TOKYO: Japan's Sharp Corp said today it has signed a licensing agreement with Daimler as it settled a patent infringement lawsuit against the German automaker over in-vehicle mobile communications technology.

The Japanese electronics firm won the patent dispute in a ruling last month by a German court that allowed Sharp to enforce a sales ban against Daimler under certain conditions.

Sharp has over 6,000 patents covering 3G/4G/5G technologies.
