Apple and Ericsson have signed a patent-licensing agreement and put an end to on-going patent litigation between the two. Ericsson said the deal is broad and covers 2G, 3G, and 4G LTE technologies.
Royalty payment rates were the heart of the matter.
The agreement “means we can continue to work with Apple in areas such as 5G radio network and optimization of the network,” said Ericsson’s Chief Intellectual Property Officer, Kasim Alfalahi.
Apple sued Ericsson in January of this year, and Ericsson countersued. Terms of the patent-licensing agreement were not made public.
