Fujitsu said Tuesday it has completed its acquisition of a division of a Canadian company that holds a portfolio of WiMAX-related patents.
Fujitsu Microelectronics America said it has completed acquisition of the intellectual property (IP) division of Wi-LAN.

Terms of the acquisition were not released.
