANTED
`
`The applicant has been granted a license under 35 U.S.C. 184, if the phrase “IF REQUIRED, FOREIGN FILING
`LICENSE GRANTED“ followed by a date appears on this form. Such licenses are issued in all applications where
`page2of3
`
`Exhibit 1002, Page 150
`
`

`
`the conditions for issuance of a license have been met. regardless of whether or not a license may be required as
`set forth in 37 CFR 5.15. The scope and limitations of this license are set forth in 37 CFR 5.15{a} unless an earlier
`license has been issued under 37 CFR 5.15(b). The license is subject to revocation upon written notification. The
`date indicated is the effective date of the license. unless an earlier license of similar scope has been granted under
`37 CFR 5.13 or 5.14.
`
`This license is to be retained by the licensee and may be used at any time on or after the effective date thereof unless
`it is revoked. This license is automatically transferred to any related applicationstsi filed under 37 CFFI 1.53(d). This
`license is not retroactive.
`
`The grant of a license does not in any way lessen the responsibility of a licensee for the security of the subject matter
`as imposed by any Government contract or the provisions of existing laws relating to espionage and the national
`security or the export of technical data. Licensees should apprise themselves of current regulations especially with
`respect to certain countries. of other agencies, particularly the Office of Defense Trade Controls. Department of
`State (with respect to Arms, Munitions and Implements of War (22 CFR 121-128)); the Bureau of Industry and
`Security. Department of Commerce (15 CFR parts 730-774); the Office of Foreign Assetscontrol, Department of
`Treasury (31 CFR Parts 500+) and the Department of Energy.
`
`NOT GRANTED
`
`No license under 35 U.S.C. 184 has been granted at this time, if the phrase "|F REQUIRED, FOREIGN FILING
`LICENSE GFtANTED" DOES NOT appear on this form. Applicant may still petition for a license under 37 CFH 5.12.
`if a license is desired before the expiration of 6 months from the filing date of the application. If 6 months has lapsed
`from the filing date of this application and the licensee has not received any indication of a secrecy order under 35
`U.S.C. 181, the licensee may foreign file the application pursuant to 37 CPR 5.15(b).

`BACKGROUNI)
`
`As fil:Ier—optic conu:nu.nication networks rapidly spread
`into every walk of modern life. there is a growing demand
`for optical components and subsystems that enable the
`fiher—optic contntunications networks to be increasingly
`scalable. versatile. rt‘.-bust. and oost—cii'ectivc.

`ncls to he simultaneousiy transmitted on a single optical
`Iiher by using dilferent wavelengths and thereby signifi-
`cantly enhances the information-bandwidth of the liber. The
`prevalence of WDM technology has made optical add—drop
`multiplexers indispeitsable building blocks of modern fiber-
`optic communication networks. An optical add-drop multi-
`plexer (()Al)Nl) serves to sclectively remove (or drop) one
`or more wavelengths liorn a rnultiplicity of wavelengths on
`an optical
`fiber. hence taking away one or more data
