Ericsson: making the call on licensing
Ericsson welcomed 2016 in much the same way as it ended 2015.
On January 14 the company announced it would extend its global patent licensing deal with Chinese phone maker Huawei.
A few weeks before, on December 21, it revealed another licensing agreement with Apple. At the same time, it announced an end to patent disputes between the companies.
The agreement with Apple brought to a close disputes in the US at the International Trade Commission, the US District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, the US District Court for the Northern District of California, and other rows previously heard in Germany, the UK and Netherlands.
