of the securities that we and the selling stockholders may offer and sell from time to time. Each time we offer and sell any of

stockholders may be required to provide you with a prospectus supplement containing specific information about the selling stockholder
and the terms of the offering. Any prospectus supplement that we or the selling stockholders provide to you may add, update or
change information in this prospectus. To the extent there is a conflict between the information contained in this prospectus and
any accompanying prospectus supplement, you should rely on the information in the prospectus supplement, provided that if any statement
in one of these documents is inconsistent with a statement in another document having a later date&mdash;for example, a document
incorporated by reference in this prospectus or any prospectus supplement&mdash;the statement in the document having the later
date automatically modifies or supersedes the earlier statement. Any statement so modified will be deemed to constitute a part
of this prospectus only as so modified, and any statement so superseded will be deemed not to constitute a part of this prospectus.
This prospectus, together with any accompanying prospectus supplement, will include all material information relating to an offering
pursuant to this registration statement. You should read this prospectus and any prospectus supplement, as well as the documents
incorporated by reference herein and therein, carefully before you invest in any securities.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 47.05pt">This prospectus, any accompanying prospectus
supplement, and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein, contain forward-looking statements within the meaning
of the federal securities laws. These forward-looking statements are intended to qualify for the safe harbor from liability established
by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this

on our management&rsquo;s current assumptions and expectations of future events and trends, which affect or may affect our business,
strategy, operations, financial performance, liquidity and future prospects. Although we believe that these forward-looking statements
are based upon reasonable assumptions, they are subject to numerous known and unknown risks and uncertainties and are made in light
of information currently available to us. Many important factors, in addition to the factors described in this prospectus, may
materially and adversely affect our results as expressed or implied in our forward-looking statements. You should read this prospectus,
any accompanying prospectus supplement, and the documents we incorporate by reference herein and therein, completely and with the
understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from and worse than what we expect.</P>

and uncertainties and are not guarantees of future performance. As a result of the risks and uncertainties described above, the
forward-looking statements discussed in this prospectus might not occur and our future results and performance may differ materially
from the information provided in these forward-looking statements due to, but not limited to, the factors mentioned above. Because
of these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements when making an investment decision.</P>

New risk factors and uncertainties emerge from time to time and it is not possible for our management to predict all risk factors

of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.</P>

no obligation to update or review any forward-looking statement because of new information, future events or other factors. You

we file after the date of this prospectus. For additional information, see the section entitled &ldquo;<A HREF="#a17">Where You Can Find More Information</A>.&rdquo;</P>

and related absolute return assets and engage in the licensing and enforcement of patented technologies. We partner with inventors
and patent owners, applying our legal and technology expertise to patent assets to unlock the financial value in their patented
inventions. We generate revenues and related cash flows from the granting of patent rights for the use of patented technologies
that our operating subsidiaries control or own. We assist patent owners with the prosecution and development of their patent portfolios,
the protection of their patented inventions from unauthorized use, the generation of licensing revenue from users of their patented
technologies and, where necessary, with the enforcement against unauthorized users of their patented technologies through the filing
of patent infringement litigation. We are principals in the licensing and enforcement effort, obtaining control of the rights in
the patent portfolio, or control of the patent portfolio outright.</P>

have generated gross licensing revenue of approximately $1.6 billion, and have returned more than $796 million to our patent partners.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 47.05pt">Investing in our securities involves
a high degree of risk. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider the risks described in (i) the
sections entitled &ldquo;Risk Factors&rdquo; in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent Quarterly Reports
on Form 10-Q, as filed with the SEC, which are incorporated by reference in this prospectus, (ii) the additional risks and
uncertainties described below, and (iii) any amendments or updates to our risk factors reflected in subsequent filings with
the SEC, including in any applicable prospectus supplement, or in any document incorporated by reference herein or therein.
If any of these risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations and future prospects could be
materially and adversely affected. For more information, see the section entitled &ldquo;<A HREF="#a17">Where You Can Find More Information.</A>&rdquo;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 47.05pt">The risks and uncertainties we have described
are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial
may also affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.</P>

incorporate by reference in this prospectus, contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual
results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including
the risks and uncertainties mentioned elsewhere in this prospectus. For more information, see the section entitled &ldquo;<A HREF="#a2">Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information</A>.&rdquo;</P>

hold Securities convertible into, or exercisable for, an aggregate of 114,589,045 shares of our common stock. As of November 2,
2020, 49,279,453 shares of our common stock were issued and outstanding. A future decision by Starboard Value and/or its affiliates
to sell all or a large portion of its shares, or the perception in the market that such sales could occur, could weaken market
confidence in our company and our future prospects, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results
of operation, and result in a decline in the market price of our common stock. In addition, such sales may impair our ability to
raise additional capital in the future at a time and price that our management deems acceptable. Further, it is possible that the
selling stockholders may sell their shares to one of our competitors, to a potential acquirer of our company, or to another person
whose interests may differ, perhaps materially, from those of our other stockholders.</P>

