Samsung Settles Cellphone Patent Case

Samsung Electronics, the world’s second-largest phone maker by sales, will pay $400 million to InterDigital as part of a deal to settle a long-running wireless patent-infringement dispute before the U.S. International Trade Commission.

InterDigital, a small wireless company based in King of Prussia, Pa., has struggled for years to license its technology to the largest cellphone and network equipment makers.
