• InterDigital Extends 4G Licensing To RIM



    InterDigital has extended their licenses to RIM to include 4G patents which including LTE and LTE-Advanced from the previous patents. Looks like this deal will also be multi-year, so I'm hoping that no issues arise on the legal side of things. InterDigital is a powerhouse when it comes to owning LTE patents.
