For the Staff’s convenience, each of the comments in the Staff’s letter is reproduced below in bold and italics, with the Company’s response set forth in regular font immediately thereafter. 1. We note your statement that since 2005 your technologies have generated no royalty or product revenues. Please revise to provide additional background information to help investors understand the reasons for this absence of revenues, especially in the light of your large R&D expenditures. For example, provide a brief history of the company, highlighting, for example, when your principal products were first developed and marketed, and how the decision to file a patent claim against Qualcomm came about. Clarify the extent to which the company pursued other means of revenues during the pendency of that claim. In future filings of our Form 10-K, we will expand Item 1, “Business,” of Part I, to include the following: Prior to 2005, our business was primarily focused on our receiver, or d2d, technology. Our business plan included efforts to license the technology as well as the development and sale of retail wireless networking products that incorporated the d2d technology. In 2005, we exited our retail business activities in order to better focus on our licensing efforts and on product and component development, manufacturing and sales. This strategy coincided with the introduction of a new family of wireless technologies, the transmit, or d2p, technology family. Our primary target market became the mobile handset industry and over the next several years we focused our marketing and sales efforts within this industry. Securities and Exchange Commission November 16, 2015 Page 2 In 2007, we entered into a licensing and engineering services agreement with VIA Telecom, Inc. (“VIA”), under the terms of which VIA had the right to manufacture devices based on our technology and pay us a per unit royalty for the license. However, the license also provided us with the right to manufacture and sell such devices ourselves to third parties. Starting in 2009, because VIA had not manufactured any royalty-producing devices under this agreement, we began working with VIA on the joint development of reference platforms that incorporated our RF products and VIA’s baseband processors without the exchange of intellectual property rights. We also worked with VIA to co-develop a sample 3G mobile handset which verified our technology in a working implementation and tested our technology’s performance. The results of these efforts were utilized to market our product to VIA’s customers. Starting in 2010, we modified our circuit layout and packaging to meet design requirements of specific VIA’s customers. In 2013, we entered into a formal development agreement with VIA whereby we would compensate VIA for the resources required for their development and ongoing support and maintenance of the custom interfaces between our products for a specific customer. Pursuant to the agreement, VIA completed the development of the custom interface for certain of its baseband processors. In 2014, we terminated our formal development agreement with VIA prior to VIA’s completion of the interface to its latest model baseband processor due to the uncertainty of the specific customer’s future use of the VIA baseband in its products. We also continued to follow leads outside of our primary target market. As a result, in 2007, we entered into a license agreement with ITT Corporation (“ITT”) for our d2p technology. From 2008 to 2010, we provided ITT with a development/demonstration platform, supported ITT in marketing our technology to their customers and seeking funding for product development, and provided subcontract services to ITT under a government contract for a transceiver application for military products. Ultimately, ITT did not manufacture any royalty-producing devices under this agreement. Since 2011, we have not been actively engaged in product development or other activities with ITT. Our lack of tenure in the mobile handset industry coupled with the unique nature of our technology resulted in lengthy and intense technology evaluation and due diligence efforts by potential customers. Furthermore, in order to utilize our technology in a mobile handset application, our RF chipsets must interface with the baseband processor that generates the data to be transmitted. Although our technology is capable of interfacing with any baseband processor, the development of the interface between the baseband processor and our chipset requires a cooperative effort with the baseband provider. Accordingly, our marketing efforts were dependent on the activities of third parties. In addition, we believe our technology has been broadly infringed by other participants in our primary market as discussed elsewhere in this annual report, reducing the competitive advantage of our technologies. We believe these factors hindered our sales efforts, particularly in our primary market. Securities and Exchange Commission November 16, 2015 Page 3 In 2011, through analysis of conference papers and tear down reports, we concluded that Qualcomm’s ICs were infringing our d2d technology. Based on our belief that our d2p technology is widely-deployed in the mobile handset market as a result of infringement of our patents, we began to more vigorously pursue an intellectual property licensing strategy. In addition, we began to shift our primary target market for products, redirecting our product development efforts towards internally developed IC component products that targeted less integrated markets than the mobile handset market. 2. You state that the litigation investment firm 1624 PV, LLC will likely receive a “portion of our proceeds” and that their compensation is subject to a maximum. In light of the importance of such litigation proceeds to your current business plan, please provide greater clarity regarding the impact such compensation will have on whatever proceeds you may receive from future litigation. You need not disclose an exact amount of or percentage for determining such compensation, but may instead, for example, provide a range or formula. In future filings of our Form 10-K, we will revise Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” of Part I, to include additional disclosures regarding contingent fees due to third parties. We respectfully note that the compensation terms in the agreement with 1624 PV, LLC are subject to a confidential treatment order granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 30, 2015. In addition, at any given time, we may have contingency financing arrangements in place with multiple parties. Furthermore, the terms of these types of financing arrangements will vary greatly depending upon the amount of financing provided, the specified use of the funds, and the amount of proceeds received, among other factors. Rather than focus our future discussion solely on the arrangement with 1624 PV, LLC, we believe it would be more meaningful to provide disclosure regarding management’s expectations as to the overall contingent fees that may be payable to third-party litigation funders as well as the law firms representing us in these matters. We propose adding the following disclosure: Proceeds from litigation awards and settlements, as well as certain other patent licensing activities, may be reduced by contingent fees owed to law firms and litigation funding parties. These parties generally require priority reimbursement for out-of-pocket amounts disbursed by them as well as a percentage of the remaining net proceeds. Management expects that this contingent percentage will vary between 10% and 50% of the remaining net proceeds depending upon a number of factors including the size of the award, the nature and timing of the proceeds, and the amount of the investment by the funding party relative to the cost of the action. To date, we have not filed any actions covered by our agreement with 1624 PV, LLC (“1624”) or used any of their committed funds. As a result, we currently have no contingent amounts due to 1624 from any proceeds we might receive.

