Description: IDCC InterDigital January 08, 2026
InterDigital Inc. (NASDAQ: IDCC) is a Delaware-incorporated R&D firm that creates and licenses wireless, visual and AI-driven technologies for a broad ecosystem of device makers, automakers, cloud-service providers and consumer-electronics manufacturers.
Its core portfolio spans legacy cellular standards (CDMA, TDMA) through to modern 5G/6G radio-access solutions (OFDM/OFDMA, MIMO) and related 3GPP patents that power smartphones, base stations, connected cars, wearables, smart-factory equipment and drones. The company also supplies video-coding and transmission codecs, and is expanding AI/ML capabilities for edge-computing applications.
Key financial metrics (FY 2023) show roughly $1.0 billion in total revenue, with licensing fees contributing about 60 % and a 12 % year-over-year increase in R&D spend to $210 million, underscoring its commitment to stay ahead of the 5G-to-6G transition. The balance sheet remains strong, with cash and short-term investments exceeding $1.2 billion, providing runway for continued patent acquisition and partnership development.
Sector-level drivers that directly impact InterDigital’s outlook include the accelerating global rollout of 5G infrastructure (expected to reach > 70 % of mobile connections by 2025), the surge in AI-enhanced video streaming demand, and the growing adoption of connected-vehicle technologies, all of which increase the value of its licensed IP portfolio.
