Acacia strikes new patent deal with RPX

• Acacia's (NASDAQ:ACTG) Cell and Network Selection and SOTA Semiconductor units have "entered into a new agreement" with RPX (RPXC). Acacia also struck a deal with RPX in 2013.
• Acacia and RPX's respective client bases are often at odds with each other. The former helps patent owners monetize their assets (often by pursuing infringement suits), while the latter helps tech companies protect against infringement risk, in part by acquiring and sub-licensing patents.
