WiLAN said on Tuesday that it had signed a patent licensing agreement with Apple and settled
All pending lawsuits, weeks after the iPhone maker won a patent dispute with the company over the wireless technology.
In February, Apple persuaded a US appeals court to reject the $85 million jury award for Canadian patent licensing company WiLAN after a retrial in 2020. Apple asked the federal circuit to deny the award on several grounds, including WiLAN expert testimony problems.
Apple sued Quarterhill Inc.’s WiLAN in 2014 and sought a ruling that it did not infringe patents related to
Allocate bandwidth in a wireless network. WiLAN claimed that the iPhone 5 and 6 models infringed patents using the LTE wireless standard.
WiLAN’s primary business is to take ownership of the intellectual property and then charge fees to the companies that profit from it.
The latter agreement includes the settlement and cancellation of all disputes between WiLAN and its subsidiary Polaris and Apple in the United States, Canada and Germany. The terms of the agreement, however, were not disclosed.
