About the Company

Interdigital

Licenses wireless and video technology patents

InterDigital develops wireless and video technologies and builds a large portfolio of patents. It invents new technologies, patents them, and licenses the intellectual property to mobile device makers, networks, and services providers. Its products work by providing foundational technologies that enable devices and networks to communicate and deliver video services, and its revenue comes from licensing those patents rather than selling hardware. What sets InterDigital apart is its extensive patent portfolio (tens of thousands of patents and applications), its focus on contributing technologies to global standards, and its licensing-based business model that monetizes R&D. The company operates worldwide with major manufacturers and technology companies as clients, aiming to influence the telecommunications ecosystem through standards participation. The goal is to enable connected and immersive experiences by developing and licensing foundational wireless and video technologies.
