•	Purchasing trends away from traditional PCs and toward computing devices without optical disc drives, such as ultrabooks and tablets;

•	Because PC OEMs are required to pay us a higher per-unit royalty for Windows 8 PCs that include optical disc playback functionality than Windows 8 PCs that do not include such functionality, the continued decreasing inclusion of optical disc drives in Windows 8 PCs will result in lower per-unit royalties;

•	PC software that includes our technologies on an unauthorized and infringing basis, for which we receive no royalty payments; and

•	Continued decreasing inclusion of independent software vendor media applications by PC OEMs.

•	Our ability to enforce our contractual and intellectual property rights, especially in countries that do not recognize and enforce intellectual property rights to the same extent as the U.S., Japan, Korea, and European countries do, which increases the risk of unauthorized use of our technologies;

•	Limited or no patent protection for our Dolby Digital technologies in countries such as China, Taiwan, and India, which may require us to obtain patent rights for new and existing technologies in order to grow or maintain our revenue; and

•

Because of limitations in the legal systems in many countries, our ability to obtain and enforce patents in many countries is uncertain, and we must strengthen and develop relationships with entertainment industry participants worldwide to increase our ability to enforce our intellectual property and contractual rights without relying solely on the legal systems in the countries in which we operate.

When the OECD finalizes these revisions, they will be adopted in various forms by many countries in which we operate. These revisions could increase our income taxes and adversely affect our provision for income taxes.
