Licensing activity remains steady with extensive on-going interest and activities across the company's technologies.
"We continue to make good progress with volume ramp up across many of our existing technologies, as more of our licensees bring our latest technologies to market in increasing volumes," said Chief Executive Hossein Yassaie.
"At the same time we are making the necessary investments in essential complementary technologies to fuel our continued long-term growth."
