RE: Irwin Jacobs stated that Qualcomm's patents were not "band specific.

QCOM's Patents are not bandwidth specific, meaning that they do not claim a certain bandwidth, throughput, etc. I am still trying to figure out which 4 patents QCOM feels will protect them. Remember, Ericy, Mot, Nokia, etc. can still infringe on them and thumb their nose at QCOM. Then QCOM has to shell out alot of money suing them for infringement. Also, in the US, all patents are presumed to be valid, but...if you remember Intel... They sued Cyrix over the Crawford patent. Basically, Intel didn't enter into a cross licensing agreement with Cyrix, but Cyrix chips were being fabbed by IBM... Things could go differently in court..
