Techsplosion Joins SigmaTel Licensing Program
"We intend to require all of our players to be SigmaTel-based in the near future. We are pleased with the opportunity to offer our customers SigmaTel's market-leading MP3 technology," said Amar Kapoor of Techsplosion Limited. "We respect the impressive IP portfolio that SigmaTel has established and wish to honor those patents in our business via a royalty for any non-SigmaTel-based player sold in the future."
"SigmaTel's business is based on innovation and our continued success is based on our ability to protect that innovation," said Ron Edgerton, president and CEO of SigmaTel. "The agreement with Techsplosion guarantees that consumers in Europe will continue to benefit from the best portable audio technology available in the marketplace today."
SigmaTel announced the expansion of the company's intellectual property (IP) licensing program in January of this year. The licensing program is focused on IP used in MP3 players or in portable audio System on Chip (SoC) solutions for MP3 players and covers patents that SigmaTel has been awarded or has acquired in China, Korea, Europe and the United States.
