I have invented one! <Because no one has found a standard, reliable method of valuing intellectual property, the two companies continue to spar over the relative contribution of each of them in various commercialized wireless technologies used today. > I call it "what the market will bear". Get potential buyers and sellers together and see if they can agree on a price. Whatever they agree is the value of it to the buyer and seller. If they disagree then the seller thought it was worth more than the buyer did and the seller keeps it for themselves. It's like me selling my car. If I agree with a price with a buyer, then that's the value of the car. Which, in that case, is worth more to the buyer and less to the seller, otherwise they wouldn't have made the transaction. If I can't agree a price with the buyer, then the car is obviously worth more to me than it is to them. I should put my theory in a "paper" and apply for a Noble economics prize. I might call it "supply and demand" though "demand" seems a little too loaded as a word. Perhaps it should be "consumption". Too many people DEMAND, like Nokia is doing, like spoiled brats. Meanwhile, Nokia now has a price advantage over everyone else, which is definitely unfrandly. Nokia can increase their market share with such a price advantage. I imagine Motorola, for example, will be very annoyed at Nokia being given such an advantage and might ask Uncle Sam to nuke Nokia. Justifiably so. I hope QUALCOMM isn't illegally using Nokia's property. That would be poor form. Mqurice
