Mosaid, and its Nokia patents, get acquired by PE firm

Sterling Partners pays $594m for Canadian IPR firm, which now bears cost of licensing and defending key Nokia and Microsoft patents

...Another major wireless patent holder is InterDigital, which has been looking for buyers for its portfolio since the wave of Android lawsuits sparked off the recent scramble for IPR and consequent goldrush. However, interest in the assets was said to have declined once Google agreed to acquire Motorola Mobility, securing it the major IPR position it needed to defend Android from Apple, Microsoft and Oracle. Last week, announcing third quarter results, InterDigital said it was still weighing the possible sell-off.
