InterDigital Listed Among Early IoT IP Leaders

<p>The Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the most important areas of research for InterDigital, for a variety of reasons. For our technologists, we understand that it&rsquo;s a force that will in all likelihood fundamentally alter the way the world operates, much like the advent of large-scale business computing or the Internet. For our investors, we often highlight that IoT is one of the next big opportunities that the company is working to capitalize on, through a variety of approaches including our<a href="http://ir.interdigital.com/releasedetail.cfm?releaseid=731296"> Convida Wireless joint venture</a>, our ONEMPOWER M2M service delivery platform, and <a class="offsite" href="http://wot.io/">wot.io</a>, our startup focused on IoT data management.</p>
<p>So although it&rsquo;s still early days for IoT, we were happy to see InterDigital included in a list of IoT market leaders when it comes to intellectual property. In a blog entry yesterday, Boston-based TechIPm, LLC, a professional research and consulting company specializing in technology and intellectual property mining and management, ranked InterDigital third in its &ldquo;<a class="offsite" href="http://techipm-innovationfrontline.blogspot.com/2015/03/m2m-d2d-communications-for-iot.html?m=1">M2M for IoT Innovation Ranking</a>,&rdquo; just behind LG and Ericsson and ahead of Samsung, ETRI and Qualcomm, among others.</p>
<p>The ranking underscores the pioneering development and standardization work that InterDigital has done in IoT, including helping to drive the ETSI standard that is now a part of the OneM2M effort. That work has also been captured in a solution, the ONEMPOWER M2M service delivery platform,&nbsp;<a href="http://ir.interdigital.com/releasedetail.cfm?ReleaseID=899365">which was highlighted</a> at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.</p>
<p>It should be noted, InterDigital does not vouch for the accuracy of third-party research or the methodologies such researchers employ &ndash; TechIPm&rsquo;s conclusions are their own. Still, it&rsquo;s nice to be noticed!</p>
