RIM Expands Their InterDigital Patent License To Include 4G

InterDigital » Patent Portfolio

InterDigital put out a press wire this morning announcing their extended license with RIM. According to them they have extended their license to RIM to include their 4G patents including LTE and LTE-Advanced from the previous 3G patents. In short InterDigital owns many of the standards required patents for LTE and RIM reaffirmed this by licensing them from InterDigital. Either way that is one lawsuit averted… hopefully.