Dear Mr.
Spirgel:
This firm
is legal counsel to Parkervision, Inc. (the “Company”). On behalf of
the Company, we hereby respond to the Staff’s comment letter to the Company,
dated June 4, 2009, relating to the above-captioned Annual Report on
Form 10-K (“10-K”). Please note that, for the Staff’s convenience, we
have recited each of the Staff’s comments and provided the Company's response to
each comment immediately thereafter.
Form 10-K for the Year Ended

Item 7. Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, page

1.
We
note your response to prior comment 1 from our letter dated May 14,
2009. Though Item 101(c)(viii) of Regulation S-K does not
require disclosure as a material customer, we note that your business is
substantially dependent upon your license agreements with these three
counterparties. They are not just material customers but are
your only customers. The identity of the counterparties to your
licensing agreements is material to an understanding of your financial
condition and your prospects for future product and royalty revenue and is
required disclosure under Item 303 of Regulation S-K, even if you have not
yet received licensing revenue to date. Revise your disclosure
to include the
Confidential

identity
of the counterparty for the licensing agreement that you refer to as
“Confidential Licensee.”
The
Company acknowledges that Item 303 of Regulation S-K, rather than Item
101(c)(vii) of Regulation S-K, is the basis of the Staff’s comment.
The
Company does not believe that the name of the Confidential Licensee is material
to an understanding of the license agreement and the prospects for future
product and royalty revenues thereunder. The Company has fully
disclosed the nature of the relationship and the material features of the
license agreement. As discussed by telephone conversation with Scott
Hodgon on June 11, 2009, and with you on June 17, 2009, the Company believes
that, by revising its 10-K disclosure to provide supplemental information about
the Confidential Licensee other than the Confidential Licensee’s name, the
Company will have disclosed the information material to an understanding of its
prospects under the license agreement, without the substantial adverse
consequences to the Confidential Licensee and the Company (as discussed below)
that could result from disclosing the Confidential Licensee’s
identity.
The
Company proposes to revise its 10-K disclosure and provide information about the
Confidential Licensee’s products, customers, and geographic
reach. Such information will permit investors to evaluate the
Confidential Licensee’s business and understand the prospects for future royalty
revenue to the Company under the license agreement. [***].
The
Company has recognized no revenue to date from the licensing agreement and
expects that, once meaningful revenue is realized, it will be required to
disclose the identity of the Confidential Licensee pursuant to Item 101(c)(vii)
of Regulation S-K. Not until the Confidential Licensee’s product has
been successfully developed and tested for high volume production will the
Company receive any license fees under the license agreement. The
Company and the Confidential Licensee are in the process of completing such
development and testing. The Company has publicly disclosed that it
anticipates revenue from the license agreement to commence in 2009 and if this
occurs, and the revenue is meaningful, the Company would identify the
Confidential Licensee in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2009 in accordance with Item 101 (c)(vii) of Regulation
S-K.
The
Company risks substantial adverse consequences from the disclosure of the
Confidential Licensee’s identity at the present time. Confidentiality
of its identity was a condition to the Confidential Licensee entering into the
License Agreement with the Company due to significant strategic and competitive
concerns. The Confidential Licensee currently relies upon [***]. It is
expected that incorporation of the Company’s technology into the Confidential
Licensee’s products will replace [***]

