Hi, all - Okay, now I am confused. If the tenor of the last few posts is accepted, then the vigorous IPR protection instituted by such industry giants as Qualcomm and Cisco (and the subsequent extraction of royalties) discourages innovation. " I actually hope to see Cisco move forward without any payments ... I believe it promotes more growth and progress " "I concur with your view about Wi-Lan and the battle for IPR advancements. No one can rest on their laurels in this exciting age." No one, except Cisco and Qualcomm, apparently. One sees, in IEEE/ITU documents on IPRs the recurring phrase - shared on a fair, non-discriminatory and equitable basis - my understanding of that phrase is: "Thou shalt not make a killing off thy competitors". What peculiar vision of worldwide free enterprise grants the right to intellectual property compensation only to (large) American companies? Is it your position that they are discouraging innovation? Then, when they buy such innovation as remains, with no intellectual input, and no commitment to R&D on their own part, are they not further impeding progress?
