Ericsson Sells Wireless Patents
Mobile Internet developer Unwired Planet Inc. inked a patent purchase agreement with Ericsson that has the Swedish concern transferring to Unwired Planet more than 2,000 global patents and patent apps that will “significantly broaden” Unwired Planet’s portfolio. The transfer includes 753 U.S. patents related to 2G, 3G and LTE technologies; Ericsson also will contribute 100 additional patent assets annually to Unwired Planet from 2014 through 2018. In return, Unwired Planet grants Ericsson “certain ongoing rights” to some future revenues generated from the enlarged patent portfolio; Ericsson also can license Unwired Planet’s enlarged patent portfolio. Moving forward, Unwired Planet will play an even larger role in mobile data as industry players evaluate future products and services.
