Introduction / WCDMA Technology / Products / Licensing / Contributing to Industry Standards / Technology Patents



Since our inception, InterDigital has employed an aggressive program of developing and protecting our intellectual property, with the ultimate objective of realizing licensing revenues from use by third parties of inventions covered by our patent portfolio. Since 1992, we have generated over $400 million in patent royalty and technology licensing payments.

InterDigital believes that, in many instances, licenses for certain of our patents are required for third parties to manufacture and sell digital cellular products in compliance with TDMA and CDMA-based standards currently in use worldwide. Accordingly, we offer non-exclusive, royalty bearing patent licenses to telecommunications manufacturers worldwide that manufacture, use or sell, equipment utilizing our extensive portfolio of essential or commercially important intellectual property, including patents relating specifically to digital wireless radiotelephony technology, Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) and Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA).
