Of course, the moment Datang sells equipment that QCOM believes is an infringement of CDMA patents, QCOM would have the right to sue them. Unfortunately, they might have to sue in a Chinese court, which would probably give no relief. But if Datang or any company controlled by Datang sells equipment that ends up in the U.S., then this is the kind of situation envisioned by the legislation that created the ITC.

In the end, this kind of situation is hardly different from Nokia claiming that QCOM patents no longer apply. Only it's more difficult to deal with the Chinese in an international forum -- unless the U.S. government steps in to remind the offending parties of their obligations under the law, if they want to continue doing business in the U.S. That is a proper role for government. Remains to be seen if the government will take up the challenge.
