In cases where the development of new company requires rapid progress in some areas, Intel is sometimes resorted to the acquisition of third-party development, sometimes together with their authors. In the case of RealNetworks , however, we deals only with purchase of package development for $ 120 million, as well as the software next generation video codec. Intel will have 190 registered patents, 170 patent applications and related software.
Note that most of RealNetworks developments are related to video processing , so it is logical to assume that with these acquisitions, Intel somehow will develop its ability to play streaming video processors. Processor giant only hints that RealNetworks development will be used in ultrabook and smart phones. Intel right to use patents will not be exclusive - RealNetworks will continue to use some of them in their own interests. The companies also signed an agreement on cooperation in the development of video and create new products for new markets. Related Products :
