Motorola , 3Com settle modem dispute
MANSFIELD, Mass., March 26 (Reuters) - Motorola Inc. and 3Com Corp. said Thursday they had settled a patent infringement dispute that was the subject of a federal lawsuit and that they had agreed to cross-license each other's modem patents.
Under the settlement, the companies said they have entered into a cross-licensing deal for all of their respective patents covering standards for analog modem, which are devices used to transmit computer data over standard phone lines.

The agreement covers the new V.90 standard for computer modems capable of transmitting data at up to 56 kilobits (56k) per second, as well as the older standard for sending and receiving data at speeds of up to 33.6 kilobits per second.

Motorola also will be licensed to technologies issued to Brent Townshend, who has patent applications pending on inventions that are basic to the technology breakthrough that made possible the higher speed 56k analog modems.

Last year 3Com obtained exclusive rights to Townshend's patents and the company now acts as a clearinghouse for licensing of technologies developed by Townshend, a Stanford University engineering professor.

The lawsuit, filed by Motorola in federal court in Massachusetts, originally targeted modem maker U.S. Robotics Corp., which was subsequently acquired by 3Com Corp., a diversified maker of networking equipment.