we are obligated to file the Initial Registration Statement to cover 130% of the shares of common stock underlying the then-outstanding
Securities issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part is intended
to satisfy that obligation. We also agreed to use our reasonable efforts to maintain the continuous effectiveness of the Initial
Registration Statement, but we may not be able to do so. We cannot assure you that we will not be required to suspend or cease
sales under the Initial Registration Statement, that the SEC will not issue any stop order to suspend the effectiveness of the
Initial Registration Statement or that, if such a stop order is issued, we will be able to amend the Initial Registration Statement
to remove the stop order to permit sales to be made under the Initial Registration Statement in a timely manner or at all. To the
extent the Initial Registration Statement is not effective, the selling stockholders&rsquo; ability to sell the shares of common
stock issuable upon the conversion or exercise of the Securities may be limited, which could have a material adverse effect on
the liquidity of our common stock.</P>

Plan, in general, if a person or group acquires beneficial ownership of 4.9% or more of the outstanding shares of our common stock

our stockholders (other than the acquiring person) will have the right to purchase securities from us at a discount to such securities&rsquo;

to be made, parties to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative
or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of such corporation), by reason of the fact that such person was an officer,
director, employee or agent of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as an officer, director,
employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys&rsquo; fees), judgments,
fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding,
provided that such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation&rsquo;s
best interests and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct
was illegal. Section 145 of the DGCL further authorizes a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any indemnified
person against any liability asserted against and incurred by such person in any indemnified capacity, or arising out of such person&rsquo;s
status as such, regardless of whether the corporation would otherwise have the power to indemnify such person under the DGCL.</P>

</FONT>Temporary Securities</B>. Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the Company may execute, and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities (printed, lithographed or typewritten) of any authorized denomination.
Such temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued, but
with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Securities, all as may be determined by the
Company. Every temporary Security of any series shall be executed by the Company and be authenticated by the Trustee upon the same
conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with like effect, as the definitive Securities of such series. Without unnecessary
delay the Company will execute and will furnish definitive Securities of such series and thereupon any or all temporary Securities
of such series may be surrendered in exchange therefor (without charge to the Securityholders), at the office or agency of the
Company designated for the purpose, and the Trustee shall authenticate and such office or agency shall deliver in exchange for
such temporary Securities an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of such series, unless the Company advises
the Trustee to the effect that definitive Securities need not be executed and furnished until further notice from the Company.
Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities of such series shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive
Securities of such series authenticated and delivered hereunder.</P>

or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company (subject to the next succeeding sentence) shall execute, and upon the Company&rsquo;s
request the Trustee (subject as aforesaid) shall authenticate and deliver, a new Security of the same series, bearing a number
not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated Security, or in lieu of and in substitution for
the Security so destroyed, lost or stolen. In every case the applicant for a substituted Security shall furnish to the Company
and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, and, in every case of destruction,
loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish to the Company and the Trustee evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction,
loss or theft of the applicant&rsquo;s Security and of the ownership thereof. The Trustee may authenticate any such substituted
Security and deliver the same upon the written request or authorization of any officer of the Company. Upon the issuance of any
substituted Security, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that
may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.</P>

</FONT>Evidence of Action by Securityholders</B>. Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the holders of a majority or specified
percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of a particular series may take any action (including the making of
any demand or request, the giving of any notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any other action), the fact that at the time
of taking any such action the holders of such majority or specified percentage of that series have joined therein may be evidenced
by any instrument or any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by such holders of Securities of that series in person
or by agent or proxy appointed in writing.</P>

solicit from the Securityholders of any series any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
action, the Company may, at its option, as evidenced by an Officer&rsquo;s Certificate, fix in advance a record date for such series
for the determination of Securityholders entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or other action, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so. If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action may be given before or after the record date, but only the Securityholders of
record at the close of business on the record date shall be deemed to be Securityholders for the purposes of determining whether
Securityholders of the requisite proportion of Outstanding Securities of that series have authorized or agreed or consented to
such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, and for that purpose the Outstanding Securities
of that series shall be computed as of the record date; provided, however, that no such authorization, agreement or consent by
such Securityholders on the record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of
this Indenture not later than six months after the record date.</P>

</FONT>Certain Securities Owned by Company Disregarded</B>. In determining whether the holders of the requisite aggregate principal
amount of Securities of a particular series have concurred in any direction, consent or waiver under this Indenture, the Securities
of that series that are owned by the Company or any other obligor on the Securities of that series or by any Person directly or

of the Trustee the pledgee&rsquo;s right so to act with respect to such Securities and that the pledgee is not a Person directly
