Sharp and Daimler sign license agreement on LTE patent license

Sharp and Daimler AG have reached a license agreement on wireless communication standard essential patents (SEPs) relating to LTE, adding to an already existing license agreement between Sharp and a component supplier, which already covers the vast majority of Daimler vehicles.

Sharp has now licensed LTE SEPs to many leading companies. Sharp keeps expanding the number of licensees and continues to grant its SEP licenses to any other parties under fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory conditions.

Sharp, as a Japan’s leading cell phone vendor, has been providing new-to-the-world mobile handsets that create people’s new life styles. In addition, Sharp has been contributing for over 20 years to development of core technologies on mobile communication systems including 3G, 4G and 5G. Sharp’s 3G/4G/5G SEP portfolios now include more than 6,000 patents which provide value to 3G/4G/5G products. Along with continuously innovating future mobile communication technologies, Sharp will pursue its vision - ”Changing The World with 8K+5G and AIoT.” Sharp is listed on Tokyo stock exchanges (TYO 6753).
