In plain English
InterDigital invents nothing you can buy — it invents the wireless (3G/4G/5G, Wi-Fi) and video (HEVC/VVC) technology that goes into global standards, patents it, and licenses those standard-essential patents to the device makers who must implement them. About 340 engineers feed a portfolio that ~70% of the world's smartphones already pay to use, turning R&D into ~$869M of high-margin royalties.
