WiLAN Says PTO Validates Key Claims in Patent

Canadian patent licensing firm WiLAN Inc said the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office validated most of the claims in one of its key patents, bringing a re-examination process that began in January closer to completion. Broadcom and Intel requested a re-examination of the patent after a Markman ruling last year in cases related to the patent was given in WiLAN's favor.
