FWIW, I wrote a small report on this company for a college project. The aspect I was interested most about Wi-Lan is that they just produce Intellectual Property, not anything concrete.

Essentially, as this article alludes to, they are in the business of making and enforcing their patents.

Below is their email to me back in Jun 27, 2007.

"Thank you for your interest in Wi-LAN. In particular, we appreciate your interest in presenting Wi-LAN at your course tomorrow.

As far as your specific questions are concerned, we have over 180 patents in our portfolio, many of which we believe are fundamental to products complying with Wi-Fi, CDMA, DSL, WiMAX and DOCSIS standards.

The impact of our patents for technology in the CDMA and Wi-Fi market is very significant in North America. Our patents for WiMAX, DOCSIS and DSL are significant around the world.

I’ve attached copies of our Annual Report, as well as our Annual Information Form, for more information. As well, please visit our website at www.wi-lan.com for more.
