Nvidia has teamed up with patent licensing firm Intellectual Ventures to purchase 500 patents from IPWireless.
The patents cover wireless technology, including LTE, LTE-Advanced, and 3G/4G. Ownership of the patents will be split between Nvidia and Intellectual Ventures; Nvidia will license the patents it did not acquire. IPWireless, meanwhile, will retain perpetual, royalty-free access to these patents.
Terms of the deal were not released.
