Nanya Technology and Intellectual Ventures (IV) have entered into an intellectual property license agreement, according to the companies.
The agreement provides Nanya with a license to segments of IV's extensive patent portfolio, which includes more than 35,000 IP assets in more than 50 technology areas, the companies said. Nanya also gains membership in IV's IP-for-Defense program.
IV revealed that the IP-for-Defense program provides its customers accused of patent infringement with the ability to obtain patents from IV's portfolio to support counter-assertion, enabling more efficient negotiations in order to reduce liabilities and achieve favorable licensing terms.
Nanya is among the major Taiwan-based DRAM manufacturers.
