Description: IDCC InterDigital November 05, 2025
InterDigital Inc. (NASDAQ: IDCC) is a Delaware-incorporated R&D firm that creates and licenses wireless, visual, and AI-driven technologies for a broad spectrum of devices-including smartphones, IoT gadgets, automotive systems, and cloud-based video services. Its patent portfolio spans legacy standards (CDMA, TDMA) and next-generation protocols (OFDM/OFDMA, MIMO, 5G, and emerging 6G), as well as video coding, machine-learning algorithms, and connectivity solutions for wearables, smart factories, drones, and autonomous vehicles.
In FY 2023 the company reported roughly $1.1 billion in total revenue, with licensing fees contributing about 60 % of that total-a metric that highlights the cash-flow stability of its IP model. InterDigital’s R&D spend averaged 12 % of revenue, supporting a patent base of over 3,000 active 5G claims, positioning it to capture a share of the projected $1 trillion global 5G market by 2028. A key sector driver is the accelerating rollout of 5G infrastructure and the parallel rise of AI-enhanced edge devices, both of which increase demand for high-efficiency codecs and low-latency communication standards.
