Prof. Cotter Quoted by Reuters on Huawei/Verizon Patent Dispute

Professor Tom Cotter was quoted in a Reuters article titled “Explainer: Why is Huawei seeking $1 billion patent deal with Verizon?” “It was possible Huawei executives believe Verizon has been infringing their U.S. patents for some time but for business reasons waited until now to seek compensation,” Cotter said. “Patent owners ‘may not enforce their patents for a period of time, but they can choose do to so whenever they want to. It happens all the time.’”
