Maurice, Don't kid yourself about rubber bullets. This ERICY is a real shrewd outfit. I'm sure QCOM learned quite a bit following IDC's trail in the court rooms. IDC too has a case pending in the USA courts with ERICY. To show you how shrewd they are , IDC filed the suit on the East coast in a branch that was said to have a rocket docket. This was so the case would be heard quickly. ERICY went to that court and showed them that they had filed one hour earlier in Texas and the case was transfered there. Texas is ERICY's home court. The very same patent that they are challenging here was issued to IDC in Sweden under ERICY's objection. The US courts suck on patent trials. Everywhere else in the world they are heard by Judges that have knowledge of the issues. The Mot/IDC trial was a winner too. The very same patent that Mot tried to have invalidated because of prior art they also applied at the USA patent office and were refused because it was issued to IDC. Why would they apply for something that they thought wouldn't hold up in court ? To show you what are court system is like and what can happen listen up. When the jury went out on the MOT case one juror called for the judge to have something explained. She needed to know what the difference was between a land line and a cellular phone. Imagine having someone like that on a jury. Well Two days after the decision the Supreme Court came out with the Markman decision which will prevent that from happening to QCOM. It is a major decision on prior art. IDC has won again in Germany ater waiting three years for the appeal to be heard. Three years waiting and one day in court. Well I hope QCOM shareholders won't have to wait as long as IDC,s people did. It will be a long battle unless they come to agreement. GE lost a case against a small company and it took over 11 years. Good luck. Jim
