OTTAWA, ONTARIO--Oct. 4, 2010 -- MOSAID Technologies Inc. (TSX:MSD) today announced that it has signed a multi-year, royalty bearing patent portfolio license agreement with a top-ranked, U.S.-based semiconductor supplier.
"This is the first wireless patent license agreement that we have signed with a semiconductor vendor, providing another source of licensing revenues for our wireless patents," said John Lindgren, President and CEO, MOSAID.
The five-year patent portfolio license agreement includes a series of fixed payments for a number of quarters, beginning in MOSAID's second quarter, as well as quarterly royalty payments payable throughout the license term, commencing in MOSAID's third quarter. All other financial details are confidential.
"We are very pleased to have signed a wireless patent license with a company that is one of the top five suppliers of Wi-Fi semiconductor devices worldwide," said Lindgren. "It is noteworthy that this company approached MOSAID for the purpose of obtaining a broad license that provides the company, and its customers, with the freedom to sell Wi-Fi products worldwide that operate in accordance with our patents."
Under the terms of the non-exclusive patent portfolio license agreement, MOSAID has granted the company a license under MOSAID's wireless patent portfolio covering all semiconductor products sold worldwide that operate in compliance with the IEEE 802.11 standard (commonly known as Wi-Fi). The license agreement can be automatically renewed at the end of the term. MOSAID also granted the company a license under MOSAID's microcomponents patent portfolio, covering worldwide sales of 802.11-compliant products.
