InterDigital Inc (IDCC)

last choice: Thanks for your comments regarding the protocol stack. In regard to Nokia having separate 2G and 3G contracts, there is only one PLA. What is interesting is that unlike other licenses the PLA itself does not define what is covered. For that you have to see the definitions in the Master Agreement which has not been made public. From the PLA:


"1.1 Definitions. As used herein, the terms set forth in the Master Agreement, Exhibit 1 thereto, when used with initial capital letters in this Agreement, including any Exhibits, attachments or amendments, shall have the meanings described in such Exhibit 1 .

ARTICLE II LICENSE GRANT

2.1 InterDigital Grant. ITC hereby grants and shall cause IDC and their Affiliates to grant to Nokia a non-exclusive, non-transferable, worldwide, royalty-bearing license under the InterDigital Patents (excluding Patents for which the license is provided under the TDD Development Agreement) to design, make, have made (if substantially designed by Nokia), use, import, sell and otherwise distribute Covered Subscriber Units and Covered Infrastructure." (must go to the Master Agreement to see what is a Covered Subscriber Unit or Covered Infrastructure)


ghors, especially since nok's 2g and 3g are seperate contracts, (i believe).
