“InterDigital has not seen the complaint that was filed, so we can offer no specific response to whatever issues might be raised in the complaint,” said Lawrence Shay, President of InterDigital's patent holding subsidiaries. “InterDigital has over 200 engineers in four research and development facilities, and participates with engineers from a broad range of industry leaders in developing and testing innovative technologies that become wireless standards. We have in the past licensed, and continue to license, technologies on the terms set forth in our commitments to those standards bodies. Our long and successful track record of licensing more than 50 companies throughout the mobile industry is proof of that commitment, and of our ability to reach mutually agreeable terms for such licenses.”
Over the past three decades, InterDigital’s R&D team has developed fundamental wireless technologies that have shaped the cellular industry, and has built a portfolio of over 19,500 patents and patent applications as of December 31, 2011.
