Telecoms equipment maker Ericsson and tech giant Apple have ended their legal feud and inked a multi-year, global patent license agreement between the two companies.
The agreement includes a cross-license relating to patented cellular standard-essential technologies and grants certain other patent rights.
The settlement ends lawsuits filed by both companies in several countries, including in the United States District Court of the Eastern District of Texas, as well as the complaints filed before the United States International Trade Commission.
Under the settlement, Ericsson and Apple have mutually agreed to strengthen their technology and business collaboration, including in technology, interoperability and standards development.
"We are pleased to settle the litigations with Apple with this agreement, which is of strategic importance to our 5G licensing program," said Christina Petersson, Chief Intellectual Property Officer at Ericsson.
"This will allow both companies to continue to focus on bringing the best technology to the global market."
According to Ericsson, the company's IPR licensing revenues continue to be affected by several factors, including expired patent license agreements pending renewal, the technology shift from 4G to 5G, and possible currency effects and geopolitical impact going forward.
Including effects of the agreement with Apple covering sales from January 15, 2022, and including ongoing IPR business with all other licensees, Ericsson estimates the fourth quarter 2022 IPR licensing revenues will be US$532 million to US$580 million.
Ericsson, a leading contributor to 3GPP and to the development of global mobile standards, says the value of the company's patent portfolio of more than 60,000 granted patents is strengthened by its leading position as a 5G vendor, and annual investments of more than US$4 billion in R&D.

ENABLE HYBRID CLOUD & REDUCE NETWORK LATENCY WHITEPAPER
Hybrid cloud promises to bring together the best of both worlds enabling businesses to combine the scalability and cost-effectiveness of the cloud with the performance and control that you can get from your on-premise infrastructure.
Reducing WAN latency is one of the biggest issues with hybrid cloud performance. Taking advantage of compression and data deduplication can reduce your network latency.
Research firm, Markets and Markets, predicted that the hybrid cloud market size is expected to grow from US$38.27 billion in 2017 to US$97.64 billion by 2023.
Colocation facilities provide many of the benefits of having your servers in the cloud while still maintaining physical control of your systems.
Cloud adjacency provided by colocation facilities can enable you to leverage their low latency high bandwidth connections to the cloud as well as providing a solid connection back to your on-premises corporate network.
Download this white paper to find out what you need to know about enabling the hybrid cloud in your organisation.
