InterDigital Inc (IDCC)

OD and all, I have been looking a lot more into this technology (referenced in your post) and have found some interesting dots/tea leaves. Not that this helps much in our reading of same, but it does highlight (IMO) the incredible importance of the ‘244 patent. It looks like the '244 if reversed, could cause many a world of hurt?

Dot 1
Additional comment from the link in your post:
InterDigital's 3.5GHz and TVWS dual transceiver with guaranteed QoS service software in conjunction with Spectrum Bridge's shared spectrum database is being demonstrated this week at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

Dot 2
From the patent description:
The '244 patent covers a system and method of "short-range, high-speed, and long-range, lower-speed, data communications using a dual-mode unit."

Dot 3
From Respondents complaints about IDCC’s motion to amend the ITC 337/868, to include the ‘244 patent. (This was denied and excluded in the ITC investigation, but included in the DE case)
ITC 337/868 -
ALJ Rodgers order denying IDCC‘s amended complaint to add the 244
‘respondents continue that six of the eleven claim charts for the ‘244 patent are for products not identified in the original complaint, and add an entirely new category of accused devices that does not exist in the current investigation – dual mode devices that lack 4G capability and are designed to operate with 3G networks that are not otherwise alleged to provide a basis for infringement.

Spread Spectrum was the focus of Pickholtz, Schilling and Milstein way back when…….

Definition: Spread Spectrum
Spread spectrum is a form of wireless communications in which the frequency of the transmitted signal is deliberately varied. This results in a much greater bandwidth than the signal would have if its frequency were not varied.


Shared Spectrum and the 3.5 GHz Band
JANUARY 13, 2016

Recently FierceWireless reported that Google, AT&T and Nokia have begun exploring in the 3.5 Ghz band. This helps validate the work we’ve done over the last 3 years to help make shared spectrum on the 3.5 GHz band a reality. It’s not just passing interest the 3.5 GHz band, it is larger than that. And it’s a clear sign that shared spectrum is truly disruptive.