[***]. Until
completion of development and testing of the Company’s technology, the
Confidential Licensee will [***]. Revealing
the Confidential Licensee’s identity would jeopardize [***] prior to the
availability of products incorporating the Company’s technology. In
addition, revealing the Confidential Licensee’s name would potentially negate
the advantage gained by the Confidential Licensee through introducing a
higher-performance product without advance notice to its
competitors. The Company believes that, for these and other reasons,
if it is required to reveal the name of the Confidential Licensee at this time,
the Company’s ongoing business relationship with the Confidential Licensee would
suffer permanent damage and the successful completion of the product development
contemplated by the license agreement would be endangered.
For the
foregoing reasons, the Company proposes the following revisions to the Company’s
10-K to provide additional information concerning the Confidential Licensee
without revealing its identity (inserted language is underlined and
deleted language is struckthrough):
A. The
first paragraph of Item 1 of the 10-K will read in its entirety as
follows:
In 2007,
we entered into licensing agreements with two customers, ITT Corporation (“ITT”)
and a global baseband
chipset supplier whose name remains confidential under the terms of our
agreement with themconfidential mobile
handset chip supplier (“Confidential Licensee”).
B. The
first and second paragraph of Item 7 of the 10-K will read in their entirety as
follows:
We are in
the business of designing, developing and selling our proprietary RF
technologies and products for use in semiconductor circuits for wireless
communication products. Since 2007, we have entered into three
customer contracts for the incorporation of our technologies into wireless
chipsets, modules and products. Two of the three customer
agreements represent licensing agreements whereby our customers, ITT and a Confidential
Licensee will incorporate our IP into their own wireless semiconductor
circuits and/or radio products.
The two licensing customers
include ITT and the Confidential Licensee. The Confidential Licensee
is a fabless supplier of chipsets that support 2G, 2.5G and 3G mobile standards
with engineering design and sales locations in both North America and
Asia. The Confidential Licensee designs and supplies chipsets, and
related handset reference designs, predominantly to ODMs for incorporation

Comment:
We
note your disclosure that you have three current customer agreements, two of
which are licensing agreements, one with ITT and one with an unidentified
licensee. Revise your disclosure to include the identity of the
counterparty for the licensing agreement that you refer to as “Confidential
Licensee.”

Response:
The
Company does not believe that the name of the Confidential Licensee, as
distinguished from the Company’s relationship with the Confidential Licensee, is
material to an understanding of the Company’s business. The Company
has fully disclosed the nature of the relationship and the material features of
the licensing agreement. The agreement calls for the Confidential
Licensee to implement the Company’s technology in its own products for
subsequent sale to others. Not until the Confidential Licensee’s
product has been successfully developed and tested for high volume production
will the Company receive any license fees under the agreement. To
date, the Company and the Confidential Licensee are in the process of completing
such development and testing.
We note
that Item 101(c)(vii) of Regulation S-K requires disclosure of a customer by
name only if sales to the customer equal ten percent or more of the registrant’s
consolidated revenues and the loss of such customer would have a material
adverse effect on the registrant and its subsidiaries taken as a
whole. As the Company has recognized no revenue to date from the
agreement and the Company believes the loss of the Confidential Licensee would
not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, the Company is
not required under such regulation to disclose the Confidential
Licensee’s name pursuant to this Item.
Furthermore,
confidentiality of the Confidential Licensee’s name was a condition to the
Confidential Licensee entering into the agreement with the Company due to
strategic and competitive concerns. The Company believes that if it
is required to reveal the name of the Confidential Licensee at this time, the
ongoing business relationship between the two companies would be permanently
damaged.

