As the technologies empowering our connected future begin to take shape, engineers and inventors at InterDigital have been at the forefront of the advanced research to make 6G capabilities real. Among its novel capabilities, 6G will introduce Integrated Sensing and Communication, or ISAC, as a feature that equips networks with the ability to better understand their surroundings by "sensing." This enables diverse objects and surfaces to be detected in the environment. ISAC is poised to enable future cellular systems to act as radars and sense their environment, ultimately improving network effi ..read more

This month, we were pleased to commemorate the official opening of InterDigital’s Melville, Long Island office. In attendance were InterDigital’s engineers and members of the executive committee alongside local government leaders and academic partners to experience InterDigital’s research expertise and the outputs of our collaborative partnerships. We are glad to return to an area and community that fosters our engineers and their innovation impact, and were proud to celebrate alongside Francis Martin, District Coordinator for New York’s 1st Congressional District, and representative on beha ..read more

Telecommunications networks have historically been used exclusively for communications. As the wireless industry evolves toward 6G, traditional telecommunications networks and sensor technology like radar and LiDAR are beginning to converge in an innovative advancement called integrated sensing and communications, or ISAC. ISAC refers to the use of radio signals to “sense” or detect and identify various objects and surfaces within a surrounding environment. The radio sensing functions would be embedded into the network base station or user device to complement the data and information received ..read more

On May 2nd, InterDigital won an important court decision in Germany in our dispute with Lenovo over fair and reasonable compensation for our patented innovation. The case is a clear validation of the quality of our innovation and of our behavior through many years of negotiations. It is also a strong rebuke of Lenovo’s years of delay tactics and abuse of the FRAND negotiation process. The first instance decision from the Munich Regional Court found our 4G/5G patent-in-suit to be infringed and ruled that Lenovo should face a sales ban in Germany over all 4G and 5G-enabled devices. It also found ..read more

This week we’re marking both Earth Day and World IP Day. The latter this year is focused on the world’s efforts to reach the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030, which means that both days provide an opportunity to stop and reflect on how we’re working towards a more sustainable future. Intangible assets, including intellectual property, have become the most important drivers of the world’s economy. IP has formed the foundation of the defining shift in many countries over the last 50 years as they have moved from manufacturing-based to knowledge-based economies. Accord ..read more

Shortly before Christmas, InterDigital won a significant court victory against OPPO in Germany as part of our pursuit of fair and reasonable compensation for our patented innovations. The Munich Regional Court I ruled that InterDigital has acted in a FRAND manner, that OPPO infringed InterDigital’s 5G patent in suit, that OPPO is not a willing licensee and thus has not acted in a FRAND-compliant manner, and that InterDigital should receive injunctive relief in the German market. In short, it was a clear-cut verdict against OPPO and highlights a pattern of blatant holdout behavior which, unfort ..read more
