Meanwhile, outside any pools that may emerge for LTE, Ericsson has started signing its first licensing deals for its patents in the technology, which are likely to be significant. Gustav Brismark, VP of patent strategies at the Swedish giant, told Reuters that the company has more than 80 patent agreements in place for GSM and W-CDMA and that "the first agreements including LTE have been signed, and over time more or less all these agreements will be renegotiated to include LTE, but that will not be done in a day". He added: "We see that we are keeping our leading position as we go from GSM to W-CDMA to LTE. That is important to be able to continue the strategy of having license revenues as one part of what Ericsson makes money from."
