Wi-Lan Steps Away from Mosaid Technologies

Wi-Lan Inc. has no plans to sweeten its hostile takeover bid for rival Canadian patent licensing firm Mosaid Technologies after U.S. private equity firm Sterling Partners topped its $532 million offer last week, Reuters reported. Mosaid agreed to be acquired by Sterling for C$590 million ($581 million), or C$46 a share, it said late on Thursday.
