InterDigital Appoints Industry Veteran Marie MacNichol as Chief Licensing Counsel and Chief Licensing Officer
July 10 2014 - 9:00AM
InterDigital, Inc. (Nasdaq:IDCC), a wireless research and
development company, today announced licensing and litigation
industry veteran, Marie H. MacNichol, has joined the company as
Chief Licensing Counsel and Chief Licensing Officer. Ms. MacNichol
will drive day-to-day operations for InterDigital's Licensing,
Patent, and Litigation groups.
Ms. MacNichol first stepped into the world of patent litigation
as an attorney at Fish & Neave. She later accepted a role as
corporate counsel, responsible for IP licensing matters, at Lucent
Technologies and held the same position for Agere Systems, a
company divested from Lucent Technologies. Agere Systems later
merged with LSI Corporation where she served as managing IP counsel
and Vice President of IP law over the course of nine years,
overseeing a team of attorneys and paralegals in all intellectual
property matters.
Ms. MacNichol will report to Lawrence F. Shay, Executive Vice
President, Intellectual Property, and Chief Intellectual Property
Counsel at InterDigital. She will also assume certain of Mr. Shay's
day-to-day patent management responsibilities as he takes on the
broader role of managing both the invention activities within
InterDigital Labs – headed by Dr. Byung K. Yi, Chief Technology
Officer – and the patent monetization activities, which Ms.
MacNichol will lead.
"Managing and driving our licensing programs, and the
departments that support licensing, is obviously a key function at
InterDigital, and a significant driver of value in our core
business. With over 20 years in the licensing, litigation, and IP
management space, including her work at LSI Corporation, I'm
confident Marie will be a major asset to the company and will help
further the efforts that underpin shareholder value," said Mr.
Shay.
