Incidence bound for circles of different radii

From papers

Let IC(m,n)I_C(m,n) denote the maximum number of incidences between mm points and nn circles. The circle-incidence conjecture. For some positive constant cc,

IC(m,n)=O(m2/3n2/3logc(mn)+m+n).I_C(m,n)=O(m^{2/3}n^{2/3}\log^c(mn)+m+n).

This is a well-known incidence conjecture for circles of different radii; the paper cites Solymosi as an example of an external reference. Its status is not resolved in the supplied text.
