<p>It is with great sadness that we acknowledge the passing of our founder, Sherwin Seligsohn.</p>
<p>Sherwin was a true pioneer in connected technologies, founding the company that came to be known as InterDigital in 1972. Our first public innovation was a portable analog radio system in the 450 Mhz band, including a wireless handheld analog telephone capable of connecting to a public network. 50 years later, technology has evolved but Sherwin’s passion for innovation and connectivity remains engrained in InterDigital’s DNA.</p>
<p>Our thoughts are with Sherwin’s friends and family, and we will carry his legacy with us.</p>
