"Furthermore, if Nokia fails to pay that royalty rate, Qualcomm is seeking a decision that Nokia loses the paid-up status of those early patents." This is not my understanding. My understanding is that Qualcomm asked for an arbitration decision that declared that Nokia had either ratified the option by continuing to use the Q's IP or that by not paying the agreed upon royalty, Nokia was in violation of the agreement and therefore had no valid license.
