(firmenpresse) - OTTAWA, CANADA -- (Marketwired) -- 09/22/15 -- WiLAN (TSX: WIN)(NASDAQ: WILN) today announced that the Company's subsidiary, Advanced Microscopy Inc. has entered into a patent license agreement with Olympus Corporation. The license relates to technology that provides enhanced image processing capabilities. It has potential applications including, but not limited to, life sciences, material sciences, and semiconductor research.
The licensed portfolio was acquired through a licensing partnership with a top research institution in April 2015. This is the second license WiLAN has secured to this portfolio since its acquisition.
