He has negotiated many license agreements in this technology, to the complete satisfaction of his clients, with industry-leading companies and with “non-practicing entities.” He has made in-depth evaluations of numerous patent portfolios in many aspects of mobile handset technology, including the portfolios of LSI (formerly Agere Systems), Intellectual Ventures, Mosaid, Core Wireless, Stanford University, Broadcom, Qualcomm, Guardian Media, Philips, Kodak, Golden Bridge, AT&T, DataQuill, Digicomm, Dicam and Wi-Lan.
