Tech stocks made a significant jump to kick off the week as Google-s acquisition of Motorola Mobility led to a surge in takeover speculation. As companies get larger and experience diminishing returns in their core business, they are showing willingness to utilize their large resource pools to acquire smaller firms in a race to diversify and to build their reach.
As the shift from 2G networks to 3G and 4G accelerates, communications equipment makers find themselves at a transition point. While many companies in the industry are finding new growth opportunities, they have had to sacrifice traditional revenue drivers.

InterDigital offers technology solutions for use in digital cellular and wireless products and networks, including 2G, 3G, 4G, and IEEE 802-related products and networks. It holds patents related to the fundamental technologies that enable wireless communications. A recent report from Reuters says that “Apple Inc., Nokia and Qualcomm Inc. are among several technology companies pondering bids for InterDigital.”
VirnetX is engaged in developing and commercializing software and technology solutions for securing real-time communications over the Internet. The company holds a patent for technology that has the ability to secure an entire mobile device, meaning phone-makers will likely have to pay major royalties to the company moving forward. Shares of the company have been on the upswing on speculation that the company could be a takeover target with the Analyst firm Cowen & Co arguing that Google-s acquisition of Motorola Mobility highlighted the value of VirnetX-s patents.
