InterDigital Inc (IDCC)

mschere,

I'm not sure if I am reading the excerpt from the IDCC/NOK TDD license correctly but if I am interpreting it correctly;

1) NOK owns the technology, not IDCC.

2) IDCC can sell this technology and manufacture products that use it on a NON-EXCLUSIVE, NON-TRANSFERABLE basis. That means to me that it is NOK, not IDCC, that owns this technology and that IDCC cannot license it to anyone else. In fact, we may realize NOTHING from the world-wide spread of TDD. This may mean that the figure posted by sinnet14 reflecting NOK have 32% of the TD-SCDMA IPR and IDCC having 2% is correct.

I have not read the entire contract that you posted but I recall that NOK will be able to use all future TDD technology developed by IDCC royalty free. Will they also be able to license it to other instead of IDCC? Can anyone else shine some light on this?
