Ericsson states that it has the industry’s strongest wireless IPR portfolio, comprising 27,000 granted patents that cover a wide range of technologies, from wireless access (2G, 3G and 4G) to WLAN and the whole Information and Communications Technology (ICT) value chain. As wireless access is now being added in new types of devices, Ericsson is reorganizing its Licensing and Patent Development department with the focus on further monetizing its IPR assets.
An unnamed source at Ericsson has also informed PowerPulse.Net that this strategy applies to the company’s power modules as well.
