Intel Buying InterDigital's Wireless Patents for $375 Million
Intel plans to spend $375 million to buy InterDigital's wireless patent portfolio of about 1700 wireless patents and applications. Professor Crouch notes below that InterDigital's stock price immediately jumped 28% on news of the purchase. The $260 million increase in InterDigital's valuation shows before the sale the patents were only valued at $115 million suggesting valuation of US patents in the mobile computing space can be an imprecise science. Here are several articles with details:
