A Mobile Monday article discusses Nokia settlement with Interdigital for 253 million over 2G IPR. Looks like the IPR battleground is heating up for mobile. My problem is that the article does not describe the IPR in question. All it says is that it affects both 2G and 3G equipment. What about the other players […]
