CSIRO snatches $220m windfall in WiFi patent dispute with AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon

Australia's Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization keeps bowling 'em over - in the courtroom, anyway - with its hardy WiFi patent. The government-funded research group has chalked up another $220 million win after AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, Acer, Lenovo and Sony each agreed to establish licenses with the litigious group. CSIRO now holds agreements with 23 companies and has pocketed more than $430 million from its courtroom activities.