Comment:
Please
tell us how you evaluated whether you were a development stage enterprise
pursuant to SFAS 7. In this regard, we note your minimal revenues in
2007 and no revenues in 2008.
Response:
The
Company advises the Staff that it has considered the guidance provided by SFAS 7
and believes the Company does not qualify as a development stage
enterprise. Paragraph 8 of SFAS 7 defines a development stage
enterprise as a company that devotes substantially all of its efforts to
establishing a new business and either (i)
planned principal operations have not commenced or (ii) planned principal
operations have commenced but there has been no significant revenue
therefrom. Note 1 to the Company’s consolidated financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 defines our business as the
“design, development and sale of our proprietary radio-frequency technologies
and products for incorporation into wireless communications
products.” We have three current customers for our
technology/products. These customers have lengthy (12-24 month)
design cycles for the incorporation of our technology into their
products. We do not believe ParkerVision’s efforts are devoted
substantially to establishing a new business as described in SFAS 7, but rather,
our efforts are devoted substantially to supporting our customers during their
lengthy design/integration process. We anticipate revenues from these
contracts will begin in 2009.
We
further reviewed the specific activities that represent a development stage
enterprise as delineated in paragraph 9 of SFAS 7 which states, “A
development stage enterprise will typically be devoting most of its efforts to
activities such as financial planning; raising capital; exploring for natural
resources; developing natural resources; research and development (as defined in
paragraph 8 of FASB #2), establishing sources of supply; acquiring
property, plant, equipment, or other operating assets, such as mineral rights;
recruiting and training personnel; developing markets; and starting up
production.” Although ParkerVision does raise capital from time to
time to support its operations, this represents a fairly insignificant portion
of the company’s efforts on an annual basis. In addition, the Company
has had an insignificant amount of personnel recruitment and/or training
activities in the past three years and its annual capital expenditures are
insignificant as well. In addition, the Company is not, and does not
intend to be, a semiconductor manufacturer. Therefore, the Company
has no production start up activities outside of coordination of production
through existing foundry relationships and/or as it relates to support of
customers who are producing semiconductors based on the Company’s intellectual
property and reference designs. The Company does incur substantial
research and development expense on an ongoing basis and therefore those
activities, as defined by SFAS 2, paragraph 8 were further scrutinized in the
Company’s evaluation of SFAS 7.
Paragraph
8 of FASB 2, defines the types of activities that would typically be included in research
and development to include, “laboratory research aimed at discovery of new
knowledge,” “conceptual formulation and design of possible products,” “design,
construction and testing of pre-production prototypes and models,” and
“engineering activity required to advance the design of a product to the point
that it meets specific functional and economic requirements and is ready for
manufacture.”
Paragraph
8 of FASB 2 further identifies the types of activities that would typically be
excluded from
research and development including, “Routine,
on-going efforts to refine, enrich, or otherwise improve upon the qualities of
an existing product,” “adaptation of an
existing capability to a particular requirement or customer's need as part of a
continuing commercial activity,” and “legal work in connection with patent
applications or litigation, and the sale or licensing of
patents.”
In
evaluating activities in which the Company is predominantly engaged, “adaptation
of an existing capability to a particular requirement or customer’s need as part
of a continuing commercial activity” is largely representative of the company’s
efforts over the past 2 years and much of the Company’s expense that is
classified as research and development is related thereto. The core
technology has been established for a number of years but has the capability of
being adapted to a number of different wireless products. The
company’s principal “product” is this core intellectual property, and although
there exists an on-going effort to refine this product, as evidenced by
continued patent filings and continued development expenses, the laboratory
research and discovery efforts related to its intellectual property was
conducted over the course of several years as an effort related initially to
improvement of the company’s video products (such products and related assets
were sold to Thompson/Grass Valley in 2004 at which time the Company focused its
efforts solely on its current business activities).
In
summary, the Company’s core technology, and the business activities and
personnel required to support the sale of that core technology, have been
established for a number of years. Our efforts, particularly during
the years referenced in the Staff comments, are devoted largely to the support
of existing customers in adapting our technologies to their products, a process
that requires a lengthy (typically 12-24 month) customer design cycle to
complete. As a result, the Company believes it does not meet the
qualifications as a development stage enterprise.

Comment:
Please
provide a separate caption and line item for “patents and copyrights” in your
consolidated balance sheets. Refer to paragraph 42 of SFAS
142.
Response:
We have
considered the Staff’s comment in concert with the provisions of SFAS 142,
paragraph 42, which states, “At a minimum, all intangible assets shall be
aggregated and presented as a separate line item in the statement of financial
position.” The Company’s intangible assets include not only
patents and copyrights as cited in the Staff comment, but also licensing fees
paid to others. These intangible assets, in the aggregate,
represent over 95% of the “Other Asset” caption on our consolidated balance
sheets. Cash surrender value of life insurance, deposits and other
immaterial assets, representing less than 5% of total assets, and therefore not
required to be separately presented in accordance with Rule 5-02 of Regulation
S-X, have historically been included within this caption on the consolidated
balance sheets.
We hereby
request the Staff’s permission to modify our balance sheet presentation to
separately state “Intangible assets, net” and “Other assets” on a prospective
basis, beginning with our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter
ended June 30, 2009.

refers to Instruction 1 to Item 402(c)(2)(v) and (vi).
Response:
We have
considered the Staff’s comment and hereby request the Staff’s permission to
disclose the assumptions made in the valuation of stock and option awards on a
prospective basis, beginning with the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement on
Schedule 14A to be filed in July 2009. We note that the executive
compensation disclosure in the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement will cover
the same periods as and be otherwise identical to the executive compensation
disclosure in the Form 10-K. We will add the assumptions made in the
valuation of stock and option awards to footnotes (1) and (2) of the directors’
compensation table.
