(2) National Technology Plan
NTP (New Technology Products) Company, whose Chinese name is New Technology Products Company, is a patent company in Virginia, USA. At the beginning of its establishment, its assets were 50 American patents and unauthorized American or international patent applications. These patents or patent applications relate to the fields of "wireless e-mail" and "RF antenna design".
NTP takes the initiative to ask companies that are using related patents to accept their patent licenses and then collect patent fees. Once the company disagrees, he will take them to court, and they will never want to apply for these patents they hold. The dispute with RIM(Research In Motion) is the most striking one in NTP's history of making money from patents.
