SAN DIEGO-Qualcomm Inc. said it amended Sharp’s existing CDMA subscriber unit license agreement, expanding the licenses to include the development, manufacture and sale of subscriber equipment for third-generation CDMA and High Data Rate products.
Prior to the amendment, Sharp’s CDMA license covered only cdmaOne applications. Under the terms of the new agreement, Sharp will pay Qualcomm a multimillion-dollar license fee and ongoing royalties at the same rates, irrespective of the licensed CDMA standards.
