InterDigital, Inc. (IDCC - Free Report) has secured a multi-year, worldwide licensing deal with Seiko Solutions Inc. in a bid to incorporate its standard essential patents related to cellular wireless technologies in the latter’s range of phones. The agreement strengthens InterDigital’s long-term investment in research and innovation while underscoring the importance of its diverse patent portfolio across several key technologies in the global market.

The company delivers avant-garde products based on wireless and miniaturization technologies to its customers, thanks to its expertise in mobile technology. Some of the products related to its mobile solutions segment are wireless routers, mobile phones, smart healthcare products, and wireless sensor networks.
Per the agreement, the non-exclusive, royalty bearing license will support Seiko Solutions’ phones. These phones will be equipped with InterDigital’s crucial patents related to 3G, 4G, and 5G cellular wireless technology. Thanks to their long-standing relationship and constructive bilateral negotiation, both the entities have renewed the licensing agreement.

Nearly 80 companies across the globe licenses InterDigital’s patent technology, including leading firms like Apple Inc. (AAPL - Free Report) , Huawei, Samsung, LG and Sony Group Corporation (SONY - Free Report) .

Its patented technologies are used in several products like mobile devices, wireless infrastructure equipment as well as IoT devices and software platforms.

This underscores the strength of its portfolio across several key technologies related to cellular wireless, including 3G, 4G, and 5G, Wi-Fi, and HEVC video technology.
InterDigital’s global footprint, diversified product portfolio, and the ability to penetrate different markets are impressive. Apart from the Wilmington, DE-based company’s strong portfolio of wireless technology solutions, the addition of technologies related to sensors, user interface, and video to its offerings is likely to drive significant value.
