Quite right: <The value of a patent should be accorded it at the time the standard is being set - how essential is it then? If the courts cannot recognize this then they are setting the stage to destroy the standardization process as we know it. The companies with the really essential patents will refuse to play - after all, why should they if their property will not be accorded accurate worth post facto. >

And QUALCOMM explained that they would require their normal royalty from W-CDMA With that requirement ringing in their ears, the VW-40 gang went ahead and included QCOM's intellectual property in the W-CDMA collage.

The GSM Guild wants to play Calvin-Ball.
