Hop-on, Inc. has worked under standards-based patent licensing frameworks since the wireless era. Today the Company holds an active Nokia patent license for H.264/AVC decoding products — including the right to make and have made licensed products within the scope of the agreement. That license, and the history that produced it, is the IP foundation supporting Digitalage, Inc.
Hop-on, Inc. was founded in 1993 in wireless communications. Through three decades, the Company has worked under standards-based patent licensing frameworks — first in cellular communications, today in advanced video coding. That continuity is the IP foundation behind every product, partnership, and operating initiative the Company has undertaken.
Hop-on is a name with a long history of doing standards-based licensing the right way. That track record is why the relationships and agreements that define the Company's current IP posture exist at all.
From 2008 through 2022, Hop-on operated under a patent license agreement with Nokia Technologies Oy that covered the foundational cellular standards — including the right to make and have made licensed products within the scope of the agreement. The Company is no longer manufacturing wireless devices, and the cellular agreement is closed.
What that chapter built remains: a working understanding of how standards-based IP frameworks operate, and a reputation for handling them responsibly. That history is the bridge to the Company's active IP posture today.
Hop-on no longer manufactures wireless devices. The cellular standards-based license is referenced here only as part of the Company's historical IP record and continuing licensing discipline.
Hop-on, Inc. holds an active patent license agreement with Nokia under which the Company may manufacture, use, and sell licensed H.264/AVC decoding products. The H.264 Advanced Video Codec standard — as promulgated by ITU-T H.264 (05/2003), MPEG-4 Part 10, and ISO/IEC 14496-10:2003 — utilizes fundamental contributions made by Nokia, and operating any product that decodes H.264 in a major market requires properly licensed rights.
The license remains active. Within its scope, Hop-on may make, have made, and commercialize licensed products.
"Have made" rights, in practical terms, allow a licensee to engage third-party manufacturers or suppliers to produce licensed products within the scope of the applicable license. For Hop-on, that capability is meaningful because it opens a structured path for companies that need legitimate H.264/AVC patent coverage to enter US, EU, Canada, Japan, and other G7-tier markets.
Companies producing video decoding hardware — set-top boxes, media players, smart-display devices, edge-computing appliances, IoT devices with embedded video — must operate under properly licensed rights for the standards their products implement. Manufacturers without their own coverage face material exposure when shipping into the US and most G7 markets, where H.264 standard-essential patents are actively held and enforced.
Through its active Nokia H.264/AVC patent license, Hop-on is positioned to support legitimate commercialization pathways for licensed products within the scope of the agreement — including arrangements that engage third-party manufacturing under the Company's "have made" rights. Specific structures, scope, and terms are determined on a case-by-case basis within the boundaries of the underlying license agreement.
The right to produce H.264/AVC decoding products within the scope of the Company's active Nokia patent license.
The right to engage third-party manufacturers or suppliers to produce licensed products within the scope of the agreement — the centerpiece of the Company's current IP commercialization posture.
The right to use, sell, offer to sell, import, and otherwise dispose of licensed H.264/AVC decoding products within the scope of the agreement.
References to "make," "have made," and "commercialize" rights are provided only as a high-level description of Hop-on, Inc.'s licensed-rights posture under its active Nokia H.264/AVC patent license. Specific license terms, royalty terms, payment obligations, schedules, audit rights, termination provisions, and confidential contractual conditions are not disclosed. Any specific commercialization arrangement is subject to the scope and terms of the underlying license agreement and to additional commercial terms agreed by the parties.

The connective tissue between Hop-on's wireless heritage, its active H.264/AVC license, and the operating focus of Digitalage, Inc. is intellectual property — held responsibly, used within its proper scope, and applied to operating infrastructure that respects the rights of creators, rights holders, and platform participants.
Digitalage, Inc. is a wholly-owned Nevada subsidiary of Hop-on, Inc. It operates the live-first media infrastructure layer that makes broadcast and uploaded content verifiable, structured, searchable, and durably monetizable. Hop-on's IP discipline — three decades of working under standards-based licensing frameworks — is what allows the Digitalage platform to be built and operated on a credible IP foundation.
OOVE is a separate legal entity and is not a subsidiary, affiliate, or wholly owned operation of Hop-on, Inc.

Any economic benefit Hop-on or its subsidiary Digitalage, Inc. may derive from OOVE is contingent upon separate licensing or partnership arrangements, and there is no guarantee that such arrangements will be executed, renewed, or materially beneficial to Hop-on shareholders.
