I agree with you in that respect Slacker. However I don't think it will get that far. I think that when NOK sees they have their back against the wall with respect to the strong arguments that QCOM has presented here and when the case seems to not be going their NOK's, NOK will come to the table.

I think the whole thing is stupid. If it came to logerhaeds, wouldn't both parties be entitled to license each others patents under FRAND? So the question is what is FRAND? It is whatever the parties in negotiation decide it is. If QCOM decides they are willing to pay a going rate for NOK patents,and NOK won't pay the going rate for QCOM patents, then Q gets a license for NOK IP and NOK can sit back without a license, infringing and getting sued by QCOM.

Seems to me that QCOM has been forthright, honest and businesslike in it's dealings with NOK. NOK has a reputation for trying to bully it's way to favorable agreements. But this time they have met up with a company that will call their bluff and will not cave in, because QCOM is in the right and NOK is in the wrong.

I feel this all goes back to the basic premis that Good will triumph over Evil.

Let's hope that my feelings about this are correct, and that there is still justice in this world where the good are rewarded and the bad are punished.
