Mike: The vast majority of the discussion on patents was very naturally well before you picked up on the Q. This went on for over two years prior to the Ericsson/Qualcomm settlement. While I don't pretend to be a lawyer - far from it - the lawyers there seemed to be persuaded that the Q's position was extremely strong and would last much longer than that of most - because they are so important and their depth - plus the specific language in the license agreements which tie the licensee in knots legally well beyond the expiration of any specific patent.. A very sophisticated operation from its inception back in the late 80's and early 90's.

So if you wish to look for yourself, as I assume you do, suggest you search the winter and spring. In those days, the number of posts was much fewer - if that helps.

Best.
