More on Townshend story: 3Com reaches accord on high-speed modem technology LOS ANGELES , Sept 3 (Reuter) - 3Com Corp. on Wednesday said it has signed an exclusive licensing agreement with the inventor who made the 56 Kbps modem possible, in hopes of moving the industry closer to a uniform standard. . . . In a conference call with reporters, Dunsmore hinted that 3Com may seek royalties from Rockwell and others for incorporating Townshend's technology in their modems. "It is our view that Townshend's (pending) patent is very broad relative to the 56 Kbps end-to-end solution which would encompass any 56 Kbps implementation," he said. Rockwell declined to comment on the issue of possible royalty payments or whether its technology incorporates Townshend's intellectual property. A spokesman for 3Com said the company would defend its license with Townshend, once his patent was issued, but stressed that 3Com was hoping to move toward an industry standard and is not looking to get bogged down in patent infringement lawsuits. Townshend has worked as a consultant to 3Com for a number of years. He is president of Townshend Computer Tools and chief executive of Ordinate Corp. as well as an associate professor at Stanford University. biz.yahoo.com o~~~ O
